Patton's - Houston, Texas

DO NOT RECOMMEND!
I had a highly disappointing experience at Patton Steakhouse. We had reservations for 8:45 PM, but our table wasn't ready when we arrived. We ended up sitting at the bar, where the bartender took our drink orders. About 15 minutes later, our table in the bungalow section was finally ready. It then took another 15 minutes for our waiter to take our entire dinner order as no one came to our table and multiple servers walked by us.

The first appetizer, the chicken liver mousse, was completely overpowered by dill. The bone marrow was delicious. They ran out of tomahawk steaks so we both ordered the ribeyes. The steaks were charred for medium rare with visible burnt flakes, and the chimichurri sauce was frankly disgusting—far too watery. We also ordered the under seasoned risotto, duchess potatoes, which were overpowered by rosemary, and finally, the roasted mushrooms, which they initially forgot. When we got our bill, we were charged for asparagus, which we hadn't ordered and had to request be removed.

To make matters worse, we noted on our reservation the we were celebrating our anniversary, and this was never acknowledged. It was clear they don't prioritize the bungalow section over main dining area. Having spent the whole day celebrating our anniversary and arriving at the restaurant starving, this underwhelming experience was particularly frustrating from lack of service to the disgusting food. I wouldn't recommend Patton Steakhouse to anyone. You'd be much better off dining at Mastro's & Steak 48 or even Salt Grass. Trust me. No parking so you have to use the complementary valet.

Patton's is on a different level when thinking about fine dinning in Houston. If you want to impress your date this is the place. It's a restaurant tucked inside another restaurant. You get a true VIP experience. And the food is phenomenal.

My wife and I celebrated our 20th anniversary at Patton’s. Best experience we could have asked for. The entire staff exceeded our expectations with everything from the service to the food. They made sure to make our 20th anniversary dinner a night we will always remember.

Walking from one restaurant to a totally different atmosphere in another restaurant in the back was a neat experience. Had a great strawberries and cream mocktail to start and it was very refreshing. The oysters were served like I’ve never seen, in a metal oyster. Weren’t the best oysters Rockefeller, but still tasty. Crab Mac n cheese, broccoli florets were good. The filet minon rare was one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. Lamb was also very good. Service and ambiance was 8/10. Overall a great experience.

My wife and I came here for our ninth anniversary. It was absolutely the best meal we’ve ever had. Matthew was a fantastic server/bartender. The cocktails he made, and the friendly conversation was exactly what it needed to be. The steak was out of this world as well as the crabcake and the cheesecake afterwards. 10 out of 10 would recommend… PS get the Caesar salad for an appetizer as well.

This is a find for those looking for something different, upscale with a splash of wow. It's a speak easy hidden inside the Savoir restaurant. We tried the date night special for 150+ drinks. It's absolutely worth it. I read that some were put off by the 150 minimum, which...come on its small seating area within another restaurant... they need some way to guard against people camping in there and listening to live jazz for the price of a soda. The service was virtually clairvoyant in bringing what you wanted, often as it occurred to you. The food was on par with any decent steak house. If..when you go... you have to order the smoked old fashioned.. The presentation is quite a thing. They bring it out in a chest that holds the smoke and lift it out of the box onto your table. It's a special place, everything is done well and you'll take back an experience you'll remember long after.

From Memphis, we visited this restaurant to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. The culinary experience, service, and ambiance were exceptional. The live music was particularly impressive, with the band even dedicating a performance to the birthday guests.

While the signature drink, The PornStar, was unavailable, the overall dining experience was highly satisfactory. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment. Should our paths cross again in Houston, we will undoubtedly return.

The environment really impressed my date! The steak was cooked to perfection. Parking is small, however valet and you should be ok. This truly a hidden gem.
