Juliet, the movie-theater-inspired steakhouse known in Houston for gold-wrapped tomahawks and surprise celebrity cameos, is packing up its red carpet and heading for the Dallas Design District this summer. The new outpost is pitched as a high-glamour, cinematic dining room with private spaces and event-ready rooms, slated to debut in August 2026 next door to Design District supper club Delilah.
According to CultureMap Dallas, Juliet will take over a space at 1400 Hi Line Drive, right beside Delilah, with an eye on an August 2026 opening. A press release states that executive chef Jeff Auld will lead the Dallas kitchen, and the interior is set to feature a glass room, a signature flower wall, and multiple private dining and event spaces. The release promises an elevated experience unlike anything currently in the DFW dining landscape.
Juliet’s original Houston location opened in 2022 and quickly turned into a celebrity magnet, pulling in names like Drake, Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion. Drake even picked up the tab for diners on Valentine’s Day 2025. The Houston Chronicle has detailed the restaurant’s steady stream of boldfaced names and its late-night energy, a level of star power that has become central to Juliet’s brand as it looks beyond Houston.
The menu leans into luxury: premium steaks, fresh seafood and, of course, that headline-grabbing gold-wrapped tomahawk that helped define its spectacle-driven style. In his first look for CultureMap Houston, Eric Sandler called out Juliet’s cinematic lobby and flashes of gold, while the restaurant’s own site lays out Houston’s menus and hours. CultureMap’s early coverage also pointed to oversized tomahawks and showpiece cocktails, features Juliet says it plans to bring along for the Dallas sequel.
Why the Design District
The Design District has been steadily morphing from a cluster of industrial blocks into one of Dallas’ busiest nightlife and dining corridors, with showrooms and restaurants now sharing space with galleries. Local coverage has noted that the neighborhood’s mix of art spaces and buzzy dining rooms makes it a natural landing spot for concepts built on theater and spectacle. Planting Juliet right next to Delilah signals yet another play for late-night, celebrity-friendly destinations in the area, a shift D Magazine has been tracking as the district evolves.
What to Expect
The Dallas location is set to pour craft cocktails tailored specifically to the local market, along with an extensive wine list and an upscale dress code for dinner service, according to the release cited in local coverage. The company frames Juliet as a full-on cinematic destination, with private rooms and showstopping menu items tailored to birthdays, date nights and other big-deal evenings. Reservations and specific opening details for Dallas have not yet gone live, as noted by CultureMap Dallas.
Practical Details
Juliet’s Houston website serves as the main hub for information, listing the original location’s address, menus and contact details. That restaurant sits at 5857 Westheimer Road in Houston. The Dallas outpost is expected to follow a similar playbook, with high-touch service, bottle-service options and private events for larger groups. All signs point to another celebrity-friendly steakhouse on the way, one that will likely tighten weekend reservations in the Design District and add yet another late-night option for special-occasion dining as per Juliet.
