    Bear Cub Cab

    Review #800! Milestone review of a milestone birthday dinner. How fitting! When I think of a speakeasy, I think of a hidden bar, not a hidden restaurant. I was in search of an upscale restaurant to celebrate my birthday and I chose Patton's. I made a reservation a month in advance. They have complimentary valet or street parking. When you arrive, check in at the Savoir host stand and the staff will walk you through the entrance. The ambiance is very dark, intimate, and romantic. Our servers for the evening were Jules and Jared. They were both so nice and super attentive! The drinks were flowing! I started with the Bandito. It's a tequila based cocktail and it was good. My friends started with the Double Barrel cocktail which had a nice presentation. During dinner, we had a bottle of the Bear Cub Cabernet. It complimented the steak so well and I really enjoyed it! After dinner, Jared brought out complimentary glasses of champagne! At dessert, I ordered a Carajillo which is has become one of my favorite dessert cocktails. It's was very good! For our appetizer, we started with the Crab Cakes. It came with two and they were delicious and very flavorful! We all ordered steak for our entrée. I had the Petite Filet (cooked medium) with Black Garlic Butter ($5 extra). I tried to order it medium plus, but Jules explained that they don't offer that temp because it's difficult to achieve the midpoint between medium and medium well. The Black Garlic Butter was so good and they gave a generous amount (I didn't even use all of it on my steak). The steak was seasoned well and was very tender. One of my friends ordered the Petite Filet with bearnaise sauce and enjoyed it. My only complaint is that the steak and butter looked sort of small and boring on the plate. I would suggest using smaller plates so that there is less white space, or maybe adding a small garnish on the plate to elevate the presentation. We ordered just about every side dish on the menu. We had Creamed Spinach, Broccolini, Parmesan Fries, Lobster Mac and Cheese, and Mashed Potatoes! I tried every side except for the Lobster Mac. All of the sides were delicious! For dessert, I had the Cronuts. It was one of the best desserts I've had in a long time! The flakiness from the croissant and the Nutella and banana cream filling were divine! My friends had the Crème Brûlée and enjoyed it. Every course we had was so good. I didn't even have any leftovers which is unusual for me! I have been telling my friends about this place because I want to go back! They are participating in HRW this year, so it would be a great opportunity to return! They have live music on Tuesday nights. I believe there was a piano player on the night that we went. The volume was fine and we were able to converse normally. Patton's is great for a date night or a special occasion. My squad treated me to an amazing dinner and it was the perfect way to celebrate another year of life!

    My friend and I went to Patton's Steakhouse for a girls night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. In true speakeasy fashion, we were lead to the area by our hostess passing through the bar area and into an unsuspecting door. She the steakhouse has a very cozy though upscale feel especially the booth seating area. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and attentive throughout our dinner which we appreciated. To start I ordered the Italian in Maui as my cocktail. It was refreshing and light, a spin on an aperol spritz. We also ordered the bread service which I would absolutely rave about! I actually didn't read the description because my friend has ordered and it was such a surprise when it arrived at the table. It's cream corned focaccia bread (sooo soft and fluffy) topped with a garlic spread, green onions and pepper flakes. It was insanely delicious and packed with so many flavors. Starting with this is a must. For my main entree I ordered the scallops which were cooked perfectly. Buttery and rich in flavor. The plating was also very pretty and had pomegranates and other herbs (I think I tasted pistachios too but not sure). The pairing was lovely. As sides we had the risotto which I didn't exactly love the flavor profile, almost tasted smoky which I was a little surprised by. Lastly for dessert we had the fig creme brûlée which was also very yummy! The custard was smooth with the perfect amount of sweetness. Definitely a steakhouse worth checking out especially when wanting to try something other than the usually ones in Houston!

    I was looking for a unique experience for a friend's birthday and stumbled upon Patton's Steakhouse. It's a speakeasy so I was immediately sold. Made the reservation for Wed at 7:30pm (those close at 9pm) via Open Table. When we got there, we were told valet was complimentary, but they accept tips. We then walked in to Savior and were taken through the wine cellar to get to Patton's. I mean, it really was exactly what I pictured and the experience was superb. Our waiter came over and provided us with the restaurant weeks menu ($55 for a three course dinner). I mean, you can't beat paying $55 for a steak that normally costs $65-$100 by itself. We picked our food options (I did the crab cake for an extra $10), the catch of the day and the chocolate cake for dessert. For my drink, I got a lemon drop. He got the Caesar salad, steak (which he is still raving about) and I forgot his dessert but it was banana something. He also loved his old fashion. Then to top it off, there was an amazing jazz singer who sang happy birthday to him so overall it was a great time. Service was great too.

    First I like to say this was a cool environment. The drinks were good. Now when it comes to the entree, which I got a filet (my usual) I was not impressed with the toughness. It was also over cooked. I ordered a medium and tasted very well done. The service was good, it was a nice outing but for a steak not my top pick.

    The concept of a "speakeasy steakhouse" is killer and that alone is a reason to appreciate Patton's, which is located directly inside Savoir. For folks looking to experience the same thing is simple: make a reservation and have someone from the Savoir team walk you through a dark, dimly lit space to reveal a quiet, speakeasy vibe. No question, this is a date worthy / special occasion type of a spot. There are a handful of tables, ideal for couples and all with white table cloth. The lighting is sparse, which makes food picture taking a little harder than most. The table side tap lamp is fun, but that's about the best lighting one will have. On a food front, I've been pleased with the offerings. I think their tuna tartare was delightful and the beef carpaccio was lovely. I do think their mashed potato side was excellent with the black truffle and parmesan, but I would consider passing on the rest. The steaks themselves, particularly the ribeyes and the wagyu were cooked just right. Each bite was juicy and I didn't even bother with the sauces. The service was above and beyond. Everyone was extremely professional and very courteous throughout my meals here. While it's not in the upper echelon of steakhouses in the loop, it is still the kind of place that everyone should experience at least once.

    It's Houston Restaurant Week and it's a perfect time to try out new restaurants you've never been to. Saw Patton's steakhouse HRW menu that pique my curiosity. Getting to Patton steakhouse can be a bit confusing for first timers like myself. When we arrived, we were at the parking lot for Savoire.. They share the same front door and there's no indication of Payton steakhouse unless you ask the hostess. You walk behind the bar to go into Patton's. Thought that was pretty cool and unique. As others have said, it is a "speakeasy steakhouse". First ever one I've been to. It's dark and we got a booth. We got our drinks and ordered from the HRW menu. We started writ the Caesar salad and beef tartar. We didn't realized the lettuce was going to be grilled and comes whole. It was different in a good way. Beef tartare was nice with capers and toasted slice bread. The bread was a bit overpowering and could not taste the beef tartare. Would recommend eating bread and beef tartare separate otherwise you may not taste the beef. It was delicious now that I figured out how to eat it. For our entrees, we got the petite fiilet and NY strip. The fillet was super tender and cooked as ordered. New York strip was delicious as well. We had the creamed corn and truffle mashed potatoes. Both were creamy (pun intended) and great pairings to our steaks. We ended the night with crème brûlée and chocolate cake. The chocolate cake was huge! Good for sharing. Crème brûlée was sweet and yummy. A little on the runny side as other indicated but taste wise, perfect ending to our dinner. Patton's is a place worth visiting. Steak was decent but probably can find better steaks in other places. The ambiance more than offsets it. Highly recommend visiting esp during HRW! P.S. Valet parking is complementary. Just need to tip.

    We chose this restaurant for a birthday dinner and I'm extremely happy that we decided to eat here. I love the speakeasy vibe. We parked on the street but there's also valet parking. You walk into Savior, mention you have reservations for Patton's and you are escorted by the hostess behind the bar, through the wine cooler and there's a romantically lit, intimate, space with dark contemporary furniture. There was a tea light at our table and we were promptly poured cold water into our glasses. On the reservation it was mentioned it was a special occasion and we were served some champagne which was so gracious. Our server was extremely polite, knowledgeable and wonderful. She explained their specials and explained that there was a crab mac and cheese offered and we promptly added that to our order. I opted for the Rum Drink, it was delicious. It was sweet but well balanced and a little tart. We ordered crab cakes to start. I got a wedge salad with tomato vinaigrette and NY strip - med rare with broccolini. The crab cake was delicious it is served with two and a frisée salad and a light dressing. My steak was perfectly cooked, there was a slight char but it was fresh off of the grill. The broccolini and crab mac and cheese accompanied it well. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, not too runny or overwhelming. We also opted for a chocolate cake for dessert and they were sweet enough to transcribe "Happy Birthday" in chocolate sauce with a lit candle when it was brought to the table. It was one of the best chocolate cakes I've had, it was moist, not too sweet. The chocolate sauce tasted like melted chocolate ice cream. Overall I'd return, food and drink were delicious and service was impeccable.

    This restaurant is located in the same building as savoir. I booked our reservations a few days in advance and they require a credit card to hold your table. Our reservation was at 7:00pm, and the restaurant was almost empty. When you get there they take you behind the bar to a secret, beautiful and intimate restaurant/speakeasy. We ordered a berry nutty cocktail that was neither good or bad. Just an interesting blend of flavors. We then ordered the crab cake that was delicious. There was a lot of crab and not too much filler. The flavors blended perfectly! We ordered the prime dry aged rib eye, and the catch of the day (salmon) and the mashed potatoes. The rib eye was good, but we've had much better. I was disappointed that the only fish was salmon. It just seems so plain and you can easily find this at any regular restaurant. The mash potatoes were creamy, buttery and delicious. We ended our meal with creme brûlée. The flavors were rich and creamy; however the custard wasn't set and it was too much on the liquid side rather than a set custard.

    Ask the Community - Patton's Steakhouse

    Is Patton's kid friendly?

    Personally I wouldn't bring kids in the speakeasy. It's more of a grown up experience.

    What's the difference between bungalow and dining room on the reservations page?

    The bungalows are specific to the bar area. See you all soon!

    What is the suggested attire?

    I would suggest at least Business casual.

I was really excited to see how this place made drinks and they wouldn't even service me and my friend...she just was checking her social media.

Love the concept and the door behind the bookshelf. However, just tell us what to do and step out the way. They stand right on top of you and it ruins the pictures/videos. We get inside and the vibe is great. Low lit and nice ambiance and decor. We go to the back and get seated. It was kind of awkward seating for four but it got the job done. Cool view out of the single window to the city below. Let's get to the drinks and service. Apparently, it was a newer menu and many of the drinks we were told about were no longer listed. The server was very strange and off-putting. She didn't do the best job describing the drinks at all and kept calling us "my babies". Four full grown adults being referred to as "babies" by a woman our age or younger was just weird and she did it a lot too. No one liked it. The drink I got was extremely overpriced and came in a tea cup- not my cup of tea. My friend asked for something creative using tequila and pineapple- she said "sure, we can make that. Do you prefer 1942 or clase azul?" I stepped in. I know you have more tequilas than your two most expensive options. Of course they did and she gave him more realistic options to mix with. Had I not stepped in, she would have taken advantage of him. None of us were impressed by the drinks, the prices or the service. None of the fun and fancy drinks were shown to us nor seen throughout the bar or other tables. No smoke, no big bubbles being popped, no treasure chest with a drink in lol This was an expensive let down. We do a ton of high end and expensive dinners and bars. This did not live up to the hype or price point. Extremely overrated and the strange service left a bad impression on all of us.

If you're in Houston and looking for a cute girls night out, unique date night, or a speakeasy experience, add this to your bucket list immediately.

Guided Tasting: 3 courses of drinks and chocolates 3. The Journey: 5 courses of drinks, chocolates, and other bites. Come hungry! You're encouraged to book a reservation through their website. But since we went on Wednesday for the ladies night, we were able to just go right in. I'm doing chemo so I can't drink or have the alcohol infused chocolate but I still had a great time. Sober folks can also enjoy this place. I got a cherry mocktail and it was the best mocktail I ever drank. They had two chocolate bon bons that weren't infused with alcohol and then all of the flat medallions are also not infused.

You can even see the owner there working and contributing to the vibes. Their cocktails are about $16 so very standard pricing and the chocolates come with a drink. The drinks were tasty, even the Old Fashioned (probably the best one I've ever had). Plus they close even later than described with "no official close time". As our server described, "they close when the vibes die off ... typically around 1AM". So I'll definitely be back and you should definitely check them out. It's also close by to Houston high society, neighbors, and eighth row flint which are all amazing bars with perks of their own so it would be great for even a bar hopping date night.

    After hearing non stop great things about Credence from friends and on social media, we finally…read morewent for dinner the other night to celebrate my birthday with some friends. The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s'mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal. Food was delicious but veeeery indulgent. We will be back.

We were greeted by three different people - one that took our drink order, one that cleared our plates, and one that took our order. All were very nice people and gave excellent service! I forgot their names unfortunately. My receipt said Zachary but not sure which waiter that was. Between me and hubs, we had a Pan de campo, an order of Gulf Oysters "casino", (4) dressed oysters, a 16 oz dry aged ribeye, a snapper entree and a side of crab fried rice. We finished almost everything except a quarter of the Pan, about a quarter of the rice, and about a third of the ribeye. All were great dishes and would definitely order again. We skipped dessert because honestly none stood out to us. He said their popular dessert is the souffle but they were sold out. Our total before gratuity was about $250 and that included one cocktail. Hubs had their "classic" old fashioned which he said was excellent! Overall, highly recommended if you don't mind the splurge or for a special occasion!

We were definitely older than 99.9% of everyone else in attendance but we stayed long enough for a yummy drink and couple of dances. This listening bar speakeasy is unique & artistic. Good vibes all around.

    RE: This place is racist…read more Places like this are exactly why I have become ultra selective about partying in Houston. Its no longer enough to just go listen to a good DJ and buy drinks from the bar. These greedy club owners all want everything to be bottle service just to give you a sub par experience. I came here with 7 white people, I was the only black person in our group. We walked straight in no line and immediatly went to the bar where someone in the group ordered a round of drinks and someone else ordered a round of shots. We enjoyed the music a bit and someone else orders another round of drinks. My point is, we were spending money in this place. At some point someone figures out that the upstairs, which is sometimes roped off for private events was open and there was no one up there and the bar was open. Being a group of 8 we migrated there for more space and settled into one of the lounge areas with a coffee table and sofas. There was no bouncer standing at the stairs, no rope, nothing. We just walked straight in. Up here we ordered another round of drinks and another round of shots in 30 minutes. By this time other patrons noticed us move to this area so people from downstairs were now filing in and some had sat at the other lounge area adjacent to us (all black people). We were enjoying the music and drinks when a bouncer comes up and tells someone in my party that if we wanted to sit there we had to buy a bottle for $1000 or said we would have to leave the lounge area. Now since when does a standard bottle of liquor for a section cost $1000 in Houston?! This is not Miami, who do you think you're talking to? Moreover, why was our group singled out and asked to purchase a bottke but the other lounge area with all black patrons were left alone? I straight up asksed the bouncer if he was asking the other area to buy a $1000 bottle and he just shrugged his shoulders and said "I dont make the rules" whatever that means. To make matters worse one of my friends was actually about to buy a bottle until I stepped in. I was tipsy but not so tipsy that I would let my friend be strongarmed by there unfair business practices. Literally the collective amount of drinks in everyones hands upstairs didnt add up to $1000 but you want to single us out for one $1000 bottle? I'll never step foot in this place again and will be looking into filing a formal compaint with the appropraite governing body about what took place.

We went to the upstairs area which was dimly lit and played 80s/90s hip hop. We tried few drinks. Lion's mane tail, brown butter washed whisky, mushroom (which I found so unique). It was quite strong and was nice to switch up from the usual old fashions we try. Second drink was sharp turn. It was super fresh and crisp. Clear as water but I definitely felt it. Service was really good here too. I like that the bartenders all create their signature seasonal drinks so they genuinely are so well versed when describing the drink menu.

I thought that the catch 22 ( mocktail) would be too sweet or vinegar forward but it was tangy and light. My husband actually said he liked my mocktail more than he liked his cocktail which was good but a bit sweeter than he likes. The second mocktail I ordered was off the menu. I asked for something tropical and not too sweet. It was pretty good but not as complex as the catch 22. My husband liked the jaded merchant better than the dew drop. He also was sipping far too much of my mocktail which speaks volumes about how good it was. Love the moody vibes, drinks, and service. I've only visited three times but should make it one of the places we come to more often.
