It will be interesting to see if Ounce can make it. After their glowing review in DMN, the place has been pretty packed. Overall a pretty good wine selection, and prices on the wine and other adult beverages are typical of the Dallas steak house scene.

They have a back room for meetings or large parties, which is closed off by glass windows. This also appears to double as their cigar room, but I have yet to enjoy in this portion of the restaurant.

We started off with the tempura Maui onion rings, and they were pretty tasty, served with a roasted red pepper horseradish aioli, priced at $7. I stuck with the 8 oz prime filet and it was tasty, about what you’d expect from a good steak house in the area. They also have a Akaushi beef NY Strip for $100, which would be interesting to taste to see if it lives up to its price tag. The blueberry Malbec sauce tastes just about what it sounds like. It was a nice touch, but I don’t think I’d want it to accompany an entire steak. If ordered again, I’d probably stay with the black peppercorn or demi-glace sauce. The parmesan crusted and truffle dusted fries sounded decadent, but for the $7 price tag, I think they were overrated. From what I’ve found, mixing the truffle oil with French fries can either make fries be awesome or just seem to fall kind of flat. I’m sure they can taste delectable, but it should be consistent in order to garner widespread attention. The Yukon gold whipped potatoes were overall pretty tasty. I’d also recommend the applewood smoked bacon Mac n cheese as one of the sides. Mac n cheese seems to be one of the hot new things to be serving in a lot of places, and I think it’s safe to say they do it right.

Overall I think the food and service was great, albeit the venture as a whole can be a bit pricy. I look forward to returning and trying out different items!
