DALLAS (KDAF) — Knife Steakhouse Dallas is planning to undergo a transformation in 2025, reopening in January as Knife Steak & Seafood.
With this transformation, Chef John Tesar aims to create a more approachable version of Knife & Spoon, his restaurant located at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, which earned a Michelin star in 2022 and 2023.
“After ten incredible years as Knife Steakhouse, it’s time for a new adventure,” Tesar said. “We’re taking what we’ve learned over the past decade, combined with the successes from Knife & Spoon in Orlando, to create an updated offering that gives Dallas the Michelin-star experience it deserves, especially with the Guide now entering our city.”
This reconceptualization coincides with a $13 million renovation of The Highland Dallas, under new management beginning in November 2024. The transformation will include a complete overhaul of guest rooms, bathrooms, a full renovation of the lobby, and a multi-phase upgrade to the restaurant. The first phase of the restaurant’s upgrade will introduce a cocktail lounge extending from the bar into the lobby, with the official transition to Knife Steak & Seafood set for early 2025.
