My wife and I celebrated my 31st birthday here last Thursday with the 7-course Chef's Tasting Menu, and I genuinely don't know where to begin; it was truly an evening we will never forget. The atmosphere was romantic and intimate. The dining room was completely full but did not feel that way in the slightest. Each table is set to feel like you are in your own private world. Our server Valeria (Val) deserves a special callout, she was exceptional from start to finish. She knew every course inside and out, taking a moment to explain each plate as they came out. She spoke with such genuine confidence and a warmth that made the whole evening that much better. The best kind of service is the kind you don't have to think about, and Val nailed it. Thank you, Val. Now, the food. Seven courses of Michelin-recommended excellence, and every single one delivered but two stood out above the rest. The amuse bouche -- a single east coast oyster -- was probably the most surprising plate of the night. My wife is not an oyster person, at all, but she absolutely loved it. The flavors were so layered and vibrant that the oyster itself almost became secondary. If you don't typically enjoy oysters I implore you to give this one a shot, we could have ordered a dozen more if we didn't have a full menu ahead of us. Course One, the Beef Tartare was equally stunning -- both in presentation and in flavor. Bold, balanced, and unlike anything either of us had tasted before. While these plates stood out, the entire menu was incredible from start to finish. This was our first tasting menu experience and Stillwell's has set the bar high for any that come after. Stillwell's isn't just a great steakhouse. It's an experience. If you're celebrating something meaningful, or even if you just want a truly world-class dinner, do yourself a favor and book the tasting menu. You won't regret it. read more

We were getting ready to leave town and fly back to LA, but we could not leave Dallas without coming to Stillwell one more time. Called Derek, the GM, and he took care of us. Three visits, three outstanding experiences. Derek is a genuinely great guy with a great staff. It felt like we had our own private dining experience at this point. Brittany was our server this time and handled everything well. I went with the hanger steak and did not even need a steak knife to cut through it. My friend ordered the oxtail, and he is picky. He usually avoids it because he says he always ends up disappointed. He was not disappointed at Stillwell. We had the baby kale salad again and got the cheesecake to go. Three times in one trip and every visit delivered. I am coming back, and next time I am bringing my wife. Five stars. - read more

Stillwell's was absolutely amazing! We lived it from the moment we walked into the beautiful Swexan hotel. Tomas was a spectacular server. He was knowledgeable and very personable. Everyone on the staff was the conssumate professional and made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed tuna and tartare and the best steak tartare Ice ever had. The steaks, especially the dry aged filet, were cooked to perfection and we also had the oxtail stroganoff as a side. We tried the bananas foster and the pear tart and they were pretty good as well. I will also recommend trying all of the cocktails, especially the Summers End. This place is sexy, fun, and the keen attention to detail pushed it over the top. 20/10 read more

If you're looking to celebrate a special occasion this is your place. Our server and the entire staff were so friendly and attentive, they truly made my boyfriend and I feel special. We did the Chef's Tasting Menu and I'm so glad that we did. Everything was truly incredible from start to finish, but the standouts to me were the Tartare, Beef Dumplings, and HWD 6oz Filet I mean wow even just writing this review my mouth is watering. The flavors and quality were out of this world, they're more than deserving of that Michelin star. The cocktails were incredible and you really can't go wrong with anything here. The interior itself is beautiful and very clean. read more

Stillwell's has officially become my favorite Dallas go-to for its perfect blend of Texas luxury and incredible service. You absolutely have to start with Cowboy Hour, the atmosphere is unmatched and it's the best way to kick off the evening. The beef dumplings are a total revelation, succulent, rich, and packed with flavor, but the true stars of the show are the HWD beef cuts. The quality of the Akaushi steak is world-class and cooked to absolute perfection, especially when paired with their delicious sides like the decadent truffle mac and cheese or the perfectly charred Brussels sprouts. My only small suggestion to the team would be to introduce a more refined and expansive mocktail menu to match the high level of creativity found in the rest of the bar program. read more

Walking in felt like stepping into J.R. and Bobby Ewing's private dining room. The décor is dark and moody yet grand and opulent. The bar area is separate from the formal dining room, where we were seated beside a massive, central fireplace with cowboy hats lining the walls. The vibe is pure upscale Texas cattle-ranch luxury. From the place settings to the linen tablecloths and napkins to the tuxedoed service, everything felt intentional and impeccably curated. Service was formal in the best way--they even served from the proper side each time. The attention to detail was next-level, down to removing the seeds from the lemon slices. This is truly a meat lover's paradise. No part of the cow goes to waste. Portions are generous, and even ordering only appetizers felt like a full four-course meal. The crab bake was a huge mound of fresh, buttery crab--absolutely delicious. The pork belly over grits was an excellent pairing; the grits were fluffy, creamy, and melted on the plate, while the pork belly was rich and flavorful. The bone marrow dish missed the mark for me--it arrived as a bone filled with shredded beef mixed with marrow and topped with scrambled eggs, but I was hoping for traditional marrow and bread. And the bread--fluffy, soft, and paired with incredible butter. Pace yourself. The true standout was the beef dumplings. The gravy was so good I shamelessly used the bread to soak up every last drop and nearly licked the bowl. Tomas took exceptional care of us. I stepped away for what turned into an impromptu restroom photo shoot and returned to find him waiting patiently at my seat (!!), my napkin perfectly refolded and placed back in my lap once I sat. That level of service says everything. The night ended perfectly with a decadent, moist chocolate cake for my daughter's birthday. When the check arrived, we were treated to chocolate-caramel candies that actually contain bone marrow--proof that no part of the cow goes to waste. We loved the experience and can't wait to return. read more

Food is phenomenal!!! Located within The Hotel Swexan, this steakhouse delivers Texas traditions and delectable food! Shoutout to our server, Scott! He was hospitable, professional, and extremely helpful and friendly! My cocktail, Peaches in Paradise, was smooth with just the right amount of sweetness that will sock you away, if you have too many. Now for the food..... I had the Pork Chops, and they were moist, tender, juicy, and flavorful. They were the best pork chops I've ever eaten in my life!!! Hands down, if you're a pork chop lover, I promise you that you won't be disappointed! Seriously, I've NEVER eaten something so delicious in the pork chop category. I've tasted their filet mignon, and it was a hit! It is in my top 5 category for best beef, in my life. My dessert.... The Bananas Foster. Again, this was a huge hit for me. The presentation of food is impressive. The Texas vibe is most definitely present in this restaurant! Pricey?? But, of course! But it's worth the money! Great lively atmosphere in the restaurant and the bar section. It definitely draws a crowd! Highly recommended! You snooze, you lose, if you don't make your reservations on OpenTable. Yes, I'm returning, when I'm in Texas. Definitely in my dining rotation! Cheers and Enjoy! read more

Stillwell's - Peaches in Paradise! Highly recommended!!! November 2025. - Steakhouses Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Top notch food, top notch service. And the pricing is not bad for the high quality of food. You won't get the "vibey" scene of a Catch, more of a sit down place, but the food is better. My top steakhouse in Dallas. The normal strip is actually my favorite, no need for the pricier steaks. Brussels sprouts are great as well. read more

4.8 Alright now, let me tell you about Stillwell's because whew... this place showed OUT. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and I was torn between three restaurants -- heavy debate -- but baby... I'm so glad I chose Stillwell's. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was giving elevated, warm, grown, and sexy. Not stiff. Not try-hard. Just right. They started us off with a handwritten birthday card at the table. Listen... that kind of personalized touch already lets me know the attention to detail is serious. Exquisite. Thoughtful. Classy. Now let's talk about this bread. Buttery. Soft. Served warm with room-temperature butter (as it SHOULD be). I know that may sound basic, but trust me -- too many restaurants fumble this. Never serve cold bread. Ever. Okay, soapbox over Next up: dumplings Melt-in-your-mouth tender. The sauce? Phenomenal. I almost asked for a straw, but I kept my dignity. Barely. Entrées? * Lamb shoulder -- tender, flavorful, and seasoned like somebody's auntie was in the back minding her business and cooking with love. * HWD ribeye -- perfect temperature, perfectly seasoned, no notes. Just respect. Sides came through STRONG: * Brussels sprouts -- cooked just right * Potato purée -- smooth, rich, and comforting And then... the cheesecake. Hands down, this is NOT your average dessert. Fresh, velvety, light -- it had no business being that good at the end of an already perfect meal. I was quiet for a minute, and if you know me, that says a lot. Note: Dessert should be comp'd for special occassions as a thank you! Shoutout to David, our server -- attentive, professional, and on point all night. The general manager even stopped by to wish my wife a happy birthday, which sealed the deal for me. That's how you do hospitality. And let me add this because details matter: Bathrooms were impeccable. Clean bathrooms = clean kitchen. Period. Take-home message: I'm honestly not sure why the Yelp review score isn't higher. ‍ If you're looking for tasty food, top-tier service, and an elevated ambiance, Stillwell's is that girl. We'll definitely be back. read more

Had such an amazing anniversary experience at Stillwell's! They provided us with a very sweet hand written card at our table thanking us for celebrating with them which was such a nice touch. Both the service and food were so good. The Parker house rolls are delicious and the crab cake was amazing. The steak also did not disappoint. It was so buttery and had the perfect cook to it. Honestly, such a good place to celebrate a special occasion or just go for a nice dinner. read more

My girlfriend and I visited Stillwell's last night for our 2 year anniversary and had a great experience! The food was phenomenal and the service was great. Our waiter, Tomas went above and beyond to ensure our experience was one to remember. I didn't catch the manger's name, but she was very accommodating with our Harwood gift card that seemed to be giving their internal systems an error. The ambience in Stillwell's is great for a romantic date night! We started with the beef dumplings which I would highly recommend (the sauce they are covered in blew us away). Shared the kale salad which was a nice palette cleanser. Split the 12 oz Harwood beef filet which was cooked to perfection. Ended with the chocolate cake which was HUGE read more

Andres was a phenomenal server, the food melts in your mouth, the flavors are expertly paired , the wine is decedent and delicious and Beef dumplings w sauce - this stuff melted IN MY MOUTH. IT WAS SO GOOD. The flavors melded together well, the beef falls apart in your mouth, juicy and delicious, it melts into the sauce like room temp butter on a hot pan. They give you complimentary bread and butter. Now let me tell you: that bread was so freakin good , i had to close my eyes and clench my fists. it's fluffy, savory, soft, chewy. I'd come back for the bread alone. Softest bread ever. Then my 12 oz filet mignon came out, cooked medium and of course, the steak melts in your mouth. The sauce is a mix of A1 and something sweet. The steak itself is well cooked. I got medium because that's how you should be eating your steaks. I ordered 3 sides: Brussel sprouts, loaded baked potato, and Mac n cheese. The brussel sprouts taste soooo good ! The flavor is amazing, my man doesn't even like Brussel sprouts and he said they tasted so good. The loaded baked potato was pretty typical , it tasted good but it's not heavily seasoned. The Mac n cheese was Suuuuper delicious and kinda thick. It's like 4 diff cheeses, has a real unique flavor profile that wasn't my favorite but i still give it high marks because of the actual taste and how well it was prepared. Our server, Andres, was very attentive, hospitable, helpful when i wanted to figure out what wine i wanted to pair with my steak. I chose the Bordeaux that Andres recommended and it paired perfectly with my steak. He was funny as well as prompt. Overall my visit was a 10/10 , everything tasted great, the atmosphere was perfect for my birthday dinner / date, the servers were attentive and very knowledgeable. I can't wait to come back ! read more

My friend and I decided to celebrate Galentine's Day here and we were thoroughly disappointed. To point out the highlights - they offer valet (tips), the restaurant (bar side) is decorated with a Texas twist, and they offer a variety of cocktails, wine, and other liberations for you to enjoy. The customer service was very overwhelming as we had multiple individuals coming to our table throughout the night - drink/food orders, check ups, etc. Although, we did appreciate the attentiveness they offered it resulted in a confusing dining experience. We ordered multiple appetizers for the table - tuna crudo, beef dumplings, and lobster bisque. We did enjoy the dumplings and lobster bisque but the crudo was lacking. We were expecting more of a citrus flavoring instead of the sesame oil which was overpowering. For my dinner, I ordered seared scallops and sides for the table - creamed corn, roasted mushrooms - and my friend ordered brussel sprouts and crispy potato salad and for her dinner - ora king salmon. The tastiness of the side was expected but they could've came out a little hotter (temperature). The brussel sprouts had a good crispness and sauce layered on top and I was pleasantly surprised by the crispy potato salad as the flavoring was good. I was content with the creamed corn and mushrooms. The scallops had a crisp top layer (which is nice) but offered a salty aftertaste and I didn't enjoy the sweet potato purée it came it. Again, everything was lukewarm. My friend unfortunately didn't enjoy her salmon or the side it came with - bean salad - as she mentioned the mushiness of it. We finished with a strawberry cheesecake for dessert and my friend had to send it back due to not enjoying it. The night ended with my card being charged 4 times due to the waiter's confusion! One waiter brought our checks and we provided our cards but another waiter completed the transactions. Currently, I have $594.30 pending on my account and $265.21, of that, is from another customer's check that the waiter ran MY card on. This made for a TERRIBLE ending to already mediocre night. I'll definitely be watching my account to make sure all the charges fall off and the correct charge is posted. Unfortunately, I wont return here. read more

We tried this place for dinner and had a good time. We arrived about 30 min ahead of reservation, so we headed to the lounge area for a cocktail. They have a wide selection of cocktails, a great bourbon selection, and the bartenders were friendly. The main dining room is spacious and had romantic lighting. When we arrived at our table, we had a hand-signed card wishing us a happy anniversary. The complimentary bread and butter was tasty. I enjoyed my strip steak and my wife loved her filet. Since we were full from the great meal and decided against a dessert, the waiter gave us a complimentary glass of champagne for our anniversary. Awesome customer service. The food was delicious. Service was on the slower side, but they were busy. read more

We ate dinner outside, which was nice as it was a nice night out ( and they had outdoor heaters). I had the best filet mignon in my life! Nice outside black char and when they give you a knife with no jaggged edge, you know you are in for either a mistake by the waiter, or a great piece of meat. The meat was tender and flavorful and could not have been better. THey also have a home made type of A1 sauce that compliments the steak, nicely. It has a very light sweet almost soy/A1 taste that pairs well with it. Great service. Worth the money. read more

What an absolute joke. You would think a steakhouse with a Michelin star would be able to cook a medium well steak. Instead we got close to a rare steak. What an awful experience and the rest of the food was at best mediocre. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this place. read more

This was my second time back celebrating a special occasion and I can't rave about this restaurant enough. The food is absolutely amazing, specially the Harwood filet mignon with black truffle butter. I quite literally couldn't stop thinking about it since my initial visit back in March. The service is truly top tier - the whole staff masters both professionalism and friendliness. Nick and Jenna took care of us on our anniversary and truly made our second experience memorable. To top it all off, the ambiance is the perfect match for a special occasion - the music and the lighting is just right, with unique details all around giving it a signature charm. Dining at a place of this caliber is delicacy for us and we truly appreciate the effort that everyone at Stillwell's puts into making it a special night. read more

Stillwell's - Harwood Filet Mignon with black truffle butter - Steakhouses Near Me - Dallas, Texas

When I think of a restaurant like Stillwell's, I think classic ambiance, elevated food, and incredible service -- and when all three are delivered this well, the result is a truly memorable dining experience. Located on the 7th floor of the Swexan, Stillwell's is the epitome of class and elegance paired with great food and good vibes. Service is a standout here -- and a key factor in this review. With Michelin now in Texas, I honestly believe Stillwell's could be a contender for a star based on their attentive, polite, and highly knowledgeable staff. It's no surprise they were awarded a 2024 Bib Gourmand -- a well-deserved recognition in itself. Most impressively, their service strikes the perfect balance: refined without being pretentious, which I deeply appreciated. As for the food? It never disappoints. I highly recommend starting with the beef dumplings -- they are out of this world. For my main course, I ordered the 16oz Delmonico ribeye, and it was hands down one of the best ribeyes I've ever had. The presentation was clean and understated, but you can elevate your steak even further with a variety of toppings and sauces. I chose the black truffle butter, which was a perfect complement to an already buttery, tender cut of meat. Whether you're planning a date night or dining with a group, Stillwell's is an experience worth having. This is a standout spot that truly gets it right. read more

Stillwell's - 16oz Delmonico Ribeye - Steakhouses Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I was celebrating my birthday with family and friends. We ordered a variety of starters and entree's. The starters were crab cake , chargrilled oysters, dumplings , tuna tartar. Dumplings were good. The rest was mediocre. I ordered my entree salmon medium rare and I was very specific about the way I ordered, however, it came out well done. They tried to correct it and it came out under done the second time. I didn't want to send it a third time so I switched to the scallops which were so AMAZING!!! We also ordered the lobster Mac and Brussel sprouts and both sides were very tasty. The reason why I would go back is because my server David, Derrick and Jordan managers were so AWESOME and my service was impeccable. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. Sometimes it's the food and bad service but in this case it was definitely the best service and good food,not great food. It deserves a second shot. Oh! Ambience was also a plus. Great for a date night. read more

One of the best well balanced dinners we've had in Dallas. Unsure what to expect due to the ratings but I am so glad we went. The SERVICE was phenomenal-- some of the best in Dallas. Attentive, knowledgeable, kind, and I mean from the hostess, wait staff, hotel, no notes here. We felt welcomed and taken care of from everyone that touched our table. Here is what we ordered: Two sides: Mac and cheese (add the crab) it was shells with the right about of cheese and flavor. Great quality. Really good. Brussels sprouts were almost flash fried and crispy with great flavor. They're tossed in a sweet soy glaze with peppers and pork belly-- perfection. We aren't big Brussels sprout folks and this was probably our favorite we've had anywhere. Entrees: Pork Chop: THIS pork chop. Gosh it's the best I've had in Dallas. Came out HOT. We've gone to a lot of places and it was charred, but juicy, flavorful with just the right about of fat, thick, enough for two but you won't want to share. I love it MORE than the steak and that is saying something cause they have a special beef program with Harwood here. HWD Ribeye steak: a very classic ribeye. We didn't pair with any butter or toppings but it was good. What you'd expect from a steak at a Dallas steak house. Solid choice. The bread! It was also so good. Came out warm. It's like a brioche milk bread. So fluffy, pull apart, good quality butter. Could also have taken some home. The dessert. We never get a good peanut butter dessert at fine dining establishments and this the perfect way to end our dinner. Now, they do get ya on water haha which you know Evian and pellegrino, you'll be charged, but we had someone (not our waiter) replace our water without asking and we were charged almost $30 just for water. We were celebrating and the food was good along with service so I left it alone. All in all, would definitely come back again. Great experience. read more

This was my first time at Stillwell's over Valentine's weekend. The atmosphere was beautiful--very nice and upscale. The staff was extremely friendly, attentive, and accommodating. I would definitely give the ambiance, service, and drinks a 5 out of 5. However, the food was very disappointing. I would give it a 2. My husband spent $600 for three of us, and for that price, we expected much more. I ordered the double pork chop, and it was VERY bland--no real seasoning or spices at all. The sides were just average and nothing special to mention. To be completely honest, we had just come from Texas Roadhouse for a quick group dinner, and the flavor there was far better overall than what we experienced at Stillwell's. For a restaurant at this price point, the food simply did not meet expectations. read more

We had an excellent dinner at Stillwell's. Barbara did a wonderful job as our server. We started with The Deviled Eggs, They were excellent with the slices of Prosciutto on them. The Tuna Crudo was excellent was well. Their Wedge Salad and the Dill Cheddar Rolls were very tasty too. For our main course, we had The Sea Bass and 10 oz Filet with Vodoo Saice. The Onion Rings were a little off but they use a gluten free batter for it. The Creamed Corn was excellent as well. We finished with the Chocolate Cake for dessert. The atmosphere was pretty cool but we did eat in The Lounge instead of the main Dining Room. The Service was excellent. You should head down to the Bar in the basement called Babou's. We would definitely go again. read more

My boyfriend and I love trying new steakhouses, and we decided this place would be perfect for my birthday -- and it absolutely was. From the moment we walked into the hotel, everyone was so kind and respectful. They even offer free valet parking, which made things so convenient. I also loved the personal touch of a handwritten birthday note waiting for me -- such a thoughtful surprise! Our server was incredibly attentive and accommodating. I mentioned being cold, and they brought me a blanket right away, which was perfect. Every time someone stopped by our table, they asked whose birthday it was, which made the evening feel extra special. The overall atmosphere was calm and elegant -- the music was a bit loud at first, but I think they noticed and turned it down. There's also a lovely outdoor balcony if you want a more relaxed vibe. The free bread at the start was amazing -- soft, warm, and flaky. Our server suggested dipping it into the sauce from the beef dumplings, and honestly, that might've been our favorite recommendation of the night. For appetizers, we had the beef dumplings and steak tartare. My boyfriend loved the tartare -- he's tried quite a few, and he said this might be his favorite now. The dumplings were savory and generously filled; my only small note is that I expected a richer, gravy-style sauce, but it leaned more creamy. Still, they were very enjoyable. For entrées, I ordered the 8 oz filet mignon (medium), and it was cooked perfectly -- tender, juicy, and rich in flavor, with a nice crisp sear on the outside. My boyfriend ordered the 16 oz Delmonico ribeye (medium rare) based on our server's recommendation. He said it was excellent quality, just a bit too fatty for his taste -- though he definitely enjoyed sneaking bites of my filet! We shared the fries as our side, and while they were good at first, the tallow flavor became a little overpowering after a while, so we'll probably try a different side next time. To end the night, they surprised me with a complimentary slice of chocolate cake, which was huge (even though our server swore it was the "smaller" size -- I'm not convinced!). It was dark chocolate -- my favorite -- and paired beautifully with a raspberry purée. Honestly, I wish they sold the purée on its own, it was that good. Overall, this was the perfect birthday dinner. The service, food, and thoughtful touches made the entire experience special. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

The service was impeccable! From the time we entered the hotel lobby, we were greeted with attentiveness and getting off the elevator in the restaurant we were met with even more great customer service . We went for our anniversary and they had a hand written card congratulating us on the table. The ambiance is top notch. You're on the 7th floor of the hotel with a fantastic view of downtown Dallas. I had the Lamb Duo! Surprisingly I'm not a steak person and i know it's a steakhouse but the Lamb Duo did NOT disappoint!! Was cooked perfectly. I am looking forward to finding a reason to go back! read more

This is a handsome restaurant outfitted in dark woods and romantic low lighting. Service was above and beyond. We started with the Crab Cake appetizer which was served on brioche. The crab cake had a lot of filler and not much flavor and I didn't love the combo of crab cake and brioche. But hey, our waiter recommended the Beef Dumplings and we didn't listen to him! For our entree hubby and I shared the 12 oz Akaushi filet. Akaushi beef is a specific Wagyu cattle breed known for being incredibly tender and flavorful . This cut was from the HWD selection which boasts regenerative ranching. I did look this up, but will pass on a description in this review. Let's just say it sounds eco-friendly. Back to the review... this steak was amazing. It had a spectacular crispy and charred crust and a perfect medium rare center. Honestly it may be the best steak I've eaten. We also had the roasted mushrooms and the potato purée. So good! The sommelier was extremely accommodating. He opened a bottle of Chablis for me, even though I only wanted a glass. It was an excellent recommendation. All in all, a fabulous dinner. read more

My husband and I went here based off the Michelin websites recommendation and it didnt disappoint. We did the Michelin tasting menu 125$ per person which was so reasonable for what it was, everything on it was so good. I was least excited about the carrot dish, until I tasted it. Small dishes that hold large impact and end up being extremely filling. The ambiance is luxurious in a smaller environment. It didnt feel huge but I didnt see the whole restaurant. It was obviously popular, there were a lot of people. We didnt feel that it was overly loud or problematic though. I recommend this restaurant. read more

Perfect spot for an intimate dinner. One of my favorite parts about Stillwell's was not having to shout to be heard. I could easily hold conversation and enjoy the guests at the table. Service was top notch! Attentive but not pushy. Having felt like we were getting pushed out at other establishments, Stillwells made us feel welcome to sit, enjoy, and have a full evening without being rushed. Now, it is pricey, so don't come for me about that! But the price matches the service and experience level. My friend said her steak was the best one she's had in Dallas! The sea bass was well cooked but I probably should have ordered an additional side as an accompaniment. The Sommelier brought over a bottle of champagne and served us all a glass when he noticed we were celebrating a birthday. 10/10 experience. Next time I'm coming early before our dinner reservation so I can get a drink at the downstairs bar. It looked so cute and cozy. Can't wait to come back! read more

Not going to say that it was terrible but I will just say there is a reason this restaurant has 3.7 stars on yelp. I think they are trying their best to make you feel taken care of but in my case there was two waiters assigned to the table plus a sommelier plus a manager who would take an order as well if you needed anything so we had four people asking us if we're okay or need anything every 5 minutes which became extremely overwhelming by the end of the night Same goes to the moment where the check arrived we asked for separate checks and the waitress kindly provided us with one then our second waiter came and by the end of transaction we ended up being charged and refunded 4! Times. So definitely they need to either communicate or just assign one table per table. When it comes to food it is very mediocre we did try a variety of appetizers, side dishes, and main dishes and I was certainly not impressed, we ordered cheesecake for dessert and it was very blah so I had to send it back. I did have 3 Negronis and those were delicious! Valet is located it in the front entrance of the Swexan hotel and is very efficient. I will not be returning to this place and really hope your experience will be better than mine! read more

This was a real treat! My wife took me here for my birthday. I didn't know where we were going but she said she looked up steak places and Sinatra and landed here. Good choice! First, the valet parking is free. There's no real signage saying this outside, I just guessed and pulled into the hotel lot. The valet told me and took care of that so that was great. The restaurant is up on the seventh floor of the "Sweaxan" hotel. Who came up with that name, really? Sweaty Texan? Is that it? I mean truth in advertising I guess. Our summers are brutal. Very swanky inside. Host showed us to the elevators and scanned his card and hit 7 so up we went. We were seated in one of their excellent half-circle booths. They have curtains drawn back but you could see famous people tucked into one of these discussing roles or a new play. Very nice. The place was decked out for the holidays which was great. Made it feel festive. Otherwise I'd have to say the decor is pretty dark and stark. Some lit black and white photos along a wall, some glass and wood, but black walls black ceiling, no big art pieces from where we sat. But you know I'd say it's like a modern chic thing going on here. Not pretentious. Which they weren't - pretentious I mean - the staff isn't snobby - they are very nice and talkative and approachable and helpful. The service here was excellent and really made the place if you ask me. They had a nice hand written card on the table for me, the birthday boy. It's a nice touch. The food I would give 4 stars. They sell their own "family brand" of steak here, which I got, and it was good, but I can't say it would have been any better than a normal filet. It also came with a little dish of barbeque sauce? I tried it with the steak and it was excellent but it totally overpowered my palate. Avoid it unless you are a bbq sauce aficionado. Or if you are the kind of guy who likes ketchup on your steak. I did opt for the truffle butter but you know it didn't add much to the steak. The steak is good on it's own - don't bother with any sauce. The Brussell sprouts were excellent - the sauce and giant bacon bits in there were so good. Their mac and cheese side is excellent - easily some of the best out there. The mushrooms were weird - it's like they were all finely diced and had a very vinegary and rosemary/taragon thing to it - it was overpowering. Plain mushroom slices cooked in butter woulda done it, guys. Their mixed drink list didn't stand out to us - We got a bottle of white which they keep in an ice bucket out of arms reach which first annoyed me but the service is so good - always checking in and refilling your glass - no problems there - these guys are killing it. We LOVED the little birthday cake thing complete with a candle! That desert might be the single best restaurant desert thing I've ever had! So rich and textured - ugh I want it now! -- Expensive, excellent service, food is ok, wine is great, ambiance is great. I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a great beginning or end of a night out on the town! read more

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate my birthday last night and they gave us the best experience we could have asked for! As soon as we entered the restaurant I was given a handwritten birthday card, that was a first for me and it made me feel so special! Our waitress cooper was PHENOMENAL, she was very kind and attentive and answered any questions I had. She was so lovely and friendly! Thomas was also fantastic and walked us through the whole menu, they were both very very knowledgeable of the menu. We started off with two glasses of wine and decided right after we would get a bottle as well, and they were so kind and did not charge us for the first two glasses. The wine was incredible but the FOOD!!! Oh my gosh our jaws were on the floor, everything was perfect. We ate at The Monarch a few months ago and that was lovely, but I have to say Stillwell's is FAR better! The ambience was perfect; moody, romantic, and very comfortable chairs. We also got a complementary chocolate cake with a candle, possibly the best chocolate cake I've ever had and added another layer of feeling extra special! Our waitress Cooper wrote us another card at the end of the evening with a note from her as well as Thomas, after I already thought it couldn't get any better! Seriously the best experience, if I could eat here every night I would. There were absolutely zero complaints and we will most certainly be coming back! To Cooper and Thomas- thank you for your incredible service and making us feel comfortable and making my night so so special! We can't wait to see you both again! And to the Chefs- you deserve 3 Michelin stars! read more

Best steakhouse in Dallas! If you go, make sure you ask for Tomas!! He'll get you right!

Went to Stillwell's for my anniversary. The ambiance, service and food was all excellent. We ordered beef dumplings & oysters rockefeller to start. The dumplings were amazing, I was impressed by the amount of beef the put in them. Highly recommend. The oysters were good but they weren't the traditional rockefeller oysters you might expect. I prefer the tradition route, but my girlfriend loved them. We ordered filets (classic cuts) and both of us were very happy with them. I added a blue cheese crust which I thought really elevated the taste. If you like blue cheese, I'd highly recommend that add on. We also ordered the 2 sides, the roasted mushrooms (very good) & the potato purée (good but nothing special) If you're looking for a romantic dinner with great food. This is a great option in Dallas. The waiters were dressed in white coats which really made the place feel very fancy (which it was). 5 stars is my rating here. I'd happily recommend going here. read more
