Dallas
JW Steakhouse has officially opened on the 11th floor of JW Marriott Dallas Arts District, located at 800 N. Harwood St., directly across from the Dallas Museum of Art. The new restaurant introduces a steakhouse concept that emphasizes Texas-style dry-aged steaks, sustainable kitchen practices and menu items influenced by the city’s diverse culinary traditions.
Key details
The restaurant blends bold and refined flavors, inspired particularly by Dallas’s Hispanic and East Asian culinary influences. The menu focuses on Texas-style dry-aged steaks, paired with a commitment to sustainability and garden-to-table ingredients. Executive Chef Miguel Antonio has developed a menu intended to elevate the steakhouse experience through technique, seasoning and locally influenced pairings.
Signature dishes include a 32-ounce porterhouse, 16-ounce ribeye, and bone-in short rib, all seasoned with a special spice blend and finished with rooftop herbs. Steaks are prepared at high heat to create a distinct crust and flavor profile: Steaks are cooked at an intense temperature of 1,200 degrees in a Montague broiler for a deep, flavorful crust.
Service, seating and setting
The 137-seat dining room features brass-and-marble finishes, creating an elegant yet inviting atmosphere enhanced by skyline views from a glass-rack installation above the bar. The space is designed to support multiple service styles, with all-day dining that includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, and a timed Overture Menu for pre-performance diners.
Menu variety and sustainability
The menu extends beyond steaks to include contemporary and culturally inspired plates. The menu also includes innovative dishes like duck with cherry mole, miso-marinated sea bass over soba noodle salad, and barbecue-inspired mushroom meatloaf as a vegetarian option. Kitchen operations incorporate waste-reduction measures: Sustainability practices include turning trimmed fat into tallow and using carrot peels for seasoning, contributing to a composting program that diverted over 7,000 pounds of waste from landfills in 2024.
