| - Had reservations and was sat on time. I have been a big fan of Del Friscos other locations in NYC and Orlando. I am local and have eaten here before, probably 2 1/2 years ago. This particular visit was less than stellar. The fried oyster appitizer was very small. In Orlando and NYC which I ate at a couple years ago, the oysters were in abundance and falling off the plate. I don't know if slow times have caused them to cut back at this location? Calamari appetizer was ok, nothing to write home about. Now on to the main course. The prime ribeye we both ordered was for Medium. It came out still very red in the middle, was medium rare. We sent it baxck to be cooked up a little bit. Then when they brought it back out, it ended up being Medium well. We were hungry and didn't say anything. Steak was still good, just not the temperature we wanted. For a class of steakhouse like Del Frisco's, typically a manager would have come out and stop by the table when food is sent back. Even at Outback Steakhouse a manager will come by the table when food is sent back to the kitchen. No manager ever came by. Obviously bad service there, perhaps we woudl have mentioned that the steak was now overcooked. It was very visibly light pink to brown center. The creme spinach side used to be piled high, once again, don;t know if the economy is hurting this locatation but the serving portion that typically serves 2 comfortably, left us unsatisfied. And at $12.50 for spinach, this was actually insulting.
End result, we will probably not come back here agian next time we want steak. The service and quality fo food has gone down. Could it have been just a bad experience on this particular visit? Sure, but too many thinsg were different from our last visit to make us want to come back again. And in Vegas folks, there is no lack of excellent steakhouses. I however will go back to the one in NYC and Orlando, just never again in Vegas. our server was good at least. Mastros Ocean Club in the Cystals shopping center is much better. Been there twice and both consistant good service and food quality and portions for the money. I would refer them 1st over Del Frisco's.
