Casa do Brasil is good and a neat experience, but I wouldnt call it upscale. I was also a little disappointed in the food. Seemed a lot of the meat was over cooked and dry.

I would choose Republic or Christopher's. Republic would be my choice

The Republic, Porter's, and Christopher's are all top notch. The Stella Hotel is pretty good too. Check out their menu's to see what best suites the old lady.

If you're going to invest in an hour-and-a-half 90 mile roundtrip you might as well start adding some Houston restaurants to your list.

Just as an fyi they are really good about cooking the meat the way you want it. Just let your waiter know and then give it a few mins for your own batch to be made and the rest of your meal will have meat exactly how you want it.

Good at it is an overstatement. We sent something back 3 times because they couldn't get medium rare right. It was either raw, or well done.

Gate 12 is also decent, but not upscale. I would put their food about on par with outback. Heck, I wore athletic shorts and a t-shirt and I wasn't at all out of place.

I wouldn't consider Gate 12 as "upscale". But it can be loud… I mean REALLY loud

Republic has great atmosphere. We just don't like their food.

The only true upscale places are The Republic and Christopher's. I'd recommend either.

Ronin is great, but I wouldn't consider it upscale. Casa do Brasil is also great, but again not upscale. Primrose Path is another one with excellent food and atmosphere but it isn't upscale. Porter's is just okay in my book.

+1 Christopher's.

Let them know it's a special occasion.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll check out the menus to see what works. I like Casa do Brasil, didn't know they had one here, but the wife's not much of a meat eater. I think the owner of Casa Do Brasil is a big supporter of the Aggie golf team
Is the Republic the old Republic of Texas that was across from the Hilton?
Thank again

Got to be local at our age. Alcohol will be involved and the only DD can't see after dark.

Christopher's or Porters. Republic is overrated except for the bar.

Agreed! So frustrating, as the food is so good. And I'm not spending that much to eat take out.

If you ask to be seated in the back by the kitchen, it's not as noisy and it's much more enjoyable.

1869 italia is for sure not a anniversary spot

It is very loud
Plus it's meidiocore overpriced Italian food

It's basically Olive Garden with nicer interior

I wish that the Texan was still around.
That place was outstanding.

What didn't you like about Gate 12? We haven't been yet, but it has an excellent rating on Yelp, Facebook, Open Table and Google.
