We had a wonderful experience! The staff was very professional, and the atmosphere was excellent. I don't recall the manager's name, but he was tall, very welcoming, professional, and kind. I noticed how involved he was throughout the eveni

The hostesses were extremely rude, disrespectful, and made the experience feel demeaning and racially insensitive.
Service declined really quickly.
Within the last 2-3 months, I've walked in, and ordered food to go. Tonight, I called to order food for pickup, and they said they don't do that anymore. Weird and disappointing!

Went to this restaurant on Sunday with my elderly parents for a little family treat. My father is hard of hearing and the sweetest man you could ever wish to have the pleasure of knowing. We were seated and I was showing him a little video of his g

Our server was incredibly warm and made us feel very comfortable. I ordered the salmon with sauce I didn't enjoy, and the waitress was gracious enough to make another one though the second salmon was unfortunately underdone in the middle, did wa
Food was great as always.
They were running behind and we arrived early for our reservation so we waited a while. All of the staff we interacted with was very accommodating and kept apologizing for the wait. I know they can't control how long other diners linger so the w
I was extremely disappointed with our visit.
We were asked to leave because we had been there 2 hours and others were waiting for our table. The way it was handled was what was disappointing. Literally someone walked up to our table in mid-conversation and said, "we're going to need

Always a great choice! The French dip is my favorite! Great atmosphere and ambience!
0 stars! Leslie was beyond rude.
We called in advance for a party of 6, someone said we could walk in and show up. Turns out they do not accept parties over 5 at all. Ok, cool. I told them we can do 2 separate parties. Apparently it was a 90min - 2 hour wait. Decided to leave but I
Fantastic service.
Great ambiance dark and romantic. The food was good. Everyone at my table was pleased.
The food was amazing and our server Sophie was the best.
Super attentive and extremely professional. I came here with one other person and I think we over ordered as usual. The food was so good and my new favorite is the French dip with a side of horseradish. You can now make a reservation which makes it s
Excellent service, even got hot steamed hand towels.
Highly recommend the steamed broccoli with reggiano. I didn't particularly like the pan Asian salad, it was spicy the menu doesn't mention red pepper flakes. The staff allowed me to get something else. This place is always packed...even at
Excellent main course salad
Enjoyed a yummy and refreshing Kale peanut salad with rotisserie chicken. Herbs were mixed in with the letture. Huge portion, got to take some home that became my lunch the next day.
Poor if you are handjcap
Handicap access on completely Opposite side of handicap parking. I will never go back. I have been multiple times in the past, food was good, thought we could try it, but nope
Very disappointed
I am deeply disappointed with a recent experience at Houston's Irvine. A loyal customer, who is a mother of a child with disabilities, was treated with utter disrespect. Her child was making some noise, and rather than showing understanding and
Not family friendly
This place is not family friendly. My family and I went for lunch and my 9 month old daughter was with us, we were indirectly asked to leave because they received a noise complaint from another customer.
the original houston’s in texas would be so sad to see this. known for their southern hospitality houston’s has changed

The Changing Attitude at Houston's Irvine
We took a neighbor with us to Houston's Irvine last evening. We ordered a vegetable roll we all shared. We ordered 3 Traditional Salads to begin the meal. Two with Buttermilk Garlick and one with Thousand Island. They brought only two with Bu
The absolute best service I've ever had in my entire life.
Our waiter Adam Shepard was resplendid and helped create such a memorable evening for my boys celebrating them getting straight A's tonight. What a wonderful barbecue ribs and steak we had, thank you, Adam and all the staff of Houston's for making th

My wife and I decided to head to Orange County for the day and planned our trip around lunch at Houston's. Like always, we both ordered the Prime Rib Dip. I have been here and ordered the same sandwich many times but this may have been the best one
If I could give this business zero stars, I would.
My friend and I have frequently visited Houston's over the years. Until recently, the food and service was excellent. Recently, my friend has needed to eat outdoors due to her chemotherapy treatments. Not only does Houstons have table and chairs dire

This used to be my go to spot however the food is not the same. I ordered a cheeseburger and it was mostly bread and lettuce with a thin layer of beef. My wife's steak was tiny but 2 years ago they were larger. Our drinks were also watered down. I lo
If zero star was an option I would definitely give it.
I was having a drink at the bar waiting for my brother and his daughter to show up for dinner one early evening. As I was cashing out to wrap up my tab, the hostess came up to me stating that there is a party of 2 waiting for my seat, implying that I

The Hawaiian dish tasted really good, but the appetizer (I ordered the house smoked salmon) was just normal. This is actually acceptable for me as I assume this is more like a place to have great service and a nice environment than to have great foo

Hadn't been to Houston's restaurant in quite a while.
I must admit it was as good as I remember. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant was timeless and inviting. I started with the amazing spinach and artichoke dip. Soooo good!! The French dip sandwich was outstanding and one of the best in town. My
Complaint
I visited this location in Irvine and asked if they accommodate a party of 6 and was told they can’t seat us. Then I asked if we could provide us at two different tables. The host stated she had to talk to the manager. I told her to we’ll take on

Food is regular but comes with a higher price.
Can keep the price, but the flavor needs to improve, I mean it was nothing extraordinary. Service, is good, but the dressing code made me remove my cap, what is really unnecessary for that kind of restaurant.
Discriminated against with children
We had the WORST experience with our family. Sadly my very favorite restaurant in the world just became my least favorite. I came in with my dad (who had just flown in from Portland) and my 2.5 and 9 month old. We came at 3:30pm on a Tuesday because

I sat at bar and made it very clear I was ordering food to go. At no time was I told until I ordered an hour later, that certain items were not available to go? I ordered the ribs that comes with fries and slaw but I was forced to sub fries for beans

Always a good meal but you must make a reservation and don't be late. Their prime rib sandwich is off the chart! I don't even eat bread and eat this bad boy. Service is over the top. Great afternoon or date place To just feel like what 2024 eating ou
Food was excellent.
The 4 of us had cocktails, wine, salads, entrees, desserts and coffee. We were enjoying the food and talking with our friends. At 2.5 hours, Ben the manager said they needed our table and asked us to leave. First time that ever happened to us or our

The French dip and bbq ribs are AWESOME! Hands down the best!! Service and ambience were also spot on. Definitely coming back!
The only reason I need to add a review for Houston's to all
The only reason I need to add a review for Houston's to all the ones they already have is maybe to assure people that it's still the same consistent, good food and service. My husband wanted to take me there for an early Mother's Day dinner on Friday

The service manager (white shirt) had the audacity to come to my table after spending $300 + on dinner to tell me to get off my phone. I believe his name stars with the letter N. I highly recommend you train your staff to be more accommodating toward

As usual the food is great and our favorably back ribs, the service is fantastic and servers are very polite and attentive.
First time in the other night our server was amazing.
We even ran into our old pal from another restaurant! Dallas is amazing excellent service.
Our go-to whenever we want a great meal.
Regulars for 20+ years. Every item on the menu is great but the thin-sliced prime rib French dip sandwich is exceptional and is consistently perfect!
Another favorite of mine!! I think Houston's has the best
Another favorite of mine!! I think Houston's has the best menu offering out of all the Hillstone restaurants. I love the vibe, the food and the service is always great. I love their sushi, soup, the grilled cheese bread is amazing!! $25 corkage fee
We had a very enjoyable meal.
Warnings though, we got there at 4:20 and there was still a wait. Not long but got really crowded. Service was FAST, friendly and attentive. We 're two "mature couples" and have no need to rush. Our server understood this and reassured us

Not as good as other locations in the same family such as Cherry Creek grill, Red Rocks grill, Hillstone or the Houston's in Scottsdale. The menu combinations are mediocre at best and the hostess was a bit snooty for a 4pm walk in lunch and was adama
One of my fav places.
Amazing food and service! Love the atmosphere and dark lighting.
Connect with users posting reservations for Houston's Irvine
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Houston's Irvine. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Houston's Irvine at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Houston's Irvine page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Houston's Irvine to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Houston's Irvine!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
