Restaurants near The Planetarium

Always skeptical about a steakhouse, we opted to try Vic and Anthony’s on a recommendation. Had a 10:45 reservation and arrived 30 minutes early thinking we would enjoy a cocktail at the bar. To our surprise, they were able to seat us right away. Our waiter Hector was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable; providing recommendations when I was being indecisive. The wine list read like an encyclopedia and the bottle prices were very reasonable. We shared a life changing crab cake as a starter. The sauce was so incredible we soaked up the deliciousness with the homemade bread. The wedge salad was very flavorful and more than enough for two people to share. My husband ordered a ribeye which was cooked to absolute perfection and had that crust most restaurants can’t achieve without a grill. Tender and delicious!! I ordered the wagyu carpaccio which was amazing. Cut paper thin, the carpaccio was like butter. Every bite was pure perfection. We couldn’t possibly fit another bite in, but Hector wanted us to try dessert and brought us two bite sized cheesecakes which were amazing. The only ding against our experience was the table we were seated at. It was sandwiched between two four tops along the windows. We were definitely close to the folks next to us, making it feel like we were at a family dinner. Which was fine, everyone was very friendly. It made our dining experience cozy but not unpleasant. The rest of the tables appeared to be spaced out okay.

This is my second time hereee…. And once again i loved it !! I had the black mamba martini it was very tart… and the 14oz New York strip steak with the stuffed chili and extra beans and cheese my total came up to $111 not including tax o think it was $33 per person it was 2 of us…. I mean it was a tad bit pricey buttttt the steak was amazing lol

Our party of 4 was outside on the patio for Valentine’s Day. While it was a little chilly at first the staff was nice and brought heaters for us. Unfortunately a windstorm hit and wouldn’t let up and that affected our dinner service and it’s hard to rush food of that quality and wine. The staff did their best with the circumstances that arose. While it created a memorable dinner, it was too rushed and everything was ice cold.

An excellent experience from beginning to end. The service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. The house-made sourdough bread was the best bread service any of our party could recall having at any restaurant (definitely indulge in the accompaniments), and the fresh made pasta was perfect. It's no wonder reservations fill up fast!

Decent BBQ; great sides. Huge portions. Pricey drinks. Quick and easy place to have dinner
