What an energetic and fun vibe at Nick & Sam's!!! Absolutely loved the ambiance, food and staff. The center cut ribeye was by far the best steak I've had in all of my trips to Texas. This is a must go if you're in Dallas!! read more

Nick & Sam's is a popular, trendy steakhouse in Dallas known for superior service, rainbow cakes, and people watching. Always packed on weekends, this review focuses on my experience eating at the bar. My Overall Rating - 3 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Nick and Sam's is dark and trendy. It's perfect for date nights and celebrations. Dress to impress, because everyone here is pretty. There's an open kitchen next to the bar, which has lots of seating including side chairs. There's also a couple of TV's (college football was on TV on my Saturday visit). This place is very classy. 1 Star. Service - Nick and Sam's is known for its amazing servers in their dining room, and their bartenders are just as great. If you want to eat at the bar (I did), they'll give you a placemat, silverware, and a plate. They even sliced my steak right at the bar. Seriously, the service is so outstanding. 1 Star. Food - For the first time, my steak at Nick & Sam's was underwhelming. The 22 oz Cowboy Ribeye (bone-in) was perfectly grilled, but it was a little bland and not as tender as my previous visits. Now granted, I didn't order off the A5 or Wagyu menu, but I would expect the normal prime cuts to be better. My side (elotes) was good if you like mayonnaise. It was a little too strong for me, so I didn't take anything home. Overall, still a quality meal, but at Nick & Sam's I expect the best. 1/2 Star. Will I Return? - Only on special occasions. There are so many great steak restaurants in Dallas, and the cost of dining out continues to rise, so Nick & Sam's becomes a place I'd go to only on special occasions. 1/2 Stars. read more

Just visited Nick & Sam's for the first time to celebrate my granddaughter's 12th birthday. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. We chose the dry-aged Tomahawk, which came with burnt ends that were awful. The sautéed spinach was overly salty, and the au gratin potatoes were edible but definitely subpar. Service was mediocre at best. At one point, a waiter accidentally spilled a drink on my daughter. I understand that accidents happen, and I made the manager aware of it simply so they knew what had occurred. Overall, for a restaurant at this price point and with its reputation, I expected much more--especially for a special family birthday celebration. For me, I'll stick with Pappas. read more

Made reservations for a Saturday night at 7 during restaurant week. Parking was a little confusing very tight and valet was a small area. Once inside it was very dark at the front and had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated. Once we were taken to our seats I noticed how nice the restaurant was decorated. Our waiter Tyler, hope I'm spelling his name right was amazing. Once he found out it was our first time he gave us a presentation of all the meats which was a nice touch. There is so much to choose from on the regular menu. I ordered from the restaurant week menu and my husband ordered from the regular menu. Everything was so good. My favorite was the bacon Mac n cheese. I will be back for the great service. read more

I went for restaurant week. I sat in the bar lounge. The waitress was very attentive. I went with the peach and prosciutto salad, and the filet. It was so tender. Sides included mac and cheese and brussel sprouts. For dessert, which I got to-go, butter cake. The raspberry sauce was place on top instead of on the side with it being to-go. For that reason, ended up not eating it the next day. Quite a unique take on butter cake, however. read more

We found this restaurant through Chase Sapphire Reserve recommendations. I am so glad that we gave it a chance and didn't listen to the Yelp reviews. We had the most amazing dinner starting with mocktails and cocktails at the bar. Then we were moved to our table. Jaycee, our waiter was super knowledgeable and so sweet. We ordered the Wagyu platter table side, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and the corn. The food was amazing but we couldn't eat it all. There was no room for dessert but I wish we saved room because the dessert looked insane. read more

went here for restaurant week and the food was pretty good. it was a bit frustrating as it was a 30 minute wait but I understand it was restaurant week. the steak was cooked perfectly but lacked seasoning.. as did the mac and cheese. the brussels were absolutely delish they had like this smoky teriyaki flavor. we'd come here again though and try their full menu! read more

We came here for my birthday and we had a great time except for the beginning. This place is more like a 3.5 out of 5 stars. What i didn't like was the fact that they made it a big deal when i was wearing sweatpants, saying how this place was business casual.... but when we got seated, we saw multiple individuals wearing sport jerseys, regular tshirts and or crocs. Not sure if those same individuals got the same speech as me. As for the service and the food, both were excellent. We got seated, and they brought out different cuts of meats to showcase the selection. Shortly after they bought out table side bread and caviar. I was kinda shocked they were serving caviar, but i guess that is built into the price of the items on the menu. As mentioned, service was really good. They constantly came by to check in on us. Most of the steak entrees were about 60 bucks. We ended up getting the 26 oz PRIME AGED PORTERHOUSE to share between two people. As for the sides, we ended up getting duck duck mac, potatoes au gratin and the broccolini. The steak was prepared very nicely, and they came out and cut it for us. As for the sides, the best one was the potatoes au gratin. We also got dessert, which is on a separate menu and that was very good as well. This place also serves seafood, sushi and cuts of wagyu. I believe valet is complimentary. All in all, if they didn't bring up the business casual comment in the beginning, this place would be more like a 4.5 out of 5 stars. read more

went again and i think i've figured out Nick & Sam's for me: ppl def come here for the vibe, cocktails, and steak. at least that's what i would come here for lol. honestly, the ambiance and service carry this place A LOT. the decor, lighting, energy, and music are really what make Nick & Sam's feel like Nick & Sam's. the music literally makes u wanna go out after dinner lol. service has also always been solid in my experience. it definitely feels like you're coming here for the whole night-out experience rather than just the food. food-wise, i think this place can be pretty hit or miss depending on what u order. starting with the bread... mid af the butter especially tasted so cheap and low quality. like how are we at Nick & Sam's and the butter is giving walmart. bread and butter should be the easiest layup at a steakhouse. Tokyo Collins was a lil sweet for me but yum. really liked the flavor combo overall. Barbie was also yum. foie gras was actually pretty good. the Asian spin on it made it much more enjoyable for me and helped balance out the richness. ngl the whole time i was eating it i kept thinking the flavors would make a really good foie gras nigiri dish lol. broccolini was LOWKEY one of my favorites?? soft, flavorful, and cooked really well. the leafy parts were surprisingly spicy though. Mishima Reserve ribeye was definitely the star and probably what i'd come back for. really good, flavorful, and just a very enjoyable steak. unfortunately i was already so full by the time i got to it that i couldn't appreciate it to its full extent but even then, def very solid. salmon nigiri was mid. i was expecting more from it considering i've had their crispy tuna rice before and thought that was pretty good. wouldn't bother ordering the salmon nigiri again. cheesecake was surprisingly a good combo too. the ice cream really helped bring everything together. cheesecake itself was super thick and rich with a decent smooth texture, but i didn't think there was much depth to the actual cheesecake flavor. between how sweet, rich, and heavy it was, i could only take a few bites before i was done. overall, i think the food alone would leave me more underwhelmed considering the reputation and price point. there are definitely hits, especially the Mishima ribeye, but also enough misses that i wouldn't come here purely because i think the food is exceptional. where Nick & Sam's DOES deliver is the experience. the ambiance, decor, music, cocktails, and service make it a genuinely fun place to spend a night. come dressed up, get drinks, order a good steak, and enjoy the energy. that's where i think the place makes the most sense. but that Mishima ribeye? yeah i'd come back for that. read more

We ordered: - Mishima Reserve Filet - Mishima Reserve Ribeye - Maine Lobster Mac N Cheese - Crab Cake - Red Crab Elote - Red Velvet Cake. I'm not a big steak person, so splitting was definitely a good idea. No complaints with the filet or the ribeye. In terms of sides, elote was better than Mac N Cheese. Red Velvet Cake was fine, but we really only got it because it felt like a must birthday tradition for the restaurant. I didn't like the crab cake. They had valet parking. Ambiance was nice, great place to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. Service was excellent, very attentive staff. read more

Time for an update, it's been five years after all! This visit was to host my husband's employees + significant others for a Merry Christmas + Thank You dinner. Service was good, although the waitstaff seemed like they were at the end of their shifts, not the beginning. The interactions were very formal and not personable or friendly. The noise level is already higher than normal so it's hard to hear and the waitstaff seemed frustrated we couldn't hear them. The food and drinks were enjoyed by all and everything not only tasted wonderfully, it was plated with eye-catching appeal. Most at the table chose steaks, but there was one order for the American Red Snapper and one for the Sam's Chopped Salad. They both looked incredible and the salad was huge! I chose the Grass Fed Australian Filet 8 oz was seasoned perfectly and was delicious! I also ordered the Roasted Brussel Sprouts - they were just okay, soggy and mostly tasting of garlic. I wouldn't get them again. I would however get the (appetizers) Calamari, Bang Bang Broccoli and Deviled Eggs again - they were incredible!! One cannot come to Nick & Sam's and not get dessert - they are larger than life! Each person at our table seemed to order something different and each person cleaned their plate. We ordered the Cotton Candy for the table and it was a quite the spectacle - everyone loved it. I haven't had cotton candy in 20yrs so I thought I'd try some - it was delicious! The cake balls on the base of the stand were some of the best I've ever had. Overall the evening was a success. We all enjoyed our food and drinks and the atmosphere was cozy too. TIP: bring cash to tip valet and for coat check too HEAD's UP: the noise level is louder than most places and the lights are always dimmed, so plan accordingly read more

Made a Friday 8pm reservation several weeks in advance. Arrived a couple minutes before 8, checked in and was offered complimentary champagne. We were not sat until 9:20pm (1hr 20 min later), which is completely unacceptable really at any restaurant but especially a $250+pp establishment. Maybe a 20 minute wait is comped with a glass of champagne, but nearly 1.5 hours?? Several other couples that were there before us complained to the host. When we did, the host was shocked we had been waiting for so long and said a manager would come talk to us. After getting seated, we had a wonderful waitress and meal. Tableside caviar service, west and east coast oysters, tender octopus, soft bread service, an amazing bottle of Faust cab and two prime steaks. Loved the booth, lively atmosphere and decor. I see the hype, but the wait was absolutely unacceptable and although our waiter apologized, we never heard from a manager. There are other elevated steakhouses that I will go to instead. read more

We came here for a birthday celebration! We decided just to order appetizers and sides: Calamari - it had the flavor but over fried Oxtail hummus - it did have the flavor of the oxtail but it was very salty Brussels sprouts - had the flavor but the Brussels sprouts needed to be a little more crispy Jumbo Onion Rings-this was huge and very crispy Oysters Rockefeller - very salty but tasty Grilled octopus - not what I had expected, very very salty, we had to send this one back Fries and Sweet potatoe fries - they were good and crispy, but still need to dip in ketchup! After all the hype on their desserts, we ordered the 7 layered Red Velvet, it was delicious and moist! I definitely would just go back and try their desserts! One thing, the service is amazing! We also got the complimentary caviar! It was very loud in the dining, you can't really hear yourself talk! read more

Was told that Nick and Sam's was an institution in Dallas dining. That I had not had a meal until I've eaten there. Well, now I've been there. Big party. Like 20 of us. Restaurant was dead when we arrived. Modestly busy when we left. Lots of pretty people and a few local celebrities. Very dark, old school style steakhouse. 20 people so we basically tried everything. I don't recall a single noteworthy appetizer. I had a wedge salad and it was not as good as a sad chain restaurant. Lots of steaks, some seafood, and other entrees. I had salmon. Was edible but I didn't finish it. Spice forward and couldn't taste the fish. Tried a few steaks and nothing to warrant the trip. Also no local steaks or chops were advertised. Really wanted to wrap early so I could find a light dinner someplace else in town. Service was very attentive. Half annoyed and half respect the hustle when the tried to upsell magnums of wine off a reserve list that topped out at $24k when we were on our 3-4th bottle of wine. The locals that recommended it apologized to the table when we were leaving. Too many good places in Dallas to come back anytime soon and seems to be surviving and thriving off their legacy. But if we saw their best... woof. read more

Had a lovely evening at Nick & Sam's ... At first I was skeptical regarding the low ratings on Yelp, but I was impressed with my Weekday experience. Making a reservation was a breeze. Getting there was a bit concerning as parking is at a premium. Although the complementary valet took care of that for us. We were seated right away, even though we arrived about 10-minutes early. Our reservation was at 7:30pm. My first impression entering the dining hall was, WOW ... This is packed, and not just with patrons. Yes ... the tables have been placed a bit closer than I'd like. Hardly any space for servers to move around comfortably. And it was loud. Having gotten past that, the service was awesome, although a bit rushed at the beginning. We kicked it off with some Vino [$$s] and drinks and some appetizers. The Bang Bang Broccoli is a must have. The crab cakes were Meh ! For dinner, we were presented with a variety of prime cuts. Honestly, I was wondering if I would be grossed out, but it was well presented and explained. We ordered the Dry age 16oz NY Strip and the Salmon. This was my first time trying a Dry age steak ... The jury is out for me on that one. While the tastes were flavorful, they weren't as juicy as I like my steaks. Honestly, I'd like to try a dry-age steak a few more time, before I go back to regular programming :-) Family sized sharing sides were the Augratin and the Brussel Sprouts ... DO NOT miss on the Brussel Sprouts .. They were AWESOME... Other than the super packed space, the noisier than normal sound levels, and the dry-age NY strip ... all in all, we had a great time .. I wanted to meet w/Chef Samir, but he was off that day. I'd be going back there soon, may be even try Chef Samir's Butter chicken :-D read more

Their ribeye steak is delicious. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The service was everything! I have zero complaints. The restaurant decor is really nice and the overall ambiance is perfect for a date night or when celebrating something. I only knocked it down one star because you may still wait 30+ minutes for a table even with a reservation. read more

We had a 7:30 PM reservation on a Saturday night to celebrate my boyfriend and I's anniversary. We arrived early, around 7:20, to check in. Around 7:45, we overheard the front staff mention to another customer that their system was down, which affected table seating. We understand that technical issues can happen, so we continued to wait patiently. We were not seated until around 8:10 PM, and there was no acknowledgment or apology for the delay. Once seated, service initially moved quickly. Our server explained the menu, we ordered right away, and we enjoyed some delicious cocktails. A manager also came by to check in, which we appreciated, and at that point, everything seemed to be going well. Our food arrived soon after, and we treated ourselves to the 48-oz prime-aged porterhouse along with a few sides, all of which were good. Things slowed significantly when it came to dessert. Our server did not return for quite some time, long enough for us to consider skipping dessert altogether, but since it was our anniversary we still decided to order the celebration cake. The cake arrived as expected, but given the occasion, we had hoped for a sparkler or a something to make the moment feel special. Nothing additional was provided. We took most of it to-go and asked for our check. When the check arrived, we noticed a ~$95 bottle of wine that we had not ordered. We informed our server, who confirmed it was a mistake and provided an updated receipt. Unfortunately, this added to an already disappointing ending to the evening. We left shortly after, around 10:20 PM. This is the first time in all of our anniversaries that a restaurant has not mentioned or done anything to provide a premium dining experience for a special occasion. Due to the high price point, lack of attention to detail, and absence of the care we expected for such a meaningful celebration, I do not recommend Nick & Sam's. read more

Disappointing Easter Brunch Experience We had a very frustrating experience during Easter Brunch. Despite making our reservation through OpenTable over a month in advance for 1:00 PM, we were not seated until 3:00 PM. It was incredibly disheartening to see families with later reservations--some as late as 1:30--being seated ahead of us. The host seemed to be choosing which families to seat based on personal preference, which only added to the confusion and frustration. To make matters worse, when we were finally seated, another family was also scheduled to be placed at our same table, adding to the chaos. Thankfully, the management team, along with Cole Dhurandhar from Guest Relations, stepped in to address the issue. We're truly grateful for their efforts in calming the situation and doing what they could to make things right. As for the food, it was a mixed experience. Some items had clearly been sitting in the buffet trays too long and ended up mushy or overcooked. On a positive note, the sushi was freshly prepared, and the dessert bar offered a nice variety of options. As far as the ambiance it's was a packed house but they did manage to have an Easter Bunny walking around. read more

Over hyped. Overly expensive. Underwhelming .I was really excited to come here for my anniversary, it was still a good time because my company, however the service was really great ,and professional. However , the food did not hit . The best thing that we had was the appetizers. the sides LOBSTER Mac and cheese.. tasted no lobster , CRAB elote .. it wasn't even hint of crab meat . The steak was good .... However I have eaten better at the mercury for half the cost . Also 6 dollars for a fizzless watered down coke zero is quite absurd if you ask me . Lastly the restaurant is gorgeous lots of rooms and art work however , the tables are jammed backed , they have a table for four on a small square table and it's crowded with just cups then we sat in the back between two tables we were so close to the others we mine as well ate together, I should not have to hear why Barbara and Mary don't talk to each other any more , or hear the other table order their food . And they have this thing were the servers do a show and tell if the menu , it's cute but kinda unnecessary because we were ready to order by the time the waiter came with the show and tell of all the steaks .. that's clearly on the menu with the prices and everything... It's cute that they come up with the king crab and show it off but seriously 1,000 dollars I could get a king crab and cook it myself. Anyway it was nice but only for a one time experience. read more

What can I say about Nick and Sam's? I've been wanting to come here for about 5 years now. I decided to make a reservation when I saw they were on the DFW restaurant week itinerary and thought it would be a great place to celebrate my daughter's 17th birthday. I can't believe I haven't been there sooner! My daughter and I arrived at 4:30 and were seated promptly. The hostess sprinkled some confetti around our table which was a nice added touch. Our server was Edmund and he was phenomenal! I mentioned to him when we were seated that we were there for the DFW restaurant week. He said he would find out for me. One of the managers, Ben, came and explained it didn't start till the following week. I was embarrassed because I had done a reservation for that week and had to move it to Saturday due to other engagements and it had slipped my mind that my new reservation was not during restaurant week. Ben was so professional and brought out a glass of champagne and apple cider for my daughter and me even though it was my mistake! We ordered the steak tartare and it was amazing. Both my daughter and I are allergic to truffles and truffle oil (bummer I know!). They were able to accommodate us and make the steak tartare without either. The brioche bread fried in tallow accompanying the steak tartare. OH MY GOSH! One of the best I've tried! My compliments to the chef. We order the Mishima Ribeye- medium rare. Amazing! The broccolini was so sooo good! My daughter wanted the "damn good" fries and she said they were exactly like they were titled. We also ordered the Maine Lobster Mac and cheese and neither my daughter nor I cared for it. It tasted to fishy. I let Edmund know and he returned it back to the kitchen. The chef insisted we try the 4 cheese Mac and cheese and I implored that we were okay without the Mac and cheese. They insisted we try it and we did and it just didn't have the right taste. I would suggest they use a cavatappi noodle and a thicker béchamel sauce. The whole staff went above and beyond. When our main meal was served, there was probably 4 or 5 people plating our meal and overseeing that it was to our liking. Waylon, another one of the managers, came to our table as well to ask how everything was going. I was blown away by how attentive everyone was. I will definitely be back again. read more

OMG! I've traveled the world over and of the thousands of places I've been on 3 different continents, this was Top 2! Right at the top! We made reservations (recommended). They seated us promptly and we were right across the aisle from the piano. There were definitely some romantic moments spent. We had our drinks right away and then held a special short ceremony right next to the piano. I asked the pianist if he could play us a special song. He turned to his left and asked his assistant to print up the sheet music. Right then and there! As he started playing we danced. Now this restaurant doesn't have a dance floor but there was enough room for us to do our slow dance. We returned to our table and they brought us flutes of Champaign. Dinner, we ordered the Cateaubriand to share. Roasted Brussels sprouts and onions, mushrooms and small potatoes. It was beyond delicious! We were so stuffed. But after paying the check (with a handsome and well deserved tip) and as we were getting ready to leave, they brought us a bag that held a huge piece of cotton candy cake. There was no way we could eat it as the portions of the chateaubriand were far more than generous. So we took it home and enjoyed the mouth watering and frankly unexpectedly delicious cake. I don't know why we were surprised, everything had been world class, from the service to the dance, the incredible chateaubriand (which I cannot recommend highly enough - and it's built for 2), the champaign and the cake. As we were leaving, the general manager came out and I was able to personally compliment him on such an incredible and world-class experience. He was very gracious and I will tell you.... We will be going back. You can bet on it. While it's not cheap, it's worth every penny you pay and more. If you're ever in Dallas, give these guys a call. You won't regret it, in fact it may turn out to be the same lifetime memory we're already experiencing. This is a must for anyone looking for a top notch steakhouse. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. Simply marvelous. I cannot praise them highly enough. I look forward to being able to write them another review. Most sincerely, Marty PS. It's even better than I said above. Make your reservations now read more

I do not understand the appeal of this place. We went for a birthday celebration, which I will acknowledge, they made a huge deal out of so they definitely made the celebrant feel good. We also had a wonderful server who did his best to be fun and accommodating. Food was fine, but lets be honest, there are a million good steakhouses in Dallas. I could have had this food in 50 different environments. And I wish I was in one of those other 50. To start, the place is very loud and very crowded. The tables are so close that you can barely walk through the dining room. And then, apparently as a table of 2 we got put in the back dungeon. Now, on one hand this was good, because it was certainly quieter (not quiet), but on the other hand, one of us was forced to stare at a wall throughout dinner while the other got to take in the room. No less than 3 couples that were sat next to us asked to move because the seating was so bad. I guess we were just suckers and stayed. And this may be a nit, but if I am going to a higher end dinner I would like a place to put my purse. Purse tree, stool, hook, anything. I ended up hanging my little bag from the back of my chair (I realize not safe) to have it whacked by everyone who walked by. I didn't want to sit there with it on my lap. Lastly, I would comment that we paid a full 30% more for a bottle of the exact wine that I purchased at Mister Charles the weekend before. What was I paying a premium for? The chaotic atmosphere? The cramped dining room. I will return to Mister Charles, I will not return to Nick & Sams. read more

Didn't have a good experience for my birthday, to be honest. We were not taken care of like everyone else did. We were basically ignored.

8/21/2025 Great atmosphere and staff. This was the first time in my "dining career" that the raw steak and seafood presentation smelled like rancid meat. There is no excuse for that. I have enjoyed hundreds of these displays throughout the country and I have never experienced a smell like that. Since I know the displayed meat is not for consumption, I had no problem ordering anyway. The food here, simply put, is basic. The upscale show they put on does not match the value of the dinner itself. Trust me, when I spend over $700 for a meal, my goal is definitely to enjoy it. I am not a critic. I'm just a guy who will spend tons of cash for great food to enter my body. I am in no means complicated. The menu is creative and fun, but the meat isn't unique or even worth all the fuss. The sides couldn't even compete with a mid level chain. Some restaurants continue to function beyond their expired reputation... but nobody checks the label. read more

If you're going to Nick and Sam's you're really going for the ambiance , service and hot spot that it is !! All are impeccable. The food is really good but not up to par with other Steakhouses in that caliber for the price. We tried all the recommendations made for appetizers , sides and mains. Crab cakes, calamari , carpaccio, porterhouse , broccolini, and garlic mashed potatoes. Overall, solid food for expensive prices in a well known hot spot !! read more

If I were to rate N&S off of ambiance, food, and service - it would be 4 stars. It's a good staple spot. But after what I saw tonight, I won't be coming back. While hosting a dinner at Nick & Sam's tonight, one of our guests brought to my attention the Adolf Hitler mural on the wall. I proceeded to Google it to confirm that the caricature was indeed who we thought it was and it was confirmed. I've been here several times and have always considered this establishment a "staple". A place I would visit and bring guests to often. But no more. As my friend sat there facing this mural throughout dinner, he was reminded of how his grandmother was sent to a concentration camp, of the trauma that people in Europe still carry from one of the darkest periods in history. He told me that if a mural like this existed in his country, people would stand up and walk out immediately. To classify this as a "conversation piece" is deeply disturbing. This restaurant is extremely popular, and (myself included) many customers may not even notice what's portrayed on the walls. While Nick & Sam's has regularly provided what I look for in a dining experience, I will not be returning. It broke my heart to think that my friend sat there through his entire dinner and felt pain, discomfort, and distress in a place meant for joy and hospitality. I sincerely hope you reconsider the presence of this mural and the message it sends, intentionally or not, to your guests. Some symbols do not belong in a space where people gather to celebrate, connect, and enjoy a meal. read more

Location Wolf and Maple-uptown/Oaklawn area. Parking Valet, lot ( small) Atmosphere Ultra classy-the birthday decor was AMAZING! The artwork is odd in the bar area-a female with tongue outstretched to an orchid-? Another is a woman kissing a snake purse and a live snake on the purse-?! Odd. For birthdays-large balloons with light up strings. See pictures. The music is incredibly loud. Seating Open at bar-high tops for groups, booths., low tables, private rooms available Service Outstanding-immediate, friendly, personable-the people beside us wanted a non-alcoholic drink that was sweet and the bar staff delivered! Menu Cocktails, wine-I didn't look past this section. Prosecco was the best ever ($16) and the Malbec was very smooth ($16). At the table nearby, they brought what looked like an eye roast and carved/ sliced it at the table. Also had mashed potato sides. Summary Classy special occasion restaurant. Odd art in bar area only.

We had the best experience celebrating my boyfriend's birthday here! From the moment we sat down, the service was incredible -- especially our waiter, Freddy, who absolutely made the night. He was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make everything perfect. The kitchen and bar were just as impressive. I don't drink, and they were so accommodating with creative, delicious mocktails that felt just as special as any cocktail. And the food... truly amazing. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The whole experience felt thoughtful, fun, and memorable. Highly recommend -- and if you can, definitely ask for Freddy! read more

On July 19, my fiancée and I had a dinner reservation at Nick & Sam's Steakhouse. We arrived early for our reservation, valet parked our car, and checked in with the hostesses. From the moment we arrived, I had an uneasy feeling, but I brushed it aside. Unfortunately, that feeling proved to be justified. While my fiancée and I were standing at the host stand waiting to be seated, a staff member approached us. At first, I assumed he was there to escort us to our table. Instead, he informed me that men are not permitted to wear hats in the dining room and that I would need to remove my "hat." The problem was that I was not wearing a hat. I was wearing a Muslim head wrap as part of my religious attire. I calmly explained that it was part of my faith, yet he continued referring to it as a "hat." I corrected him again, explaining that it was religious attire, not a fashion accessory. Despite this, he continued to dismiss what I was saying. At that point, my fiancée attempted to de-escalate the situation, but the damage had already been done. I immediately told my fiancée that we would not be dining there. I could not support an establishment where I felt my religious beliefs were being disregarded and disrespected. Before visiting, we had reviewed the restaurant's dress code, which states that guests should refrain from wearing "hats of any kind." However, a Muslim head wrap or turban is not the same as a hat. A hat is a manufactured fashion accessory, while a religious head wrap is an important expression of one's faith. There is a clear distinction, and that distinction should be recognized by staff, especially in a business that serves the public. We left without having dinner. I sincerely hope Nick & Sam's takes this as an opportunity to educate its staff on religious accommodations and cultural awareness. No guest should have to explain or defend their religious attire simply to enjoy a meal. Based on my experience, I did not feel welcomed or respected, and I cannot recommend this restaurant until meaningful changes are made. read more

I've been coming here for special occasions for several years with my family, but this was the first time my husband and I came together. We decided to spend our first anniversary dinner here, and it did not disappoint! The service is impeccable, very attentive and knowledgeable. (I believe our servers name was Tiffany, and she was amazing!) The food was delicious, our steak was perfectly cooked. We had the best seat in the house, which was a booth on the far side wall. If you have a special occasion, there's no better place in Dallas! We will be back! read more

(Trying to gain my elite status back)... This review is for November 13th '24. I cannot describe how immaculate this experience was that evening. From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left, I felt overwhelmed with how particular and excellent the service and atmosphere was. We came in on a Wednesday night, and the crowd was still extremely steady (and they claimed that was a slow night so I can only imagine a busy evening)... l did not get any photos of the entrees, but I do recall ordering Brussels sprouts, the chopped wedge salad, a nice filet, a lump crab cake, and Mac and cheese. I literally have zero complains as far as the flavors the food left on my palette either. If you have never experienced N&S, then you are certainly missing out. This place is in a leave ok their own from the moment you're seated, to the knowledge of the servers, to the food portions and flavor. 10 out of 10. read more

The food and drinks were great. I had the best Hennessey Lemon Drop to date! However what went wrong was the fact that we had an 8:30 reservation and weren't seated until around 9. I do realize it was a Friday night but that's no excuse if you require a credit card to placed on file during the reservation process. I also dont like how close the tables are. I expect a little more privacy for my date and me. Overall I will still give a 4 star rating because my waiter was good. read more
