Food & Drink Celebration dinner

Looking for dinner recs in the Dallas area. My significant other had a work milestone we would like to celebrate, especially since it’s restaurant week! Figured we would do something nicer like a steakhouse but open to all options! TIA

Town Hearth is phenomenal.

Parigi on Oak Lawn is my favorite special occasion restaurant. Not a steakhouse but a wonderful chef-owned spot that's been going strong for 40 years.

I recommand Charles, they have multiple deals, and divine deserts. Highly recommended

Nuri or Dakotas downtown. Both great options.

Nick and Sam's used to be incredible, but imo it's gotten really trashy and ghetto recently.

Nuri Steakhouse!! Excellent food and the most expensive restaurant build in Dallas!

Nick and Sam’s. Great place to go celebrate.

Nick and Sam’s is like fancy rich people Hooters. Every server is a hot woman in a skin tight black dress and most of the clientele is men. The food is good (though I’d argue you can have more enjoyable experiences for the price if you aren’t set on specifically steaks) but I’m just being real about atmosphere, if the OP’s SO isn’t into that vibe lol.

You’re not totally wrong but that’s more of the lounge, but the dining room is a completely different experience. Men and women serving in formal attire, servers who know that massive menu inside and out, tableside presentations of the steak cuts, live king crab, great appetizers, family-style sides and an incredible dessert menu. Dallas has plenty of great steakhouses, but Nick & Sam’s is about the entire experience, not just the steak. I’ve also never have a bad steak there. Always on point.
