Visited Brass Ram before catching an Alvin Ailey show and it ended up being a great pre-performance stop. Overall a solid experience that I'd happily return to. THE FOOD: We started with the rock shrimp casino, which had good texture but lacked a little depth, a touch more salt would have really brought it to life. The crudo royale was decent; the lobster and shrimp were fresh, though the sauce slightly overpowered the seafood. The standout of the starters was the mushrooms, absolutely amazing and perfectly balanced. We also ordered the Caesar salad (with extra anchovies on the side, just as requested, which made me very happy). The dressing was good but could use a little more garlic, anchovy punch, and maybe a small kick from a bit of Dijon mustard. Now the star: the prime rib. Surprisingly salted to perfection and honestly the best prime rib I've had in Dallas. THE SERVICE: Top notch. Attentive without hovering, and everything arrived at a comfortable pace, perfect timing before heading to the show. THE VIBE: The restaurant gives strong Boston steakhouse vibes; classic, polished, and a great place to start a night out. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you're heading to a performance nearby.
Brass Ram was outstanding. The prime rib was perfectly prepared, but the surprises stole the show. The garlic-forward Caesar with salmon roe was incredible, and the carrot cake--perfectly spiced, not overly sweet, with candied carrots and salted caramel--was the best I've ever had. Excellent service and a kitchen that clearly knows what it's doing. I'll definitely be back.
I went here for my birthday The main event was for the prime rib, but I think the best bite that we had was the appetizer with the thinly sliced New York strip and Ponzo sauce. The prime rib was really good but the horseradish sauce that it came with made it very delicious. The mac & cheese was very creamy and tasted very good. I love the steakhouse vibes going on sat in a very comfy booth and the service was great. My wife's fish that she got was not her favorite. She thought it was a little dry. I don't know if it's a fish, but it did need the sauce and the sauce was good. I ended the night with a little glass of Port wine. That was very delicious.
I sat at the bar and had Nicole as a bartender. I was there on a Wed before a concert at the Majestic. She was very attentive. I had the pasta special which was a tomato alla vodka with lobster and the Brussels sprouts. The Brussels sprouts are to die for. I paired it all with a Pinot Noir from OR. Really nice inside but not very busy.
I recently had a closing dinner with our new bank in one of the private rooms at this nice steakhouse in downtown Dallas. Service was great, prompt and friendly. The wine selection was broad featuring the notable varietals and regions that one would expect from a good steakhouse. Steaks and sides were well-prepared and tasted great. I've recommended Brass Ram to many when considering a business meal and also for an elegant date night. Give them a try.
First time here and would definitely go back. Loved the vibe and decor. Felt upscale but comfortable. It is cold, so bring a jacket, although they gave us a blanket:) Waiter was very attentive and polite. Tried several things on the menu. 1836 is their take on an old fashioned, which is supposed to have Dr Pepper in it but I couldn't really taste it, still really good tho. Left Foot Special is basically a margarita but the midori gives it an interesting after taste. Wine by the glass selection seems ok, but ask to try them first. I don't think we actually got what was on the menu (according to the check). The burger was AMAZING! By far favorite part of the dinner. The seafood special was good, swordfish, but felt a little dry. My friend got the prime rib and she said it was really good but not sure she'd order it again. I can't vouch as I don't like prime rib, but my mom loves it so I'll take her to try! Get the onion rings on the side! Tried their take on bread pudding, it was pretty good but a little over powering in apple pie if you don't like apples. All in all, I recommend. I want to go back and try happy hour!
Brass Ram has such a rustic yet opulent vibe! We chose to valet the car as we heard that the self park options weren't so good, but the lot next to the building seemed to have plenty of spots? It's $7 but there's a $1.75 convenience fee. However, it's nice that you can call for your car before you leave. The restaurant is on the second floor, and the hostesses are so friendly, they opened the door for us and were so understanding about us being a little late (valet was parking another car). We got a nice wide booth that could easily fit 4 (maybe even 6) people. Our waiter was super knowledgeable and guided us on the nightly specials and kept in mind my allergies. He recommended the pop's cut for prime rib which is super shareable amongst 2, maybe even 3 people. We ordered 2 sides as he recommended as well because the portion sizes were just right for us two. We also ordered the carpaccio app which was amazing and so delicious. We didn't end up finishing all of the prime rib, and we got extra au jus to take home with us! I'm a little disappointed that they didn't do anything special for my husband's birthday but the whole experience was pretty nice.
The Brass Ram in Dallas, Texas, is a little gem perched on the 2nd floor downtown. From the moment I walked in, I loved the restaurant's chic but nostalgic atmosphere. There is memorabilia everywhere. The highlight of my meal was the wedge salad with a southwestern ranch dressing twist--it was simply amazing! Like a good pescatarian I am, I also tried the crab cake, and let me tell you, there's no filler in this puppy! It was packed with crab meat, perfectly seasoned, and pan seared. Loved it!
The service and the food were outstanding. We were greeted and seated quickly (we had a reservation through OpenTable)), and the general manager came over and said hello. Our waiter was attentive but not bothersome, and offered information on a number of specials as well as some details on the menu. The peach and buratta salad special was light and delicious and truly exceptional. The wedge salad is one of the best I have had. We both got prime rib, the smaller cut and the gentleman cut. The meat was cooked perfectly and very flavorful, accompanied with a popover and horseradish sauce with au jus. Great food accompanied with great service really made this dinner special.
From the moment we took the elevator up, I enjoyed the vibes. The host was welcoming when we arrived and chatted as we walked to our seats. It wasn't crowded for dinner on Tuesday night, which was nice. The appetizers were so good, and the meatballs were just delicious. Our server, Sarah (sorry if I got their name wrong), was fantastic and attentive. She also gave us suggestions off the menu. And everything we got was just delicious We did get the Caesar salad with no croutons But other than that, everything we ordered was as is. We enjoyed it so much that we even got gift cards, but you do have to pay separately for them We did sit in a corner booth closer to the back after the bar. We did Uber, so I'm not sure about parking
I can't say more wonderful things about this restaurant. The service is impeccable. Food was incredible. Drinks were perfect. We had one of the best date nights we have had in a long time and can't wait to come back!

This is one of the coziest restaurants in Dallas. My second visit here was as great as the first. The first visit was with my partner and we had prime rib with a number of sides. I was talking about weeks later. This visit was solo. I had the house salad, filet, and macaroni. Excellent. Steak cooked perfectly medium rare and the béarnaise... Chef's kiss. I felt motivated to write a review due to the bartender, Cameron. As my partner recently passed, I'm eating out solo quite a bit. A nice bartender makes the experience so much easier and Cameron did not disappoint. Super friendly, great timing, and even chased me down getting the car to give me my CC, which I forgot. Kudos to him. Check it out. It's fabulous. read more
Disclaimer: I am only reviewing the donkey roll dessert We had the donkey roll for dessert the first time we went to brass ram for dinner. During dinner, we realized we were not prime rib people (I'll stick to my ribeyes). Thus, I would've expected my first time at brass ram to be my last - HOWEVER, we had the good fortune of trying their donkey roll for dessert. And boy oh boy, am I glad we did. Their donkey roll is undeniably one of my favorite desserts in Dallas. I think I've visited brass ram 3 times since my first experience with the sole purpose of just having their dessert! I would've came more if they didn't close at 10 P.M. I do want it to be known though: Brass Ram has said that as long as you're in before 10, they will happily serve you their dessert. As for the dessert: the donkey roll is essentially money bread over chopped apple pieces, topped with rum raisin ice cream, salted caramel sauce and mocha almonds. It is delightful and I highly recommend people try it. I can't wait to go back and just have their dessert again. read more

Whoa, another intoxicating evening at Brass Ram. Attentive service. Seductive setting. Ideal Dirty Martinis. Impressive wine list. On this visit, amazing bites of "Coconut Shrimp" & "Crab Cake". Luscious and decadent was "The Big Kebab" of lobster, scallop, king crab, and, shrimp. And, I dub thee, the King of "Prime Rib" in Big D! CHEERS! read more

I was blown away by this restaurant. This restaurant has been on my list of restaurants to try for a few months now. And I finally got to try it for a friends birthday. We made reservations a couple days in advance, and even then there were limited slots available. we came in a little early to have a couple of drinks at the bar. When our table was ready, we were guided there by a friendly and attentive host. The highlight of our visit, and my favorite was the prime rib. It's cooked perfectly. A lot of other places will overcook a prime rib, but not the brass ram au jus and horseradish cream sauce was phenomenal the Yorkshire pudding paired perfectly with the prime rib. And the prime rib basically melted in your mouth. We had the espresso, chocolate mousse and carrot cake for dessert. Even shared amongst four people, it was way too much. Can't wait to come back and try out some other items on the menu. read more
Classic Steakhouse Favorites in a comfortable yet elegant setting. Service was excellent. Wine list was great. Prime rib and loaded baked potatoes were perfection. I'd be a regular if I lived here! This is the meal I crave when in Texas read more

BBQ Meatballs, Pigs in a Blanket, A Burger Like I Had in Paris That One Time, House Salad, Pork Chop, Bucatini Ammiraglio, American cut Prime Rib YUM. Honestly the highlight for me were the appetizers--they were all so mind blowingly good, especially the burger. Like how in the world did they make a burger that good?! And I have such a weakness for Pigs in blankets, and they make a fantastic one here. The house salad was a little dry, needed more dressing. All the other dishes were great! Servers were super attentive and accommodating. Drinks were great! Interior is nice and elegant, we were seated in a pretty grand private room, with cool art pieces of Marilyn Monroe throughout the room. read more

I went with one of my lawyer friends last night and had an incredible evening. I read a lot of reviews before going and some of it really helped! I appreciate y'alls photos of the nondescript door downstairs that was the entrance. Someone also mentioned it was very cold inside and they were right! I'm glad I threw on a blazer. We came about an hour early for our Saturday reservation, and they were unable to seat us, which was fair. We had a drink at the bar and caught up on life. I didn't care for the Daiquiri, but his Sling was amazing. I ordered that one next. We got oysters for the appetizer. He had some wine. I ordered the bone marrow au gratin as an appetizer. It was good but takes seconds to consume. The prime rib was good, but the accompanying sauces made it sing. I got the thinnest, smallest portion but still was only able to consume half. The yorkshire pudding was generously portioned. I noticed he ate all of his scallops and said they were amazing. I'm glad y'all mentioned desserts because it's not apparent on the menu. I got the Paloma Cheesecake because I couldn't recall any negative reviews on it. GUYS! IT WAS AMAZING! Definitely the food star of the show. My friend was only planning on one bite, but completely finished his portion. And it was generously sized to share. It was thoughtfully crafted and had a beautiful, luscious texture. I've never had cheesecake with oranges and grapefruit on it before. It was not cloyingly sweet. Every bite was amazing, from the crust to the fruit. It was not heavy and didn't sit in my stomach like a rock. We couldn't shut up about it all the way after. Great meal for what it is. Spectacular service. It wasn't so loud where we couldn't hear each other, either. My only add is to request that they include the sauces with your leftovers. I was disappointed when I opened the box later and the sauces weren't included. read more

Brass Ram is like a speakeasy-like experience with a Mad Men vibe. You reach it through another restaurant. While it was cool, there were a few things that weren't the best. The music was very loud and the air conditioning was cranked up high. I wished I had brought a sweater with me - in Texas. Our waiter was great. He was friendly and helpful and explained the menu and recommended cocktails. The Old Fashioned cocktails we ordered were both great. We decided to split a small Caesar salad, but the large size arrived. Our waiter assured us that we wouldn't be charged for the large size. The salad was fresh, and the croutons were perfectly crunchy. The addition of smoked trout roe was a nice bonus. However, I found the salad to be over-dressed, while my SO thought it was just right. For the main course, I ordered Karl's Crab Cakes. While they were packed with crab meat, I was disappointed to find several small pieces of shell and cartilage. I ended up eating them carefully to make sure I didn't crunch down on more shells. The sauce was a bit overpowering, covering the flavor of the crab cakes. I ended up scraping most of it away. I recommend ordering it on the side. My SO, on the other hand, ordered the American cut of their Prime Rib. The prime rib was incredibly tender, and from what I'm told, it "melted in his mouth". Even days later, he is still raving about it and saying it was the best prime rib he's ever had. As for the sides, there was a mix-up when our main courses were served. Instead of the steak fries we ordered, mushrooms arrived at our table. We were more than halfway through our entree when our fries were brought to us, which wasn't great. The fries were cooked to perfection. The Mac de Blanc (Mac and cheese) I ordered was easily one of the best I've ever ordered. I liked it better than another well-known steakhouse's lobster mac and cheese. Despite a few service issues and the shell in the crab cakes, my SO and I agreed that we would definitely return. read more
Brass Ram is Dallas restaurateur Nick Badovinus's speakeasy/restaurant that sits above a National Anthem. A hidden gem, Brass Ram specializes in Prime Rib and delicious cocktails. A great location for a special occasion, Brass Ram is a Dallas gem. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - It's hard to find unless you know what you're looking for. Brass Ram is a hidden restaurant that sits above National Anthem. Take the stairs or elevator up a floor, and you'll find the hostess table. Check in, then let them lead you into a hidden restaurant with lavish booths, an amazing bar. And yes, there is a stuffed ram in the restaurant. Brass Ram is hidden. It's secret. It's cool. 1 Star. Service - Excellent. Dining at Brass is like dining at a fine dining restaurant. The servers are pros and are very knowledgeable about the menu. Our sever was attentive but not over bearing. Amazing. 1 Star. Food - If you're a fan of burgers, order "A burger like I had in Paris that one time a while ago". Yes, that's the name of the burger. We ordered it and asked for it to be cut for sharing, and the staff brought out an expertly quartered burger. The beef was thick and juicy and had me longing for those burgers like I had at Off Site Kitchen many times a while ago. A visit to Brass Ram should include Prime Rib. You can have it cut multiple ways, and we ordered American style and shared it family style. Tender, tasty, delicious, but pricey. Also, I want to reserve a shout out to the bar tender. I ordered an after dinner drink, a Carajillo over ice, and it was the best Carajillo I've had in Dallas. The drink is poured over a solid cube of ice. Amazing. 1 1/2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes, but only after I save my pennies. Brass Ram is amazing, but it's also very pricy. No doubt I will be back, but it's best to go for special occasions only. 1/2 Star. My Yelp Rating Scale (Sum of all parts): 1 Star - Atmosphere - Is it a cool dive? Perhaps an upscale place? No matter the type, atmosphere plays a big part and I'll give a star if I like it or thinks it has great charm. 1 Star - Service - You can have a great meal with bad service. But that's also what can make a five star joint drop to four. It's important to the dining experience that service is great and on point. 2 Stars - Food - I'll award up to two stars for the food, since this is the main reason we dine out. Sometimes the extra star is given for value, but it's really all about the food. 1 Star - Will I come back? - If I know for a fact I'll return, I'll give this a star. A place has to make an impression for me to return. Each Category can be given up to 1 star except food (2 stars) because I consider all these categories important to the overall dining experience. I will sum them up to provide my final Yelp score. read more

Everything about this place was so elegant. From the service to food presentation & even decor. Food was cooked perfectly & timed to come out just as we finished the last plate. Would come back & get the same exact thing but want to try more of the menu. read more

I've been wanting to try Brass Ram for a little while now. It is in an interesting location with a speakeasy vibe. It has a cool ambience and the food was delicious! We were here for a work dinner, and shared the dishes family style. Parking is not the easiest considering it is Dallas. However, there is Valet parking for $5. We ordered several apps including the rock shrimp, pigs in a blanket, meatballs, and burgers. The "burger i had once in paris" is a must try. It is the best burger I've had in a while - perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. The Prime Rib American style was so tender and delicious. I will say I was a little bummed though because I asked for my leftovers to be packed up, and it was inadvertently thrown away. Overall, it is quite pricy, but the food is delicious. I'll be back for a special occasion! read more
Dare I say that Brass Ram is better than Monarch? Everything we ordered was delicious, well seasoned, and packed with flavor. The service was top notch from beginning to end. Their prime rib truly is the best I've ever had. Our table ordered scallops (huge), wagyu steak, prime rib, crab cakes and more. read more

Get there now. Go solo. Dine at the bar. Make friends with Chris, the most charming, knowledgeable and genuine bartender I've ever met. Order the Gibson with St. George. Tell him Megan said hi. Make friends with the people around you. Savor in the golden thread of umami in every dish. The lovely diner next to me had the prime rib and claimed it the best. I claim my tenderloin the best yet. I claim that Gibson the best martini of all time. You don't know me and you don't have to believe me. But what if I'm right? I travel for work and always pick a local steakhouse and sit at the bar. Have done this at least 20 times. The only places that beat out Brass Ram are Gibson's in Chicago and St. Elmo in Indy. Thank you for a lovely experience! read more
