For the past two years I have taken my son here for his Birthday. For that special occasion he loves it.
I travel nationally and have spent 30 years eating at every kind of restaurant imaginable.
Del Frisco's knows how to wait on a table. They bring out a server for each person at the table so you are all served at the same time. I have always thought this is a great piece of theater for any restaurant.
They serve good steaks - good quality meat.
They have an extensive wine list.
The food other than the meat is nowhere near the quality of the meat. I know this is a steak house and so maybe no one else cares. But over the past five years or so I have enjoyed watching restaurants set themselves above their competition by paying a lot more attention to the rest of the meal beyond the meat.
We had mushrooms and creamed corn. I would guess that both came out of a can or jar from Institutional Food House. The mushrooms seemed micro waved. The creamed corn traded some spices for being actually creamed. No cream anywhere near my corn.
I would enjoy Del Frisco's much more if the sides were fresh and local. Maybe from the local farmers market.
If the sides were as good as the steak it would certainly make this more of a destination.
At this point it is a place to take someone once to impress them with how much you spend, not with how much you enjoy great food.
