| - Las Vegas is a city that built itself upon gambling, partying, and booze. A land where men can take their bachelor for one final hurrah and enjoy their final moments before the chains of marriage tie them to a small home in the suburbs with a van in the carport. When that opportunity arises to bring that man for a true "man's experience" nothing says it better that a crafted cocktail and a slab of meat. If you happen to be in Vegas, stray away from the strip and stop by Del Frisco.
Del Frisco may not be among the most celebrated steakhouses and to be perfectly blunt, not one of the places I had ever heard previously, but it is true to its concept with the wood paneled walls, the grandiose chandeliers, and the starched white linen tablecloths to greet you. It's tables aren't amongst the most widely spaced, nor is it the quietest, but it certainly was comfortable and enjoyable for our group.
The menu is your typical steakhouse fare with al selection of appetizers, salads, entrees, and desserts filled with the classics you would come to expect. Nothing truly standing out, yet nothing missing from what you would expect. Our group started with the shrimp cocktail served with its 3 sauces: cocktail, italian, and mustard remoulade. All were decent, but nothing all that spectacular. The crab cakes lived up to its name with a very high proportion of crab and very little filler. Its cajun lobster sauce that accompanied it truly showcased the flavors of the crab.
I opted for the 22oz bone-in ribeye and it was well seasoned and cooked beautifully to order. The flavors of the beef were highlighted and not overwhelmed by the butter flavors used in cooking and I have to say that while it arrived overwhelming, it was quickly consumed by this writer. In fact, he ended up eating half of his mother's filet mignon because it was simple, but that good.
The sides available to order had high and low moments. From the lackluster chateau potatoes that were ok but overall unimpressive to the spinach supreme which was well seasoned and nicely cooked, it almost seemed that the only thing you should order is the steak. Then the lobster mac and cheese arrived and a new chapter was written. The earth stood still as the first bite hit my taste buds and took my breath away. It was a beautiful creamy symphony of the lobster and cheese flavors set amidst beautifully cooked pasta. You could almost see the smile of God at that moment.
Food arrived in a well-timed orchestration and allowed for us to rest between courses and the servers were quick to serve in classic format that was quite impressive for a party our size. The waiter was incredibly patient and clearly well-versed in their menu and wine list which was pretty impressive.
Price was rather reasonable (even though I was a guest and didn't have to pay) when you look at other classic steakhouses. Wines are a tad on the steeper side, but it is a steakhouse and the pricing wasn't that bad in that sense.
When it comes to a need for a steak in Vegas, skip the $7.99 bargain deal and celebrate your friend's last moments of single-hood with a scotch and a fantastic steak that makes you really feel like a man.
