I made a reservation through Resy to have an early dinner here. Only a countertop was available, so we had dinner earlier and got a standard table. It was easy to find; we did get dropped off, so I'm not sure about parking. Upon walking in, we were greeted and shown right away to our seats. It didn't really get full the 2 hours we were there, so I'm not sure why only the countertop was available when trying to make a reservation. Also, I noticed the dress code wasn't really enforced, as the website and text stated. Moving on, our server, Alberto, was very nice. The food was delicious, and the drinks were pretty good. The only issue I kept having was the flies, followed by mosquitoes, which made it a bit uncomfortable, at least for me. read more

Honestly don't come here. They're set to close in August and it's gone so far downhill. Bar doesn't have the crudite (veggie starter) included anymore. They served me a filet smaller than I ordered. Renovation doesn't look good lol It was empty at 8pm on a Friday night. read more

Spent the weekend at the hotel which we do so often since our children own a home close to SMU. Ate dinner at the restaurant (1st time for me...many times for my husband on business) and I have NEVER been treated so rudely from a staff of waiters. DON'T eat here. Spend your money elsewhere!!!! BTW....Charcuterie plate was mediocre! Salad was good!! read more

We had an incredible dinner at Knife back in November and still haven't been able to finish writing the review until today. We had our reservations for 9:30pm because we were coming in from a show. Thankfully they were able to seat us earlier than our time. One of my biggest highlights of the night aside from the food, ambience, and the service was seeing Chef John Tesar. I did not want to disturb him while he was interacting with other guests but I was elated to just be in the room while he was there LOL. The steak was amazing and the mashed potatoes were divine. The other sides were good but not too memorable. The steak was actually the absolute highlight of the evening. It was very nice of them to bring out a cake for our celebration. I was very impressed with the service and can't wait to return if I am back in the Dallas area to try out the rest of the menu. read more

Meh. I soooo wanted to like them, yet they were so meh. We went there celebrating our anniversary. Husband loves good food and good steaks. And he makes a pretty darn good one. so I wanted to have him try one at one of the best places to see how it compares. Went in on a Saturday evening. The place was dead. We had a reservation but tbh you don't really need one, it was that dead. We elected to sit at the bar and ended up selecting a bottle of wine. The bartender didn't know the name of the wine and we pointed it on the menu for them to bring it up. They then proceeded to break the cork as they opened it. But luckily none got in the bottle. We asked for bread with the wine, got a slice each of walnut bread and never again were asked if we wanted more. We got two steaks and two sides. One of the steaks was so salty it was hardly edible. The mushroom side was awesome. The fries, meh. The other steak was nicely cooked but it didn't wow us. We took some home for our pup to share. Our pact was, he selects meat, I select dessert. I saw a chocolate hazelnut mousse on the menu. Turns out it was a organe sorbet with a hazelnut mouse like log, that barely tasted of any hazelnut mousse. I had a bite and passed it on to the husband. Long story short, I would rate the service a 1.5/5, the food a 2.5/5 and overall experience/value for money totally not worth it. Maybe, I don't get the fancy chefs. But I would likely never visit again. read more

Came here for an evening with some friends and we were seated at a booth in the far corner. Great serveice great ambiance albeit being at a hotel just around the lobby. This had exceptional steak with a good ambience to boot as well as great service, and a great wine list. I enjoyed particularly the steak and the high-quality of the meat as well as the accompaniments. In particular the steak was dry aged, and had a marbling as well as a very smoky taste to it. The cooking temperature was perfect. This was a very enjoyable experience. The tour if the meat cellar was educational I highly recommend this place read more

Knife Dallas - Steakhouses Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Knife is our favorite steakhouse in Dallas. It is a high price point but everything we have ordered has been incredible. What I love about Knife is how special I feel. I love the little after dinner treats that they serve with the knife mint and I also appreciate the pastry that they send to go to enjoy the next morning. This is the kind of place that I continue to tell all my friends about. read more

Ugh this was a very underwhelming meal. The interior is so beautiful and magnificent my expectations were so high. Our private room was so stately and spacious and even had a private lounge leading into it. But the food is just awful. The Caesar salads were tasteless (and I really can't remember ever having a Caesar salad I didn't like), the desserts were so odd and basically inedible. My pasta was alright, nothing to write home about. The steaks were meh. My friend's fish was decent at least read more

I've been to the Knife location in Plano on a couple of occasions and they've always been great! I wanted to try out this location because I absolutely love John Tesar and have even purchased his cookbook. The night started off great with wonderful drinks from the bar. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and we asked a few questions about the offerings. We ordered 45 day aged steak and wet aged bone in ribeye. We had roasted okra, Mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes. All the sides were cooked well and were full of flavor. Unfortunately my steak was over cooked. I ordered medium rare and it came out more medium well. I thought maybe he didn't hear me well so I didn't say anything. But it was not only over cooked, it was full of gristle which made it so hard to eat. I wish I would have stuck with a regular steak and not the wet aged, because it might have tasted better or been easier to chew. The dessert were delicious and I always enjoy the special free items we get take home. read more

Really good food located inside a hotel. Not cheap by any means. But it's what you'd expect from a "Chef's restaurant" that is located in a busy area inside a Hilton. Drink menu is unique but overly priced. Steak was prefect! read more

Had to give this place a try after the article came out naming is one of the best in the county. Came on a weeknight and had no problem, surprisingly, getting a pretty last minute reservation for a party of 5. Our server was excellent. He gave plenty of recommendations and made it fun and entertaining to explore the menu options. Okay listen, some people obsess over bacon. They put it on everything and insist it's the worlds greatest creation. I, however, am not one of said people. I enjoy some good bacon with breakfast or occasionally a blt or a bacon burger, but that's about it. All that said, THE BACON FLIGHT HERE CONSISTS OF SOME OF, IF NOT THE, BEST BACON I'VE EVER HAD. Each of the flavors was uniquely delicious, and honestly it's tough to pick a favorite. I'll go with the cherry smoked, I suppose. Then let's talk about the bacon jam. I would spread some of this stuff on the floor and lick it off (I wouldn't). It's that good. If I wasn't traveling I would've bought a jar or 12. Next time, I will be purchasing some. Anyway, enough about the bacon. We got a couple steaks that we shared around the table, including one of the dry aged ones the server recommended. We got some from "old school" and some from "new school". All were good, but I wasn't blown away the way I would've expected to be at a steakhouse with this reputation and national ranking. We had a variety of sides as well, all of which were good. I also had a strawberry dessert with I believe white chocolate, which was really unique and absolutely delicious. I'll be making my way back here, if nothing else, for the bacon! read more

Knife Dallas - Dessert! - Steakhouses Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Definitely a "treat yourself" restaurant because it's expensive but good for a special night out. The "new school" short rib was my favorite. The meat was so soft and melted in my mouth. Others in my party got the "new school" ribeye which I thought was chewy, but my group said the texture was fine. The sides were just average for a fine dining restaurant. We didn't order the bacon tasting this time because we came here years ago and remembered it being underwhelming and hard to tell the difference in flavors. Overall, the short rib was amazing but I felt the other meats and sides were simply ok. I would only come back for the fancy ambiance on a special night. read more

I've never written a terrible review on Yelp as my husband & i choose to address issues at the time of service with a manager if needed. Yet in this case, there were too many problems with both the food and service to ignore. Plus many come here for special celebrations & we would never want another family to waste their $ when there are so many great fine dining establishments in Dallas. They're closing 8/31, but should close now! Food: 1 - They were out of mashed potatoes, carrots & spinach - They brought 2 wedge salads dry without salad dressing even though a different kind was requested - 2 out of 3 filets were overcooked - They brought 4 out of 5 complimentary tiny desserts as end of meal treats, 5th diner received something different as they said they ran out Service: 1 - Our waiter forced us to order all courses upfront, yet didn't tell us they were out of carrots and spinach until much later - It took 45 min to get our soup and salads - Waiter didn't ask us to cut into each steak to ensure correct doneness - Server knocked over expensive bottle of cabernet, spilled 1/3-1/2 of bottle, picked it up off the floor and put it back on our table - We had to tell our waiter what happened. He brought us each a small carafe (1 glass each) of a different cabernet instead of replacing the bottle. We have no idea what Cabernet it was - The bill was $90 over due to extra wine charges that had to be corrected - Waiter randomly gave us each a breakfast muffin to bring home at the end?! Needless to say, this was NOT a fine dining experience! - read more

Knife is in the Highland by Hilton hotel where I stay from time to time. First time I ordered their specialty, Bone in Dry Aged 44 Farms Ribeye (45 days). It was epic. Collards and frenchies on the side. Started with yellowtail sashimi as appetizer. Enjoyed this feast at the bar with my son. We were so impressed with the service and how knowledgeable the bartenders were about the entire menu. They taught us a lot about the dry age process and how unique it is. Drink wise Knife is on point. We enjoyed some cocktails and I had an excellent Argentine Malbec to wash down the beef. Enjoy! read more

Not a place to go if you're a foodie. Or vegetarian or vegan. The place looks modern and sleek but the food has an old school mom and pop steakhouse vibe. The waiter said he was dropping off garlic bread, but it was just bread. The service was attentive. I explained several times I was still eating the complimentary vegetable crudités, the waiters tried taking it away (sometimes, as I was reaching for more) four times. Ordered the salad, pasta and sides, everything was saturated in butter and over salted. The truffle pasta was undercooked and the truffles looked like shredded cardboard I couldn't taste the truffle. The "wild mushrooms" were shitaki and cremini. Mushrooms you can find in any grocery store. All of the food was less than mediocre. Obviously I didn't order a steak or any meat. Don't go here if you're looking for good food. That being said, there were several groups of eligible bachelors dining here if you are a single lady. read more

I really hate leaving bad reviews but I can't rate this place high. As someone who is apart of a family that tries a new restaurant once a month I was excited when this place was requested. The food was honestly not bad but it took us over two hours to eat! We ordered appetizers along with our mains and it took SO LONG to get to us. Service was good when they came by but they checked in every 30 minutes. We were so hungry by time our food came that I was not impressed with the steak when it came. Some people really like Knife so you be the judge. However we waited way too long and paid too much for an okay steak. read more

Yes, this restaurant is attached to a hotel, but let me tell you they make one of the best burgers in all of Dallas, called the Ozersky. It's simple, it doesn't look fancy but the taste is great!

Pricey but tasty! Beautiful interior and ambience; staff was dressed all fancy with white coats. We got some free sampling of bread and vegetables with this delicious ranch/herb dip to start off. We ordered a steak, lamb chops, pork belly and a Caesar salad (they were out of kale) Pork belly - flavors had some Asian fusion in it. Came with white buns and some red sriracha like sauce. Lamp chop was amazing - I loved the garlic herb crust; it added texture and flavor to the meat Steak was also great-perfect amount of fat and meat. Definitely could take this home bc this coupled with the other meat dishes gave me a coma read more

Didn't get a picture of my food, but still wanted to write a review. Hosted a business dinner here - 24 people. The staff was really professional and overall, I think the dinner went great. The bacon tasting app was unreal. Highly recommend. I wouldn't say it's the BEST steak in Dallas, but it's good. I'm not a huge spinach fan, but enjoyed the side dish. Fries were really good. We did have some issues with things cooked wrong, and people getting their food on time - so just beware. read more

I spend in upwards of $5000 per week in customer dinners across many restaurants in Dallas and have never had such terrible experience at Knife. With all of the fabulous restaurants in town, find another destination to take your customers. They do not know what they are doing and even though it is convenient being attached to the Highlands, it is not worth it. What a joke! read more

Worst service I have ever received in my life. I go to top tier restaurants several times a week and never in my life have I ever experienced such a weak service staff that have no clue how to treat a customer.

I've been here at least three times since it first opened in Dallas. I brought my partner for his first time since I wanted to impress him with their steak. His favorite steak places were Nick & Sam's and Town Hearth, but I told him Knife was a heavy contender. We shared the 90 day dry-aged bone-in strip and it was heaven!! We started with the fresh Caesar salad and had the Mac and cheese for the side. No room for dessert this time, but you know they always give a little mint and gummy before you go. Now my partner's favorite steak house in DFW is Knife. :) read more

We came here for an early dinner and heard they have a really good burger. We got there at 5:15pm so it was still kind of empty which was nice. They brought us a veggie platter of celery sticks and zucchini to start and it was ok didn't get the point of it. Then they brought us some bread, which my favorite were the biscuits. I ordered the curio cocktail which was a bit too sweet for me but tasted good since I like pisco.My husband ordered an old fashioned and was disappointed with all the ice they added in it. I ordered the ozersky burger and added bacon and it was delicious. Cooked really well and had a good flavor. My husband got the filet mignon and was also cooked really well. He also ordered a side of okra. Overall we liked our food and the service was really good. They gave us a complimentary dessert which was just enough since we were full from dinner. read more

I was excited to dine here for Restaurant Week and made a reservation for 5 through the OpenTable site specifically for the Restaurant Week lunch menu. Upon arrival, we were seated and given the brunch menu instead. When I asked for the Restaurant Week lunch menu, I was told they don't offer it on weekends. This was shocking because the Restaurant Week website clearly stated the event ran through the 11th, and we were there on Saturday, the 10th. I showed this to the hostess, who mentioned that's what she was told and went to check with the manager. Meanwhile, the restaurant was practically empty, the staff seemed unhappy, and no one smiled. After waiting 15 minutes without anyone returning to our table, we decided to leave. We called Finch across the street, got a table immediately, and had a fantastic time there. read more

I recently stayed at the Highland Curio Collection by Hilton in Dallas during a work trip with my company, LVMH, for two nights and three days. I had a disheartening experience at your restaurant, The Knife, and felt compelled to share my disappointment. Upon approaching the host to request a table for four, I was denied seating based on the perception that my attire was too casual. My outfit, a suede mod 60's inspired dress with knee-high boots and gold accessories, was mistaken for a t-shirt. The host immediately dismissed my request and claimed that her manager wouldn't allow me in. She suggested sitting at the bar, assuring me it had the same menu as the dining room. Seeking clarification, I requested to speak with the manager, who took over 10 minutes to address the situation. To my surprise, he acknowledged that my outfit had been inaccurately described to him and granted me permission to dine. However, the entire incident left me feeling upset, hurt, and embarrassed. Inquiring about a dress code, the manager mentioned a website posting that I couldn't find upon checking later. Disheartened by the experience, my coworkers and I chose to dine elsewhere. Upon returning to our rooms, everyone was excited to find a bottle of champagne and a handwritten note, except for me. It's disappointing to be the only one excluded from this gesture of apology. As a professional and a black woman, I expect fair and equal treatment in any establishment. Unfortunately, my experience at The Knife fell short of those expectations. As the only black person in my group, I can't help but feel as if I was singled out because of it, and then confirmed after excluded from their gesture of apology. read more

My ribeye was divine!!!! Let me back up to the appetizer. Do the bacon tasting. Our table of four shared one and it was cut into bite size pieces for us. Back to this ribeye! Love it! It probably are 85% of it. Just a tad too much char for me. Not over top but another 30s and it would have been ruined for me. The desserts...:I love a good deconstructed dessert but stick with the creme brûlée. There are not you national lowkey chain steakshouses with a pre-priced convo. You will spend some coin and get it right back in quality and flavor! read more

Came for brunch around lunchtime on a Saturday and we were the only party - perhaps that should've been our first red flag. Overall, service was okay, however there were several missed details. For the table, we ordered the steak and eggs with a side of salsa verde, beef cheek burger, avocado toast, and 3-egg omelette. The side of salsa verde had to be requested again, the steak was overcooked and dry, and we had ordered the beef cheek burger but the beef cheek benedict arrived instead. Additionally, our entrees weren't served together and most of the dishes went cold while waiting. Echoing other reviews, our experience was mid at best. For the pricing and the supposed prestige behind this "fine dining" establishment, this was embarrassing. Don't waste your time or your money. read more

Came in for a steak...left happy Was in the in the mood for a good steak and wasn't in the looking to put down a months rent, so after a little research Knife seemed like the perfect place to accomplish that goal. I decided to go 'New School' and went with the 10oz Flat Iron & the creamed spinach. The steak was seasoned fantastically, very juicy, and cooked exactly as requested. The spinach I was given was enough to feed a family of 4 (but considering the price I wasn't mad about the portion size given). An prior to my food arriving I was offered a complimentary dish of crudités and a selection of fresh baked breads. The service staff here is great and are very attentive, I never felt like I had to search for my server and I also didn't feel like I was being hovered over the entire time either. Pro Tip: MAKE A RESERVATION! I got lucky and was able to sit down as a walk-in, but the area by the bar is first come first served. read more

Stayed at the highlands for a staycation and celebrating father's day with Dinner at Knife. Best choice ever. Everything was above perfect, down to the green goddess dressing for the crudités. Our waiter was very attentive, all the servers were great! At the end of the night the GM came to the table and spoke with us, very nice gesture. Five STAR treatment all around! There are items not listed on the menu option and nit pictured but here they are: Roasted Tomato soup. I would go back just for that!! Lamb meatballs. So tender and juicy! But spicy! Sides were creamed spinach and roasted shallots (they were just ok) and Johnny's mac and cheese bacon bread crumbles (DELICIOUSNESS) We were highly satisfied and stuffed! We will be back! read more

If you're a fan of dry aged steaks, this is the place for you. As soon as you walk in, you see the dry aging room. Tried the 240 day dry aged ribeye, Definitely not worth the hefty price tag, but worth the experience to try if you want a unique steak that you can't find anywhere else. Real standouts were the bacon jam on the bacon tasting appetizer and the goat cheese ravioli. No complaints on the service. read more

Attention to detail!! My girlfriend and I have been here a couple times and our experience is always lovely! We got our seating request (booth in corner) accepted easily! The ambience is really lovely- not too dark, no super loud music, fun and lively but still romantic! We started with delicious drinks. Our server was very attentive and quick. For apps, we for the steak tar tar which wasn't my favorite but personal preference, as well as the yellowtail- which was fresh and lovely. My gf said the steak was super juicy and flavorful. I shared with her and got pomme purée on the side, which was deliciously smooth. Then we ended with the cheesecake and a pretty happy anniversary chocolate sign. Oh! And we were also greater w champagne upon arrival. I think knife is the perfect date night spot for delicious drinks, romantic but lively atmosphere being inside the hotel, with a little something for everyone! Def not ur traditional steakhouse.

Very disappointing meal at Knife. If not for the excellent service I would've rated 2 stars. We drove a little under an hour to dine. The restaurant was empty after work on a Wednesday. I didn't realize this was a hotel restaurant when chosing. For some reason they tend to be let downs from my experience. The complimentary Vegetable Tray and Bread service were the highlights of the evening. Yes, you read that correctly. Endive, cucumbers and biscuits stole the show at a $$$$ steakhouse. We ordered the Dry Aged Ribeye, I believe the most expensive one, medium rare. It came out a little past medium, so they refired the steak. The Creamed Spinach & Roasted Shallots were a salt bomb. ..sent that back without replacing. Our refired steak was tough, chewy and not seasoned well. We picked at the Collard Greens with Pork Belly, mustard seed and pickle, but didn't finish. Johnny's Mac & Cheese was flavorless. .. didn't eat that either. The more I write the more I'm tempted to rate 2 stars, especially when I think about the price point. The irony of the bill coming out in an envelope labeled "The Damage". Go to Billy Can Can, Nick & Sam's or DM me and I'll suggest a better steakhouse for you. Very possible this was an outlier, but too expensive for a less than 4 star experience. read more
