Vic & Anthony's

It doesn't matter if it’s as hot and steamy as a Swedish sauna outside, gentlemen are requested to wear jackets at Vic & Anthony’s. But it’s more than worth the sartorial effort as this posh downtown steakhouse expertly executes steaks cooked exactly to order with robust appetizers such as the meaty jumbo lump crab cakes with chive beurre blanc and side orders like the hearty au gratin potatoes. From well-heeled Astros fans looking for nearby post-game fine dining to oilmen trying to seal a deal over a 40-ounce USDA Prime porterhouse steak for two, Vic & Anthony’s is basically all about the joy of meat-lovers feasting on a mighty fine meal—one of those deep Paleolithic pleasures that has survived through the centuries and found deep roots in Texas.
