Knife Steakhouse - Plano

Every month me and two girlfriends find a unique restaurant that promises great food, good wine and atmosphere. Knife boasts delicious food, decent service and the atmosphere was...just ok. We dined on a Thursday and quite frankly provided all the atmosphere with our fun-loving vibe...per usual. My friends had steak while I opt for the branzino (broiled, whole). Our food was good but due to the average service and atmosphere not sure I'll return any time soon.

We came expecting a unique flavor experience at Chef Tesar’s KNIFE and we walked away satisfied. The best of the night was the Yellowfin. That’s one of those flavor combination discoveries that works in so many ways. It’s a can’t miss. The Cream of Jalapeño soup was refined, deep, rustic, homey, complex, and delightfully inviting. Another can’t miss dish. I didn’t know what to expect from dry aged beef. Now that I do; I can appreciate it for what it is. The meat from 44 farms is premier so you start with an excellent product. The dry age treatment concentrates the beef flavor and sacrifices moisture by design. I know now that I prefer the juice to the concentrated flavor. The 90 day 22 oz bone in New York strip was our choice for the evening. Cheese board, great. Tea Rose and a tasty smoked Spanish cheese were both fun to taste. Lobster and corn risotto, great. Wedge salad, really good but maybe too bleu for my taste. Chocolate and Coffee dessert, amazing. Service was relaxed, well informed, helpful, efficient, and kind. They elevated our meal.

I have frequented Knife Steakhouse in Plano on several occasions, and each visit has consistently left me impressed and satisfied. From the moment you step into the restaurant, the experience is always outstanding.One aspect that sets Knife Steakhouse apart from other establishments is their impeccable service, and my recent encounter with Noela, our server, only reinforced this notion. Noela was an absolute delight, displaying professionalism, attentiveness, and a genuine passion for her job. She guided us through the menu, provided insightful recommendations, and ensured that every detail of our dining experience was taken care of. Noela's warm personality and knowledge of the menu added a personal touch to the evening, making our visit all the more memorable.The ambiance of Knife Steakhouse contributes to the overall allure of the establishment. The interior exudes sophistication, with its modern decor and comfortable seating arrangements. The dim lighting creates an intimate atmosphere, perfect for a romantic dinner or a celebratory gathering.

DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY HERE. Had such high hopes for this place. My husband and I were ao excited to treat ourselves to a special anniversary dinner and we were so disappointed in the food. The restaurant, ambiance and host were very nice and professional.The bacon sampler appitizer with 5 strips of bacon and bacon jam was the best thing we had.? except the waiter touched a piece of our bacon with his bare hands while he was pointig and explaining the diffrent kinds of bacon. He clearly saw this and did nothing.. just carried on talking..and didnt offer to replace it. Was an accident im sure but still.. we cut off the end of bacon he touched and blew it off. The green goddess dip apitizer they give upon arrival is good too. That's where the good part ends.The $20 4oz glass of wine i got was not great, but not the worst I've ever had. The bread they give you was cold, bland and dry.Husband and I odered the $190 aged ribeye steak to share and it was unercoooked and needed salt badly. They had no salt on the table The meat was chewy and did not taste good at all. We couldnt eat more than a few bites and called it quits. And those few bites were a struggle to swallow . All I could think about is how much better my husband's steaks at home taste. The wild mushrooms were not good either.The chocolate coffee dessert was the most bland dessert I can ever remember having. It needed more sugar and flavor -overall not great. The parting muffin and mini cookie they give you to go was just as bland. I couldn't believe we spent $350 for the two of us aftet tip and it was the worst meal we ever had.Perhaps the burger and fries was the way to go here. Everything about the food experience was underwhelming and disappointing. At this price point I want to leave raving to friends and family how good our meal was. And here I am writing this review.Wish we could leave a better review but I just wanted to warn people not to get the aged ribeye at the very least. It looks great In pictures but the flavor isn't there. Perhaps there's better things on the menu, but we're not taking a chance on returning to try something else.Do yourself a favor and skip this place all together .

Great food the service was top notch. Portion size was a little small for the price but it was really good.Food: 4/5
