Nick & Sam's

Review of Nick & Sam’s Steakhouse – A Birthday to Remember Celebrating my birthday at Nick & Sam’s Steakhouse was, without a doubt, one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was upscale yet welcoming — the perfect setting for a special evening with family. But what truly made the night unforgettable was our waiter, whose name I think was either James or Jeff. He mentioned he had recently moved from Seattle, and let me tell you — wherever he came from, they lost a star. This guy was on point the entire night. He wasn’t just providing service — he was curating an experience. He asked about what kind of meal I wanted and somehow pulled together the perfect combination of starters, sides, and a steak that was cooked to absolute perfection. Every dish he recommended hit the mark. He made us feel like VIPs, but in a warm and sincere way. My family was just as impressed. He took care of the entire table effortlessly, anticipated what we needed before we even asked, and added personal touches throughout the meal that really made the celebration feel elevated. From wine pairings to dessert, everything was thoughtfully handled. Nick & Sam’s already has a reputation for excellence — and they absolutely live up to it. The food, ambiance, and service all exceeded expectations. But it was our waiter’s attention to detail and genuine hospitality that turned a great dinner into a truly memorable birthday night. If you’re looking to celebrate something special or just want an exceptional night out, this place is worth every penny. And if you happen to get James or Jeff from Seattle — you’re in for a treat.

I cannot even begin to express how amazing this place it. There was not a single item on the menu that was bad and trust me we tried them all. I'm not sure if this was because it was our first time but we got complimentary caviar and champagne. They also had a massive cake and cotton candy made for my wife's birthday. Look at the pictures to see the food quality. It was pricey but the portions are massive and you will be coming home with extras.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional dining experience I had at your establishment. The Friday chicken special was truly outstanding, offering a delightful flavor profile and generous accompaniments. I especially enjoyed the biscuits with honey and the variety of sauces. Additionally, the king crab elote and the beef carpaccio with goat cheese balls were remarkably flavorful. The bone marrow appetizer, a special for the weekend, was also delicious. The espresso martinis were a perfect complement to the meal. The service provided by your team, particularly Sean and Rory, was excellent, and I am grateful for their attentiveness. I look forward to returning soon.

Best of the best in a dining experience. Service is top notch, food is incredible, and the atmosphere is fun (bar music is extremely loud though). Chateaubriand is the best we've had and the monster porterhouse is amazing. We love their salads and every starter, but you must try the mussels and also the bang bang broccoli! If you're feeling a splurge, definitely opt for the whole Alaskan King crab and accompany that with the A5 Kobe emperor platter! Heavenly.

Such a lovely steakhouse with a great vibe. The steaks were cooked perfectly—juicy, flavorful, and just how we ordered. The staff was super friendly and knew the menu well, which made the experience even better. The decor is upscale and modern, though the tables are a bit too close for comfort. It felt a little cramped at times. Tip: Definitely add the mushroom or caramelized onion toppers to your steak, they’re amazing! Also, don’t skip dessert, the layered birthday cake was incredibly soft and delicious.

We had dinner at Nick & Sam's Steakhouse in Dallas, Texas tonight to celebrate my wife's promotion at work. Our usual celebration place- Morton's The Steakhouse in Dallas recently closed so we plan to try new places going forward on special occasions where we want a nice steak outside of home. Tomahawk ribeye: using a high temp broiler the steaks are prepared hot and fast which gives a solid crust outside and the option for a soft center. We ordered medium rare like usual, the center was great for my preference but she ate around the center to have less of a rare portion. Fried lobster tail: this was a unique option compared to typical grilled or baked lobster. The breading was light and was accompanied by three varying sauces as well as a smoked lemon half for adding juice. Duck macaroni and cheese: creamy macaroni and cheese with panko parmesan cheese with pieces of roasted duck inside. The duck fat added great flavor, the duck meat contrasted the pasta. Asparagus: we opted for grilled vs steamed because this is similar to how we make it at home. The stalks were large so the consistency was great. Spinach: this was included with the steak, it had great flavor and consistency. Caviar sampler: this is a house dish included with the meal and was great. Molten chocolate cake with raspberry ice cream(no photo): a staple at fine steakhouses. The cake was a little dry but when mixed with the "molten" center and ice cream it was great. We also ordered carrot cake to go. Their cakes are massive and a highlight of the restaurant. #nickandsams #dallas #dallassteakhouse #steakhouse

My wife and several of her colleagues dined here tonight and wanted me to post her review. First, for perspective this was a party of 40 people. The staff were positively outstanding. Service was absolutely impeccable, they kept up with drinks and refills, and getting all of our food orders correct and to us very timely. And the food! AMAZING!!! From the appetizers to the entrees to the desserts, it was ALL spectacular. The Dungeness crab was a huge hit! Thank you so much to General Manager Rory Jenkins and all of his amazing staff that served us tonight and made for such a wonderful experience. If you are in Dallas, you MUST try Nick & Sam's, you will not be disappointed!

Great restaurant for our anniversary. Hubby has been here multiple times for work and always wanted to go. Food was great but pricey. I’d prefer Dee Lincoln for the drinks and sides. You can’t beat their steak at Nick and Sam’s. Very juicy! Waiters and staff excellent. Seated immediately. We had fun!

(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.

This was overall a very disappointing experience. This was my first time visiting as it was for most of my group for a birthday celebration. Service - It was not great. The server forgot my drink yo being with and then never returned to see if I wanted another one. I ordered a salad and mentioned by boyfriend and I was sharing. He had them split it and charged me for two salads instead. Most guests ran out of water repeatedly even though there were plenty of employees around refilling water. We were not checked back on after receiving our food to see how everything was tasting. Food - a few highlights were the bread, the filet and the elote corn. Lowlights were the tuna which was flavorless and missing the wasabi peas. If the waiter had ever checked on us or come back around I would of let him know. The calamari was rubbery as was the shrimp cocktail. The Brussels sprouts were overcooked. The Celebration cake was really pretty and good for a photo op but just tasted ok. Ambiance - Although really loud and the seating was crowded, the overall ambiance was nice. The ending of our meal was being told they were unable to split the checks among the couples. On the phone, we were told they could. Long story short, they were split and completely incorrect after waiting 30 minutes for them. We just paid and figured it out later. MUCH better service and food at other restaurants in Dallas. Definitely won't be back or recommending to anyone ever. Total waste of money and time. Unfortunately this was the consensus of the whole group.

I've lived in Dallas for 7 years now and this restaurant has been on the top of my list and I finally got to come for my 6 months wedding anniversary. For such an important occasion this restaurant dropped the ball and I hate I chose it. Nick & Sam was incredibly busy on a Friday night which is to be expected. But it was overwhelming to say the least. So many young adults at the caviar station dipping their chips in the sauce and double dipping and picking up everything with their hands. It was disgusting and I'm surprised no one works that station to plate for you. Also, there were no plates available at all. It took us 30 minutes to be seated and again for us to be an anniversary table we were sat smack dead in the middle of 2 large birthday parties versus having a booth to enjoy some intimacy. We were handed menus that were not wiped clean so when we opened it water spilled out on me. It was then taken away and my server never brought me another one so we had to share menus. Our server was very disengaged and never made eye contact with us once. And we could barely hear what he was saying and he seemed annoyed when asked to speak up. When our appetizers came out the runner spilled the sauce on me and the table and just apologized and walked away. The urgency to speed is crazy but no real urgency to make guest feel welcomed and cared for. The worst part of it all was as we waited for our entree to come out, a short, chubby, bald server takes a female server to the side (which was right against our table) to talk shit about a table he wanted to give her. He stated "they are annoying people and I can't take their shit. I'm giving you this time, I promise you will make money from them, I just can't deal with them." I could not believe that this was taking place right in front of me. I had never been so ready to leave an establishment. For this to be highly rated and known for fine dining I would have never expected the employees to act as though they work at McDonalds. Food was spectacular but didn't enjoy it at the restaurant we ended up asking it to be boxed after two bites because we just wanted to get out.

For starters, ambiance, vibes, and service are all top notch. Off the charts, hard to beat anywhere in Dallas. The sides and appetizers stole the show. From wagyu dumplings to the calamari, to my personal favorite, the tempura broccoli. My favorite side was definitely the king crab elote, so rich and creamy. Only downside to this trip was the steak. Ordered with a friend who liked medium, split a 32oz ribeye and it came out pretty much rare throughout. On top of that, it was chewy and unsavory. Only disappointing tick in an overall nice experience.

The steaks here are absolutely fantastic! I'm usually picky about steaks cooked by anyone other than me, but these were exceptional. The cuts and aging were top-notch. Service was excellent--staff checked on us frequently without being intrusive. The ambiance captured the classic Chicago steakhouse vibe, which I loved. However, one downside is how packed this place gets--it's busy to the brim. Also, some of the other menu items were just okay. The hotdog and Brussels sprouts were fine, but not standout. The fries were good, mainly for their consistency. As for the cotton candy--it's exactly what it sounds like, nothing special. A note to management: 1. Consider adding an automatic 10% service charge. 2. Please make it standard to split checks by individual orders at high-end places like this. It's frustrating to divide bills unevenly, especially when one person gets a $200 steak and others stick to a more modest meal. Offering separate checks would set you apart and make the experience smoother for customers. Overall, the steak quality and service make this spot worth visiting, but there's definitely room for improvement in managing the dining logistics.

Always a blast at Nick & Sam's! We had our usual room and our usual set menu, which is exceptional. Always a huge fan of the seafood platters!! The food is always done well, which i super appreciate the consistency here. We tried a ton more cocktails, my new favorite is the Pearberry!! still a fan of the cinnamon apple marg, but I'll request a touch more cinnamon in it next time if they might allow that hehe. I've told people about this place so much my parents came by recently and enjoyed it as well!

Texas beef is amazing, and Nick & Sam's have been doing it right forever. One negative--portions are humongous! Your best bet is to ask the waiter if you should half portion on some items, especially the sides. The mushroom side is special. If you like the steak and mushroom combo, this will inspire you! A half portion is enough mushrooms for two. Desserts are deadly. The y have cake slices that are larger than a cake for 4+ people. You can get a smaller slice, but even those are huge. Other desserts like the baked Alaska aren't as big. Again, communicate with the waiter. This is the type of place that's out to prove that everything is bigger in Texas.

This establishment has been on my radar for 15 years. In an effort to try all the best steakhouses in Dallas I finally came around to Nick and Sam's. Being that my reservation was scheduled upon opening at 5:00 PM on a Sunday, I was given a great valet parking spot by a generous valet staff named Jeff, thanks Jeff! This place is very very classy. They already had it adorned with Christmas decorations and playing good ol' Sinatra in the background. The main dining area is extremely dark, I think it's the darkest restaurant I've been to as I had trouble seeing the menu and eating my steak properly. They beat Tirelli's on darkness. We had the immense pleasure of being attended to by Remington. Remington is everything you would love and expect from a top end steakhouse. His manners and engagement were bar none the best service I've ever had and I don't say that lightly as I've eaten at many high end restaurants in Los Angeles and New York City and Remington blew them all away with his service. He served us a complimentary plate of caviar and all the fixings which was superb because that was a first for me. I had the crab cake as an appetizer - it was definitely not the best I've had, Republic bar and grilled in Galveston gets that honor - it was 'alright', a bit dry and did not have a ton of flavor. However the Iceberg salad we got was incredible. We customized it a little bit but it tasted just like my mother's BLT, and since she joined me this evening we had a blast reminiscing about her food and how close it tasted to her BLT. The bacon was yumtastic! For our main entree I got an off the menu tomahawk ribeye and mom got the prime aged ribeye. Unfortunately, the crust on my steak was just too much for me. It tasted burned and over powered the steak to the point I couldn't finish even after trying to cut off that portion of it. Other than that it tasted really good but I wish I had gone with a different preparation. My mother said her prime aged ribeye was one of the best she's ever had (my mom is someone who uses steak sauce, which of course they didn't have here so she had to eat it without, and she still enjoyed it so that's saying a lot). We had to finish it off with something sweet and we took a chance on the Banana Pudding Cheesecake. Not knowing what to expect we were extremely satisfied with it, it wasn't too sweet and came together very well. The best part of this experience was the service we received from Remington. It felt a bit like the opening of American Psycho. He brought out a steak board and went over the entire menu without a hiccup. Remember to tip your waiters well because they deserve it!!! So if the manager of Nick and Sam's is reading this please give our praise to Remington because he is without a doubt the best server we've ever had. Despite my steak having what tasted to me like a burnt crust I would come back to try a different cut. I'm not at all a picky person for what it's worth. The same cut at Bob's Steak and Chop House to me was a lot better. If you want a classy, romantic and best-in-service establishment you couldn't go wrong at Nick and Sam's. The live piano player towards the end really made it magical. Enjoy stranger.

Let me start by saying this: a steakhouse's reputation is only as good as its service, and Nick & Sam's has proven that they can't even meet the bare minimum expectations of a supposed high-end dining establishment. Our party arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation, only to endure a 90-minute wait to be seated. For a restaurant that reserves the right to give away reservations if a guest is 15 minutes late, this level of disorganization and disrespect toward their customers is appalling. Naturally, after having our entire evening derailed by their mismanagement, we expected some form of compensation for the inconvenience. What we got was an insult: a giant glizzy and "fried" calimari that nobody at our table touched because it was borderline inedible - I'm not joking, that calamari sucked, you can get better at friggin Applebees. No drinks were comped, despite us asking politely and explaining how their complete lack of respect for our time had impacted our evening plans. When we were finally seated, they put us at the worst table in the entire restaurant -- tucked in a corner, right by an exit. One person in our party was literally sitting in front of an emergency door, like we were some afterthought that they had to squeeze in. It was embarrassing, uncomfortable, and frankly unacceptable for a restaurant that claims to be a premium dining experience. The staff's attitude? Even worse. They showed zero empathy, guilted us for even requesting compensation, and were dismissive and cold until they finally acknowledged -- far too late -- that they had failed miserably in delivering a service experience that any restaurant should be able to manage. The food? Sure, the steak was good. But let's be real -- you can get a solid steak anywhere in Dallas without having to endure this kind of operational disaster and blatant disregard for customers. If you're considering Nick & Sam's for a special night out, don't. The owners should seriously reconsider their management team because it's clear this staff doesn't care about providing a positive experience. When a restaurant charges premium prices, premium service should follow. Instead, we got mediocre hospitality at high-end prices, and that simply doesn't cut it. Nick & Sam's blows, don't give these clowns business.

A touch of Vegas in Dallas and some history - haunted too. It was great for a dinner party and had a perfectly sized private room for our group. Service was top notch. Really impressed. Food too was really good. The sushi was excellent. The oysters Rockefeller were delish but too much rock salt. Beautiful and delicious shrimp cocktail. Loved my perfectly good salmon with a chimichurrii type sauce. Delicious! I was excited about the baked Alaska but this one wasn't worth the calories. Lots of fun to dress up and make a night of dinner and drinks.

The experience was great and the food was amazing. Due to the lighting I didn't take pictures but my entree was the sea bass and the sides were asparagus and pad Thai fried rice. Nothing great about the asparagus but the rest was absolutely amazing

One of the best steakhouse's I have been to. This is right up there with Chicago Cut. As soon as we sat at the table they brought out toast and caviar. We than ordered starters it was sushi galore. My words don't do justice For the main course we ordered the porter house steak (medium) and it was excellent. Sides we ordered the broccoli (excellent) must try, Elote with crab (good) and fries were amazing .Non of us had room for dessert. The service was excellent and the ambiance was great. Great place to go with a date or just a group of friends

Such a fun/hip vibe inside. Loved the sketched portraits on the wall. Tableside presentation of the lobster and steaks was top tier. So was the serving of the sides -- we had 2 waiters going in opposite directions to serve us. For the food, I tried the bison filet and do think I prefer a normal filet but it was great to try something different. The red velvet cake was MASSIVE -- took 2/3 of it home.

Place is a tad bit too packed for my liking. Waiters bumpin me every 2 minutes. They can afford to take out 4/5 tables. Food was ok nothing remarkable but it was good. Ambiance was ok I just can't get over how packed it was..

Place is a legit high end steakhouse. It was a packed house at 8pm on a Tuesday but they sat our group of 10 together. Phenomenal service and high quality sushi and food. Minimum of $125 per person is realistic (without alcohol). Steak presentation was great. Not a place most can afford to be a regular at and those that are are probably there on Friday and Saturday nights. Unlikely to get a reservation on the weekends. Restaurant was very loud and very very dark. Even the young people had to break out the flashlights on their phones to read the menu. All that being said, I would definitely go there again. Top 2 steakhouses I've ever been to.

Unfortunately, greed.... Scheduled reservation for birthday celebration. Left after waiting 50 minutes for a table. Judging by all the other people standing around (waiting for service)... Nic and Sam's is not about service, all about greed!! Go somewhere else.

I went to on a whelm to celebrate my birthday. Mostly for the cake which was delicious. Complementary caviar and excellent service. The ambiance is a bit traditional one would say dated but nonetheless nice, comfy and cozy. Our waiter made the experience all the better and the lovely pianist was a treat as well. We will definitely be back for another delicious meal.

My recent visit was a mix of highs and lows. The wait staff truly stood out. They went over and beyond. Our steak was under cooked for medium but they did take it back. Steak was excellent once cooked to order. Wife wanted a Moscato but they didn't have one. In summary, the steak and stellar service were highlights, but the lack of Moscato, and a mishap with the steak's cooking detracted from what could've been a great experience.

We hosted a dinner party of ~12 here tonight (Tuesday). They were able to put us in the back room which was much more spacious. The chicken was huge! My filet medium rare needed to go back so I'd recommend medium! Our main issue was that our receipt was presented to us and we wanted to check on it since things get pricy with cocktails. We wanted to check if the itemized was different from the offered set menu price of $95/pp. After inquiring about our receipt, the waiter brought us back a larger bill like $500 more... They refused to charge us the original itemized receipt and just because we inquired, we were stuck with a much larger bill.... To show a dog a bone and take it away isn't very nice, especially at an establishment like this where we could potentially host dinners in the future :/

Solid steakhouse with an expansive menu and friendly, attentive service. Filet mignon, all sides and appetizers were good though nothing stood out as outstanding. The Texas sized 7-layer rainbow cake was memorable and surprisingly tasty. It's a bit loud and dark inside and it's also a spot for athletes (i saw a few former Mavericks) and high rollers to be seen. They have a private room for large enough groups.

I love it here! I often come throughout the week for drinks and apps, but recently had dinner service which was fabulous. The filet was cooked to perfection, and topped with king crab Oscar--SO much crab, I was impressed. They used to have the best steak tartare in the city, but switched it up--I opt for the beef carpaccio now which is served with fried goat cheese balls (love)!

What a wonderful experience!!! We had a relatively early reservation, (which I'd recommend) and were asked to have a seat in the dimly lit bar. Lovely atmosphere. The drink selection was very high end with numerous top shelf option. We were then seated for dinner. The steak and seafood options are incredible. Tons of choices most of which are presented raw to help with your selection. The whole night was a great experience... truly dining not just eating.

Great food!! Great ambiance! Service was impeccable! Loved the elite, filet mignon Ceasar, crab cake, fries & caviar were all delicious! Definitely did not disappoint

If you are looking for a place that is lively and serves good food and drinks, this is the place. It can be considered loud so not a place for romantic quiet dinner. The service is excellent. The steaks were good, nothing extraordinary. Surprisingly they offers sushi which we ordered for appetizers. They were sushi bar quality. A couple of us ordered the signature cotton candy martini. Very cool. A little on sweet side but tasty. Overall experience was a fun one with good food.

Came here with a couple of friends for a celebratory dinner. We had a reservation so there was no wait. The inside is fancy, but casual at the same time. Tables are pretty close together, but we still enjoyed our experience. Our server greeted us and did a great job of explaining the menu to us. It was our first time so our server brought out a caviar plate with the bread basket and thought that was a nice touch. The protein platter was very interesting and our server did a very good job of explaining the cuts to us. We decided to go with the 48oz porterhouse to share between the three of us. For our sides, we chose the mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, and sautéed broccoli. All the sides were great, the steak was delicious and so tender. It was also cooked perfectly. Service was pretty perfect, as well. We will definitely be returning.

I think it's a "one and done" for me. I'll start with the good. Service was phenomenal! I love the detailed walkthrough of the menu. Everyone around us was very attentive and intuitive. To their credit, we were asked multiple times whether or not we were enjoying ourselves. The blackberry margarita was good, not too sweet and strong. We shared creme brûlée for dessert and it was my favorite meal of the 3 courses. We sat near the kitchen entrance in a dark area so I don't have any comments about ambience. I think the system was based on arrival time and party size. There's no way around it, the steak was bland. I wish I'd ordered a topping for it. The short rib appetizer was salty, but tender. I guess they balanced each other. The fried rice that comes with the short rib was absolutely amazing. I'd eat that as a standalone dish. The wagyu dumplings were okay, not memorable. Overall, I understand how reviews can be inconsistent for this place because I could see how some people are probably regulars and how some wouldn't return.

Went for NYE dinner and the holiday decor was festive and fun. The service was wonderful, from the hostesses to the wait staff. The food was very good, but it was really the atmosphere and service that added to this great evening out.

We came here based on a recommendation from a friend who loves it. The food was subpar. I was expecting to be blown away but it was just average. We showed up 15 mins before our reservation time and waited almost an hour to be seated. It was New Year's Eve but What's the point of reservations if you don't really have a reserved time. As we were waiting I read the reviews and it seems to be the same thing said over and over again about wait times for reservations. Obviously no changes have been made. My takeaway from that is they don't care. Our waiter was very kind, quick and informative. The one good thing we took away from our first and probably last time there.

We had an awesome dinner here recently. Our booth was comfortable. The dining room lighting set a romantic vibe. Our waiter was personable and gave great recommendations. We started with a sushi roll. The sea bass, filet and lobster mac and cheese were incredible. We also ordered a half order of the red velvet cake to-go and it was delicious. We portioned out 8 servings! We can't wait to come back.

First time i went to this place for my friend's birthday dinner. I'm not impressed with my seabass platter and brussel sprouts. The seabass is their weekly special menu. I like the seabass, it's cooked perfectly. But the goat cheese grits don't compliment it. It comes with this gumbo rice with pastry crust on top. It's way too salty. The brussel sprouts is alright, it's not the crispy type like what i like from other place. The Bang Bang Broccoli is highly recommended! It's delicious. The celebration cake is moist, good, and presented very well for special occassion. The ambiance is intimate, romantic, and fancy. Service is wonderful. I'd like to come back to try their steak next time.

Had reservations for 7 pm last night for my boyfriend's birthday, with two other family members. We arrived 5 minutes early & was told to wait in the bar & they will find us when our table was ready. It was super crowded & you could tell many people were waiting for tables as well. We had 2 drinks each ($200 bar tab) At 7:45 we asked the hostess when our table would be ready and she rudely said she had no idea and please step aside so that she can help others. We asked to speak to the manager, who was also not very friendly and very unaccommodating. He told us the same thing he wasn't able to tell us when we were going to be seated. We kept asking if he can give us an approximate time & he said he couldn't tell us, but finally said maybe in 45 minutes. This is absolutely unacceptable to have reservations and wait this long! We went ahead and left and we did receive a call from the manager around 8 PM saying our table is ready, but I'm sure it was only because we complained ! I think it's very common for restaurants to overbook these days because they're greedy. They want you to come in possibly have some cocktails and rack up a big bill so at least they get something from you even if you don't stay for dinner. Completely ridiculous. I will never be back!

Even with reservations, expect to wait a while to get seated. We ordered calamari and caviar to start but the steak and surf n turf was the star of the show. Pricey but worth it. The ambiance wasn't as romantic as I thought, it's pretty loud inside. Overall, the food is delicious and well worth the wait.

Came for our 10 year anniversary dinner. They gave us complimentary sparkling apple cider and it was delicious. We don't drink and I don't like sparkling drinks, but it was really good. The Dr Pepper I ordered had a strange taste to it. I took two sips and didn't touch it again. I don't recall this place being so loud the last few times we were here. We could barely hear each other being 3 feet away at the table even though we were seated in the corner. The service was great as usual, they have tons of staff available to help. The calamari is really mushy and didn't have much flavor. Wouldn't recommend it. The long bone cowboy and lobster thermador were delicious. The filet mignon wasn't the best, it was something anyone could make at home really. The long bone cowboy comes on a bed of spinach and it's a lot of spinach. The Brussels sprouts were good, some pieces are a bit bitter. The duck duck mac was good, there's not a lot of duck pieces in it, but it was good. There was something wrong with their machines and we had to wait 5-10 minutes for them to get it resolved. They bring the handheld device to your table and stand there awkwardly while you tip. I hate places that do that.

Be ready for Sinatra music, celebrities, and wildly good food. Be ready to spend big bucks. Be ready to be blown away if you go all out. This is one of the only restaurants I've been to where you can get a Wagyu beef flight - which we did. Started off with the Japanese smashed cocktail which was great, but at $38? Come on! The fried calamari was fantastic and you can tell they batter it in house, no frozen funny business here. Served with a roasted garlic aioli which had lots of deep garlic flavor and traditional marinara. The steak tartare was shredded almost into a paste-like texture with a strong beef flavor and some pickled onions on top. The quality is there with no need to be hidden behind any mustards or pickles. For the mains we did something completely unconventional and to celebrate a special occasion, ordered the 4 most expensive wagyu filets to split: Miyazaki, Ohmi, Snow Beef, and Kobe. It was a culinary experience all on its own. Salted and charred to a beautiful medium rare. Each slightly different but melt in your mouth. Meat doesn't get better than this. Period. The 4 filets pictured were $860, so again, totally unconventional from the regular steakhouse cuts. We split two half portion sides, the duck confit Mac and cheese which was rich, creamy, and small amounts of shredded duck mixed in. The second side was the king crab elote corn salad which is a unique and standout side, one of the best I've ever had at a steakhouse. It's creamy, spicy, and has a great Smokey char from the corn. To cap off the meal we split a half size slice of carrot cake. Big, dense, not overly sweet, perfectly executed with fresh fruit on top and a scoop of super creamy vanilla ice cream. Service start to finish was excellent, with our waiter being very knowledgeable about the cuts and extensive menu. Nick & Sam's made my first trip to Dallas unforgettable, and I hope to be back someday.

I will preface by saying I am usually quite particular about high end steakhouses as many of them overcharge and don't deliver an expected level of food quality. Nick and Sam's is one of the few that actually exceeded my expectations. The staff is knowledgeable, personable, and attentive. The menu has a good selection and is accommodating for most anyone's preferences. The food presentation here is great and everything I had was of the highest quality, from the steaks, the sides, soups, you name it. I enjoyed every bite. The only let down was the rainbow cake. Yes the presentation was cool and all, but it is the definition of stunt food (looks great, tastes mediocre) ; literally only order it for a social media post- its also very expensive. The only downside is that the place is a bit crowded and tables can be a bit close together, but I guess theres a reason for that!

Very disappointed! My chosen restaurant to end the New Year did not come close to meeting our expectations. The service was poor! We did not receive our appetizers. The waitress took nearly 20 minutes to take our order and intentionally avoided checking on our table during our visit while checking on tables around us. She displayed a terrible attitude. I canceled the appetizers due to finishing dinner and never receiving it nor the meal that I was taking home to the sitter. Yes, the food was tasteful, but at room temperature. Considering the day (12/31), I would normally be more understanding, however, because I witnessed others receiving a different standard of service, I cannot overlook the experience. Waitress, do better - you represent the Brand of this business!

We had a great birthday dinner at Nick and Sam's. It's the perfect restaurant for a celebration dinner and we will definitely be back!

Nick and Sam's is great!! The sushi is so good. Ian, our server is A+. Highly recommend him. Bone in filet is perfect. Bone marrow sauce is great. BBQ sauce is no good. Corn is great. Wine is perfect. This restaurant is a must for a steakhouse. Love it. Great atmosphere

I have given 5 stars for more than 10 years, recently visited the steak is still perfect temperature and excellent. Even though my days of corporate world had ended but I can see Nick & Sam's still presents excellent choices, serves with perfect temperature. I also have seen managers and servers in many generations, noticing Nick & Sam's standard has dropped. Understanding new music choices and more relax dress codes but some jokes or touching customers may still in practices, knowing Michelin coming in town, perhaps it's good idea to gear up. The piano in the main dining needs to increase volume, our table was in the second row from kitchen but we hardly hear piano. Main thing that needs improvement is the firework candles for birthday, I almost fainted when the 2 tables around me celebrated their birthday. The smokes in main dining closed environment in hot summer and A/C is not always running. It's too uncomfortable for many people. Overall was great, always happy and fun when dine at Nick & Sam's

Calamari, steak and Carrot cake with a bottle of caymus. (Even this you can get the bottle cheaper at the store ) My favorite date nice spot! Customer service is a 1000/1000!

Great birthday experience with excellent service. Hands down the best service I've ever had. Shout out to Blake! Food was ok tho. It wasn't crazy delicious like I had hope. The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The sides tho lacked a little bit and I chose a gigantic shrimp to accompany my steak but the ended up giving me two smaller ones telling me it wasn't available. Like I literally just seen it, And it was $40 for a shrimp. I needed that huge one lol. Overall tho I had a good time and really enjoyed the service. Much more than I enjoyed the food.

Dined here for Dallas Restaurant Week with a couple of ladies and it was an ok experience. They do provide valet and there is street parking if you're able to find a spot. Upon arrival, we were seated fairly quickly but the table we were seated at was terrible. There was no space to be comfortable with people consistently squeezing through and we were literally on top of other guests. The customer service from our waitress was well and she was very attentive, explained the menu well, etc. I ordered the romaine salad, miso salmon, and bread pudding for desert along with the salmon nigiri as an appetizer. I really enjoyed the salmon nigiri and romaine salad. The bread pudding was tasty and a nice ending to the meal. The salmon itself was very dry even with the miso glaze and it sat a top a bed of gummy noodles (not good at all). *I have attached pics of the other food items that was ordered as well.* I was able to taste the oysters and they were delicious! Overall, the meal itself had its highlights and low points but the tight seating made for an uncomfortable dining experience.

This is my second time visiting Nick & Sam's and they continue to provide exceptional service! We had a party of 10 for my friends birthday and our server did a phenomenal job. I shared the 48oz Porterhouse steak with two of my friends and a side of the elote and a few other things shared among the table. Overall the food is great and the ambiance is fun. I always leave feeling fulfilled and cannot wait to return when I am in Dallas.

U all can see the reviews r fantastic let's add 1 more to the list! Food-fantastic beyond exceptional! The Tommy hawk big bad boy is a MUST! Share it cause it's literally massive unless u r on protein diet! The sushi-Jesus take the wheel delicious. Yall when they say lobster there is a big juicy lobster in this roll. They aren't playing with fake or "stuffer" style lobster roll. It's the mother fing LOBSTER! get it trust me-your welcome! I'm not a side person but the peeps with me are so they look like they enjoyed it. Some "tik tok" influencer was there this night and was beyond annoying with his camera set up but besides that the restaurant was a bang! The music and the bar area is life! If u don't want to see hot, attractive people stay away from the bar it's not your scene. Oh I almost forgot the desserts are super fun and massive but do it for the photo opp then eating cause baby it's like 900 calories for a slice #justsayin

I went here for my 30th birthday and ate a meal for a Queen! ‍ I had my first taste of Cavier (which did not taste bad) it was complimentary so another reason to try this place out. We ordered deviled eggs (they were okay). The real star of the show was the steak though. It had great marbling and was very seasoned.

Exceptional food as well as service. The ambience is out of this world. I would recommend this establishment to anyone that comes to the DFW area.

This Steakhouse was suggested to me for years by so many people, but we finally had the opportunity to visit. The atmosphere was vibrant and so dynamic, this is not a quiet or somber Steakhouse. There was an energy in the air and live piano music. The food was described and then served to us wonderfully. The deviled eggs were the best that I had ever had and steak was cooked to perfection. I cannot wait to return.

Food Was Great! 7 Layer cake is AMAZING!! Service Was Great Coffee was great would definitely come here again

Great ambiance and vibe. Great steak. Ordered the porterhouse, Cooked to perfection. Fresh ingredients used in the salads. Service was good and attentive. Very quick dinner delivery. May feel a bit rushed.
