" Houston's " Located in Irvine in the middle of the business district . This place is a step in time to when advertising is dependent to reputation and not digital technology. Houston is located between Michelson and Jamboree it rest inside Park Place. The Food is Classic American Steakhouse , I personally was unaware of this restaurant because this restaurant is based entirely on reputation than advertisement from social media. There is no email guest list as well , from entering the facility we notice that it was moderately crowded with mostly business casual audience. We waited for 30 min to be seated, while waiting a waitress did come by and offered libations and drink while waiting in the lobby.

Prime Rib with AuJus , Baked potato with butter , sour cream , cheese and chives . A side of horseradish sauce.
|
When i orders the Prime Rib I made an incredible big mistake, I ordered it well done. Having ordered it well done made the center of the prime rib incredibly tuff and dry. The outer rim of the Prime Rib was delicious with a salty crust this part of the prime rib I did enjoy. The AuJus drip did compliment the Prime Rib , i was so thankful of the AuJus because i literally placed the center of the meat to soak up the dry part . The baked potato was soft and the ingredients melted nicely with meat of the potato , I did not try the horseradish since I personally don't like it . It was a good meal hence now knowing to never order Prime Rib Well done , this is one meat that does need some pink to it .

| Hawaiian glazed Ribeye served with a loaded Baked Potato |
This is one of Houston's most popular dish , it is a Ribeye marinated in a Hawaiian glaze. It is then over hardwood and served. I did not like the taste of the Hawaiian glaze by my significant other did. As far as tenderness it won on that part. The baked potato was meaty and moist with all the ingredients it compliment each other . This was a Meat and Potato meal , hearty , fulfilling and down right good. If you like tropical glazed on your meats that this should be perfect .

| Warm Five Nut Brownie served with a caramel Ice Cream ! |
This was my favorite dish , this is a warm rich chocolate brownie with a crisp outer crust served with five variety of nuts . Pistachios , Walnuts , Macadamia nuts Pecans this has no Peanuts what so ever. I cherished every bite of the dessert , the nuts were soft to chew and complimented the entire brownie and ice cream.
Overall Experience
Overall the experience was very delicious , knowing my mistake I will never order a Prime Rib Well done ever again. The wait time was difficult to handle for my significant other but being served a libation while waiting showed how the restaurant thought about their patrons. We will definitely be coming back again.
Lily's Tips
I was informed that Wednesdays - Fridays are their busy days , this is due partly from the business district going out to eat after work. Call ahead for reservations to cut back on time, parking is definitely difficult , be prepared to hunt for a parking space.
