"Of course, Plano needs a good steakhouse, and chef John Tesar obliged. His spot in The Shops at Willow Bend has all the trappings of the Dallas location: the new and old-school steak cuts, including his signature dry-aged steaks. And it’s got an exotic steaks section to be shared between the two. It also has a hefty list of seafood options and a cauliflower steak for vegetarians." - Courtney E. Smith

"The second outpost of Tesar’s award-winning steakhouse is set to arrive at Willow Bend in September, and it’s going to be massive. The restaurant will occupy a sprawling 7,000 square feet, which will house a meat locker that’s large enough to hold 500 different cuts of meat for dry-aging. Fans of Tesar’s long-shuttered seafood restaurant Spoon will find popular dishes from that restaurant on the menu at Plano’s Knife, along with whole animal cookery." - Rachel Pinn

Fantastic across the board. My guy friends and I went here for a night out and had an incredible experience. Booked online and asked in the booking note for an earlier time. Manager emailed me the same night offering us their smaller private room with designated wait staff...we immediately agreed. Tried flights of bacon, Buffalo Trace products and did a steak flight for our table (45, 90 and 240 day dry aged steaks). Everything was cooked perfectly, staff and management were friendly and attentive while the private room was elegant, yet intimate enough for our group to talk and watch the boxing card for the night. Absolutely going back.

The ambiance of the restaurant and the servers were nice, but the biggest issue was the taste of the food. The restaurant gives a strong impression of specializing in steak and meat, starting with its name. The walls are adorned with pictures and artwork of cows, and there’s even a sign that says ‘Meatopia.’ However, the steak had a strong gamey smell, which was so off-putting that I had to smother it in sauce just to eat it. While the cooking itself was fine, I was left disappointed by the lack of freshness or proper aging of the meat. I’ve been trying various restaurants during DFW Restaurant Week, but the food here was truly underwhelming. I also wouldn’t recommend the wine pairing. The Pinot Noir served with the appetizer and the red wine with the entrée both lacked depth and were overly acidic. The spaghetti was decent, but it’s something you could easily make at home with quality ingredients. Overall, while the server was adequate and the restaurant’s atmosphere pleasant, the disappointing food means I won’t be returning.

I had the ribeye, and it was absolutely fantastic! Our waiter Chris, was amazing and attentive. I finished every bite, and the ambience of the restaurant was perfect. If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would. I highly recommend!

Went a couple weeks back, was actually trying to go to a different restaurant but hey they were full and I knife wasn't. Got sited quickly but service was slow. Drinks and food also took awhile got told like 30mins for food to be served after we placed, Ended up more like 50min wait. Vibe dead for a weekend,as seen in the pictures🤷🏼‍♂️. Food was actually very delicious as were a couple of the cocktails we ordered. Would maybe go again but not highly.

This was only our second visit to Knife of Plano. Our first visit was shortly after the restaurant opened. I don’t know why we waited so long to return. Knife is an upscale but casual steakhouse serving beautifully plated but generous portions of exquisite American (maybe Southern American) cuisine. Our reservations were for a Saturday night. It was not as busy as I remember but I am sure it was because we were there the Saturday before Memorial Day. Before we began, our server brought a vegetable and dip plate. Another server brought bread. We decided to try the Charcuterie Board for an appetizer (photo shows what was left of the board and grilled bread after most was devoured). An excellent choice and a large serving. We could have had that in lieu an entree. But we did not stop there. My husband ordered the Center Cut Bone-In Pork Chop (the biggest pork chop ever seen) and I ordered the Fresh Red Snapper. Both were delicious. The pork chop was served with collard greens and the snapper was served with asparagus and fingerling potatoes with a lemon butter sauce. While the sides looked good (they had okra!) I recommend considering the entree portion size. We did not order sides and still took a lot home. We were celebrating our anniversary so we ordered a creme brûlée to share. Delicious, the way crème brûlée should taste. When I made the reservation, I indicated that we were celebrating our anniversary. The hostess wished us a happy anniversary and there was a greeting card at our table. Our server, Trevor, wished us a happy anniversary and it was Trevor that truly made the night special. We loved the ambience of the restaurant, the artwork, and the music, but Trevor made the restaurant shine. He was so attentive, friendly, and happy to explain our meal, such as the various meats on our charcuterie board. For that reason alone, we will be back. We decided to celebrate our anniversary at Knife because the restaurant was one of the sponsors of Taste of Plano 2024, a fundraiser for the Hendrick Scholarship Foundation. It is important to us to patronize businesses that give back to the community. For that reason, and the wonderful evening we had, we highly recommend Knife for a memorable dining experience. Come hungry since the portions are generous if not huge.

This was one of the best dining experiences of my life! Food is just at another level here. The bacon tasting board is a must, thanks to our attentive waiter for making that recommendation. We had one of their 45-day dry aged steaks, OMG!!! It was so juicy and tasty. We also loved the cocktails and the Crème brûlée. I highly recommend this place, but be ready for a heavy check.

First time out for restaurant week and had the best time. Steak was perfection. Jalapeño soup was spicy as hell and the consensus was it would be absolute fire with Torchy's queso. We took home to experiment, it did not dissappoint. Even the Dr Pepper was top shelf.

excellent food all around. service was also very good. we enjoyed a business lunch and ordered a dry-aged ribeye as well as the wet-aged tenderloin. onion rings were killer. would definitely recommend and come back again.

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.

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.

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.

Came with a group for lunch, it was my first time. For the price, it was not worth it. Extremely overpriced restaurant. The food was good but not worth the price.

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. We ordered the bacon tasting... which was pretty good, and a Caesar salad, which was also good. My husband got a filet and I ordered the lamb. It was cooked to my liking and was really tasty. All in all this place was nice.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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). The establishment is very cute and every member of the staff was friendly and welcoming. I'm looking forward to going back and trying the rest of the menu!

We decided to try a new place for Valentines dinner. Knife Plano had a great ambiance and friendly staff. The food and drinks were good, but the price point was so-so. The competition for similarly priced, great quality steakhouses is steep in DFW. With that being said, it's worth trying for the experience but manage your expectations.

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.

It was ok. Nice ambiance inside. The host was super friendly and accommodating so excellent first impressions. However the servers were a little slow with the drinks and had to be reminded a couple times, and again a couple times. For the price and purpose, I wasn't feeling the service. My strip steak was good overall, but definitely didn't feel like it was a prime cut. Just ok by me.

I came here for DFW Restaurant week 2024. The Plano location is outside of the Willow Bend Mall. I had the classic Caesar Salad with the NY Strip with chimichurri sauce - it was all phenomenal. The steak was cooked to perfection and the chimichurri sauce was amazing. The restaurant is romantic despite the location. Highly recommend.

Incredible experience all around! Perfect for a fancy date night, anniversary, birthday celebration or any special occasion! Dim lights, romantic set up, attentive staff and lovely food options! We celebrated a family member's birthday and had a larger party. Staff went out of the way to make sure we were taken care of and that it was a special experience for everyone. They even went as far to give the whole group complimentary dessert to take home! I was very impressed.

What a GREAT little hidden restaurant that we never knew was here, although we live nearby. I got the vegan dish and it was delicious! My husbands steak was better than some of the top rated steaks in all of DFW. Great* service also. Food came quickly and restaurant was quiet. We will definitely be back.

The food was incredible, and the steak was cooked to perfection! The service was excellent, and we were seated right away with no wait. I highly recommend this hidden gem! Our server David was amazing.

A++ experience tonight. We were celebrating our dad's 70th birthday here and George and Jason went above and beyond to make this a terrific dining experience. Service is extremely warm and friendly, and the food was superb. Would highly recommend the 45 or 90 day dry-aged ribeyes. We'll definitely be back for future meals here.

I recently dined at Knife, and it was an outstanding experience. The steak was beyond compare - tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The family-style sides complemented the main course perfectly, creating a truly memorable meal. Knife is a steak lover's paradise, and I can't wait to go back for another exceptional dining experience. 10/10 recommend requesting Jason as your server! George and Grant will ensure all guest are cared for!

Although the service was excellent, the meal was quite dubious; our server was fantastic, though. And as the meal concluded, the manager came over to check on the food. I didn't want to be too blunt, but the dishes lacked flavor. If it hadn't been for the exceptional service, I might have walked out. Two stars were for the service.

First time here and I got the 90 day dry aged cut and it was super good. Don't think about it, just come try this place.

Becca J.

Not a huge fan of the ambience here. Considering how high the prices are, it was a bit odd to see people at the restaurant wearing sports t-shirts and baseball caps. The service was also very slow despite the restaurant not being full. My husband received his old fashioned and it took another 15 mins for my glass of wine to arrive at the table. Our appetizers also did not arrive until 40 minutes after we ordered them. It was ridiculous. They brought bread to our table and there was a ton of variety, including rosemary and jalapeño and biscuits, however, all the bread was very dry and stale. Salmon crudo: 1/10, the combo of salmon with apple and avocado did not mesh well, and the salmon slices were enormous. You can't cut the pieces without everything falling apart either. Bacon tasting board: 7/10. Each piece tasted different and was good in its own way. We especially liked the bacon jam, and wish the bread wasn't so dry to eat it with. Mac and cheese: 7/10. Solid. The bacon crumbles on top were a nice touch. Creamed spinach: 2/10. Not creamy at all, it was super watery with huge clumps of spinach. Mushroom risotto: 7/10. The risotto was cooked well. The mushroom and broccoli were a nice combo. Steak: 0/10. We ordered the 45 Day Dry Age Creekstone Bone In NY strip 22oz. It took 1 hour for our steak to arrive at our table. We asked for medium rare, and the steak came out rare. We asked for them to cook it longer, but it still came out rare. We attempted to eat the corner pieces but it was clearly burnt (not charred) and extremely dry. The owner (?) came by and told us us that the steaks we got were "medium rare", and that we may want their "medium". Please see attached pictures to see how raw their "medium rare" is. He then brought us another steak, told us it was "medium", and though this steak was cooked better, it still tasted so burnt and had zero flavor without basics like salt and pepper. This is the worst steak experience I have ever had, and for these prices?! Nuts. The only way this steak was edible was by drowning it in sauces that are $7.00 each. I appreciate their attempt to try and rectify the situation but it didn't seem to help. It's possible the Dallas location is better, but considering it's the same menu and recipes, it may not be that far off.

Delicious, very comforting and decent portion! Service is always great. The low lighting is also very cozy and makes it more inviting.

My husband and I went for our anniversary, and it was a great experience. Ambiance is nice, not stuffy, more modern. Pretty. Our service was Impeccable. Ask for James. He was incredibly knowledgeable about everything and answered all our questions with great information to help us decide. He was personable without hovering, and his timing to check on us and bring us drinks or food was spot on. Food: Delicious. My husband wanted to try the short rib because our server recommended it. I was skeptical. I'm a ribeye girl all the way, but went for it. Thank goodness we did. The short rib is cooked sous vide style for THREE days and then reversed seared. You guys. It was buttery melt in your mouth with a nice sear on the outside. It was better than most ribeyes at any steakhouse we have ever been to. I'm mad because now this is something I'm going to crave all the time!!! Absolutely amazing! Appetizers: they start you off with a veggie tray and green goddess dipping sauce. We thought this was so unique and fresh, great idea, simple but beautiful and light. Bread: They have an enormous basket of bread and you pick out what you want. The biscuits and sourdough were delicious. It was all fresh, but they kept them room temperature, that was the only thing we wish would be updated, maybe if they were warmed. But besides that, delicious! We also shared the garganelli truffle pasta. Beautiful and delicious, you can absolutely taste the truffle in it. Drinks: my husband just had the crown and diet, but I tried the Yattsu, it was light and refreshing, I'm pretty sure I could drink a gallon of it, or bathe in it. Awesome. The owner came and spoke to us and we appreciate him taking the time to come by and speak to us. It wasn't a quick hey how is everything and leave, but he took the time to really talk to us for about 5-10 minutes and we really appreciate it. The prices are a little higher just be prepared. But remember you are at a nice steakhouse, and majority of the steaks are dry aged from specialty farms it is understandable. Our experience was amazing and we will absolutely be back. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner a wonderful experience.

This was our anniversary dinner spot and we really enjoyed the service and the steak. We ended up ordering a 90 day bone in rib eye at the recommendation of our Waiter. I unfortunately can't remember his name! This is definitely a pricy spot but to us we will be back for special occasion. Brussel sprouts were excellent as well. Extensive wine list but pricy so we opted for a smaller bottle. The star was our rib eye which we requested medium and it was probably a little under cooked to our desired temperature but overall amazing. We couldn't finish it and ended up taking home for leftovers and it was still great!

How can you. It like Knife? We've been to the Dallas location and have enjoyed many burgers at the Plano based Knife Burger. But we hadn't made time for a proper meal. We went at old people hours - a 5 pm dinner seating. Our server was also a sommelier which made ordering wine pretty simple. We told him what we enjoy at home and found a similar style wine on the menu. Meals open with crudités, fresh green goddess dressing and bread. This is consistent with our last visit several years ago. I think if it's not broken it's wise to not fix it. We both ordered filet (6oz for me, 10oz for the husband) with a warm red center. (Always!) we also ordered plenty of vegetable sides. Note for the unaware: Sides are huge. One is plenty to share. We wanted leftover veg though, so we ordered the butternut squash, creamed spinach and roasted cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. A side of mushrooms was accidentally delivered to our table but to be honest, we enjoyed eating those as well and would happily order them again. We had the banana and bourbon cream for dessert and left feeling full but not stuffed. Spreading the dinner over two hours allowed everything to digest and for us to feel relaxed and happy in general.

Yelp
Amazing food and amazing experience! We were shocked how empty Knife was on the Friday night we went. The food is amazing, the quality is on par if not better than Nick & Sam's and Al Biernat's. The bacon tasting is so unique and a fun appetizer. We had the pleasure of seeing John Tesar himself while we were in which was an added bonus. The staff truly go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience.

Had an AMEX offer, so decided to check out Knife for Sunday lunch/brunch. Overall was a very nice experience. Very quiet on a Sunday afternoon, but that's not a bad thing. The No. 4 cocktail was amazing! Very good balance of citrus and gin. The bacon tasting is a must do! Just wish there was some bread to go along with the jam. My filet was cooked perfectly, but found it to be very heavy on the peppercorn crust. Had to scrap most off to enjoy.

David H.

Yelp
Atmosphere was pretty average. Cocktails were perfect. Service was good but awkward. Acted like he had to pee really bad, nervous. It sure how anyone would think the very thick jalapeno soup was good. Steak was ok but nothing great. Sides too were just ok. Wine prices a little high like most prime steak houses. No on a repeat visit for us.

Jonny K.

Yelp
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.

Michael B.

Yelp
This has to be one of the hardest reviews to rate! The steak was amazing. The bacon was outstanding. The lobster pasta was so good. But. The steaks were only amazing after they got sent back to be cooked properly, medium was in the servers words "like beef jerky". Even before then the server was not helpful and even rude as we asked about different items. His only concern seemed to be getting the orders in so he could go home. ‍ We ordered the lobster pasta as our side as recommended. But...it was served before the steak, then the steak came out bad so we had to eat that separately which left us to eat the steak all by itself when it finally came. And it was a great steak but with nothing to go with it...we couldn't even finish it. The manager checked on us and did write off the lobster pasta but that was it. I don't know if we would go back, but the food was great, the new waiter we got was fantastic so maybe?

An Unforgettable Culinary Journey at Knife Steakhouse From the moment I stepped into Knife Steakhouse in Plano, TX, I knew I was in for a unique dining experience. Umit, the bartender, welcomed me warmly and quickly made me feel at home. His passion for the restaurant's offerings was evident as he guided me through the expansive menu, brimming with a selection of meats that would leave any carnivore salivating. For a first-time visitor, the menu at Knife can seem almost overwhelming, but Umit's expert knowledge and enthusiasm made it accessible and exciting. His deep understanding of the heritage of each farm from where the beef was sourced was fascinating. He explained the differences between providers, types of beef, cuts, and the intricacies of the aging process, ranging from 45 days to an astonishing 240-day dry-aged ribeye. The evening began with a bacon tasting, a first in my culinary journey. The tasting featured bacons from various regions, each with their own distinctive smokes including hickory and apple. My favorite of the lot was Benton's bacon from Tennessee, an incredibly smoky offering that I've savored before, but it was truly a different experience tasting it side by side with the others. The star of the night was undoubtedly the Texas Angus/Wagyu crossbreed. It was the perfect amalgamation of the structural integrity of Angus and the deep, rich flavors of Wagyu, all wonderfully enhanced by a 90-day dry aging process. The steak was cooked to perfection and each bite was nothing short of sensational. What truly set Knife Steakhouse apart was not just the quality of the food, but the collective passion of the staff. Several people involved in the serving process stopped by to share intriguing stories about the ranch from where the beef was sourced. This attention to detail and shared enthusiasm created a sense of community around the dining experience that was truly unique. In conclusion, Knife Steakhouse is not just a restaurant - it's a gastronomic journey that expertly guides you through the artistry and heritage of beef. From the knowledgeable and attentive staff to the expertly curated menu, every aspect of Knife Steakhouse is designed to provide an extraordinary dining experience. Whether you're a beef connoisseur or a curious foodie, I highly recommend a visit.

Excellent food almost better than the original in Dallas. The service was great on a weekday. Nice area and valet is great. Beautifully decorated with a mixed crowd.

Went here tonight for my birthday with the entire family of 11 at 5:30. 6 adults 5 kids and The restaurant was empty except for 2 tables. The service was slow, the steaks were undercooked coming out rare! How do you go to a top dollar steakhouse and get served a rare steak when you order medium with today's technology. and total ticket was $1,000! . Very underwhelmed for the prices. They actually brought a tray of breads after we had our appetizers and salads and it looked good until you went to grab a bisquit and it was all cold. Who serves cold bisquits and bread! Not sure how this place received such high reviews. We would never come again.

Loud music. Hardly anyone there. Entire bar empty. Very dry and cold bread. Steaks came out warm not hot except for the short rib which was good. Mushroom and mashed potatoes were good. Disinterested/rude server. Thought we would try somewhere new besides capital grill or Perry's etc. First and last time for us. Too many other great steakhouses around.

Short rib is definitely the best I've ever had, highly recommend. Fantastic service by David, I drink a lot of hot water and he always kept my cup filled which is a small but very significant detail for me in service.

Located near the Willow Bend mall just off the DNT. The restaurant offers complimentary valet. The restaurant has a few booths, mostly tables, and a small private seating area for small parties. The service and food was amazing. We ordered wine, steak, salmon, and salads. I highly recommend this restaurant if your looking for an incredible date spot or meal for a special occasion.

The service was bad. Asked for chicken and pasta, pasta came good but the chicken was thigh and I told the server that I don't like it and I didn't eat it at all. He charged me for chicken and didn't care about my concern.

For the price, this should probably be a 2.5. However, the ambiance, host, and service are all top notch. Its the food that lacks here. The quality is no where near the other main location and definitely not even in the same league as other high-end steakhouses in Dallas, for which I've been to more than a few. I've eaten here three or four times and feel that I can make a definitive assessment of this location. Also, while the service is great, I usually feel a sense of what I can best describe as snobery. If you order their burger or ask about a smaller steak, you usually get a somewhat annoyed answer. They specialize in expensive, large, dry aged steaks. And if I don't order one of those, I could feel annoyance from the server. This is despite ordering a 26 oz $85 ribeye; which, by the way, is the smallest and most inexpensive ribeye they offer. The last time I went, I ordered a medium rare ribeye. It was more medium than rare. It was still good, but again, not for the price. I ate a better steak at Texas Roadhouse last week. Lastly, the bread is cold and their biscuits, a stable at the other location, don't taste the same.

If you do nothing else with your life, make the time to go here and try the bacon taster. Who knew that slices of bacon could be so different and all so delicious? The burger was incredible and the onion rings were worth the trip all on their own. The tiki drink tasted like vacation in a glass. Overall, this place is worth every cent.

For my birthday my husband took me to a secret restaurant. When we arrived at Knife I was thrilled. The last time we went was years ago and it was at the Mockingbird station location. A chilled plate of Crudités were immediately brought to our table. Veggies with a light green creamy dressing. Our server James came with the wine list. I wanted a cocktail but only whisky, gin, and tequila were listed in the cocktails, no vodka. James fixed me up a grapefruit, vodka, simple syrup & lemon juice cocktail and it was nice. Just got to mention I thought the attire of the servers and busboys kind of made me think of The Shining ( Jack Nicholson movie) Our bus boy had a light blue smock on and brought the bread basket over and gave a a lil description of the 6? breads there. Personally I think all the bread looked boring except the biscuits. For appetizers we got a plate of 6 oysters and they were pretty good :) I got the poached lobster. I was kind of expecting the whole lobster that I would get to take apart but it came all unshelled and and in a little cup ready to eat. It was just a little bigger than the cup of melted butter you get with it. Sorry I didn't take a picture. For $58 I was just expecting more lobster. My husband got a filet and it comes with fries. He ate every bite and loved it. We also ordered the roasted butternut squash. It was beautiful and delicious. It was too much food for the two of us though. We were too full for dessert. James still brought us a lovely trio of dessert bites before we left. I can't remember what they're called but the white placard looking piece is a MINT. Hence I took a nibble of the corner because I wasn't sure. Overall this location is a winner too.

Restaurant week lunch caught my attention. First time here and let me tell you. Christian and Basil knocked this experience out the park with their customer service. I had the salmon and a wedge salad. Absolute best blue cheese I had on a wedge, so I had to order a martini with blue cheese olives. In a society where great customer service is hard to come by, I had to write this for this establishment and two young men that served us. See you soon.

I took my friend here for his birthday and we both would definitely come back. The staff is very attentive and accommodating. Everything we ate was delicious. The ONLY "bad" thing is that I wish the portion size for the Max and Cheese was bigger, but everything else was amazing

Let me tell you about the worst $600 I've ever spent. For my birthday, I responded to an email from Knife advertising "the whiskey event of the summer"--a five course meal featuring wagyu beef and Japanese whiskey pairings. Booking in advance cost over $500 for two people. My expectations were somewhat high. When we showed up, we were ushered into a very loud, very crowded room with communal seating and forced to sit across from each other. We were each much closer to the person next to us on either side than we were to each other and it was impossible to talk to one another without leaning over the table and shouting. This festive element was not mentioned anywhere in the promotional email. It was immediately apparent that additional drinks would be needed, since everyone already there was ordering bottles of wine, Moscow mules, and martinis. Odd for a tasting menu with curated pairings but okay, it's north Texas, let's party. I followed the wisdom of the crowd and threw down an additional $100+ just to make the night bearable. Incidentally, the server(??), who had to be flagged down and seemed understandably annoyed to be there, claimed they had no cocktail onions for a martini. Later, at the bar, that would turn out to be false. We were treated to what I can only describe as the most bizarre and absurdly bad PowerPoint presentation of all time, presented by a woman who had clearly never seen any of the words before and admittedly could not (and often just would not) pronounce anything in Japanese. The "pairings" were actually very very small tasting-sized sips of mediocre whiskey and there was no apparent rhyme or reason to their selection for a particular dish. The entire scene had the feel of an extremely badly run industry event or a timeshare sales pitch. The food was just okay and the portions were, of course, also very small--fine, it's a tasting menu. I guess. It seemed more like just micro portions of ordinary food from a corporate hotel bar. I've been to a number of tasting menus with pairings in the DFW area and never had anything like this experience. I abhor communal seating and avoid every place that I know has it. I have never been offered a meal with bland "pairings" that were one or two sips. I've never been forced to watch a PowerPoint(!), let alone a long presentation that would get a failing grade in middle school. If I'd had any clue what this event would be like, I would've immediately unsubscribed from the email list rather than dropping hundreds on it. If this event had been free, I would still not recommend it to anyone. For the price of a very nice Michelin starred omakase dinner in New York, it's unbelievable just how bad this was. I wanted to walk out before we were even seated, but my companion encouraged me to stay for the story. Ultimately, it was a night I will never forget. Save your money. Do not go here. Ever.

Went here for a friends birthday celebration. There is a valet directly in front of it but free parking before you get to the valet and a parking garage on the other side. It is a very elegant/modern atmosphere. We were in the back area that was separated by full floor to ceiling glass. Need to make sure you pay attention to where the opening is as one of our friends almost walked into it since the glass was so clean you could hardly tell haha. They start you off with some fresh vegetables on ice that come with an addictingly good green aioli. We ordered a few different appetizers/salad and shared them to start off. We shared the Yellowtail $28.00, Salmon Crudo $18.00, Bone Marrow & Cavier $24.00, 240 Day Dry Aged Carpaccio $28.00, Bacon Tasting $18.00 and the Caesar Salad $12.00. I thought the Carpaccio was the best, it was so silky smooth and good balance with the vinaigrette. The Yellowtail and Salmon Crudo were also good but really one bite pieces, tried cutting them in half to share but it kind of falls apart if you do this. I couldn't really taste a difference between the 5 bacon varieties but the bacon jam was great, very smoky flavor. The Caesar was good but generic. The bone marrow was my least favorite as it was lacking any kind of flavor. They also provide you with a bread tray that has biscuits and sourdough. The biscuits were dangerously good, they were served room temp but if they were hot I'm sure I would have ruined my appetite. For my entrée, I got the 44 Farms Bone In Ribeye 24oz $85.00 cooked medium rare. This was a solid steak, cooked perfectly and only 1 bite or 2 of inedible fat on the whole thing. For my side, I got the Mac & Cheese $12.00 but I also got to taste the Mushrooms $14.00 and Pommes Puree $12.00. They have a solid mac and cheese but the Mushrooms were great. The sauce they were in was silky and velvety but not too heavy. The Pommes Puree was there mashed potatoes equivalent and was just okay. I did not order a dessert but did taste the Banana, Bourbon & Dulce $12.00. This has some good elements but some consistency that I was not a fan of. Whatever the crunchy pearls were went well with the ice cream. If you do not order a dessert, they still give everyone a small dessert plate. Mine had a mini chocolate chip cookie, a Turkish delight and a chocolate chip muffin. I thought all 3 were good but especially the muffin, it was very moist. They offer a bunch of different dry aged options with varying times and other farms of the same cut which I would definitely be interested in trying but the price point is on the higher end even for a steakhouse. I would gladly go back anytime though!

Father's Day disaster. Dirty table, dirty glasses, dirty napkins, previous tables food on menu's! Server was great and that's why 2 stars! Food not worth the price. Not sure if the Manager, by the name of Grant, needs etiquette school.
