Replacing it at the bustling intersection of McKinney Avenue and N. Pearl Street will be a new restaurant called Andreas Prime Steaks and Seafood, expected to open in November 2025. Andreas is named for its chef-owner Andreas Kotsifos, who spent more than 40 years working all over the world, including in Paris, Rome, New York, and Palm Beach Island, Fla.<\/p>\n<h2>About Chef Andreas Kotsifos<\/h2>\n<p>The Greek-born chef previously worked at The Palm, once an iconic power lunch spot in Dallas\u2019 West End. Today, the chef operates a restaurant in Allen under the Andreas name, plus a diner and a bistro in Corsicana. He plans to open another Andreas steakhouse in Waxahachie in 2026. His coming-soon Dallas restaurant will open in a competitive steakhouse neighborhood, where Nick &amp; Sam\u2019s, Nuri Steakhouse, Del Frisco\u2019s Double Eagle Steakhouse, Fearing\u2019s, Perry\u2019s, STK, and more are less than a mile away.<\/p>\n<h2>Expansion Plans<\/h2>\n<p>Kotsifos doesn\u2019t know how many more Andreas restaurants he may open, but he does plan to keep expanding. \u201cAs long as I\u2019m healthy, I will never stop,\u201d he said. Andreas Prime Steaks in Uptown Dallas will be \u201ca little more upscale\u201d than the restaurant in Allen, its namesake told The News.<\/p>\n<h2>Menu and Prices<\/h2>\n<p>Steaks at Andreas Prime Steaks and Seafood include options for a file mignon (pictured), plus rib-eyes, New York strips, A5 Wagyu, and more. Kotsifos plans to add more Wagyu steaks and appetizers to the menu. Prices might average $150 per person, he said. Entrees will range from chicken Parmesan for $34 or so, to a filet mignon for double that.<\/p>\n<h2>Appetizers and Desserts<\/h2>\n<p>Appetizers will include lamb meatballs with sofrito sauce, a crab and avocado and crab, foie gras, oysters, and caviar. Best-selling entrees from the original restaurant will be on the Dallas menu, like beef Wellington, Chilean sea bass, and steak Diane, Kotsifos said. Bananas foster is popular for dessert, the chef said. The lobster bisque might remind diners of a reinvented version of the soup recipe Kotsifos served at The Palm.<\/p>\n<h2>Restaurant Design<\/h2>\n<p>While the restaurant on McKinney Avenue is transitioning from one steakhouse to another, Kotsifos said plenty of design work was needed to freshen the space. \u201cYou will not recognize the place,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4096 \/ 3001\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1300px) 830px, (min-width: 768px) 66.66vw, 60vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/UX4QTJ4LDFDEFOMX4IN4FLAO5U.jpg?auth=ebc2512beccf1a021395928848c83c3cadf6ae480b432b39047bec71acd8d0ce&#038;quality=80&#038;width=250 250w, https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/UX4QTJ4LDFDEFOMX4IN4FLAO5U.jpg?auth=ebc2512beccf1a021395928848c83c3cadf6ae480b432b39047bec71acd8d0ce&#038;quality=80&#038;width=430 430w, https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/UX4QTJ4LDFDEFOMX4IN4FLAO5U.jpg?auth=ebc2512beccf1a021395928848c83c3cadf6ae480b432b39047bec71acd8d0ce&#038;quality=80&#038;width=830 830w\" class=\"dmnc_images-modern-image-module__QFaG- max-w-full h-auto text-white dmnc_images-modern-image-module__9Zlll bg-gray-light object-contain\" width=\"4096\" height=\"3001\" src=\"https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/UX4QTJ4LDFDEFOMX4IN4FLAO5U.jpg?auth=ebc2512beccf1a021395928848c83c3cadf6ae480b432b39047bec71acd8d0ce&#038;quality=80&#038;width=830\" alt=\"Executive chef and owner Andreas Kotsifos poses for a photograph at Andreas Prime Steaks and...\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Executive chef and owner Andreas Kotsifos poses for a photograph at Andreas Prime Steaks and Seafood in Allen in 2023.
