| - I chose Del Friscos over beef wellingtons at Gordon Ramsays because of the strong recommendations my two gfs had made about the steaks here.
Not as snobby fancy as let's say, Mastros or CUT, much more casual and old school in ambiance and decor. Which I prefer as higher end restaurants make me feel too stuffy.
We ordered 2 glasses of Malbec which Pinky loved, he ended up drink 2 3/4 glasses.. the 3/4 glass was mine that I didn't want to finish.
The complimentary bread they gave us smelled so yummy and was so soft, but I wish there was more of a distinct flavor to it.
Ordered a dozen of their oysters (half east coast, half west... I only remember one of the names, Stellar Bay). The oysters were tasty, but I had to tweak their mignonette a little to my liking by adding some salt and pepper. The real downside of the oysters though was how sloppily they were shucked! There was shell in every single oyster! We were literally spitting out pieces of shell for every oyster we ate which has never been the case for anywhere we've eaten oysters till now.
Asparagus cooked with almonds, salt, pepper, and butter. There was no butter on asparagus, but that worked out for us as we preferred it without any butter however I think some people might not appreciate that. I wish there was a little spritz of lemon in this side to bring out the fresh flavors more.
Lobster mac and cheese was my pick. Lobster in mac and cheese, exactly how it would taste if you took a piece of lobster and ate it with your mac and cheese. Not crazy special in my opinion, mac and cheese itself was just okay. Didn't blow this cheese fanatic's mind.
Shared the American kobe long bone for $90(?), the sides of the meat were buttery and so tender, however when we got to the center it started to lose the flavor we were enjoying. To be honest the center of the American Kobe became somewhat tough, not flap meat tough, but it definitely was not tender enough to be considered anything kobe in our books. The seasoning of the meat though was really good, perfectly salted with a tasty crust and the perfect temperature of medium rare.
Lemon cake, yum-o! I love lemon cake! What's surprising was that Pinky enjoyed this cake as well and he hates all things lemon! What's good about this cake is that it has the perfect amount of lemon flavor, just enough for the lemon lovers and not too much for people who aren't fans. The frosting was pretty sweet, but it was a perfect complement to the not too sweet cake and filling. The cake itself looks plain Jane, but it's quite tasty!
Idk if I'd come back just because I feel pretty meat-ed out after that meal. If were to though, I'd come and try their ribeye or filet instead.
