- EEdenVIPHouston •19 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoEverything was pretty good. The only downfall was that we waited on drinks a lot of the time and when we ordered the blueberry smoked cheesecake, they brought it out with out any blueberry smoke.. no one told us that it would be like that and then they charged us for it still. Also the in kind app didn't work there for me and the manager was pretty rude and snobby about that so it wasn't the best ending to the evening. Our reservation was 7:30 and we didn't leave until about 10:45 so it was a long drawn out dinner. The drinks are pricey and they are very small.More infoPrime 131Price: Expensive• Steakhouse• Heights / Washington•4.6
