Looking to go somewhere we haven't been (Pappas, V&A, Del Frisco, etc).

Given similar quality, we would prefer somewhere with a little bit of atmosphere vs quiet/formal.

Vs is probably better, but Capital Grille (Galleria area) has the best service ever.

I've always preferred capital grille. They seem to have better quality steaks.

Odd question, since they're very different concepts.

Eddie V's for seafood and a killer happy hour bar menu. Cap for everything else.

I went to Flemings a few weeks ago and thought it was great.

Like I said, I haven't been to either. Looking at the menu, both menus are made up of steak and fish. I would say they cater to the same crowd.

Eddie V's happy hour is hard to beat. Get there early and have fun.

They are owned by the same company and are therfore very similar to each other. With that said I prefer Eddie V's of the 2 becasue of the seafood selection.

Any details on the happy hour as far as time and specials you know of? Didn't see anything on their website.

That's like saying they're both similar to olive garden. Doesn't really make any sense.

Eddie V's is a seafood place that happens to have good steaks as well. It's a pretty far cry from the original in Austin but still a fun place.

Capital Grille is a traditional steak house.

Pappas Steak House on Westheimer was probably the best meal Ive ever eaten...

Anyone willing to say the same about Eddie Vs or Capital Grille?

I haven't been to Eddie V's but I hear it's tremendous. I did go to Capitol Grill last night though and had a great experience. Yes I did HRW menu but we also ordered extra appetizers and sides from the full menu.

It was a very nice dining experience. Had a perfect filet, potatoes and green beans. The bread and butter were very nice as well. I passed my soup to my MIL who wanted to try it as well as the salad. Since I'm not a big fan of soup that was fine.

The crab cakes were really good too. Not as good as the one at Oceanaire but pretty close.

Calamari was well executed but didn't excite me. Calamari rarely does. No one at the table was very taken with it. Fleming's calamari is much better.

Dessert was limited because of the HRW menu but it was decent. The real winner was the steak though, as it should be at a steak house. Very well done.

Honestly though I think such an experience could have been had at Flemings or Pappas or any other great steakhouse. In fact I think Flemings might be better.

Just my two cents.

Btw service was outstanding. Would go back for the service.

That's good to know.

I'm a fan of both, but when I think of V's I think of happy hour and that epic calamari, and then of a good fish dish.

When I think of Cap Grill I think of your standard high end steak house.

I'll have to try a steak at V's soon. Especially now that HRW is over.

Went Friday for HRW to Eddie Vs and the filets we had were great. Overall a great value at $45 per person.

I love this idea that the truly sophisticated Houston foodie avoids dining out during HRW in order to avoid rubbing elbows with the unwashed masses.

You snobs got it all wrong. Eat your steak like a GD man.

Tenderized, breaded and fried. A1 and/or cream gravy recommended.
