| - Start to finish Del Frisco was just ok.
Parking was a bit of a conundrum, maybe better investigation was needed before we left the house, but mid day Sunday we were confused and left the car behind in the lot without confidence.
We were meeting a group for brunch and not only did we arrive before anyone in our group but we were the first to arrive at the restaurant that day. The front doors were open but the hostess was real quick to say "we are not open yet" I felt shoed away and we sat outside for the next 10 minutes.
Reservations were made well in advance and we were the first table sat that day, yet the two tables pushed together for our group were miss matched, as if an after thought.
It was brunch in a beautiful space yet the restaurant experience was just boring. Take your order... bring your drinks.... drop your food... get your check, all executed "ok" except the last. When ok ends in failure its a big scuff on a restaurant that I imagine has higher standards. To sum up service it ranged from boring to bad. By the way it took more then 20 minutes to prepare checks. The server was visible and visibly so confused that it was painful to watch. Finally one person in our party just gave her a card and paid for everyone, thus eliminating everyone's discomfort.
As far as the food my dish was tasty I had one of the benedict's, and I enjoyed every last bite, however that was the only thing I tasted at brunch. I feel there should have been more like some bread, a pastry, fruit, or an amuse. Nope just like Denny's nothing special, no surprises.
Someone asked me to recommend a spot for brunch yesterday and I didn't recommend Del Frisco fresh off a meal a week ago, I think that says a lot about my experience.
Del Frisco's needs to stop taking orders and serving food and make dining in their beautiful place an event, Identify service missteps and fix them, and start brunch with a little something special from the kitchen.
