Editorial Review for Ounce Prime Steakhouse – by Sabra Girard
The Scene
An exterior mosaic waterfall reveals a hint of mosaic tile columns, ostentatious flowers and bold art of the grand interior. The crescent shaped bar just past the hostess stand is a pivot point for four dining areas; a red fireplace room with modern canvas art, a private sound proof dining room graced with a magnificent marble table, a cigar room with dining, TVs and a view of the wine cellar and a main dining area with diffused lighting and modern accents.
The Food
Intense marbling throughout beef three grades above prime and the highest amount of mono-saturated fat in U.S. beef, results in the buttery and tender experience of Akaushi beef. In addition to offering the only Akaushi beef in Dallas, prime chateaubriand and prime filets have perfect texture and taste. Black truffle gnocchi is a hearty, rich potato side and the key lime cheesecake is touted as a favorite ending.
Hits: Beef entrees, served with finesse and immense flavor, present strong competition for the Dallas steak scene.
Misses: Preferred steak preparation and dessert consistency were overlooked as well as some servers lacked select fine dining practices.

I read so many mixed reviews about Ounce, that I held off going for quite some time. I have been craving Beef Wellington, and Ounce is the only place that serves it in Dallas, according to my internet search. Most of the negative reviews have been about the service, and the hiccups that most new restaurants go through. I can overlook bad service if my Beef Wellington is great. The service and the Wellington is great at Ounce. The Wellington was served as requested, medium rare. A previous reviewer had a problem with it being over cooked, but mine was perfect. Inside the pastry dough is a thin layer of mushroom duxelles and foie gras. On the plate is a drizzle of sauce that accompanied the Wellington very well. Wine reduction maybe? My Wellington scratch has been itched. Next time I will try the Steak Dianne which is another of my favorites. Chateaubriand is also on the menu. I love the classics. On to the rest of the meal. Looking over the wine list, I noticed "Sips" in the $5 -7 range. Half the price of the wines by the glass. And sure enough they were all half glasses, much more than a sip. I told waiter I would like to play with the sips, and asked if he would be willing to be in charge of the pairings. No problem. Let’s do a fish appetizer so we can have a white. I'm having beef, and I let him know I like Bordeaux and Cabs. My girlfriend is having blackened salmon, so a white that will stand up to the spice will be needed. Every paring was a home run. He served me a cabernet malbec blend that went perfect with my steak. We had the scallop appetizer with a white and my girlfriend had another white with her blackened salmon. The seasoning on the salmon was too much, until I tried it with the cabbage that sat atop it when served. Then it all came together. The strong spice needed the crunchy purple cabbage to balance out the flavor. Much better. The only negative was a bit of sand in the fennel served with the scallops.
Pros: American classics served. Wine by the half glass.
Cons: Closed Sundays and they no longer serve Prime Rib.

I'll never go back to Ounce again. It was such a terrible experience. I went with some of my friends to celebrate my wife's birthday. As I was walking in SURPRISE! I saw the Pizza guy in front of Ounce!!! They forget about me and friends at the bar. When I asked to be seated they didn't have my table ready. They pour the wine no once but twice! in the lady besides our table. Food You can find in any other steak house. Staff looked so fake. They looked if they didn't enjoy working there. Servers were the only ones that gave US a good service.There's so many choices of good steakhouses at Addison why go to Ounce!!!
Pros: Servers, Desing of the place
Cons: Food, Parking, managers
