Lunch at Houston's

Went to Houston's for lunch today and really enjoyed it. It is not a budget restaurant by any means, as most mains are over $20, but if you have the money and are in the neighborhood, I recommend it.
Where is Houston's? Yonge Street, just north of Front.
What kind of food? The specialties are steaks and ribs, and that was what we had. I had the Half rack of ribs with 3 shrimp and the ribs were tender, slipping off the bone, and delicious. One of my lunch guests had the same, and ate every bite, another had filet mignon and shrimp, and ate every bite, and the 4th had a chicken sandwich which she also enjoyed.
We started the lunch with a shared appetizer plate of wings, mozzarella sticks and potato skins. Acceptable, nothing out of the ordinary, but ok. The best part was definitely the mains. For dessert we split the key lime pie, which was definitely lime-y, and the brownie with vanilla ice cream. Yum!
As I mentioned, not a cheap lunch (approx $50 pp), but good ribs!
