    Avocado and bacon
    Bethania H.

    We decided to take advantage of Restaurant Week to check out this spot, and it was a mixed experience. The location and ambiance are definitely the highlights--the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and we were seated right away.The meal started off incredibly strong. We ordered the meatball, bacon, and avocado appetizer, and it was delicious. The salads were also fresh and very well-made. Unfortunately, the momentum dropped significantly when the entrées arrived. Chicken Piccata, the flavor fell flat and tasted a bit bland, though the noodles were cooked perfectly al dente. Salmon, my husband's dish was way too fishy and completely overpowering. Luckily, the desserts saved the day and ended our evening on a high note. Ultimately, I have paid much less for significantly better-tasting food elsewhere. However, this is one of those places where location and atmosphere are everything. While I wouldn't return for a full dinner, I could easily see coming back to enjoy their gorgeous bar setting for drinks and appetizers.

    We just happen to walk in, without reservations, on social media night! Half the restaurant was overflowing with influencers which was interesting. They were very respectful and dressed like it was a cocktail party! We had our servers decide our meal and they got it out of the park! The chef himself came out and flamed our Tomahawk at the, stoped by a number of times to check on us, and made sure to thank us for coming in. This was a gem of a find, almost as great as our local steak house in Fort Worth. We had a great time and plan to stop by again. They have a large area for private parties and a nice outdoor seating area as well as a bar top.

    I came here with my friend to experience the restaurant and their HRW menu. They had some nice options for HRW so we were looking forward to it. I made reservations for 8:45pm but arrived at 8:15pm. I left my car with the valet. The hostess checked us in and told us we could sit at the bar while we waited for our table. The bar staff were super busy but at the same time were very attentive and engaging. Once the table was ready we were taken into the private room areas were they had more tables available. The different rooms were nice for different private/special events. They had TVs inside that were showing sports and are probably used for meetings. Our room was really cold inside. Once we were seated, it took a while for the server to get to us. They too were super busy on this White Linen, HRW Saturday night. And I'm used to the delays during HRW as this happens often, unfortunately. So by the time she came for our drink orders, we gave our full orders. She was very kind and worked as fast as she could. I ordered the Rock Shrimp for my appetizer, the beet salad for my 1st course, the Ora Salmon for my 2nd course, and the mini butter cake for my 3rd course. It did take a long time, well over 15-20 minutes, for the first course to come out. The salad came out before my shrimp. Which wasn't a problem but I did ask the server to make sure the shrimp was fresh when she went back to get it. She returned in 3 minutes and they were not hot & fresh. They actually tasted stale like it had been in freezer too long. The salad & salmon was good. The butter cake was good. I just wish it was hot and had more of a crisp to it. Overall it's a nice restaurant & I would try it again. It just might be better outside of Houston Restaurant Week.

    Why 3 stars? Because the food was decent enough, but the hidden upcharge is really shady. --- --- --- When I am eating a meal, I have a constant counter evolving in my head with the star rating that I plan to give. After the first couple bites of my burger, I was leaning toward 3-stars because there was some kind of funky taste from something. It kind of reminded me of a gamey cheese, which is my least favorite substance on Earth. But it subsided after the first 2-3 bites, so then the counter in my head ticked back up to 4-stars. And then I got the bill, and noticed a $13 charge for a bottle of Aqua Panna. Absurd. When I first sat down, I was simply asked if I wanted sparkling or still. I said still. Did that indicate that I wanted a $13 glass bottle of water, of which I was only given a portion of? This was a dinner I expensed for work, so this money doesn't even come out of my own pocket. But just on principle, I find this to be beyond outrageous. I'm glad I discovered this now because I planned on potentially coming here for a future birthday/anniversary type of special occasion, but this really rubbed me the wrong way and I will happily opt to spend those special occasion meals at other spots.

    Seed oil free steak house in the galleria area that does everything really high end. I came here for a family Christmas Eve dinner and appreciated how they upgraded us to a more private setting in a room to ourselves. They manager swung by and said how he made sure to do this since he saw on the reservation we asked for two high chairs for small children. It was a thoughtful addition to our visit here! The atmosphere is the upscale modern and clean you come to expect with new restaurants, and I thought the full 360 windows in the main dining room was cool. The service was nice, but I do wish they were a bit more present and a little more engaging. Our waitress did everything needed, but when you go to a steakhouse, I expect that little bit extra. Come check for drinks more often, water refills as soon as necessary, talk up menu items. The food itself was top notch for us. We are victim to the cleaner eating thought train and they proudly make that known as part of their experience here. Meatballs were incredible texture and had a nice spice to it. Crispy tallow fries and a Caesar salad that hits the right notes are a perfect pairing for any "Girl-dinner". Personally I loved how the steaks tasted, garlicky and crusty outside where the grill kissed it just right. Again my main reservation here is that it doesn't hit that over the top American steakhouse experience you might expect. My drink was kinda plain the veggies were good. But I think I was looking for something punchier on the menu too. We left really happy with our visit to King Steak, and I imagine we'll be back, because it was so pleasant and fits our expectations for food quality.

    We recently visited King Steak and had a mixed experience overall. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful--gorgeous decor and very aesthetically pleasing plating that really elevates the dining experience. The staff was attentive, and I want to specifically recognize Eric Aldis as a dedicated and standout team member. We also appreciated the focus on bold flavors and the use of time-honored cooking techniques, as well as the effort to avoid seed oils. The meal started strong with the bacon-wrapped scallops, which were truly spectacular and set a high expectation for the rest of the evening. That said, many of the menu items leaned heavily on jalapeño-based flavors. While enjoyable for those who love spice, it would be great to see more bold flavor options that don't center around jalapeño for those who prefer a less spicy profile. Unfortunately, the main entrées didn't quite meet expectations. The hamburger, ordered medium rare, arrived cold in the center--not even room temperature--and the cheese hadn't melted or incorporated into the sandwich. The fries were also not hot, making it difficult even to season them, as salt wouldn't stick. The short ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, which some may enjoy, but for me, the texture left something to be desired. On a positive note, we were celebrating a birthday, and the complimentary cake and birthday acknowledgment were fantastic and much appreciated. Overall, a beautiful restaurant with strong potential, excellent service, and a great start to the meal--but consistency in execution and a broader flavor profile would really take it to the next level.

    The best thing about King Steak is their staff. The owners, the hostesses, the servers all take the time to talk to you and treat you like friends. The next best things about King Steak is that they are seed-oil free, the location is easy to access and park, the ambience is romantic without being overboard, and the *FOOD* is perfect every single time. I dream of their short rib, the beef tallow French fries are the best in the city, and the cookie for dessert is sublime. We've been multiple times and will continue to go. Do yourself a favor and go to King Steak.

    Came here for Houston Restaurant Weeks 2025. A great way to try several dishes. Between the two of us, we were able to try/share 8 dishes! For apps, we got the rock shrimp and guacamole/bacon. Probably the best guac I've had - nice and chunky! We tried both the traditional and beet salads, both light and delicious. For entrees, we got the filet and short rib. The short rib was the winner here - super tender, fall apart. And to end the meal, we got the butter cake and half baked cookie - OH MY!! What a way to finish off an amazing meal. Both were winners! The service was lovely and not intrusive. The place itself is stunning, with comfy booths and a nice bar in the middle of the room. They have private rooms available which look so inviting! King Steak will thrive in this location and we can't wait to come back!

    Y'all, where has this been!!! The steak is above par in all fields and just is so flavorful! Service it great, wine list excellent.... Not sure what you're waiting for!

    Beautiful steakhouse in front of the BBVA Compass Plaza building. Firstly, the service and staff were so extremely accommodating. We requested a larger table for a table of 6 and they immediately moved us to a larger, private area. Customer service is so important to make a place memorable- so thank you King Steak staff (Eric and Justin). The food was fantastic. I'm a huge fan of spinach artichoke dip and I would say their spinach artichoke dip is now my favorite in Houston. Meatball appetizer were huge- very shareable. I got the short rib- it was tender, flavorful. They also cooked the filet to perfection- perfect medium rare and seasoned just right. Do not skip their dessert! I would definitely add this place to my regular rotation.

    Beef tenderloin, honey ham

    Enjoyed my first Mother's Day Brunch at King Steak! They had a 3 course brunch special for $75 per adult, served family style. To start, we enjoyed French toast, lemon ricotta pancakes and avocado toast. The main course (pictured) included salmon piccata, beef tenderloin & honey baked ham with jalapeño hashbrowns on the side. Everything was delicious & came out hot, our server placed another order for our main entrees so we could pack it up to go (included in the brunch special for no additional charge) -- we finished everything off with an oversized chocolate chip cookie topped with vanilla ice cream. We left stuffed & satisfied!

    Short Rib - so tender and good!

    Great place! Staff is so friendly and attentive! Food was delicious. (The crispy brussels sprouts are AMAZING!) Lovely place for a date night or to drop in and eat at the bar.

    Chose king steak for our weekday happy hour. We arrived right after opening on Wednesday, the bartender seemed to still be setting up. Our small group of 3 were the only ones in the establishment for a while, the bartender was not even a little friendly and even made me feel uncomfortable. First he seemed surprised when we arrived, almost as if he was taken back by guests arriving within 10-15 minutes of opening (despite it being business hours). It was my first time there and I wanted to see the drink menu, well he rushed me by asking 3 different times what I wanted in the span of 3 minutes. He was very standoffish and didn't make any small talk with us whatsoever, he took our food order and when I suggested that steak bites would be a great addition to their HH food menu, he laughed and responded "well if you want steak, you should just order a steak". Again, we were only there for happy hour and we ordered appetizers to share, no one ordered an entree. The ambience was already off but the bartender's response just made it awkward. I hurried and finished my drink and got out of there as soon as I could. The food was good but due to my experience I am in no rush to return. There are many restaurants and fine dining establishments in the area to choose from where good service is included.

The Palladium is located on a one-way freeway frontage road, so you can't make a U-turn to get there if you pass it up. But it's not one to avoid. The Palladium is not a franchise of a nationwide company named after Arthur Murray or Fred Astaire. It's a local concern, and doesn't offer as much as the other two studios I listed. I've gone to their Latin events, and here's what it looks like: They have in-house instructors, and also bring in people from outside Houston. (I wrote about California's Kathy Reyes in two prior reviews, I hope she's reading this and makes the trip to Houston some time!) They have classes, and they have dance parties. Both are run well, charging market rates. Lots of parking. One medium-sized dance floor, two smaller studios. The bar sells drinks, both alky and non-alky. Restrooms are deep in the bowels of the building, down the hall to the left. The people who come are a good company, and are fixinta learn to dance better and to have fun. The social dance community of Houston is smaller than in other cities, so there's much overlap from one instructor to another, and it's likely that you'll meet someone there who you danced with somewhere else. I haven't met any snobs yet, but you can't assume that they won't be there. I first went to the Palladium for New Years Eve. I've been several times since then. The experience was similar to others I've been to in other cities. I've had a good time, and never drove home thinking "well, that was a waste of a hundred mile drive one-way." Beaumont simply has nothing like The Palladium, likely because few people in the Coonie Triangle are interested in ballroom or Latin dancing. I encourage you to find a class or party and stop on by.
