Evelyn Steakhouse officially opened on March 26, 2025, bringing a bold, Old Hollywood-inspired dining concept to 1201 Turtle Creek Blvd in Dallas’ Design District. The 9,500-square-foot venue had been anticipated for months, and since its debut, it’s made a striking impression with its glamorous interiors and nightlife-driven vibe. But do early reviews match the restaurant’s upscale image?
A Look at the Menu and Experience
The space is split into four themed sections: the Piano Room (main dining), Room Seven (a lounge with disco and rock vibes), the Ruby Room (a stylish bar), and the Champagne Room for private events. Designed by ICRAVE, each area brings a distinct mood, with patrons consistently praising the décor across review sites like Yelp.
Food offerings are high-end but come with a price. Favorites so far include Wagyu Cheesesteak Bites, Gulf Crab & Avocado Stack, and Chilean Sea Bass. The infamous $150 martini—topped with caviar-stuffed olives—has stirred debate online, with some praising its flair and others questioning its value (Dallas Morning News).
Reviews So Far and What’s Next
Evelyn’s atmosphere has received widespread acclaim, but service reviews are mixed. Several diners on Yelp compliment the staff’s friendliness and the immersive experience. Others, however, mention delays at check-in, valet issues, and slower-than-expected service during peak hours. These issues suggest some growing pains for the new restaurant despite its strong concept and visual appeal.
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday with dinner service starting at 4:30 PM. Reservations are highly recommended, especially for seated dining, while the bar and lounge areas allow walk-ins. Interested patrons can book directly via OpenTable or on evelyn-dallas.com.
