About the restaurant

Sevy's Grill has been a Dallas favorite since 1997 serving the finest ingredients with a creative American flair. The menu features steaks, seafood, pastas and daily specials, that utilizes a wood burning grill for added flavor. We offer a range of libations in our bar, including over 60 varieties of scotch and over 60 wines by the glass.
Designed by Paul Draper, the Arts and Crafts influenced interior creates a comfortable, warm environment highlighted by the amber glow of the back-lit bar. Weather permitting, the French doors along the front of the restaurant open to one of the patios.
With a private dining room with a gas burning fireplace, two covered patios, and an outdoor putting green, we have something for everyone.
Complimentary valet, off-site catering and unique menus for special events are additional services we are pleased to offer our guests.
Come on in and meet Sevy, Stefaan, Frank and Buzzy - they guarantee your enjoyment.

Another great meal and experience at El Carlos Elegante! We started with cocktails, Cherry Moon and Negroni Cafe, and both were great. The one-hitters, Surf + Turf and Brisket, were exceptional. Don’t miss those two! The Salmon Ceviche and Okra + Shishitos were spot on as usual. We rounded out our meal with a hand-made masa, Chorizo Molotes, which was delicious. Nice crunch on the masa, stuffed with chorizo and refried beans and served with warm salsa roja. The atmosphere was cozy and festive at the same time. To add to the fun, the restaurant was tastefully decorated for the holidays. We’ll definitely be back. A “go-to” restaurant for us. The food and service never disappoints.

I will continue to return to Moxie’s because of the inclusive consistent experience I have each visit. From the moment I walk in the door, everyone greets with eye contact and a welcoming smile. Hospitality is always felt even when a happy hour with friends extends longer than expected. Noah provided an exemplary experience yesterday.
