$60 to Spend on Steak House Fare

We know -- using the words "upscale," "unpretentious," and "fun" to describe a steak house in downtown Houston seems like a misnomer. But when the Examiner says Laurenzo's Prime Rib has "accomplished these goals in spades," we think it's worth visiting, using this deal: o $30 for $60 to spend on food and non-alcoholic drinks o A section of the menu is purely devoted to prime rib dinners o Every cut is all natural and hormone and antibiotic free o Seafood options are available, too, like the popular seared ahi tuna in a sesame seed crust Getting to Know Laurenzo With a storied last name in the Houston restaurant scene, Domenic Laurenzo set out to start something a bit different than what he previously created in El Tiempo Cantina and El Tiempo Market. Determined to pair a casual atmosphere with upscale dining, he has successfully blended the two while operating his kitchen with Americana authenticity. Angling for a feel that's equally inviting to those in suits and jeans alike, the all-wooden bar, intimate booths, gallery windows looking out onto Washington Avenue, and sports memorabilia are only out-shined by the hefty portions of aged prime rib slow roasted to order, and served with horseradish. And to suit every Texan appetite, too, the menu also offers dishes like zesty chicken picatta, the grilled pork asado sandwich, and housemade burgers leveled between old-fashioned buns.
