    John Tesar’s Knife recently launched a Sunday brunch. And yes, it’s a guy’s-guy brunch focusing on meat. Think short-rib Benedict, pork-belly hash and classic steak and eggs. Read more

    Home of famous chef John Tesar and located in The Highland hotel, here you'll enjoy classic steakhouse dishes and elegant surroundings. Save room for desserts! The sweets menu is wide and delicious.

    I. LOVE. THIS. PLACE! Took my girlfriend here for her birthday today and man! We tried the bacon tasting plate and loved it. I ordered the 45 bone in ribeye and it was amazing!

    The quality of the food here is amazing. Had a breakfast burger with an English muffin and fried egg. The salsa verde fries are crazy good and the best tomato soup I have ever had.

    You have not lived if you have not tried their Bacon tasting plate. Comes with 5 strips of most delicious bacon.

    Avocado fries?! Yes, please. Splurge and get an awesome cut of meat, after viewing the meat locker. Get the bacon tasting. This place represents Texas well - steak, steak, bacon and steak!

    The steaks are great, but the crispy pig's haunches served family-style w/homemade corn tortillas is an experience. Plus: Ham. Tasting. Board. Knife also has room service for the great Highland hotel.

    If you love charcuterie, get the plate here. The Tuna Tartare is another great way to start, and I like to go Old School on the menu with the Ribeye.

    Steak and fries is a classic combination, but you can shake that up and get at least one serving of vegetables with Tesar's creamy and crispy avocado fries.

    The skirt steak was some of the best I've tasted. Start with the crispy pork belly and do I need to suggest the bacon tasting?

    The wedge is a standout, and their steak is easily in the top five in Dallas.

    Not bad, but I wouldn't go back if I was paying (I don't think it was worth the money). The menu has some outrageously pricey items like the $1400 bottle of wine or $200 steak!

    The dry aged pork chop was disappointing! Way too much fat! The manager did discount the meal by 30%. Service was also sub par. I might come back but will definitely be ordering steak!
