Fernando's Steakhouse

Fernando's Steakhouse keeps a short menu built around steaks and seafood with Latin American influences. The namesake Steak Fernando, a special cut of tenderloin served with asparagus and garlicky mashed potatoes, is a house favorite. Reviewers have also praised the corvina, a South American white fish finished in a lemon butter and wine sauce, and the menu includes shrimp dishes, ceviche, paella and lamb chops.

Dinner is served Tuesday through Saturday, and the restaurant asks larger groups to call ahead for a reservation. The dining room is large and fancy, with a separate bar area and private dining rooms, and the kitchen can handle big parties. The restaurant sits on the Southwest Freeway in Sugar Land.
