| - We went here last night for Charlotte Restaurant Week and it did not disappoint! I love how this restaurant looks with its high ceilings and warm woods and lighting, and the metal detailing on staircases and railings were pretty cool. Everything feels very new, rich and comfortable. The food was very good, although it wasn't even a consideration that it would be anything but delectable given this restaurants reputation. I had the mixed field greens salad, filet, chateau potatoes and chocolate mousse. Everything was well prepared and delicious.
I don't know if this is new, or something they always have since this was my first time at this restaurant, but they offer the Del Frisco's Power Couple meal (http://www.delfriscos.com/whats_happening.php) that you can order even when it ISN'T restaurant week. The menu is nearly identical to the restaurant week offering, but is a little pricier at $99 a couple instead of the $60 restaurant week price. Still though, given the atmosphere, service and quality of the food I would consider that a pretty great value.
This IS the type of place where they come by with the table sweepers to remove the crumbs every time they lift a plate, but not at any time did I feel like it was overly snobby or pretentious. If you crack a joke with the guy filling your water, he will most likely laugh instead of shooting an appalled look down his nose at you. Also, it's "dressy jeans" friendly during the week, which is nice, although the majority of the patrons were dressed in their "customer entertaining suits" or their "I came straight from work" khakis and button downs.
I think we'll definitely make this a must visit at least twice a year during restaurant week. It's too good a deal at that time to pass up. Book early though, because those reservations go fast!
*Favorite thing: that hunk of meat can't be beat.
