Babins is good. If you like Asian Food, there's quite an assortment in Katy Asian Town, including a couple pricier places.

I'm a Babins fan as well, so much better than papadeauxs. If you see tile or triple tail on the fresh board go with that.

Davinci. It's not even close.
Small. Great service. Upscale Italian, but very good seafood, steak, desserts.

Agree with this. Reservation is mandatory, dining room seats 25 at most.

Knockoff Lupe Tortilla that's actually better in several ways including price - El Jarrito. Mason at highland knolls.
Also in Katy - Lupe Tortilla.
Mia's Table is good comfort food.
Mafia Sushi on Westgreen and i10 - fantastic, great family owners Leong and Jenny.
Local Table for Mediterranean/American fusion and good drinks.

Palinuro is a good choice if you want Italian and can't get a reservation at Da Vinci.

I finally ate there this past weekend and its pretty good, but not great. If you live halfway to San Antonio its a great to have place, but I wont be going out of my way to go back.

If OPs parents moved out to Katy to get away to the "country" but don't want to admit its no longer the country, then they'll make lots of friends at Anthonies.

Could they also talk about how Harris County is out of control lawlessness and taken over by the bad people, plus all the traffic?

I suppose they could. Which traffic? Houston or Katy/Fulshear?

I've only been to that Perrys twice. It was disappointing this last time. For a $45 lunch ribeye I would say it was on par with outback. I've had much much better steaks at da Vinci.

Not saying your experience is invalid, but I have never had an experience like that at Perry's. Maybe I just happened to go on a day when they were "on".

I agree. Went to the one in Cinco one time for dinner. Wife got the "famous" porkchop. Tasted like they cooked it in a crock pot. It was beyond below avg. I got a steak and it was on par with Outback as well. Needless to say I will never go back. Saltgrass blows perrys out the water. Seriously.
