Cafe Eccell Stakehouse

Cafe Eccell has been a dining landmark in College Station for years. Now Eccell Steakhouse is the newest restaurant in town and is this week's featured restaurant. If you have already had an opportunity to visit this new locally owned restaurant, please take the time to let us know what you think. If you have not been there yet, then make a point of checking them out this week. Then come back and let us know how it was. Place your review in the comments section by clicking on the word comments at the end of this post.

We only feature locally owned restaurants in our weekly reviews. Locally owned businesses help define our unique community character. It is this character that adds to our quality of life and makes us an attractive destination for tourists.

Please rate these four elements:

  • Overall quality
  • Quality of food
  • Quality of service
  • Value
Give a 1-4 rating for each category 1 being the lowest mark and 4 the highest. Please also include as much description as you like. If you had a bad experience please do not post that review. As we cannot verify reviewer comments, we will restrict totally negative reviews. If you have had a bad experience write a letter to the restaurant owner letting him or her know. If your letter is not snide or angry you will provide a very valuable tool for the owner to help them improve their business.

Hugh,

This is a great idea but I'm not sure how good of an idea it is to feature new restaurants. I'm sure that they will appreciate the added business but they have not had a chance to work the bugs out yet. We went to Eccell Steakhouse and were a bit disappointed. We will be back because we are confident that they will work through these things. These people have a track record. Other new restaurants may not have the same level of confidence from established customers. Also I have heard a rumor that there is or will be a commercial outfit doing the same thing with restaurant reviews. You might think about putting Eccell Steakhouse back up as the weekly feature in a few months. I'll review them then.

We also ran into some new restaurant stuff. We sort of expected that going to a new restaurant. A bit pricey for us, but we will go back for special occasions. We really liked the bar. they even had great music playing.
