    Special occasion dinner and was a good decision as we could talk and the usual Dallas “Scene” wasn’t an issue. A sane experience from valet-on. The food was good, nothing extraordinary but decent sushi. I do feel the restaurant needs a slight remodel but it’s still sleek

    It was a very slow night but it appeared that the kitchen and waitstaff gave service like it was very busy. Nothing really wrong except things took longer than they should have. I don’t expect hovering but the waiter could have been present more than he was, and the kitchen took what felt like a long time for a mid-meal additional order. Place is beautiful and valet parking was easy. Food was very good if the sashimi was a bit pricey.

    Steel was the best it’s been in a year! New owner and the greatest food. Our waiter, Lewis, went beyond! He was very friendly, had the most extensive knowledge on wine, sake with great recommendations. Try Steel! It’s the best sushi and entrees in town!

    For starters, the sushi was decently fresh, and prepared well. The food we oreded however was pretty bad. We ordered the duck dish, inetable, and vegetable tempura, they did it with onion batter not panko, so it was also garbage can worthy. What really got me was the crappy service. I had to yell to get the waiter's attention in this empty restaurant, it was so strange. It gave me the impression that he wasn't a waiter, but he was doing us a favor bringing us our food. Also, I went for my birthday, mentioned it in the open table message + my fiance mentioned it when we sat down. There was 0 done for me. They suck!!!!

    I'm sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. And, thank you for your compliment on sushi. However, I understand your frustration with other dish that didn't meet your expectations. Additionally, poor service can significantly impact the overall dining experience, especially when it's on special occasion. This lack of attention to detail is certainly disappointing. Your feedback will help the restaurant address these issues to provide a better dining experience in the future.

    Food was good but the service was so bad we probably won’t go back for awhile. The worst part was the restaurant wasn’t that busy so the staff was just bad. And there was no manager to be found.

    Steel Restaurant & Lounge - DallasResponded on September 8, 2023

    I'm sorry to hear about the disappointing service you received during your visit. It's frustrating when a lack of attentive staff can overshadow an otherwise enjoyable meal. In quieter times, you would expect the service to be more attentive. An absent manager could have play a crucial role in resolving such issues. Your feedback is valuable, and I hope the restaurant takes steps to improve service quality so that you can have a more positive experience on any future visits.

    I had not been here in many years but it’s still top notch. Had some rolls and 3 dishes and all we just amazing. It was not crowded the night we went so nice to be able to hear each other and not have to yell like so many restaurants in Dallas. Pistachio salad was a top pick.

    Went here about 20 years ago and it was just as good. Not crowded but my friend from Dallas said that area has been hit hard cause no one is going back into the offices to work. Folks in the Dallas Metro area should make an effort to go and support this restaurant. The sushi and service is amazing.

    Dinner was great. Great options for sushi lovers and non-sushi lovers. So if you want sushi, but someone in your group is not a fan, there are plenty of entrees to chose from. Service was also great. They kept our water glasses full and made awesome recommendations for us. We'll go back for sure.

    I was disappointed by Steel. We reserved ahead as the reviews indicated to reserve early. The restaurant was hosting a birthday party which took about 6 tables or so (maybe about 1/4th of the restaurant). The service was good, but slow. Only 2 waiters that I could see for the entire restaurant. Our waitress was very nice, but not attentive enough (but I could tell bc she was very busy with that birthday party. The food was mediocre. We came from Plano and I was super excited as I love sushi/maki and was happy to try a new place during out "parents night out". The rolls were very very dense (rice was very packed), and difficult to eat, you almost had to swallow part of it without properly chewing and enjoying the roll, so you didn't get to fully experience the flavors. In addition, one had too much sesame oil, so you couldn't even taste the fish. We were still hungry after 2 rolls so we ordered some sushi. The sushis were very good, better than the rolls, but far behind some of the other Japanese restaurants in Plano. The atmosphere was nothing special, just like any other place. The cocktails were great though, really liked the Lychee martini. The physical location was also a bit strange, in the middle of a street with office buildings. No parking, but there is valet and some parking an the side streets if you are lucky to get a spot. Will not be returning, especially bc it's not convenient locationwise.

    Honestly this would have been a much better experience if they had used used a higher quality of wasabi. It may be a small detail but it’s something that stood out. Furthermore, while the food was good, it didn’t seem as fresh as what one would except.

    Like many others, I had forgotten about this Uptown gem. The food is very good, the portions are generous and the service is outstanding. The appetizers were surprisingly very good even though we opted for no sushi on this visit. Do not miss the tataki and the sea bass appetizer was the big hit. That was just the start. The Chilean sea bass and Korean short ribs were outstanding. Given the portion size, we even had some leftover for an appetizer the next night. We will be back soon and will be sure to bring even more friends.

    My our-of-town family was in town. Since, I live in Turtle Creek, we walked over to Steel. Wonderful service and food! We shared many options including Pad Thai, Nigiri, Sashimi, and Dragon rolls. The restaurant was full, however, the noise level was low. We could adequately visit with each other without straining to hear like many area restaurants in the habit of packing in customers without considering noise level.

    When we got there on cold Saturday night, no valet. This is a “has been” restaurant. The host greeting was terrible & he brought us to a table that was not even cleared. The men’s bathroom has peeling wallpaper. Would not be surprised if this long running tired restaurant closes soon. We walked out and was very disappointed. A sad sad…sad sushi place that lost its past glory. Steel is rusting, for sure.

    Steel Restaurant & Lounge - DallasResponded on February 25, 2023

    Thank you for taking time to give us review. Being busy on the night never excuse us from unacceptable service; you're brought to uncleared table. When I check our guest system the host seated you at 9:33 PM. Since we close our kitchen at 9:30 PM there could have been misunderstanding within our staffs. We will make sure this won't happen again. Also, we do have Valet service every day except Mondays. If you drive up to the restaurant front, there should be our valet by Legacy await you.

    My girlfriends and I celebrated Galentine's here, and my friends birthday. When we first arrived the table was nicely set up, there was only one more table with guest, and the greeter was very nice. As the rest of the party begin to arrive, the waiter became more and more frustrated for an unknown reason, we were all very patient and polite. We had a cake which we asked to be placed in the fridge while we ate, and at no point was a cake fee mentioned. The food and drinks took about an hour, we had to survive on 3 ramekins with fried potatoes (delish) for a table of 12, only a couple of us had water. We stated at the beginning that checks would be separate, except for mine which would be with the birthday girl sitting next to me. When we finally received our checks, again after waiting a long period of time, they were all mixed up, some people got double charged, etc. They also failed to mentioned that tip was included, I found out because I asked. Also, this is when they decided to let us know there was a $35 dollar fee for the cake, at this point we were so frustrated that I decided to just pay it and move on. My girlfriends and I are all moms who rarely get out, this was a special time for us, not to mention the birthday girl, unfortunately it was not a good location to celebrate.

    Thank you for taking time to send us a review. I see some of the issues could've been resolved on the spot if asked. eg. Cakeage fees became industry standard and we assumed our guests understood. But we would've taken it off if our guests do not want to pay. We can still refund it. Also, we are sorry that you were upset on auto gratuity being a group of 12. This practice is the same everywhere. If there is mistakes on charges we will always correct it. We hope to resolve it. Give us a call.
