Dining

Brenner's
Tip: Be sure to try Mrs Brenner's apple strudel. A tradition since 1936, Brenner's is the oldest and one of the best steakhouses in Houston.
El Tiempo
Tip: Happy hour at the bar, Monday-Friday from 3pm until 7pm. No visit to Houston would be complete without experiencing authentic Tex-Mex food. If you're craving Mexican and a good Margarita, El Tiempo is your place.
Fogo de Chao
Tip: A favorite destination for meat-lovers. Be sure to go with an empty stomach. The interior is characterized by earth tones and textures. There is a large salad bar that resembles a grand kitchen table. Open for lunch and dinner.
Hugo's
Tip: Forget the tequila & lime; there is an extensive wine list. Located in the heart of Montrose, Hugo's is housed in a 1925 structure built by the well-known Houston architect, Joseph Finger. Hugo's was one of the first restaurants to team Mexican di
America's
Tip: Enjoy a live band performance while you dine on Friday nights. This is an upscale themed-restaurant with a rainforest motif. The architect and interior designer have borrowed elements from Inca culture. Open for lunch and dinner.
Aquarium
Tip: Guests are seated around a 150,000-gallon fish tank filled with stingrays, sawfish and other amazing sea creatures. This restaurant is located in downtown Houston. It is centered round a beautiful theme park where guests can bring their family for
Ra Sushi
Tip: There is a live DJ on Friday and Saturday nights. Enjoy the famous Tsunami Punch at the bar. This sushi restaurant is a great place to kick back with a bunch of friends and be a part of Houston's night-life scene. The setting is a loft-like space
Mark's Restaurant
Tip: If you enjoy a quiet setting, ask to be seated on the second level. This is a trendy modern restaurant in a former church in the Montrose area of Houston. It is open for lunch and dinner.
Mi Luna
Tip: On certain nights, there is live music and flamenco dancing. Contemporary tapas bar located in the Rice Village shopping district. Great for lunch or a light dinner.
Tony's

Gold hotel but not extraordinary

it is a good, luxury hotel but the staff is not very well trained. On check in they wanted to give me an inferior room and I had to talk to the manager. On check out they tried to charge me the full amount, disregarding the fact that it was prepaid. A lot of problems to rent a small conference room. Apart from this, a good hotel.

Better for business travel

Quiet. Rooms were small and room service seemed limited as compared to my previous stays. Maybe its just better for business travel. But close enought to the Galleria for easy shopping.

Enjoyable

I will have to admit that I really did enjoy my stay. The room was immaculate and large enough for just me. I can't complain as it was very comfortable. Being a 4 star hotel, I expected that the restaurant would be somewhat pricey, but the food was very good. Also, don't be fooled into thinking the contents of the mini-bar are complimentary. They are not, but it is nice to know that you have refreshments available for your convenience if you feel the need. My stay was for two days and although being in and out the first day, I was in the room for most of the second day. I had a very comfortable stay, but my only real complaint is the price of parking. I thought it was a little high.

Weekend Relax

Nice hotel.But I can not tell what is the difference between Standard room & King Superior room. They look the same to me. Other than that, the hotel is real nice and close to shopping & Dinning district.
