We celebrated my uncle's birthday here last month and this place was fantastic and did not disappoint. Knife steakhouse is one of the few steakhouses in the area that serve Halal certified zabiha steaks of a decent variety. We felt confident as a family to celebrate here together. They have halal steaks that they source from a particular farm. You have the choice of ribeye, porterhouse, filet and NY strip etc. The ambiance here is romantic and dimly lit, perfect dor a beautiful intimate dinner. Even though the mall itself is abandoned there were quite a few patrons dining here on a weekday evening which was assuring. We started the meal with a selection of bread and delicious whipped butter w flaky salt. My salad was very good and they did not skimp on the toppings. The mocktail my sister ordered was made well and our server Umeed went above and beyond to educate us on the halal steak offerings and navigate the menu. The sides we ordered were really delicious although I wish the portions on those were slightly larger as they are advertised as to share. The garlic mashed potatoes were yummy and I liked that the creamed spinach was not too dairy heavy and had good flavor, and was not too watery. My strip steak was cooked beautifully with crispy fatty edges just the way I like it. If you are looking for a premium Halal steakhouse experience in North Dallas, don't hesitate to come here!! read more

The service was wonderful but the food was mid at best, which for the price I expected much more from here. The restaurant is attached to the mall so finding parking was easy. We were sat promptly and our server was very nice and attentive. She was knowledgeable of the menu and gave recommendations based on our tastes. The seats were comfortable and the volume was tolerable even with the big parties that were sat only a few tables away. They do a good job of lighting the table since the overall ambience is on the darker side. They brought out a plate of crudités that was very good! We really enjoyed the dipping sauce that came with it and finished all of it. They also have complimentary bread, but I personally think it was overkill. A person walks around with a giant tray with 5 different kinds of sourdough breads and biscuits, and it was all room temperature or cold. Overall the bread was good, but nothing out of this world. My boyfriend and I shared a salad, which was yummy, and I then ordered the sliders for myself and he got one of the dry-aged steaks medium-rare. The sliders were sad. I don't think using biscuits for the bread works at all and it just ended up making all of it very dry. The bacon was average, and the spread wasn't very noticeable flavor-wise. I actually ended up swapping out the biscuit for some sourdough I had left over from earlier which made it better. The steak was incredibly chewy. It had good flavor, but it wasn't fun to eat. We both agreed that we would've rather spent the money we paid for it at a different place. Because of how underwhelmed we felt we didn't get any dessert. They did give us a couple of muffins on the house on our way out, but even those muffins left a lot to be desired. I bit into mine when we got home and didn't touch it again after that. I don't think we'll come again. Service was great, but we can't justify paying so much money for average tasting food. read more

Came here for our anniversary and had excellent service with a fabulous waiter. We loved everything we had, in particular the avocado fries. Sweet baby Jesus. It was one of those situations where the steak was good (no complaints!) but the sides and the appetizers stole the show. They had a huge variety of bread and we particularly loved their veggies too! Yum! read more

I recently made a reservation to celebrate an anniversary at Knife. We enjoyed the service and ambiance, and it certainly had great date night vibes; however, we still left feeling disappointed. The biggest positive was the service. Our waiter had great energy, gave great recommendations, and went out of his way to ensure we were enjoying ourselves. Since it was our anniversary, they offered us a complimentary dessert, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The biggest letdown was the steak. For a $150+ steak that was supposed to be 32oz, it was extremely underwhelming. It lacked flavor and was very fatty. I typically enjoy the fat on a ribeye, but the fat on this ribeye was inedible. The sides were good, but also overpriced. read more

Knife Steakhouse Plano - 45 Day Dry Aged Ribeye - Steakhouses Near Me - Plano, Texas

Lunch today for our 15 year anniversary was Knife in Plano at Willow Bend. The restaurant is beautiful inside. The waitress was attentive and professional. The first thing that came out was the creamy jalapeño soup. This soup is rich, luxurious, spicy, and delicious and the portion was generous. The onion rings came in a tall stack and were huge, fresh and perfectly battered and fried. They lacked much flavor but when we added salt they tasted great. The steak au poivre and fries were wonderful. The 45 day dry aged bone in strip was cooked as requested (medium rare) but I was worried before I cut into it because it was well charred. But correct inside. read more

Steak night done right at Knife Steakhouse. Tonight's dinner was on another level -- perfectly charred cuts, buttery-soft centres, rich bone marrow, and sides that actually stand out. The roasted mushrooms were insane, the carrots were sweet with a little caramelization, and every plate was crafted with serious care. Knife Steakhouse is the kind of place that reminds you why great food is an experience, not just a meal. Exceptional service, beautiful plating, and flavours that hit exactly where they should. If you're a steak lover, put this spot on your list. read more

I've been to this establishment at least 3 to 4 times. The service is always so good. When you're craving a nice steak. The sides and the greens on are on point. The owner is very kind and the server or bartender. Whichever you see that is very attentive and helpful. Always a good go to. I love during the day or when the lighting is right. The patio outside is super cute read more

Wow! We found this restaurant on Resy when looking for somewhere to celebrate my husbands birthday. Brion was our server and was phenomenal! I really appreciated his recommendations and service. The food though. Wow. Top notch! We started with the bacon flight that came highly recommended and I can see why! It was absolutely divine (unless you don't like bacon and then you wouldn't like it haha) For the main courses I got the Lobster Agnolotti which was probably one of the best lobster pasta dishes I've had! That's almost always one of my go to Italian dishes so that's saying a lot. And they included CHUNKS of lobster which was delicious. My husband got the 45 day dry aged strip (he's a NY strip guy) and he said it was chock full of flavor and cooked perfectly. We added the mashed potatoes and avocado fries to round out the dinner. The mashed potatoes were some of the best I've had at a restaurant and the avocado fries were crispy and refreshing all at the same time. I do wish the avocado was salted a little more but that may be personal preference. For dessert we shared the vanilla creme brulee which was equally amazing compared to the rest of the menu! I loooooved that it was a thicker an creamier crème base All in all I would highly recommend Knife for a nice dinner/date night! The music inside was tasteful and it wasn't overbearingly loud. The ambiance inside is very moody but in the way you want for a higher end dinner. 10/10 recommend! read more

Perhaps the experience is better for dinner guests, but we chose to visit during lunch to celebrate our anniversary since we have a one-year-old. We expected a more limited menu at lunch, but we were surprised that no bread was provided with our meal. While the steak itself was tasty, the overall experience fell short. It felt as though the level of service was noticeably different simply because we came at the "wrong" time of day. What ultimately made this one of the worst anniversary meals we've had was the service. Our server seemed to be in a bad mood and was very impatient with us. When boxing our food, he appeared annoyed because he was confused by us about whether I was still finishing my fries, which made the interaction uncomfortable. Overall, the meal felt unwelcoming and unpleasant, and it was especially disappointing since it was meant to be a special anniversary celebration. read more

I was a little underwhelmed with this place. I know this place is more of a dinner steakhouse place, but I went for lunch on a Saturday one day and there was zero people there at 12:30. I honestly thought they were closed but they were open. The mall that it's connected to was a ghost town. I don't know how many places over there are surviving. For the food though, it was really good. I just got a burger because it was lunch. It was a really good burger. The sides were really good too. The food itself was good. I really have no complaints about the food itself. I suppose I just got a bad taste from the atmosphere here. read more

Knife Steakhouse Plano - Fries Burger - Steakhouses Near Me - Plano, Texas

I want to be clear that this place is very expensive, almost comically, but we were celebrating my birthday and I been wanting to eat at Knife for years. So here we are. It was a quiet Monday night and it felt like we had the restaurant to ourselves. The dim lighting provides a very moody ambiance, kinda felt a little throwback to the rat pack era. You always forget what exceptional service actually looks like until you come to a restaurant a Knife. Our host, waiter, and bartender were all top tier. Quick shout out to our bartender for making some exceptionally tasty and balanced cocktails. The bread basket to me was an interesting flex. It was kind of off-putting when our waited arrived at our table with this massive basket of bread for our choosing. All the bread was fantastic but I would avoid the biscuit. Even though it was good, it wasn't hot and no one wants a room temperature biscuit. The Mac and Cheese for me was almost great. The quality of the pasta was good as was the flavor of the cheese. However the cheese sauce was broken in my mac and cheese. This happens when you incorrectly reheat a cheese sauce. I could taste where the cheese actually separated from the sauce and it created a grainy texture. The sleeper side was the roasted okra! Our waiter even said not many people order it and it's a restaurant favorite. It was soooo gooooood and not slimy for all you okra haters. Now for the main event. We ordered the 45 Day Aged 44 Farms Rib Eye medium rare. So was the steak delicious, yes. Was it $145 declious? Meh not quite. The best part was the bites of the crispy edges on the exterior of the steak. What an epic bite of food. However, it was still cold in certain parts, and yes I realized it was ordered medium rare, but a cooked steak shouldn't be served cold unless that's how you want it. Also there was some gnarly fat and gristle buried inside the steak that wasn't fun to eat at all. Would we come back and try other things, absolutely. But at these prices, it would have to be for a pretty special occasion. read more

Excited to try this place and thought restaurant week would be a good time. Went on a Friday around lunch and it was pretty quiet in there, which is fine. Our waiter was sweet but the food was a little meh and the experience felt a little boring. Felt like it started off good, but sorta went meh in the main course. My first time ordering an espresso martini and that was delicious. We ordered the creamy jalapeno soup which was spicy (no complaints, I love spice) and served piping hot. Then I had the NY strip and mashed potatoes. Now I get it, restaurant week...things are supposed to be cheaper, so maybe a little smaller, but I felt like it was a sample portion. They served it on a huge plate and so it looked very "sad" and meager on the plate. The steak was slightly overcooked. I asked for medium rare and it was medium at best, pushing MW. My friend said the same about her steak. A different friend ordered the redfish and that was a better choice than the steak. Great crisp on the fish. We opted out of appetizers and dessert, so maybe this wasn't the best experience there. If you go, order from the regular menu not the specialty menus. read more

We were there with friends for Valentine's Day. Understanding that they were busy, we felt rushed by the hostess to be seated, even though we got there early.

Full disclosure: our experience is for knife Dallas so the review around the service may not apply. But, leaving it here since the food didn't really redeem the service. It was bad enough that I picked dessert on our way home :) eh. 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

We chose Knife Steakhouse in Plano to celebrate our 28‑year wedding anniversary, hoping for a memorable experience. While the service was excellent--attentive, friendly, and professional--and the atmosphere was pleasant and upscale, the food was a major disappointment. Unfortunately, the quality of the dishes did not match the reputation or the price point. For a steakhouse of this caliber, we expected far better execution and flavor. Sadly, the food itself was a 1 out of 5 stars and completely overshadowed what could have been a special evening. The dry aged steak was very underwhelming, so much so that we didn't finish it. It was chewy with a lot of gristle. The sides were just okay however the Bacon Tasting was very good. Considering the high cost, the overall experience fell far short of expectations. While we truly appreciated the great service and nice ambiance, we left feeling let down and disappointed, especially for such an important milestone celebration. read more

Husband and I were in Dallas area for a week, and we are glad we tried Knife Steakhouse in Plano with friends. Our party of four (us and two friends) ordered several dishes to try: - Starters: Bacon tasting, yellowtail, tuna tartar, and Caesar salad as starters - Sides: Pommes puree, onion rings, wild mushrooms, roasted brussel sprouts & cauliflower - Entrees: Two orders of 240 days dry aged Akashi bone-in ribeye 32 oz (suggested to share by 2 people) Everything tasted really good. The stand outs were the bacon tasting (5 varieties) and the 240 days dry aged steaks. The steaks were perfectly cooked medium rare, nicely charred on the outside, really tender inside with bold flavors from the dry aging process. Our mistake was actually ordering too much that we couldn't fully appreciate the star of the show (the steaks) and had to take some home (which made for a great lunch the next day). What's also excellent was the service. We had Jordan, who was knowledgeable with the dishes. We asked many questions...from appey, to sides, to the steaks. Jordan provided recommendations based on our preferences and checked in on us often. When our friend asked more detailed questions on the wine selection, Jordan immediately offered to bring Grant, the beverage director, to come help us with his recommendations to select a bottle of wine, again asking questions to understand the customer's preference (which was a great conversation). The attention to details, service/recommendations provided based on customers' preferences, and of course great food made this an overall excellent dining experience. read more

Knife Steakhouse Plano - 240 days dry-aged Akashi bone-in ribeye 32oz shared by 2. Med rare, perfectly cooked. Nice char on outside, tender inside, bold flavors - Steakhouses Near Me - Plano, Texas

This is one review where I would truly like to start with the service. We were greeted by an extremely friendly maitre d who acknowledged our special occasion and got the evening off to a great start. The real fun began when our server, Jordan, came to say hello. He was an absolute professional and had a great knowledge of every dish. He really enhanced our experience and in this day and age of overall declining service it was a real treat to have Jordan with us. We started with the Bacon flight. You can absolutely tell the difference in taste between the different types of Bacon on offer and the Bacon Jam is superb. We also had the Bone Marrow and Caviar and while tasty, I felt the bacon was a clear winner. We went with the 90 day aged Strip as our main and despite being aged 90 days it had a nicely restrained "funk" which enhanced the meat. We also had the Bolognese Pasta which was very well prepared. As for sides, we went with the Spinach, Fries, and Mac and Cheese. The spinach was less creamy than at other establishments but I attribute this to Knife using fresh spinach instead of frozen. We had the Banana Dulce dessert and it was quite interesting. The Bourbon bananas were a highlight for sure. The Panna Cotta was very set, while the flavor was still great I would have preferred a softer set preparation. Overall I thought the price aligned with what we received and the service was a true highlight. Thank you to all the staff there that make the magic happen. read more

Had a great experience here last month with the family! Started with champagne, definitely can't go wrong there. I loved that they brought out complimentary crudite, which btw was so good. We also ordered the 240 Dry Aged Carpaccio as an appetizer and it was so good. It was perfectly dressed and very tender. We also got the Charcuterie Board which my husband and I loved but perhaps a bit too exotic for the kids. For dinner we ordered filet mignon (one was a bit overcooked but not worth sending back) and brussel sprouts and the truffle pasta. Given the price of the pasta I would have expected a bit more truffle flavor but it was very good overall. Topped off dinner with a dessert of chocolate, hazelnut and orange. It was a good dessert but didn't blow me away. They did bring out a complimentary pumpkin muffin which was a nice! read more

Pretty solid steakhouse next to the Willow Bend mall. Knife's specialty is dry aged meats and they feature numerous options in that department (even one that has been aged for 240 days). Knife isn't super showy like some of the other steakhouses in Dallas, rather, the emphasis is placed on the symphony of meats offered, with options such as bacon, charcuterie, and of course, the steaks. Overall, I left impressed but not wowed. The charcuterie board was great, the steak was cooked well, service was friendly and accommodating (though they forgot to give us butter when we asked). I'd come here again whenever I get a hankering to try some dry aged meats. read more

I randomly went to the mall this is located in and wanted a quick bite to eat. Instead of grabbing the usual food court food, my sister and I reviewed the menu located outside and decided to stop in. We shared a wagu burger and after the first bite I ish I'd gotten my own. The burger and fries were phenomenal (super flavorful and cooked perfectly).

So I never leave reviews - good or bad. Perhaps that's not right of me but nonetheless the truth. We went to this place with a few expectations given the menu prices. Drinks - very small for the price. Mom had a margarita which had a splash of drink and very large ice cube. Prosecco - well can't go wrong there. Old Fashion - good taste but again super small. Food - tasty but...not always as described. Let me explain. The expectation of the restaurant is that you place your full order in the beginning and it comes out accordingly. Apps, then mains, etc. No problem. We order bone marrow with caviar and spicy pork belly as apps along with our full dinner order. Only to be told about 15min later they are out of bone marrow. Ok. Why didn't waiter know that at the time we ordered - especially at a high end place and their order rules? No problem- we will get the meatballs. 10min later - oh we are out of the pork belly too. Now we are perplexed at the lack of kitchen and server comms. Not indicative of high end service. Ok. We will just have the meatballs. And so the evening progressed. Spicy meatballs: Waiter said 6 come in an order. Only 5 came in the serving. Menu said spicy. Not at all. Meat a little tough and bland. Sauce was like jar marinara. Disappointed. Wedge salad: what would you expect to see....a wedge of lettuce- yes? It's really a chopped salad. Disappointing. Good taste. Jalapeño soup: well seasoned but super runny like they were making it "stretch". Salmon was delicious. Seafood risotto: delicious. Well seasoned. Brussel sprouts and cauliflower: terrible - bland and super dry. Mac and cheese: gooey and taste like Kraft Mac and cheese from the box. Dessert: super good and delicious. Server: was good. But lack of communication with kitchen. Plates and utensils: we had to send plates back 3 times because they were dirty. Manager brought over dessert spoons in his hand from the bar with no napkins - this one is picky but given the experience with the plates. Was sus! Ambiance - clean, nicely designed. Music too loud for conversation. Was very torn about posting but thought I would share. read more

Without a doubt, I experienced the best steak I've ever had here at Knife. I was fortunate to be invited to a party in the private dining space. The space was beautiful but our party of 16 happened to be there when another party of about 25 were also present, therefore we shared the space with them. Needless to say, the noise level was HIGH. I wondered why the restaurant didn't simply seat us in the dining room as it was pretty empty that evening. We started with the bacon tastings. Very tasty but because of the noise or the number of people in our group, I didn't know what the 5 different bacons were, therefore could not really appreciate them. My side of the table had the oysters which were fresh and medium sized. My favorite appetizer was the yellowtail. The combo of yellowtail with grapefruit and sriracha was epic. BUT the 45 Farms filet mignon was magnificent. The crust was a beautiful brown and perfectly charred. Combine the crust with melt- in -your- mouth tenderness and stunning flavor in each bite and this steak is worthy to be a Last Meal. The wild mushrooms scrumptiously rounded out each bite. The restaurant is also beautiful appointed, see pics. It's a perfect ambiance for date nite. The bar also looked inviting to linger at. We had a tour and saw where the beef is dry-aged (for up to 240 days!). Everything is butchered in house, including the tuna and salmon. The Knife is a hidden gem that absolutely deserves more attention as a top notch steak restaurant in Dallas. read more

We came here for my husband's birthday a while ago. The place is real nice, our waiter was amazing, pricing was normal to most nice steak houses.

All in all this place was nice. read more

We have always gone to Knife in Dallas, last night was our first time to Knife Plano. The atmosphere, wait staff are very attentive, food is phenomenal. We had the butter poached lobster and filet au poivre. Both were exceptional. But! I miss the small peppermint and gummies AND the muffins for the morning that Knife Dallas did. Both of those final touches I am sad they don't have at Knife Plano. Small things but made the restaurant special. read more

For a high end steakhouse this place is mediocre at best. I should have known when I walked in at 6:30 and there were about 5 tables /people at the bar in the whole place.

Came here for Mother's Day with a part of 10... NO complaints. From the Branzino, the lamb chops and steaks everything was delicious and cooked to order. The waiter was by himself and handled everything with ease. The ambiance is nice, only suggestion... if you have a party in the back room seating at the table in the back, use the back door. The servers kept squeezing pass our table to deliver food, when there was an open door they could have walked through. Other than that I would definitely go back. read more

The experience at knife was awesome. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The ambience was amazing. They even use a quality drinking water that is really clear. All the steaks that I had were very tender and had the write amount of salt. I definitely recommend getting the sous vide short rib because it is extremely soft and packed with flavor. I also had the pleasure to try all their dessert courses my favorite was definitely the Banana Bourbon Dulce dessert. This dessert had a lot of elements and had a rich flavor from each components from the plate. read more
