I went here for my Birthday on Saturday and was absolutely impressed by the restaurant.
In terms of appearance this place is grand and absolutely beautiful. High ceilings, rich woods, classy well-dressed staff.
We arrived a little late unfortunately but only had to wait for a few minutes - some of our party arrived earlier but they were told they only seat everyone once the entire party arrives. They were able to sit out on the patio area until the entire group showed up. It was a beautiful evening so no worries in that department.
We ordered the "Power Couple" for $99 you had your choice of the Del's salad (with amazing avocado dressing and thick sliced bacon), or a Caesar. I went with the Del's which was delicious and very big - definitely larger than your average side salad. The main entree was an 8oz filet mignon and a huge lump crab cake. The filet was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious, and the crab cake was rich and filled with tons of crab (the least amount of filler I've had in a cake). Next we had our choice of sides which were served family style (our whole table had some of each of the sides). I loved the chateau potatoes served with white pepper and whole sauteed mushrooms. Finally we ended the deal with a choice of amazing desserts. Luckily my group all likes to share and the portions are HUGE so I tried the cheesecake (wow), bread pudding, and chocolate mousse.
We went with their featured wine selection which was a Benziger Cabernet. I loved the wine and it went perfect with my steak!
For $50 per person you absolutely cannot beat this deal - the portions alone are worth coming as you easily can make two meals out of this.
I cannot say enough about the service- fantastic! Everyone was so attentive and went out of their way to make my day great. I swear I was wished a happy birthday by six different staff members! They serve at a slower relaxed pace which was perfect for our group as we are talkers. When they cleared the first round of plates I honestly heard "be our guest" playing in my head - five servers clearing plates at once is a sight to behold !
I will absolutely be back as this has been one of the nicest dining experiences I have ever had. Thank you Del Friscos !
