A $200 per capita takeaway, Houston $$$$ restaurant, that’s it? -Food squad

Survival statement:This article only represents a personal, single dining experience, not universal, please obtain information as appropriate.

I think I am not a very picky person, especially when it comes to eating.

The cuisines of all provinces and continents, from houttuynia cordata to pickled olives, I can cherish their specialties. If I am not used to it, it must be my problem.

This kind of me has been defeated repeatedly in the expensive restaurants in Houston.

(List of failed cases, I didn’t think about P picture)

From Uchi to the salty omakase that made my nose crooked and my soul out of my body, to Da Marcos’s wild sea bass, which was expensive to outrageous but tasted like flour, andVic & Anthony'sthatToo fatty rib eye steak...Why once I leave the Chinese food field, my restaurant's luck seems to be bad.

I admit that many restaurants are expensive because customers are paying for the service and the environment, but my god, should you give me something to eat?

It is not easy for everyone to make money.

But I still didn't give up. The epidemic has been boring at home for almost half a year, and I want to give them another chance.

What if you find the baby?

Of course, as timid as I still don’t dare to eat in a restaurant, after researching the menu, I decided to try this Google yelp restaurant with 1000+ reviews and a four and a half stars rating—Steak48. Takeaway.

More than 1000 reviews can be described as rave reviews, from service to food quality, the official pictures are also attractive.

I actually paid attention to it when I passed by this store before. The dark gray exterior decoration reveals my very expensive and cold temperament.

Now when it comes to the takeaway software, it is very close to the people. When eating, the market price is marked in the menu. The dishes that people dare not to order are clearly marked here, so as to avoid the embarrassment of pretending not to like it after asking for the price.

(Weeping in blood from wallet)

After a careful selection of meat and vegetables, I rub my hands at home and happily wait for the delivery staff to arrive.

Delivery will be here soon, look at this low-key luxury…Big paper bag.

Let's first take a look at the restaurant that is famous for its service. How about the delivery packaging?

First of allIt is heartbreaking to find that the sorbet ice cream has melted... There is no separation between dessert and hot food, which is a bit disappointing.

The carton for the dishes is quite satisfactory, sealed with a sticker with the logo, and the abbreviation of each dish is marked at the same time. Open it quickly.

Wait, why the two lobster tails I ordered became lonelyA shrimp? 🦞

Wait, I only ordered a small fried shrimp as a starter. Why does it appear box after box, and one box is bigger than the other? 🍤🍤🍤

Could it be that the store directly replaced the unavailable food with other equivalent dishes without notifying me?

I once again confirmed that I did not receive any reminders in ubereats, and turned my head towards the huge box of fried shrimps that shouldn't belong to me, a little angry.

But this is the end of the matter, and I still realize the importance of food, so I get my mood ready to feast on it.

After disinfection, Transfer to their own clean tableware. (Although the US epidemicLove has lastedFor a long time,still isPay attention to the safety of takeout. )

Let's take a look at this $389.68 meal for two people.

Crispy Shrimp Ball $24

Large Crispy Shrimp

Individual score:⭐⭐⭐

Although this is a shrimp ball that replaced the lobster, I will still objectively evaluate it.

The fried shrimp ball has a caju flavorn,will get Obviously Black HuThe aroma of pepper, withThe taste of compound spices is rich in taste, but it does not take away the umami taste of shrimp.

After reheating the oven for 3 minutes, the shell is still crunchy and the shrimp meat is also very elastic. It is served with the orange-pink Thai-style sweet and sour garlic mayonnaise sauce, which is just not greasy. It is a recommended dish.

(But it's not worth three servings 💢)

Truffle Baked Potatoes $21

Double Baked Truffle Potato

Individual score:⭐⭐⭐⭐

This shameless blackPotatoes, thanks to the combined blessing of cheese and truffles, turned out to be none of my favorite dishes today.

steak $92

8oz Domestic Wagyu Filet

Individual score:⭐

As a main dish that was given high hopes, this steak gave me a crit.

First, just10 minutes away, 在In weather like Texas,When sentWaiting for steakTurned out to beice cold.

(A true portrayal of my mood)

Secondly, this pieceLooks moderately thick.Fillet steak with beautiful texture.InwardlyIt's not tender at all, it tastes like scum.

attemptSlightlyThe situation got worse after heating, and it became difficult to swallow.Said the bestSoftArea? In a word:

The only advantage is that the seasoning is good, but there is no support for the taste, no matter how good the seasoning is, it is just a castle in the air.

I admit that I am not a steak expert, and I also know that this is a very time-testing food, it is best not to reheat it. But if the restaurant can't deliver it in a short time, causing diners to have a bad experience, you can add a reminder or simply take it off the shelves. Do you just want to do a one-time business?

When ordering, I added a foie gras by the way. The fat content is really rich. The fatty liver patient sawDugantremblingFortunately, I only eat it once in a while. It's a pity that sweetness has a lack of lingering fragrance, and it is also a delicacy that needs to hurry up to experience. It is recommended to order takeout carefully and have the opportunity to eat at the store.

Double Lobster Tail $92

Twin Lobster Tails

Individual score:⭐⭐⭐

The expectant twin lobsters suddenly became the only child, but they still have to taste it with tears.

Shrimp shell from beginning to endThe length of 20 cm, the shrimp meat has been stripped, leaving only the shrimp tails tightly embedded in the lobster shell.

A lot of black pepper,The surface is slightly burnt and crisp, with a comfortable seafood fragrance. The menu says yesMatchEat it with melted butter, it does add a bit of milky aroma, but it also adds a third of greasy.

ShrimpSoft and brittle, you can feel the resistance against your teeth.Fresh, it's a good main dish overall.

The only thing that matters is that the lobster is too salty. There is an illusion that this shrimp is living naked in the sea.

????

Asparagus $12

Individual score:⭐⭐⭐

This is supposed to be a small side dish asparagus, but it performs very well, Looks very thick, but the skin at the bottom has been carefully cut off, and the whole root is very tender.

Maybe it was because of the food in front that I was hurt, the rare normal level turned out to be the salvation of this meal.

Dessert

🍨

Mango & Lemon Sorbet $11

Sorbet Ice Cream

Individual score:⭐⭐

For some reason, there was only one box of the two flavors of sorbet when it was delivered. Not to mention half of it, it only tasted with lemon flavor.

AndIs to use sugar to make up for the deliciousness of other dishesIs missing?Why is sorbet that should be fresh and refreshing so sweet? Might as well buy a box of talenti.

After eating here, the expensive takeaway meal ended awkwardly. Still has not broken my curse of poor luck in expensive restaurants.

Perhaps it is the price that makes me have higher expectations and requirements for food, and these restaurants sell more atmosphere and service, which actually makes my expectations biased.

butI will continue to try!After all, life is short, isn't it just an experience.

Maybe the next one will be better.
