Steakhouse with proprietary Harwood Beef, extensive wine list
"This seventh-floor spot inside Hotel Swexan is like stepping into a rich cattle baron’s mansion, with dark woods and plush green drapery that creates private nooks for dates and conspiratorial meetings. The cattle in question is sourced from the restaurant’s own line of locally raised, prime graded Akaushi beef, so you won’t find these exact steaks anywhere else in town. They’ve got all the classic cuts, plus a tender hanger steak ideal for dining solo at the bar, and a thick, 16-ounce Delmonico that’s richly marbled and deeply flavorful when you want to splurge a little. The extensive sauce menu includes a couple unexpected picks. We like the blistered chiles or the roasted poblano salsa to offset some of that beefy richness." - kevin gray

"In March 2025, Stillwell’s launched a tasting menu. The steakhouse inside the Michelin Key-winning Hotel Swexan in the Harwood District offers seven courses for $125 per person that is fixated on showcasing the HWD beef program, which is exclusive to Harwood Hospitality restaurants. The set menu offers dishes including HWD beef tartare on toasted brioche with Dijon cream, beef dumplings, charred carrots, and a dry-aged strip. This tiny steakhouse tucked away in the hotel is a stunning room. The wood-paneled walls of the entrance are lined with black and white photos of celebrities who visited the ranch HWD beef comes from, and inside is a cozy room full of green velvet seats and dark wood. It also has one of the best wine lists in the city." - Courtney E. Smith
"Visiting Stillwell’s downtown, I noted you can order a 42-ounce Tomahawk steak and that they serve their own ultra high-end, locally graded Akaushi beef raised on a nearby ranch." - AFAR
"The low lights and moody decor in this room make it the spot for an anniversary or special date night; the steak from Harwood’s proprietary beef program is unparalleled even in a city like Dallas, known for its many great steaks. Make it a night and linger at the bar at Stillwell’s for a cocktail and appetizer first, then head downstairs to Babou’s to extend the evening. And don’t miss a selfie with Big Tex by the elevators." - Courtney E. Smith
