30. Vic & Anthony’s
Chef Carlos Rodriguez and his capable team make this flashy downtown spot more than just another expensive meat-and-potato palace. Yes, the USDA Prime steaks can be terrific. The lobsters, too. But the regionally inflected menu shines in unexpected ways, from nightly Gulf seafood specials to memorable crab cakes to plump quail with greens and Sriracha sauce. The wine list and the wines themselves are carefully tended. There’s an inviting marble counter with a kitchen view for solo diners. Even the ever-evolving house burger and hand-cut, sea-salt fries (served in the bar, and on Fridays in the main room, too) are things of beauty. End result? A local landmark with a distinctly Houston flavor.
