Knife Italian Steak

This is my second time at Knife Italian. About a year ago my experience didn't meet my expectations... but this year they far exceeded it. Our server Crystal was absolutely amazing! She was real and kind, and made great recommendations. Checked on us enough that we never wanted for anything, but not so much that we felt interrupted or rushed. Other servers helped bus the table and kept our waters full at all times. As you can see, the food was amazing! The steak and deserts were my favorite, lobster ravioli, focaccia, then pizza. The drinks are in a category of their own. They really pride themselves on the Italian tradition of complex aperitifs. The decor is a little 'island-y.' When it gets dark outside, the restaurant gets pretty dark. The valet is complimentary when you dine at the restaurant, and the valets were very on top of it! We had a great time! I am so glad we went back!

So sad. I booked a day at spa for myself and had them book me lunch. This restaurant needs a lot of help. Almost every table got meal comped. Meals took over hour, restaurant practically empty on holiday weekend. My pasta was not cooked. I know al dente, this pasta was hard & got stuck in my teeth. They offered to make again and I said just needed something fast. The drink took 30 mins. to get. While this dumpster fire is happening, my waitress tells me she will go on break but I'll be taken care of. Never saw anyone again. I feel bad bc I have no idea what is going on behind scenes but for a "celebrity chef restaurant" to be so poorly run on all levels is beyond my comprehension level. The hotel as a whole is just meh. It's sad to see properties struggling especially since this is a new acquisition for Ritz. Better send in the A team bc it's amateur hour at Las Colinas Ritz.No offense but the vibe of this place has been off for 30+ years since it was a country club. I feel like they built it on scared grounds bc grounds are beautiful and the ancestors of whatever tribe lived there going to make sure no one has a good time. Ever.

Let's say 3.5. The space is beautiful when you walk in, with a cozy small luxe bar/waiting area where we ordered a cocktail. The Il Posto is one of their takes on the Negroni and I could drink those all night. Our server was friendly but a bit distracted at times. We were a group of four and took some time for our drinks. The amuse bouche had a lovely truffle flavor. It was all just so so from there. I had the fennel salad, while flavorful was oddly soggy and not the texture I was expecting. Entree was good, the lobster agnolotti was cooked perfectly. Fairly small portion for a hefty price, however. Tried the prawn tagliatelle that someone else ordered and it had a fishy taste to me, maybe because they were the head on prawns but did not enjoy at all. We passed on dessert but received some delicious macaroons with our bill. I usually am a little wary of restaurants located in hotels and this visit reminded me why.

This restaurant is beautiful amazing color scheme and ambience. The food is good in the service is OK.

Finally Las Colinas has an upscale Italian restaurant!! It's inside the Ritz Carlton. Service was great and the runners were describing the dishes as they brought it to the table.They served complimentary focaccia bread with butter in the beginning and fruit jellies at the end. For apps we ordered garlic bread bruschetta and truffle fries. Truffle fries were my favorite out of the two.For main course we ordered Margarita pizza and Spaghetti cacio e pepe. Spaghetti was delicious and pizza was thin crust with perfect amount of basil on the top. For dessert we ordered torta pistocchi which was really smooth and rich.Overall the experience and service were amazing!! I would go back and highly recommend this place to everyone.Valet is complimentary and they left a chilled bottle of water complimentary which was nice touch.

Foodie Alert! Guess where I just dined? Knife Italian Chef John Tesar's amazing Italian Steakhouse at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton in Las Colinas.The atmosphere is such a vibe. The moment you step inside, you're met by the hostesses in a vibrant room filled with colorful decor, beautiful flowers, and intriguing abstract mirrors. The apps and food were pretty good. I enjoyed my Buffalo burrata salad and lobster pasta.... As a bonus, the pasta heated up very well the next day. To top it off, the service was excellent, and they paid very close attention to detail. My only con is there was some private party being held and they were very noisy. But overall I enjoyed my experience and would dine there again. So go check them out and tell them Ms. Hope sent you!

Had an amazing experience here, dining with my sister for lunch. Informed them of my gluten allergy and they made sure to accommodate any allergies, and let me know if they have gluten-free pasta, risotto, and even gluten-free bread, among other options. The manager, Colby, even came over and made sure everything was to our liking, and our servers (Aleyda and Mariana) were absolutely wonderful and constantly checking up on us to make sure we were happy and we had everything we needed. Not to mention they were incredibly sweet and professional. The ambience is definitely more peaceful during the day, but in the evening it turns into this beautiful, Tulum jungle experience. Next time we visit Dallas, we will make sure to come back here! Highly recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Knife, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was absolutely delightful, combining modern elegance with a cozy, welcoming vibe. The design of the restaurant is fantastic, with every detail thoughtfully curated to create a beautiful and comfortable space.The food was nothing short of amazing. Each dish was a testament to the chef's skill and creativity, bursting with flavor and presented with artistic flair. The menu offered plenty of food and drink options, ensuring that there was something to satisfy every palate.The service was impeccable. The staff were not only friendly but also incredibly attentive, making sure that we felt well taken care of throughout our meal. It was evident that the chef takes great pride in their work, and the passion for creating exceptional food shone through in every bite.Additionally, valet parking is available, making it convenient for guests to visit. Overall, Knife provides a dining experience that is hard to beat. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal in a great setting.

Open less than two weeks and they're off to a great start! The service was awesome - multiple parties helping throughout our meal were all extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The restaurant is very nicely decorated and has comfortable seating too. It's a decent size and can certainly accommodate large groups.Every dish we ordered was on point. Be advised, the dishes/portion sizes are large. We were able to split a salad and ended up with lots of leftovers from the two entrees we ordered. The eggplant parmigiana was the best I've ever had...thinly cut, nicely breaded (not overly), and in some type of basil sauce that was delicious. The yellowtail crudite was super fresh and melted in your mouth. It's too bad we didn't leave room for dessert, as their selections looked tempting.

Knife Italian is the hotel restaurant located in the Ritz-Carlton (formerly Four Seasons) in Las Colinas. This restaurant has undergone many names/changes and the newest restaurant it helmed by Chef John Tesar of Knife. It's an Italian steakhouse, and unfortunately is only good if you're on a business trip.My Overall Rating - 2 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food)Atmosphere - The first major change of the restaurant will be seen as you enter. The entrance is filled with bright colors and mirrors. I felt like I was walking through a live Picasso paining. But like art, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. While it's not my taste, it may be yours. 1/2 Star.Service - The service was excellent. This was the best part of my dining experience. The servers took their time, were very attentive, and if I needed something (I didn't) I'm sure they would have accommodated. The service is on par with what you would get from the finest restaurants. 1 Star.Food - Unfortunately, the food didn't match the service. We started with a fresh bread basket with soft butter. The light & airy, warm bread (not sure what it was) was fantastic. However, it was one of the few highlights of my meal. We started with a King Salmon appetizer. Red Flag #1 - the salmon tasted fishy. Knife Italian is billed as an Italian steakhouse, so I ordered a bone-in ribeye medium rare. The steak was served family style, cut in small strips. Red Flag #2 - The steak was thin (I think this is Italian style), but very chewy and more on the medium-well side. While I appreciated the family style presentation, the $90 steak wasn't grilled well. In lieu of a side, I ordered the pappardelle pasta - now this was very good. Pappardelle are long, wide pasta noodles tossed in a delicious beef bolognaise. Pro Tip - use any remaining bread to dip in the bolognaise and soak up the sauce. Finally - Red Flag #3 - Knife Italian is uber expensive. Even for a hotel restaurant. Expect to pay up to 40% more. 1/2 Star.Will I Return? - Not unless I'm on company expense. I would only recommend Knife Italian to someone who is staying at the hotel on a business trip and they don't want to leave the hotel. There are much better (and cheaper) options in Las Colinas. No stars.
