Isn't Perry's in La Centerra closing? I heard rent got too high and they were planning on shutting down.

That would be a shame for Porkchop Friday lunch

Is Da Vinci still good? That place was great. It's an Italian place, but fine dining and last time I went, I loved it.

I like it. I think the three best Italian joints in Katy are Da Vinci, Palinuro and Pane E Vino.

Where did you hear that? I get that the real estate there is expensive, but dang if they are not packed every time I eat there (typically for that Friday pork chop).

We went to Da Vinci once and the waiter had to read the entire menu to us. Do they always do that? It took forever.

Pane E Vino is my favorite. Always a good meal and I like the atmosphere.

No, they don't. They will, but if you don't want/need them to do that, they won't. Agree it is kinda annoying. Typically I look at it and might question a couple things. But you can't escape them reading it to someone else since the place is so tiny.

Nothing concrete, just friends discussing. Admittedly, that was a little while back and they are still open so maybe just a rumor.

There is the new Itallian place (Little Itally) that is legit. It's over in the strip on 10 infront of the Specs, Goodwill, and Bike Shop.

If you guys haven't tried the steak entres at Lozzano's (Mexican food), it's a plus item... the marks aren't good though.

Brett's Steak is good.

Just drive 15-20 minutes east for Capital Grille, Eddie V's, Fleming's, Taste of Texas, or Jonathan's The Rub. It'd be worth the time and gas over anything in Katy.
That's what we ended up doing. Hit up ToT - haven't been in years. It was well above average, steak was cooked perfectly. Zero complaints.

Pearl and Vine is way overpriced for the food quality. Perry's steaks suck. Federal isn't bad but not great either for steak. Honestly don't have that many good steak places out here… Brett's BBQ does do steak nights behind Katy Mills. That might be worth checking out but I have never had one there.

I agree with either going to Town and Country and going to Taste of Texas or Flemings (i would prefer the former). Otherwise I would say go to River Oaks and go to my favorite places in the city, Georgia James.

I pretty much always default to the pork chop there, because you kinda have to. But to say their steaks suck is being a drama llama. We went for my daughter's birthday and both my daughters got a steak, and they were damn good. Oldest got a ribeye, youngest got a filet. I'd eat either option there anytime.

Another option if you head east into town is Brenner's near Wilcrest and i10. It's not quite Pappas Bros quality but better than Perry's and you don't have to deal with the cluster of trying to get in and out of City Centre
My old office was right across the street from there and I always meant to go and have a meal there but never did.

Not quite Katy. But, I went to Taste of Texas at Christmas. Had not been there in over a decade. I have to say for all of the crap we including myself have given it over the years, they do a great job. I have been to a bunch of high end awesome places. The ribeye I had at ToT was perfectly cooked. The sides were awesome and the service was top notch.

I've decided I'm no longer crapping on ToT.
I've never been on the crap on ToT bandwagon. I'm not sure what drives that opinion unless it's something to do with a perception that ToT is not as "elite" as a Ruth's Chris or Anthony's, etc. ToT is often where my wife and I have our anniversary meal, and occasionally we go at Christmas as well. My office is literally within walking distance, but while I haven't gone for lunch I did stop in a couple of years ago and bought gift cards when they do their buy $100 get $25 extra deal.
I think the crapping on ToT is for a few reasons:

1. It isn't seen as elite as Papas, V&A's, etc. so obviously it must be shat upon. Duh.
2. They don't serve prime grade steaks, so obviously their quality can't be as good
3. They have a salad bar, and that's pretty Golden Corral-ish
4. It's a local joint, errbody has to hate on the local joint because that's what we do.

I'm definitely not a regular there, but the few times I've been have always been good experiences. I've never had a bad meal there, the bar has a pretty solid selection of bourbons and the quality of food is consistently high IMO. Hard to really say anything negative.

Plus the Texas history and decor is pretty cool.

Brenners is very solid and very underrated. When comparing it to Pappas Bros it is splitting hairs IMO.
