As one of the world\u2019s wealthiest cities, Dallas knows how to show up and show out.<\/a> From the city\u2019s ongoing \u201cDubai-fication\u201d and champagne-taste culture<\/a>, there\u2019s no shortage of ways to flex your appetite or your wallet. Sure, it\u2019s not hard to find a pricey piece of meat or shellfish soaring above a Benjamin, but if you\u2019re looking to drop serious dough, the dining scene doesn\u2019t make it hard.<\/p>\n

From prime cuts to a menu with a Ducati, these are the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me, the most extravagant dishes in the D, the kind you order when you\u2019re trying to seal a deal, seduce a future ex-wife or flex simply because you can. So, while you\u2019re toasting to the high life with The Mexican\u2019s $250 Pancho Villa margarita<\/strong> (citrus gold salt included), save room for Nick & Sam\u2019s legendary 7-layer cake<\/strong> \u2014 a casual $35 a slice or up to $165 for the whole tower of temptation. Here\u2019s where to find high steaks and even higher tabs. <\/p>\n

\"Emperor'sEmperor\u2019s Platter at Nick and Sam\u2019s, aka The Stairway to Heaven. <\/p>\n

Kagoshima Bone-in Ribeye at Nick and Sam\u2019s: $1,600<\/p>\n

It\u2019s tough to choose the most indulgent plate at Nick and Sam\u2019s. The Emperor\u2019s Platter<\/strong> comes with eight cuts of wagyu tenderloin, including\u00a0Black Hawk Reserve, Australian, Japanese (Kumamoto), Miyazaki, Ohmi, Hokkaido, Hyogo (Kobe), and Sunuki Rib Eye, served on a tiered platter \u2014 the Stairway to Heaven \u2014 rings in at $850<\/strong>. But the Kagoshima is $16 per ounce and is widely considered the most luxuriously marbled steak on the menu. From Nick and Sam\u2019s, \u201cIf cooked medium, all the wagyu markings become a little melted. If guests want to snag one for the table, Nick & Sam\u2019s offers a cut that is over 100 ounces, making this menu item around $1,600.\u201d<\/p>\n

40-Ounce Porterhouse at Nuri Steakhouse: $350<\/strong><\/p>\n

Featured in The Wall Street Journal\u2019s \u201cSteakhouses Actually Worth the Splurge<\/a>,\u201d Nuri is anything but the stuffy white-tablecloth spot traditionally found on these lists. What they describe as an \u201cArt Deco\u2013steampunk fever dream covered in hand-painted wallpaper,\u201d the Korean steakhouse unapologetically leans into its $16 million-plus buildout with price tags to match. The crown jewel is the 40-ounce Texas Wagyu porterhouse, sourced from Heartbrand Reserve\u2019s \u201cEmperor\u2019s Breed,\u201d that\u2019s served with an entourage of banchan, ssamjang (Korean soybean paste), kimchi butter, miso peppercorn sauce, and a wagyu candle for flavor and flair. If that feels a touch too indulgent, there\u2019s always the 36-ounce tomahawk for $299 \u2013 the same drama, slightly less meat. <\/p>\n

Signature Steakhouse Smorgasbord, Perry\u2019s Steakhouse & Grille<\/strong><\/strong>: $275<\/strong> <\/p>\n

If your love language is red meat and regret, Perry\u2019s signature platter is basically a carnivore\u2019s delight. Designed to feed four, it piles on all the greatest hits: a 40-ounce porterhouse, pork chops, lamb lollipops, BBQ bacon-wrapped shrimp, mini crab cakes and seafood-stuffed mushrooms with a delicate touch of truffle Merlot demiglace and beurre fondue. Really, it\u2019s quite reasonable at $69 per person in boy-math world. <\/p>\n

Golden Osetra Caviar Service<\/strong>, Evelyn: $270<\/p>\n

A self-proclaimed love letter to Old Hollywood opulence, Evelyn imports its signature steak straight from Australia, because Texas cows aren\u2019t couture enough. The 38-ounce F-1 (it moves?) Wagyu Tomahawk ribeye is $225. Still not impressed? Top it with roasted bone marrow or lump crab Oscar for an extra $24. Or, for more drama, the 5-ounce Miyazaki A5 Wagyu is cooked tableside on a hot lava rock for $190. Pair either with a Price of Fame martini ($150 for one or $275 for two), complete with black truffle bitters and caviar-stuffed olives. The Golden Osetra caviar service for $260 takes the cake, though. It\u2019s served with 1 ounce of potato chips, warm blinis, creme fraiche, chives and cured egg yolk. We\u2019ll cheers to that. <\/p>\n

Iced Seafood Tower, Crown Block: $230<\/p>\n

That iconic view from the top of Reunion Tower comes with a price tag, but so does the seafood tower. A feast for six, it stacks Maine lobster, snow crab claws, jumbo prawns, salmon ceviche, and East and Gulf Coast oysters. There\u2019s also a smaller version for $110 if you\u2019re feeling modest. More ravenous? The menu also features a $240 48-ounce tomahawk and a $185 dry-aged porterhouse. Or if you prefer a morning splurge, the $80 all-you-can-eat Sunday brunch includes indulgences like Fried Chicken and Waffles with caviar, Wagyu Croquetta Benedict, and a lavish candy and dessert bar so over-the-top you\u2019ll need a nap before noon.<\/p>\n

32-Ounce 240-Day Ribeye, Knife Italian: $215<\/p>\n

Chef John Tesar, lauded for his dry-aged steak methods<\/a>, took his wares to the Ritz in Irving after years in Dallas. At his Italian-focused restaurant, you can still get the 44 Farms steaks he made Dallas-famous years ago. Some may find a steak aged more than half a year a bit much; there\u2019s a 45-day for $125. If we had an expense account or a sugar daddio, this is where we\u2019d go. Yes, we\u2019re accepting applications for both. <\/p>\n

24-Ounce Westholme Wagyu Porthouse, Catch: $205<\/p>\n

The cattle ranch Westholme in Australia allows herds to roam \u201cmillions of pristine acres covered in native grasses\u201d in Northern Australia. Get a tasty steak at Catch for just $205, which is a real steal considering that one ounce of the A5 Kobe beef costs $68. Olive beef (yes, the cattle are fed olives) is $55 per ounce and snow beef (no, the cows don\u2019t eat snow \u2014 the steaks are snow-aged) is $49 per ounce. But you\u2019re not really going to Catch unless you\u2019re going for Sunday brunch, which is $95 per person and a glass of Krug Grand Cuvee ($96). <\/p>\n

40-Ounce Wagyu Tomahawk Chop<\/strong>, The Saint: $195<\/p>\n

Another maximalist Italian steakhouse, The Saint\u2019s signature chop comes brushed with Calabrian chili compound butter and is big enough for two to four. But there is a way to get it for less. Their \u201cTexas Tomahawk Tuesday\u201d offers three courses for two at the same $195 price tag, with starters like Wagyu tartare or saffron risotto, sides such as wild mushrooms and Italian fries (tableside bone marrow is an $8 splurge), and seasonal desserts to seal the deal. Because who doesn\u2019t love a bargain disguised as decadence?<\/p>\n

Bistecca alla Fiorentina<\/strong>, Monarch: $190<\/p>\n

Ask a dozen people what the priciest restaurant in Dallas is, and more than a few will say Monarch. Perched on the 49th floor of The National, this temple of opulence delivers on every decadent promise. The butcher\u2019s reserve meats are the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me, and the Bistecca for two is undeniably the star of the show. Seasoned simply with salt, a sprig of rosemary, and the bone proudly on full display, we can confirm<\/a> it lives up to the hype. Other notable splurges include a 45-day dry-aged Omaha ribeye for $110, a 5-ounce Japanese A5 Filet Kagoshima for $180, and housemade pastas like the Fire Roasted Lasagna Diane for $60 (full portion) or a Whole Maine Lobster Spaghetti for $72.<\/p>\n

16-ounce Rosewood New York Strip or Ribeye<\/strong>, Georgie: $180<\/p>\n

Originally opened by Curtis Stone, Georgie has been described as both \u201cswanky retro meets chic\u201d and \u201ca contemporary Southern blend of Texas roots with West Coast finesse.\u201d To some, that may sound like an identity crisis, and to others, a celebrated rebirth. Since ditching the celebrity chef, Georgie has found its stride, earning a Michelin nod for creative takes on the classics (think creamy potato \u201cchurros\u201d with smoked fish dip) along with some seriously luxe steaks. Their signature cut, grilled and served with Padr\u00f3n peppers, G1 sauce, and Dijon, proves they\u2019ve still got plenty of star power.<\/p>\n

King Crab Legs, Dakota\u2019s: $175<\/p>\n

Dallas\u2019s famed underground steakhouse<\/a> wasn\u2019t always serving surf and turf \u2014 it was once a church that couldn\u2019t legally sell alcohol on holy ground. Yet a loophole allowed liquor sales below street level, so they excavated and never looked back (perhaps to keep prices buried, too?). While the menu leans meaty with a decadent $152 36-ounce tomahawk and a $164 porterhouse, the true splurge is a simple pound of king crab with drawn butter and lemon for nearly $200 \u2014 making the half Maine lobster for $43 feel like a downright steal. It\u2019s all about perspective, right? It is worth noting there is quite a lengthy dress code, and kids under five are politely uninvited for dinner.<\/p>\n

3.5 lb Maine Lobster \u00e0 l\u2019Orange<\/strong>, Town Hearth: $149<\/p>\n

Steak and swagger<\/a> define this Design District hot spot, where dry-aged, white oak\u2013seasoned, mesquite-charcoal-grilled prime cuts are legendary. Think: 42-ounce porterhouse \u201cBistecca\u201d for $176, 32-ounce ribeye \u201cRogge\u2019s Battle Axe\u201d for $149, and the Lenox, an open-fire-roasted prime rib carved to order for $106. But their seafood also deserves some of the spotlight. The priciest catch is a 3.5-pound Maine lobster fried with ponzu and blood orange, though for $10 less you can go the wood-roasted route with simply \u201clots of butter.\u201d And if you\u2019re really looking to drop some coin, they also playfully have a market price \u201974 Ducati Sport on the sides menu. Yolo?<\/p>\n

Whole Roast Peking Duck, Tango Room: $140<\/p>\n

The menu at Tango Room reads like a name-drop list of indulgence: caviar, lobster corndogs, foie gras, steak tartine, and honestly, you could close your eyes and land on a flex. Sure, there\u2019s the $180 New York strip and the $150 ribeye, but if you\u2019re tapped out on steak, the whole roast duck is another baller move. Served with garlic hoisin, bibb lettuce, miso mustard, fried rice, and crispy confit, bird\u2019s the word here.<\/p>\n

Dover Piccata, Carbone: $145<\/p>\n

One bite of Carbone\u2019s signature spicy rigatoni vodka and you\u2019ll see the hype is real. But the priciest dishes aren\u2019t the famous family-style pastas or even the market price charcoal-grilled steaks. It\u2019s the seafood that might give you sticker shock. The top-dollar contender is the Dover Piccata, deboned and finished tableside in a brown butter lemon caper sauce, followed closely by the whole branzino for $135. Because nothing says luxury like fish that costs more than a monthly car payment.<\/p>\n

Veal Cordon Bleu, Mamani: $135<\/p>\n

One of the hottest new tables in town, Mamani is already flexing with its showstoppers on the share menu. The veal \u201cCordon Bleu\u201d comes dressed in sauce Mornay with greens and pommes pur\u00e9e rich enough to make your cardiologist twitch. Other indulgences include a whole duck \u201cthe Mamani way\u201d for $169, Wild Dover Sole with spinach, lemon, and brown butter for $135, and a 22-ounce dry-aged ribeye topped with foie gras and truffle for $149. Because moderation clearly didn\u2019t make the cut.<\/p>\n

Lobster Shiitake Salad with Spicy Lemon Dressing, Nobu: $69<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever thought about dropping nearly $70 for a salad? Yeah, us either, even if it is topped with lobster. A cooked alternative for those who side-eye sashimi, it\u2019s layered with mushrooms, fried garlic, sesame, and greens. Feeling inspired? Epicurious<\/a> actually published the exact recipe from the Nobu cookbook if you want to try to recreate the delicacy home. But if you\u2019re ready to splurge, there\u2019s also a King Crab Leg with panko crust and truffle sauce for $125, and a $75-per-person Sunday brunch that\u2019s supposedly worth rolling out of bed for. Because if anyone can make lettuce luxury, it\u2019s Nobu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As one of the world\u2019s wealthiest cities, Dallas knows how to show up and show out.
