Executive chef: Samir Dhurandhar

From the OpenTable editors: Open since 1999, Nick & Sam’s is still one of Dallas's top steakhouses. Encouraged by Julia Child to pursue his culinary dreams, the talented chef Samir Dhurandhar serves up a menu of rare Japanese steaks and decadent seafood-forward dishes like lobster mac and cheese, all in a lively, sophisticated dining room with live piano music. Round out the fancy meal with a glass from the 500-plus wine bottle selection.

    it was a $350 dinner for two with a bottle of wine. Wine was a $25 bottle at Cosco but $150 at Nick and Sams. However, the food was the most disappointed. The filet I ordered did not seemingly have any seasoning on it and was not cooked completely. The au gratin potatoes were not near as good as what I make on my own stove. Cesear salad was delicious. However the waiter brought the salad and the appetizer out at the same time. This is really irritating to me because one is warming up and the other is cooling off while I am trying to consume them simultaneously. Overall...I will probably not go back because there are other alternative in Dallas that are better for less $$$

    Oh, Nick & Sam's, how I have wanted to LOVE you. I have tried, and tried, and tried...but I just can't get there. And it honestly starts with the hostesses. They always seem put out or bothered when we check in for our reservation. Their heads are down in their iPads...not smiling at guests. The table is never ready. Last night the manager brought over glasses of prosecco because the wait was so long and we were about to walk. The restaurant itself is always just so loud. I had requested a "quieter" table and we were seated right next to a table of 20 and another of 8 and another of probably 10. We did hint that it was really a loud table and were graciously moved into the next room over, which was much better! Food was ok. Wagyu was wonderful. Desserts were ok. Matt, our waiter, did a great job. A $700 meal for 3 people should be stellar...and it's just not. For us, we'll stick to Al's, Truluck's, and Capital Grille. They are always happy we are there!

    We celebrated my son’s 27th birthday last night, and Benny made the whole night unforgettable. You can tell he loves what he does — the way he treats people, the energy he brings, the way he makes you feel like you’re the only table in the room. We need more Bennys at restaurants. Truly one of a kind!

    It was the most wonderful 1st experience! The food was amazing - we ordered rib eye, lamb chops, lobster Mac n cheese, damn good fries, cesar salad and crab cake.. and of course The Celebration cake! Can’t beat the ambience and the best service from Luis and his helpers. We can’t wait to go back! I’m glad we chose to celebrate my birthday there 😊

    Major disappointment I was reminded of Nick & Sam’s while watching a special on the chef on YouTube. I was excited to book to celebrate my daughter’s 18th birthday and my 22nd anniversary. Unfortunately, there was nothing amazing about our experience. My evening was disappointing due to your lack of focus on delivering a personalized experience to your customers. I had to remind our server about our anniversary and considering we had a bill over $500, I would have expected some celebratory offering or acknowledgement. Next, there were four of us and while we sat at a table for four, there was limited space for our beverages, appetizers and food. It was quite condensed and did not demonstrate a relaxing environment. Additionally, I was quite shocked at the mediocrity of the food. It lacked flavor and the presentation was equivalent to a chain. In fact, when my fried lobster was brought to the table, a piece was knocked off the plate and wasn’t attempted to be neatly placed back by the server. No one at our table enjoyed the food and that was more disappointing than the experience itself. My son ordered a rack of lamb to only be brought two lamb shanks. And if the above wasn’t enough of a sub par experience, the valet mistakenly brought our car to another guest, then parked it in a new location and was unable to match the car with the key, resulting in a wait of more than 15 minutes. I conclude this note in saying that Nick & Sam’s have successfully continued to ride the wave of the most pretentious in Dallas and possibly the experience of the past. But take note that consumer expectations have shifted and value for the money will continue to be a focal point in our society. Customer exper
