This year, there was no shortage of beautiful restaurants to feast our eyes on. From Los Angeles to New York, with stops in Austin, Washington, D.C., and more cities along the way, we went on a visual roadtrip, satisfying our vision when we couldn’t satisfy our sense of taste. For us, these are the most stunning restaurants that opened in the United States in 2024.
Knife Italian Steak, Las Colinas
Knife Italian Steak doesn’t look like your typical steakhouse. Rather, Thomas Schoos of Schoos Design has created a colorful take on the American classic. When you enter the restaurant, you’re greeted by a magenta sofa and palm trees. The Pink Champagne Bar, as its name suggests, includes even more of that hue while the main dining room features a black-and-white striped table, caramel banquettes, and papier mache lanterns. A second dining room with an exposed kitchen once again draws in pink tiles, along with ribbon-like wood paneling. Think of a Fellini movie but in bright color, as Schoos himself puts it.
