I came to dine here on Monday night with my aunt, and we were attended by the lovely Grace. It was our first time at the restaurant, and we loved the atmosphere. The artwork aspect is a phenomenal touch. We had such a wonderful time. Grace brought us a complimentary caviar snack, and the manager Austin also offered us free champagne and took care of our desserts. My aunt doesn’t eat pork, and Grace was very mindful about respecting her dietary restriction. Nick & Sam’s definitely cares about making their customer’s experience the utmost best.
We had a really great experience here. First off the bar is fantastic and a good time, great atmosphere and beautiful building. We did have to wait a little longer than expected because the hosts forgot about us, there’s probably a slightly better system they can use to remember who is who and where in the bar to find us but, all was immediately forgiven because the manager Weiland came by immediately with some complementary champagnes for and apologized for it, he was incredibly professional and well spoken. Really great guy. The food was fantastic. The steaks, the spinach was probably the best spinach I’ve ever tried in my entire life, the mashed potatoes and prawns were excellent. Can’t forget about the oysters. Multiple oyster options, all the good stuff! Our server Tiffany was amazing, she explained our menu options perfectly and gave us fantastic knowledge of everything we asked for as well as what we can do after in the area since we’re not from here. She was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, kind and professional. Can’t say enough great things, truly. I can appreciate the mini mag-lites all the servers carry around, they have a very soft and warm temperature in their beam which is perfect for illuminating the steak and seafood options as well as the menu without being hard on the eyes. Very professional. I’m a flashlight nerd so I must take the time to acknowledge the flashlights to satisfy the itch in my monkey brain. Thank you. Our experience was terrific here and we will absolutely be returning and recommending to others. At one point a busboy was careless and blew the confetti (signifies birthday) into our food when he was setting a different table and Weiland immediately came and took care of us, got us right with what we needed in a matter of seconds. He is absolutely one of the most professional managers we’ve ever seen. Fantastic. Genuinely. Man operates on 0 delay. I have 0 bad things to say. At all! To the owner or anyone above him, give him and your staff 2 pats on the back and maybe a bonus or something because they’re excellent and the restaurant is undoubtedly lucky to have them! I’d also like to acknowledge another server Jared, for being incredibly professional and kind, everyone really went above and beyond. Jared showed me his flashlight and even gave us helped us out on multiple occasions, we’ll absolutely be back to visit you guys. Thanks! And see ya’ll someday soon
This was my first time in Dallas, and after receiving a strong recommendation from a highly renowned NYC chef, I knew I had to check out Chef Samir’s restaurant, Nick & Sam’s. I’m so glad I did because it was absolutely incredible. We were taken care of by our server, Zach. His energy and enthusiasm truly elevated the entire experience. Additionally, we were so honored that Sean, the manager came over to warmly introduce himself and checked in on us throughout the evening. He was fantastic. You can tell the staff at Nick and Sams truly care about their guests. From the food to the service to the overall vibe, everything was outstanding. I’m so happy I came here as this will absolutely be my go-to spot whenever I’m in Dallas.
Fantastic steakhouse, strongly recommended! The food menu is mouthwatering and quite varied. The staff is friendly and have a good notion of what hospitality means. Can't go wrong with this restaurant if you're in Dallas, one of the best dinner I've had in North America !
My husband and I went to Nick & Sam's for the first time to celebrate my birthday. We were welcomed warmly and promptly shown to our table. Our waitress Olivia promptly came, introduced herself and said Happy Birthday as she added glitter to our table. From there we were awarded with smiles, complimentary champagne and caviar platter. Olivia very eloquently and efficiently presented the meat platter. it was hard to decide which cut looked more appetizing. We ordered our meal and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the red snapper and hubby had filet mignon. the portions were generous, and the taste was fresh and savory. then came dessert ... we ordered the carrot cake was HUGE (and we ordered the 1/2 portion). Dinner at Nick & Sam's is an experience - from the warm welcome to Olivia's attentiveness to the staff stopping by to say Happy Birthday. Nick & Sam's is more than a menu ... it's an adventure!! we can't wait to come back!!
Steakhouse Review #3: Nick & Sam's Made reservations for Friday night at 7:30 pm and arrived a bit early. Parking here seems to be just valet unless you want to park down the street. Greeted by about four young hosts dressed in chic black dresses and looking amazing. We were directed to wait by the bar and my crew ordered the Barbie (praise) and espresso martinis (meh). Waited about 30 minutes and given a table that was through the kitchen and in a small 8 table “closet” room in the back. It took away from the luster of it all but, hey, we were there for the food. The atmosphere in the main dining room was vibrant and loud with mostly men in suits and a slightly gaudy/flashy vibe that fairs well with “look at me” folks. It does feel like an experience though. Our waiter, which I’ll get to later, was fine. We were brought a live crab to the table and seeing the thing on a huge platter winking at me in desperation was a tad off putting. Ordered drinks and the table was brought a complimentary caviar platter. Apparently, it was fine. We ordered the filet, au gratin potatoes, short rib fried rice, and Mac and cheese (also ordered brussels but they never came out). The filet was top notch and just about perfection. Tender, cooked to perfection, and tasty. They bring it with their signature steak sauce and when I tell you it is the worst I have had, I mean it. Think melted licorace. The Mac and cheese was also above average but I know there’s better out there somewhere. That short rib fried rice though…slappin!!!! It was a large side and the cilantro rice, eggs, and soy complimented the tender short ribs perfectly. Im still thinking about it. The potatoes were fine but I don’t know if anyone will beat Pappas Bros in that department. We ordered a giant piece of housemade chocolate cake that could feed 7 and it was really good. Not too sweet, fairly moist, and the icing was primo. No tears but the rice got me close. Went with a couple friends and everyone seemed to enjoy it. They don’t split checks so one of us paid and after doing so the waiter just stood there and waited for us to figure out the cash tip. I gotta say it was awkward and I looked at him and said “didn’t we already pay?” but he just kept standing there. Honestly, he would have gotten a better tip had we had time to figure it out. The whole meal was a bit over $500 and we left $120. For our portion, it was $180 and we left a $40 tip and tipped the valet $5. Total was $225. Food: 9/10 Ambience: 8/10 Service: 7.5/10 Next up is Al Biernat’s and, yes, this is still so fun. If you ever want to join us, let me know! Much love and happy dining. Rank: 1. Nick & Sam’s 2.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nick & Sam’s is the definition of opulence done right. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels electric—luxurious without being stuffy, energetic without being chaotic. It’s a scene, but one that delivers substance to match the style. The food is truly world-class. Every dish is executed with precision, from perfectly cooked steaks to indulgent sides that easily steal the spotlight. The cocktails and wine program are equally impressive—expertly crafted, thoughtfully curated, and worthy of lingering just a little longer at the table. What really sets Nick & Sam’s apart, though, is the service. Attentive, polished, and genuinely warm, the staff goes above and beyond to make the experience feel special without ever being intrusive. You’re not just dining—you’re being taken care of. Whether it’s a celebration, a business dinner, or just a night you want to do right, Nick & Sam’s delivers on every level. Dallas classic for a reason.
