    Killen’s Steakhouse in Pearland was a great experience. The service was perfect from start to finish, attentive and professional without being over the top, and everything came out well-prepared. I had the ribeye, which was cooked just right and had great flavor. My spouse and mother-in-law had the parmesan-crusted chicken, and both said it was delicious. We also had scallops as an entrée, which were excellent. The sides were also very good, especially the asparagus and au gratin potatoes. And the carrot cake was honestly the best we’ve ever had. It’s definitely a higher-end dinner, but the food and service made it feel worth it. Bon appétit.

    Went to Zanti for babe’s birthday, it’s his favorite place. He loves the branzino. His dish never disappoints. We also tried the lemon tart for the first time and he’s still talking about it!
