Step Into Glamour at Evelyn’s Steakhouse

Evelyn is a brand-new steakhouse opening soon in the Dallas Design District. It’s not your average restaurant; it’s a 9,500-square-foot space with an old Hollywood vibe. The dining room is adorned with ruby-colored tufted seats and vintage chandeliers. In a private room, the walls are purple, setting the scene for cozy couples sipping martinis.

The concept comes from co-owner Rich Hicks, who runs this third restaurant in the area. His other spots include Pie Tap and The Mexican. Hicks wanted a restaurant with a name that stands out and a design that takes you back to the glamour of the past. The setting is inspired by styles from the 1960s to the 1980s.

The Vibrant Dallas Design District

The Dallas Design District is becoming a must-visit spot for food lovers. Nearby, you can find New York’s Carbone and the soon-to-open Delilah from Los Angeles. Local favorites like El Carlos Elegante and Town Hearth make the area diverse. Double D’s offers a sassy bar experience, adding to the local charm.

Hicks believes there’s room for Evelyn despite Dallas having many steakhouses. He wanted to bring something new, combining a strong name with unique old-school glamour. The vision was to create a place that feels both modern and nostalgic.

Indulge in Signature Cocktails

Evelyn’s doesn’t just offer steak; it’s also about the drinks. Customers can enjoy martinis in the piano room or Room Seven, a lively disco lounge. Hicks says martinis never go out of fashion. A standout option is the Dirty Duo, a cocktail for two.

If you’re feeling adventurous, try The Price of Fame, a $150 martini. This luxurious drink includes Nolet’s Reserve Gin, dry vermouth, black truffle bitters, and caviar-stuffed olives. Hicks was inspired by a $250 margarita from The Mexican, proving Dallas loves a splash of extravagance.

Private Dining with a Touch of Fame

Evelyn offers three private dining rooms for special gatherings. They are perfect for business dinners, birthdays, or big celebrations. One room even has a private entrance for celebrities who want to remain unnoticed. These spaces provide a unique and exclusive dining experience.

The privacy and luxury of these rooms make them ideal for anyone looking to enjoy a lavish meal away from the public eye. It’s a nod to the kind of nightlife the Design District is starting to embrace.

A Steakhouse with Diverse Delights

While Evelyn is a steakhouse, it offers much more than just steak. One of the highlights is the caviar service, adding a touch of class to your meal. Hicks also recommends the Maine lobster linguini served on a large plate. He describes it as a true showstopper.

An exciting appetizer is the Wagyu cheesesteak bites, a creative take on the classic Philly cheesesteak. These bites come with a provolone mornay sauce and black truffles. There’s also a unique twist called Tower Hour, featuring towers of cheesesteaks ideal for happy hour.

Nightlife with Elegance and Fun

Hicks noticed the Design District lacked nightlife options for adults. Evelyn’s bar aims to fill this gap as a ‘sexy’ yet safe spot for dining and dancing. After dinner, guests can linger at the bar or walk-ins can enjoy a drink and dance.

The venue’s design encourages guests to relax and enjoy the ambiance. The combination of good food, drinks, and a lively atmosphere makes Evelyn a destination for night-time fun.

Visit Evelyn for an Unforgettable Experience

Located at 1201 Turtle Creek Blvd., Evelyn is set to become a key destination in Dallas. It’s a place where old Hollywood charm meets modern flair. Reservations are recommended for dinner to ensure you get a spot.

For those interested in just the drinks and dance, Room Seven and the piano room are open without reservations. Evelyn opens its doors on March 26, 2025, promising an experience that blends glamour with superb dining.
