| - I've had my fair share of steakhouses in Vegas and Del Frisco's rises to the top of the list. I like that it's not part of a casino that houses a steakhouse with marked up prices just to bring in the cash. That isn't to say that the prices are cheap, because they aren't, but Del Frisco's knows how to cook a steak. I came with my group of friends who were visiting for my friend's 30th birthday. The majority of us ended up ordering the $55 Sunday Prime Pair, which was a surf & turf of sorts, pairing an 8 oz. filet with a seafood option.
I started with the Del's salad, which had two big crispy strips of bacon to go along with salad topped with an avocado Caesar dressing. Next, I opted for the filet paired with the lemon-garlic scallops and fried capers. This piece of filet was one of the best, if not, the best cooked piece of steak I've ever had. When you say medium-rare, they actually cook it perfectly through and through. It was red and hot in the center and tender beyond belief. I enjoyed the scallops and the signature crab cake I tried was good too. But the focus was all on the filet. For sides, we shared the spinach supreme, chateau potatoes, baked potato, and maque choux corn. The portions were big enough for everyone to share each other's sides. My favorite was split between the spinach and the corn. Unless, you count the lobster mac 'n cheese as a side, which we also ordered. One order was more than enough to share between 7 people, but we went ahead and got a second for good measure. They don't skimp out on the lobster either. By some mix-up, we also ended up with truffle butter for our steaks. Yes, it was that extravagant.
The meal ended with a delicious pecan cheesecake topped with caramel. Many steakhouses have the same menu with similar salads, sides, and seafood. But, Del Frisco's just does it a little bit better. It's easy to drop more than a bill here, but remember what to order: the filet, lobster mac 'n cheese, maybe the spinach supreme. You will be set.
