| - When the bill is $320 for 4 people (2 split an entree), the food better be good. Del Frisco is all image and no chef. It's a charade and the only reason this place is still open is millions of people visit Vegas everyday and if they can 20 covers that visit for the first time, they can continue to put out a bad product.
The night started off well because everyone is friendly and they do have top notch service in the front. In the back is where this place is suffering. Whoever is the quality control person for the food going out needs to read this. I would be okay if we only had one bad plate, but 7 out of the 10 plates we had were very bad and shouldn't have been served. We're celebrating two birthdays and it's difficult to be that person to make a fuss and spoil the evening. We just rolled with it and figured our only way to make things right is to Yelp about it and prevent others from making our mistake.
When we were seated, a guy greets us and gives us the rundown of the menu specials. He really pushed specific items on the menu which we didn't order. Had we known in advance that our Ribeye was going to be 60% gristle, we would have understood this greeting speech to really mean everything on the menu sucks except the stuff I'm telling you about.
Plate #1: The bread is very good. It's a full loaf that's not sliced and the way to eat it is to pull it apart with your hands. It's good, but we didn't want to fill up on bread.
Plate #2: Crabcake was lump crab that had no binder, so you really can't call it a cake. Lump crab with a sauce. It was good, but a crab cake is something you think is grilled and has a crispy edge to it. So, for a crab cake, it's a zero. For lump crab, it's a 5.
Plate #3: Shrimp cocktail. It's about 15 jumbo shrimp with 3 different sauces. All of the sauces could have been out of a jar and the shrimp was overcooked tough. Another zero stars.
Plate #4: Caeser Salad: This was good. The croutons were homemade buttery and crunchy good. But.... it's a salad that isn't that hard to make.
Plate #5: Asparagus. Somebody needs to tell the chef they need to break off the woody part of the stalk. The tops were cooked prefectly, but you end up leaving the woody part on the plate.
Plate #6: Au Gratin. Diced potato with some cheese. It was meh.
Plate #7: Osso Buco. The pasta was cooked perfect, but the star of the show was dry. It had a nice tomato based spicey sauce, but the meat just wasn't moist. It was falling off the bone tender, but leaves a dry taste in the mouth. The marrow was the only really good part of the shank.
Plate #8: Tuna. This was the WTF item on the table. It had zero presentation. It's was just a thin slice of Ahi Tuna that was breaded with sesame seeds and flashed grilled. The tuna was bland and didn't have that sushi quality flavor and texture. If I had to guess, I would say this fish was frozen at some point instead of being fresh. Just a dissapointment.
Plate #9: Ribeye. As mentioned, 60% of this steak was tough and gristly. My mom and sister split this item and the staff cut it in half for us. Sister ended up with 50% of the gristle meaning she had no real steak to eat. Mom ended up with the eye which was tender.
Plate #10: Banana Bread Pudding: This was good. Crispy exterior with a nice scoop of vanilla on top.
