For a meal you’re really going to remember, you’ve gotta make it Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse, one of downtown’s—and the entire city’s—most-awarded restaurants (much like the original in Houston), and one whose standards are as high as the day it opened downtown.
All your favorites are here, from jumbo shrimp and calamari to fresh oysters on the half shell and steak tartare. But there are plenty of pleasant surprises as well, including maple-glazed quail with sriracha sauce and pepper-crusted bacon, roasted with bourbon barrel maple syrup and a root beer glaze.
Steaks here feature USDA prime grain-fed beef, so when you dig into that filet mignon, prime ribeye, chateaubriand or porterhouse, you’ll taste the difference, especially when you complement them with Bearnaise, port peppercorn and blue cheese bacon butter. If you want beef but not steak, opt for the terrific wagyu braised beef, so tender and succulent.
The entrée menu’s options include plenty of poultry and fish options. The fried lobster mac and cheese is a beast, made with a 5-pound lobster tail, cavatappi pasta and lobster cheese sauce, while succulent, pan-roasted chicken is served with mashed potatoes and asparagus.
Desserts don’t get much more iconic than Vic & Anthony’s In the Round, an impressive chocolate globe that is melted at your table, revealing banana semifreddo, roasted white chocolate crumble and bananas Foster sauce.
