That restaurant quickly emerged as one of New York City&#8217;s buzziest openings, earning praise from outlets including Eater, Forbes, and the New York Post, and drawing celebrity diners who gushed as lovingly as the critics did.<\/p>\n<p>The Dallas version is described in a release as &#8220;a modern steakhouse menu featuring prime cuts, impeccably sourced seafood, Italian-inspired dishes, refined sushi offerings, and elevated tableside experiences.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Palladino has assembled a veteran team that includes executive chef Sam Hazen &#8211; whose r\u00e9sum\u00e9 includes stints at Michelin three-star Le Gavroche, Tavern on the Green, and Tao &#8211; along with chef de cuisine Henry Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>Palladino said the cuisine reflects both his New York roots and Hazen&#8217;s experience working in fine dining and Asian concepts.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights of their menu include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ee-ul\">\n<li>Slow-Roasted Herb-Crusted Prime Rib served tableside from the restaurant&#8217;s &#8220;Trolley Treat&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Bread Stick Veal Milanese<\/li>\n<li>Miso-Glazed Chilean Bass<\/li>\n<li>Maine Lobster Scampi<\/li>\n<li>Sushi selections<\/li>\n<li>Taste of Japan A5 Wagyu offerings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Dallas location was designed by Rockwell Group, the internationally known design firm that also created the New York restaurant. &#8220;The Dallas location reinterprets Palladino\u2019s signature sense of glamour through a distinctly Texas lens, blending the sophistication and energy of the brand\u2019s New York roots with the warmth and character of Palladino\u2019s longstanding Dallas legacy,&#8221; says the release.<\/p>\n<p>Palladino&#8217;s also includes two private event venues: The Aria, a live-music-focused events space (complete with grand piano and stage) named for Palladino&#8217;s daughter; and The National, an intimate private dining room named for Dallas National Golf Club, where Palladino is a member.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Featuring photography from the club, The National celebrates Dallas\u2019s deep ties to the sport while reflecting the restaurant\u2019s broader themes of legacy, community, and elevated gathering,&#8221; says the release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image\">        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"bfd0a\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"9141c38bdb16f81c4a279744370974ca\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" class=\"rm-shortcode rm-lazyloadable-image \" lazy-loadable=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" data-runner-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/palladino-s.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" alt=\" Palladino's\"\/>                        The snazzy bar area.Photo courtesy of Palladino&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>Palladino first landed on the Dallas restaurant scene in 1998 to partner up with the equally larger-than-life restaurateur Phil Romano, and went on to have a hand in the creation of Nick &amp; Sam\u2019s, the swanky steakhouse on Maple Avenue (now <a href=\"https:\/\/dallas.culturemap.com\/news\/restaurants-bars\/01-20-22-nick-sams-phil-romano-steak\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">run<\/a> by Sam Romano, Phil Romano&#8217;s son), Nick &amp; Sam&#8217;s Grill, Dos Jefes, and Coal Vines, his homage to the casual neighborhood restaurants reminiscent of his upbringing in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Palladino was approached by Preston Royal&#8217;s landlords to open a restaurant at the center. Given his local following and celebrity draw, as well as the large local appetite for steakhouses, Dallas made sense as a second location, particularly at the highly desirable intersection of Preston and Royal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDallas has played such an important role in my story as an entrepreneur,&#8221; Palladino says in the release. \u201cAfter opening the first Palladino\u2019s Steak &amp; Seafood in New York, it felt only right to bring it here next. This city understands hospitality at the highest level, and we\u2019re excited to introduce a menu, ambiance and experience that reflects that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Palladino&#8217;s bar opens daily at 4:30 pm, with dinner service beginning at 5 pm. Hours are 5-10 pm Sunday-Thursday and 5-11 pm Friday-Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Teresa Gubbins contributed to this story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of Dallas&#8217; most anticipated restaurant openings of 2026 has happened: Palladino&#8217;s Steak &amp; Seafood, the steakhouse that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":871796,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,185,1596,405,10084,117949,354644,57138,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-871795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-america","tag-celebrities","tag-dallas","tag-new-york","tag-openings","tag-preston-hollow","tag-preston-road","tag-steakhouse","tag-texas","tag-tx","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=871795"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871795\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/871796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=871795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=871795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=871795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
