Houston Restaurant Week.

Here are some pros and cons from the places we enjoyed during Restaurant Week. While the food has been great, I have definitely gained a few pounds!

Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse

Pros:

• Mac and Cheese (my heavens, this stuff is pure gold)
• Mushrooms
• Tasty steak (of course)
• Phenomenal croissant bread pudding (no raisins, delicious caramel bourbon sauce)

Cons:

• We had reservations, but we still waited over 45 minutes for our table. In full disclosure, we requested a specific server, but still . . .
• Feeling extremely full after over-indulging.
  

V&A was the first place we tried out and it has been my favorite place, hands down.

Gravitas

We didn't eat off of the RW menu at Gravitas. We are rebels, I know.

Pros:

• Great scallops
• Good bread pudding with a nice caramelized crust on top
  

Cons:

• Took forever to get drinks
• Food was decent, but nothing spectacular
  
• Super loud inside (this is nothing new there)
  

*17

Pros:

• Eating with Meagan and Jeremy
• The decor was great:
  

Cons:

• None of the food was worth mentioning in the pros
  

Del Frisco's

Pros:

• Great dinner salad with avocado dressing (and hunks of avocado) and bacon
  
• Delicious steaks
  

Cons:

• Mediocre bread pudding
• Valet parking took forever
  

Our waiter at Del Frisco's told us that they (and some other restaurants) were extending RW for another week. I don't know if my pants can take another week -- they are already tighter!
