No corkage at Houston's.. looking for under $20 to go with my teriyaki ribeye...stop by Trader Joe's on the way...  Cab or Pinot?  Or god forbid, Merlot?  <---per Sideways fame
 
Just ate there a few weeks ago... wasn't impresses... probably why I haven't been back there in years... but it was very crowded for a Thursday night (not really family friendly).
 
It'll be fine if we polish off a bottle of wine.. anything will be good with a bottle of wine.. speaking of which.. this is what I got..

people were going nutso over this.. hype from the Trader Joe staff tends to do this.. supposedly a $60 Quixote wine but labeled under Lance/Windmill for $15..  I fell for it..

 
Great wine, really made the meal...now I gotta go hunt for this at all the traders in the area..

Caesar, bit tangy for me, Ruth's Chris garlicky version is better

Only thing we get here, $33 teriyaki ribeye medium, great steak, teriyaki not overpowering, not for the steak purists, thankfully we're not

Cheeseburger with fries for the kiddo, she didn't t really like the burger (heavy mustard taste) but loved the fries.

Sunday nights seem like many couples with young kids, unpublished kids menu, just ask...  no corkage fee, a real value restaurant in unicorn land for foodie parents with a 2 year old.  $65 with a bottle of wine, doesn't get any cheaper then this. 
 
I was a big beer drinker but that Lance Windmill really opened up my taste for wine..  A big petite syrah, flavor was really intense, not ur typical Merlot...  I went back the next morning and picked up 4 more bottles, looking back I should've bought a whole case...good luck trying to find this.
