Kemah Steak Company

I don't even know where to start we had such an all around amazing experience! I wanted to surprise my boyfriend with a special 39th birthday dinner. My boyfriend loves steaks, cigars and whiskey so that's what I googled and Vinyl Draught Kemah Steak Company came up and I'm so glad it did! I was going to bring my bf here no matter what because it is right up his alley. But I am celiac and have dietary restrictions so I looked at the menu and thought oh yea I could easily eat a plain salad and plain baked potato. Upon calling the restaurant for my bfs bday dinner reservations I spoke to Doug letting him know of the special occasion and asked him about gluten free options just to see if they had anything else I could eat there. He asked what I was wanting to eat and I said I was thinking salad, baked potato and steak. Doug was very kind and reassuring he said he was going to talk to the chef and call me back. Quickly he called me back and said he talked to the chef and is going to go to the store and get me a special gluten free seasoning, I told him he doesn't have to go to that trouble I could just eat a plain steak no worries at all. Upon arriving for our reservations we were greeted at the door promptly and they let us pick the table we wanted to dine at. Kya our waitress was absolutely wonderful! I started to inform her of my dietary restrictions and she said Doug the owner already briefed her and they have everything set up that will be gluten free safe for me. I couldnt believe Doug was the owner! He was so kind and accommodating! I ordered the Midnight Rose drink which was so delicious. For dinner I had a salad with the most amazing vinegarette dressing I've ever tasted, baked potato and a beautifully seasoned melt in your mouth filet mignon. My bf had an old fashion, salad, loaded baked potato and their signature seasoned steak. My bf and I were absolutely blown away with how delicious everything was! Doug and Kya surprised my bf with a birthday cheesecake and they surprised me with a special gluten free dessert! I was so shocked I have never in my life had such kind compassionate special treatment with my dietary restrictions. Most restaurants make me feel like I am such a burden because of my dietary restrictions. Doug made me feel right at home. I am so grateful! As the night went on Kya and Doug told us amazing stories about some of the memorabilia they had in the restaurant, it was all so fascinating! Doug gave my bf and I a tour of the restaurant and the cigar room. I am not a smoker but my bf is and I was amazed at how the restaurant or the cigar room didn't reek of cigar smoke! The entire establishment smelt so good like leather! After dinner we relaxed in the cigar room and enjoyed the outdoor patio. I can't even put into words how amazing the staff here is! So kind, so accommodating, so welcoming! All around amazing amazing amazing! We can't wait to go back! With all my heart thank you Doug, Kya and the rest of the staff for making our experience so great! We can't wait to see you again!
