Nuri Steakhouse Reviews

Don’t be fooled by the hype of this shiny, overly designed gem of steakhouse, It’s a rhinestone. The booming voice of our boisterous server set the tone for a rough night. With every chance to upsell the menu, it was clear she seemed more interested in making a buck than providing good service. Her inattentiveness and slow pacing of the meal became arduous throughout the night. Our martinis arrived in a one-ounce cordial glass, the slap across the face came later with the bill of $22 buck for Grey Goose Vodka as opposed to the $17 dollar Chopin we asked for. You can buy an entire bottle at that price. One of the two appetizers we started with made the cut. While the pricey crab cake tasted fine the octopus was cold, chewy and repulsively inedible. The dish included the most disgusting thing I’ve ever tasted at a restaurant, a cold brussels sprout that was charred on the outside and yet somehow nearly raw. After sending the octopus away, we were offered and charged for a second $30 crab cake. A ninety-five-dollar 22-ounce steak arrived next, if indeed it was 22 ounces, it looked more like 16 at best. Half fat, half chewy meat, the eight-dollar kimchi butter didn’t help matters. I thought the point of the bland butter was to spice the dish up which it did not. The theme of chewy, cold and bland continued with the side of wild mushrooms. Likened to strips of softened leather, any animal foraging in the woods would take a pass on this bowl of nastiness. For dessert, twenty dollars’ worth of whipped cream, a few sliced strawberries and a whiff of sponge cake coated my mouth in an unpleasant way. Two bites into a bourbon pecan pie composed of a dry pile of toasted nuts in a tough shell ended this sad meal. As these two dishes were touted as the server’s favorites, clearly, she has no taste. Expect to wait well beyond a set reservation time and a bill that will make you cry.

Dinner on a Saturday night. Great service. Beautiful and tasteful environment. We had Cesar salad, regular filets, baked potato and mushrooms and Hamachi appetizer. Steaks cook perfectly. The sides were excellent, and so was salad and appetizer. We are foodies and go to the best restaurants worldwide, so take this review to heart if you are looking for a great meal in Dallas. Total with 2 drinks / 1 wine was approx. $300 plus tip.

We typically do not dine out on Valentine's Day since restaurants are typically overwhelmed and the dining experience suffers. We made an exception this year as we were in the area for a business meeting. We were absolutely thrilled that we chose to dine at Nuri. We have dined at Michelin starred restaurants around the world, so appreciate excellent service and food. We were greeted warmly by the valet and then by the hostess staff at the front door. We were welcomed by everyone we saw and shown to our table. The decor is jazzy art deco. Very good vibe. The level of service throughout the meal was positively outstanding. The food was exceptional. The spring rolls were delicious as was the Hamachi ceviche. I enjoyed the filet - cooked to perfection and my husband loved the rack of lamb. The Kimchi fried rice was very good as were the mushrooms. For dessert we shared the coconut panna cotta and it was the best panna cotta I have ever had - and I have eaten many of them! We typically do not return to restaurants on a regular basis as there are so many places to dine in Dallas, but even before we finished our dinner, we both agreed we would love to return to Nuri - very soon! We were honestly so surprised at the extraordinary service, especially on Valentine's Day. Truly exceptional, in every way.

Bravo! Dallas are you ready for another amazing restaurant to be added to the Michelin star list? WELL! I present NURI STEAK HOUSE!

From the first salutation to the final au revoir, the ambiance of Nuri’s psychic punk twist on Art Deco, AMAZES! The diversity of the audience is masterfully curated to include all backgrounds and budgets; thanks to a star lineup. The exquisitely honed menu of Executive Chef Javier Briones; crafts specialties from rare Japanese Snow Beef, and Hamachi Ceviche to a 40oz Porter House and Caviar service, while Master Sommelier Barbara Whorley, one of 4 female master sommeliers in the world and Texas’ only, directs the more than 60 page wine list satisfying the budget conscious enthusiast, and sophisticated connoisseur simultaneously with a $28,000 Chateau Petrus, Bordeaux. No matter where you’re perched in this sprawling fine dining experience, you’ll be enchanted by the custom illuminations, layered textiles and skillful crafts of local and foreign Artisans. You won’t be able to resist requesting a tour, which Managers such as Shawna Bradshaw beautifully execute with the skills of a seasoned Docent; omitting no details including $90,000 panel doors in the private karaoke salon or the charming members lounge and patio featuring live music on certain nights. My happy place is always occupying a reserved seat at the bar or lounge, where Bar Manager Mitch Hardee insures your evenings are always supreme. My favorites are Japanese whiskey and Wagyu Dumplings; however if you’re a steak and beer person, that can happen too. I’m excited for you to experience Nuri. Say hello if you see me, I love that!
