Nigiri plate
Christine L.

This was my first time at any of the Hillstone restaurants and it did not disappoint. We had reservations and was seated relatively quickly, highly recommend making a reservation. We absolutely loved everything we ordered: -nigiri plate -rotisserie chicken -prime rib sandwich Everything tasted amazing (surprisingly the sushi was delicious!). We got cocktails and mid-cocktail the server came by and refreshed my martini glass to a cold one. The food quality and the service made our first visit so great that we are excited to try the other Hillstone restaurants.

1STAR to the artichoke last night. Usually the best but the quality was terrible vs the past and very expensive. Rest of the good and service was good. Cesar salad was "delicious" and steak was decent. Not Flemings, but tasted good and less cost. Fries just ok.

Sole

I wish Yelp had half ratings because I would give this place a 3.5. Some dishes were great but others fell short. Reservations are a must, it gets busy even for lunch. And honestly if I were to come back, I would only go for dinner. The price you pay is too high for lunch. Inside is dimly lit, another reason it's better to go for dinner, has a more romantic vibe. Service was really good 5/5. We got some sushi and the spinach dip. I would skip the sushi, it was mediocre, not worth the price. Spinach dip as also just ok. They can do without the sour cream on the side. Main dish which was the sole was actually really good. Amazing flavor, I would recommend it for sure!

Hawaiian steak
Melinda C.

I probably would have given the restaurant a 3.5 but the main entrees were delicious. Okay, so I think the appetizers and sushi were lacking, especially for the price. The layered sushi roll is 5 pieces of low quality sushi. The spinach dip is like eating Applebee's spinach dip. I was scared our main dishes were going to be similar. Fortunately, the main dishes were great. We ordered the Hawaiian steak, which was seasoned and cooked well. The prime rib sandwich was delicious as well. Don't waste money on the appetizers or sushi.

I came here for an early Valentine dinner but everyone seem to have the same idea as us so the wait was long. Note to self: Make a reservation next time. While waiting, there was a waitress who took drinks orders for people waiting. Other than the long wait, when my bf and I got seated, we were seated at the Bar. I ordered the Hawaiian steak and he ordered the wood grilled ribeye. I kept stealing my boyfriend's fries, the baked potato was alright. However for the medium Hawaiian steak, I ordered it was really good, the marinate was sweet and flavorful. My bf's wood grilled steak was very juicy. The service was friendly and kept asking us if we needed anything.

Hawaiian Rib Eye

My wife and I came to Houston's for my birthday dinner, but we've actually been here many times because the food, service, and ambience are consistently top notch. Our go-to dishes are the Hawaiian Steak (medium rare) and either the Baby Back Ribs or the French Dip. The Hawaiian Steak is super juicy and flavorful, and the loaded baked potato is to die for. The Baby Back Ribs have a great barbecue flavor with a nice crisp texture, and the fries are always solid. The beef in the French Dip is also really tender and moist, which makes it another favorite. The service is excellent, from the hosts at the front to the wait staff. Everyone is friendly and attentive. The ambience is modern and dimly lit, which makes it a great spot for a date night or special occasion. Another plus is the free parking lot with plenty of spaces, which is always convenient. It does get pretty busy, so I'd recommend making a reservation ahead of time. Overall, Houston's is one of those places that's consistently good, which is why we keep coming back.

Spinach Artichoke Dip (tortilla chips, salsa and sour cream)
Joe C.

Reservations were easy and was made directly through their website (https://houstons.com/locations/pasadena/). I made reservations the night before for a late lunch and was able to lock one in. We were a couple of minutes early and they already had a table set up for me and my wife. Leilani was our server and she was simply amazing! From the time we sat down, to ordering and food arriving to our table, everything was quick. Our go to items are always the Pan-Asian Noodle Salad and The Hawaiian (medium-rare). Food was made-to-order and portions were large enough to share between the both of us. The Spinach Artichoke dip is a must for us, but we were so full trying to finish everything. EVERYTHING was delicious! Overall, the staff was extremely attentive and were always checking in on us to see if we needed anything. At one point, we ran out of chips for the artichoke dip and they brought some more for us immediately. Houston's is always a nice treat for us when in the area and we can't wait to come back again!

Tuna roll sushi $17 - 4/5
Michael A.

I received a gift card here for $100 from a dear friend of mine. I never tried this place before and wanted to give it a shot. Outside, there's a vast parking lot near the back lot of the place. Me and a friend found one luckily although there may have been way more towards the rear but we were able to find one close by the entrance. Inside is low ambient lighting and a unique layout. Sort of like wood ranch, stone fire barbecue if you ever been. There was a booths to the sides and a massive bar round table where a lot of people were sitting, near the middle were a ton of booths with stairs leading up and down and a nice clean bathroom in the back corner. The AC was ramped up high on a very hot day exceeding 90 degrees outside. Service was excellent, the main waitress we had was pleasant all the way through our time being there. Her energy was incredibly high and she had a natural friendly behavior that is rare to see nowadays. Although it may be because she was hitting on my friend pretty much the entire time. She was flirting, telling him about the drinks and recommended things to order completely ignoring me, but not in a mean way. She was just well, attracted to him. As for the service at the front, the lady that seated us was really nice too. Very friendly, good communication like I never seen before in a lot of places. 5/5 overall in that regard, I felt appreciated and it's very rare to see that respect nowadays. As for the food, well, it is pricey. This is an expensive restaurant without question, but the quality and taste of the food was excellent. Fast service maybe 15 minutes and we got not only the appetizers, but the entree. We ordered sushi 8 piece tuna roll, artichoke dip with sour cream and salsa and chips, my friend got a lemon drop martini the waitress recommended for him because she liked him a lot, I just got water. The water was served in a small glass cup that was nice to grip and drink from. For entrees, I ordered the French dip with au jus and horseradish. It was so dang good. 5/5 in flavor and texture. The horseradish and au jus was so delicious with the sandwich. I also received coleslaw which was meh. My friend ordered the rotisserie chicken plate with greens. It was alright, but nothing spectacular. It was a 4/5 and both dishes were $29 each from what I remember. Not exactly cheap, but it was tasty. Our total was about $133. This exceeded the $100 we initially had. We tipped the waitress for outstanding service. The ambiance was amazing and the seats inside were full and comfy. I would recommend this place, I'll be back again for sure. Maybe on a special occasion though. It was better than most restaurants I have been too. Too bad it's far from home.

Caesar salad with cucumber avocado roll
Valentine D.

Had reservations on Sunday 7:30p - place was packed ! Was able to find parking in their parking lot. Amazing vibes overall. Ordered a lemon drop - half way thru the service - glass was changed to frosted glass which awesome! Had the best service with our waitress Julie! She made our first time experience at Houston's very pleasant! Can't wait to go back!

Barbecue Ribs
Hamlet O.

Always love coming here either for lunch or dinner. Dirty martinis are refreshing Ribs are always great, can't ever go wrong with ribs at Houston's.

Hawaiian Rib Eye
Adriana K.

Excellent food and service. Make sure to make reservations, because the bf winged it tonight and we waited 45 mins. But well worth it. Heated towels. Endless refills that never had to be requested. Delicious food. Conscientious service. I had the Scottish Salmon and bf had the Hawaiian ribeye. I did send my salmon back - but it was because they default to a medium rare cook on the salmon and for most people that's preferred. I can't have raw, so they were super great about it. They quickly served me a fresh plate with it cooked to a perfect medium. Seasoned well - very tasty! The ribeye was really good and you can smell steak deliciousness throughout the restaurant so I'm glad I got to taste it! Expensive but tasty!! We were too full for dessert, but great date night!!

Raspberry Mojito
Slim V.

Came here to celebrate my fiancé's birthday, and overall it was a great experience. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation--this place fills up quickly, and wait times can easily hit an hour. The ambiance is beautiful: a fully stocked bar, open kitchen, and even a koi pond at the entrance, which the kids loved. Since we had a reservation, we were seated pretty quickly and our waters were filled right away. We had already looked over the menu, so we knew exactly what we wanted. We started with the artichoke dip and the coconut shrimp roll--both were amazing. My daughter isn't the biggest fan of the regular menu, but they do offer an off-menu grilled cheese with fries, which she loved. Just something to note: they don't have an official kids menu. For our mains, my fiancé and I both ordered the Hawaiian steak with a baked potato, and it was finger-licking good. Super flavorful and cooked perfectly. I also had the raspberry mojito--really refreshing with fresh lime and mint. For dessert, my daughter got the hot fudge sundae and absolutely devoured it. Our server, Elina (hope I'm spelling that right!), was fantastic--very attentive and especially accommodating with our daughter. All in all, I'd give this place 5/5 stars. Perfect for a date night or special occasion. For families with kids, I'd say more like a 3/5 just because there's no dedicated kids menu--but they do try to accommodate. We'll definitely be back.

Haydee T.

Always consistently wonderful. The best margaritas and food. Fresh Fresh, Fresh ingredients are always used and it shows in the quality of the dishes. If you love french fries , they are a MUST try at Houston's. The service at the Pasadena location Is amazing and again always consistent. Not one complaint and plenty of accolades for Houston's Pasadena!

Ask the Community - Houston's Restaurant

Can it accommodate a party of 6?

The restaurant is styled for more intimate gatherings. Four are comfortably seated in some of the larger booths, six would be a squeeze. You can call to ask if their large circular booth would hold 6

Is there any dress code? Is jeans acceptable?

This is from the horse's mouth (a.k.a. the restaurant website). Now how literally they will enforce it may vary from case to case. I usually go there dressed casually but not in beach attire. Nice jeans should be fine. I've won them before:… Read more

Can any of the vegetarian options be made vegan?

How is the parking?

Not great for bicycles, but ok for cars....

Do you do take out?

Yes they do.

Open Christmas day?

Yes

Open thanksgiving day?

Houston's is closed on Thanksgiving.

Do they serve bread?

Bread is not served.

Do they do take out?

No they do not

Adding my name to waitlist?

If you call ahead,you can be added

Is it true that Houston does not allow you to dine in when you have a family or party of more than 4 people??? I just called to make a reservation & a female hostess said they do not allow parties of more than 4 with or without reservations to dine.

Yes, not sure why, but the Pasadena restaurant has tables that are fastened to the floor which prevents multiple tables from being moved in together for larger groups. So, the layout is set up for tables with two to four chairs. When it's crowded… Read more

Is the restaurant dog friendly?

Service animals only, but registered service animals, not some barking or easily distracted animal posing as one (which is a felony)

Are there high chairs now or a kids menu?

No there is not no high chairs or kid menus

Do you have to make a reservation or is walk ins fine?

With a reservation you will not have to wait if you just walk in it depends on how busy the restaurant is at the time you decide to go

Can my gf and I pop in here for a drink at the bar without having dinner? Is it realistic to think we could get a seat at the bar?…

Yes, you can no issue.

Can you accommodate a party of 20?

No. You can reserve a table for two or for four, but not for a table of 6 which is walk-in (first come first serve) only. Other than those tables, there is seating at the bar.

Do they do anything special for birthdays or anniversaries?

Nothing crazy the regular like other restaurants but it's a treat to go there and I just visited the Irvine one where they had their key lime pie .... OMG now I felt like it was my birthday cause I got an extra slice to go.

Is there outdoor seating at the restaurant right now?

No unfortunately they do not. I'd go early or for lunch maybe not as crowded. But there is a bar so some people come in just to sit and have a drink. Next time would not sit so close to bar.

Are the strict about attire guidelines? No hats really?

I didn't notice if people where wearing hats or not. I feel like there was someone at the bar eating across from us. They might want to avoid "politically" charged topics so make it easy to just to not want anyone wearing them.

Can a party of 5 be accommodated?

Yes. 6 or less.

Their 28 Oz ribeye was super tender and flavorful and paired perfectly well with their lobster mash potatoes. I was surprisingly impressed because I'm rarely happy with steaks at steakhouses considering how easy it is to source high quality meat and cook it perfectly at home.. Porter house was solid - though it could be cooked more evenly. Edges were pushing well done while pieces close to bone were med rare. The rest were fine. Solid dishes, no complaints. Ambiance/Service (4/5): I mean.. not a huge deal but.. a guest on our table asked if we can have an order of 5 scallops instead of 4... in which the server said "no problem" but proceeded to bring us 2 orders of 4 and charged us for 2 orders. If it wasn't ok - just say so? What's up with agreeing and then ignoring the request. Also, another guest in our party asked if soft drinks (coke) was refillable. In which they answered "yes" and proceeded to charge full price for every meal. Maybe restaurant policy or some disconnect there but whatever. Other than that - staffs were nice and attentive. Beautiful dining area. Definitely perfect for an upscale night out. Overall (5/5): I would 100% come back. Their steak is better than most fancy steak houses out in LA/Beverly Hills for a fraction of the cost. 28 Oz ribeye would easily go for mid to high 100s at any other places out there..

I'm glad he apologized for his rudeness of his manager and I hoped for a sensible resolution, but so far there's been nothing. I even responded to survey they emailed me after the dining experience and I still have not received a correspondence. I feel that the manager didn't take us seriously because we didn't have the usual look for the typical diners at this establishment.

Definitely worth the hassle. Or you could endure a 2 hour slog up the 5 Fwy (which makes the 12 hour flight sound good) and enjoy excellent Argentine cuisine here. Then when you get there, parking is not just a challenge, it's a mystery. Street parking only so prepare to be creative and lucky. The vintage building is attractive. Pitted carved concrete and Malibu tiles. Step inside and be greeted by a genuine warm smile and and someone that is happy to see you, and if your luck is holding the Host will invite you to a take a short shuffle to a huge booth where you can make a comfy nest. The Decor is a charcoal gray box with a dining room filled with 2 and 4 tops, a communal table or two, a private dining room and a curbside patio if you insist. Malbec is a perfect place to celebrate a Quinceanera, a non-Kosher Bar Mitzvah, a Golden Shower Retirement, a Gender Reveal, a Gender Conceal or that your substandard Insurance Co. will actually pay for your GPL-1 meds which you might need after over eating great food here. The patio outside is good if the tango loop inside is too loud, but then you're just trading that for unmuffled mufflers and exhaust fumes. At 5:00 PM it's just you and the Chorizo Sampler which is worth it's weight in Statins. The place reinvents itself by 8:00 PM when the chatter ratchets up and the dining room becomes a B. A. Social Club. The din of diners bounces around the room like a soccer ball at a Fifa Match. (Argentina is the reigning champion). The Staff: Rosa is delightful. A girl that never says no and someone who knows how to pull up the reins and spur the pony (read take charge and enhance your experience). The Bar: This long counter anchors the room and delivers what ever your poison might be. The Food: Malbec boasts a huge menu and all of it is good to great. Within minutes of settling in a Runner runs up to your table and sets down a basket of warm Bread with a cup of Chimichurri Sauce to dunk dip, drag and/on dredge your Bread in. The Malbec Salad was large enough to feed everyone in the Recoleta at sundown. Fresh Romaine, Radicchio, Goat Cheese crumbles, a hand carved Avocado fan (I'm a big fan of that), quartered Cucumber Coins, Frisee Lettuce, a sizable slice of toasted Bread, the large mound is mixed with a Caesar-ish Dressing and the whole pile is fresh, refreshing, tasty and a great dish to begin your dinner with. The menu is ambitious to say the least. Heroic lists of Appetizers, Pastas, Pizza, Mains, Seafood, Steaks, Sides, Sauces and Desserts. The Kitchen is fearless because they know they can crank out everything on the menu properly. And you know, they can. I opted for Pollo Las Hierbas (Herb Roasted Chicken), spatchcocked (back cone removed and the whole half Chicken squashed flat for quick and easy grilling). Did I mention that the portions are substantial? They are. The Chicken begins it's journey soaking in Lemon and Herbs. For an additional $2 you can bury the whole bird with Diabla Sauce. (read Spicy Chili Gravy). This Sauce would be delicious over julienned Gym Socks or Dust Bunnies. The welcome heat is delicious even if you're timid with spice. The Chicken arrives tender but with crisp edges, juicy and tasting like Chicken could and should taste. While the Chicken was definitely marinated it's hard to determine if it was brined first. No matter as it was spot on great. The Chicken Chef was not chicken and got it right. The Sauteed Spinach retained it's Spinach integrity and was fished out of the water while still slightly toothy. Excellent. The Kitchen elevated Spinach beyond Pop-Eye's power surge urge. This was beyond just a Side Dish. Vegans, have at it. The Roasted Potatoes were also good enough to enjoy as a Main. Really crunchy nuggets with creamy centers. This place not only offers fine comida de la gente, the restaurant is efficient but doesn't rush. Want to enjoy sobremesa? (relaxing time after dinner to discuss politics, religion, sex and gossip about the people you've just dined with). Sobremesa (literally means around the table) is a charming and civilized concept. Spanish culture doesn't like to hurry. So share the sad, glad, mad personal issues that go best after Dessert.
