If you've been to one before you know what to expect. I think the food is really good although a bit overpriced as are the drinks. The service is of course wonderful and there are tons of people running around if you can't find your server. They don't take reservations and the wait is ridiculous any hour on any day. But, it's definitely a place to be seen at happy hour.

I always loved the Biltmore Chicken Sandwich. They took it away and replaced it with a Rotisserie Chicken Sandwich, which is horrible! I know what you're thinking, "it's rotisserie chicken, how could that make such a big difference?" Well, it's something about the flavor that just doesn't work in the sandwich, it's awful! It's a shame because I live down the street and love their caesar salad and now there are no entrees I eat! (not to mention they won't do take-out) Houston's: Please, please bring the Biltmore back!

Pros: Cocktails, French Fries

Cons: Chicken Sandwich, Service has gone downhill, No Take-out

I WENT THERE TWO TIMES AND THE IMPRESSION WAS THE SAME. ONLY A FASHION PLACE. THE PLACE IS BEAUTIFUL BUT VERY NOISY, CUSTOMERS PRATICALLY EAT AT THE SAME TABLE, THE SERVICE IS VERY SLOW AND THE MENU SELECTION IS VERY POOR... LIKE THE FOOD. THE PLACE IS ALWAYS FULL AND PEOPLE FIGHT FOR A TABLE AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY... OH, YEAH, I FORGOT... FASHION, THAT'S IT.

Pros: FULL OF PEOPLE.

Cons: ONLY A FASHION PLACE.

I love this restaurant...I have never had a bad experience here. You will have to wait to eat...but it is worth it. I recommend the smoked salmon or spinach dip appetizer with a bottle of Rombauer Chardonnay...it is sssoo good! The steak here is always delicious as well as any of their other entrees. I go to this restaurant often....and I have never been disappointed.

Pros: Great food, Great ambience, Good Happy Hour spot

Cons: crowded bar, wait time

I was introduced to Houstons as a fluke one night in Miami. Since then, I have actually flown to Miami to catch a flight home, just to have dinner there. I have yet to find anything wrong with the staff, service and quality, and believe me, I have tried. The best of the best........Hats off to Houstons.

Pros: Fantastic food, Superb staff, Smart management

Cons: NONE

The Spinach Dip and the Ribs are excellent here! this is a must try for those who love ribs. you can almost compare it with the ribs in Flannigan's (which are my favorite).The staff had a good attitude and we did not wait long to be seated. We were satisfied.

I go to Houstons about 2-3 times a week. My boyfriend and I are very well known in this restaurant due to our frequency. I love the porkchops with the baked potato. Its amazing. Their spinach dip is to die for, thats my favorite dish. Sometimes we get to the restaurant and since we know almost every waitress they know that once we sit we requesat some spinach dip. Its like family there. I highly recommend this place.

The title should say it all; but, to explain -- when food finally did reach the table, it was COLD! I do not mean the salad - I mean the beef was cold, the fries were cold and to top it all off, the wait staff was rather cold as well! Venture to this location only if you dare!

This place is an animal house. Why would anyone want to dine in a place where you've got 2 inches of elbow room? For that, I'd hop on a 747--get more room on a plane. The food is overated and the Coral Gables ambiance is filled with snobs. The heat and the bugs of Miami will make waiting outside torture.

Pros: Parking, Drinks

Cons: , Average

Roomy banquettes and hefty portions typify this polished American grill that's popular for business deals and special occasions.  See the full editorial review.
