What can I say that hasn't already been said about this magical palace of meat? Spent Super Bowl Sunday here. Came in post-game without a reservation and was given a nice table. Service was cordial and speedy. Loved the old school steakhouse feel. They have a lovely wooden bar. The place felt very masculine, but in a nice, classy way. Our server took a lot of pride in describing specials and menu items for us. There were a lot of great options on the menu and we first considered ordering a' la carte, but we noticed what a good deal their dinner for two was. On Sundays, they offer a $100 per couple dinner. It includes a salad of your choice, filet mignon and crab cakes, one side dish each and dessert for each person.
I was fully expecting the portions to be smaller because of the meal deal. However, we definitely got full-sized portions. The crab cakes were among the best I've ever had. There was barely any filler and huge chunks of crab throughout. Not really a crab cake, but more of a crab dollop. Loved it! The steak had so much flavor and was cooked perfectly to my medium rare specifications. The filet was the perfect level of pink and the outside seasoning was spot-on. I'm not even a big fan of filet mignon, but this one was like butter. Loved their side dishes too. The mashed potatoes were so decadent and the broccoli gave me the right amount of green, so I didn't feel like a total fatty. I can't remember dessert, except to say I enjoyed it at the time. I think I was in a meat-induced coma and the whole thing is a blur.
While we dined we were entertained by a jazz pianist. Perfect atmosphere to compliment a pitch perfect meal. All of this, combined with easy parking, made it a night to remember. Del Frisco's will always be a part of my Vegas itinerary from now on.
