Was super busy because I went on Valentine’s Day, but despite that the service was still pretty good. It can feel a little crowded because the tables are pretty close, but I think they do a decent job with trying to ensure that they’re separated as much as possible. Was honestly a little underwhelmed by the food given that this place is a Dallas staple, but even though I was underwhelmed the food was still really good.

The Grilled portobello enchiladas were exceptional. Sesame crusted tuna was delicious. The service was good too. I would definitely recommend it. Chocolate bourbon bread pudding was great.

High end restaurant in oak lawn. Food was great! Service was excellent. Atmosphere was very warm & cozy. Had the filet- cooked to perfection! Coconut pie for dessert is over the top delicious! Not sure of prices because it was a business dinner. However, nice restaurant! Try it out! Oh outdoor seating along with nice bar area. Update: went Saturday night for sibling annual holiday dinner. Right before Christmas- food was over the top excellent. Ribeye steak- sea bass- veal - pork chops- veggies- soups / desserts. All amazing. Too bad our waiter had no personality & really short with us & rude. When you’re spending that kind of money- get a personality! Everyone one else was very friendly!

Al Biernat is one of the best steakhouses in Dallas and you will surely meet an important figure when going there. Highly recommend the breaded prawns and crab cakes to start with and make sure to end with the coconut cake. The steaks are solid, not the best you will get in the country, but when paired with the trio of sauces, really great. Expect excellent service and ambience as well.

My honey brought me here for Valentine’s Day and the staff went above and beyond to make our date special. The atmosphere is already amazing on its own, but From the flowers on the table, to a customized specialty mocktail, amazing vegan dishes and delicious desserts, the experience was nothing short of amazing. Landon, Chris and our server Napoleon were absolutely exceptional! I am definitely referring my group here for future outings and I cannot wait to come back for brunch!

One of my absolute favorite spots in Dallas! The food is exceptional, but it’s the top-notch service that truly sets it apart. The cocktails are pure perfection, and the desserts are simply divine. I’ve never had a bad experience here — consistently outstanding every time!

One of the best steakhouses I’ve been to in my whole life. Maybe the best steak I’ve ever had. The lobster risotto was hands down the best risotto I’ve eaten in my life .Iwould give them 6 stars if possible
