Steaks were really tender. Glass windows were so clear, birds might run into them like in the Windex commercial.
I went to Del Frisco twice (once for lunch, once for dinner), but its almost a year ago for both times. Why did it take me so long to write a review? Maybe I just went to too many steakhouses over the past year and forgot about this one.
But this place isn't forgettable. It has nice decor, high ceilings, spacious dining room that is far enough from the bar area that you don't hear much noise from the bar.
The steaks matched the quality of the decor. It was so tender and flavorful. Just writing about it makes me think when to setup a meetup with the Meetup group for dinner at this place (so I can write a more detailed review on the food).

Del Frisco's is my favorite steakhouse, ever.
Unless you're rolling like Jay-Z, you probably shouldn't eat here every night, but every once in awhile, everyone deserves to treat themselves to a fabulous meal.
The crabcakes are more like crab burgers. I've never come across such a large piece of specimen before! And the steak? Absolutely melt in your mouth perfection. My roommate was able to cut her steak with her fork - HER FORK (granted she did order her steak rare but I also think that's pretty rare to be able to do). Now you know that must be some good meat. I always order the 8 oz. filet, though I have tried the 12 oz. once and needed to be rolled home after finishing it. The sides are amazing compliments, however, they are family style meaning they need to be shared. The free warm bread is also delicious but try not to fill up on it while waiting for your steak, which does take a little while to cook.
The atmosphere is a little on the loud side. However, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the bustling and brightly lit Avenue of the Americas (Radio City is across the street), it is makes for a gorgeous dinner setting. The waiters are extremely attentive, willing to answer any questions about the menu and offer their suggestions on wine pairings (the list is quite extensive). Heck, they should be that knowledgeable if you're willing to throw that much down on steak...
I even received a handwritten card from my waitress once, thanking me for my patronage. How's that for attentive!
I really wish I were a meat fan. And unfortunately even after this experience I can't say that I am. Even though this was probably the best cooked filet mignon I've ever had, as well as definitely the best creamed spinach...
The atmosphere was right across from my old job, which made it lose a couple of points. But after I drank some wine and forgot about that, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal when I wasn't being badgered by the intense waiting service - who seemed all too happy to ask questions and see if all was ok.
A wonderful meal all in all. Luckily I wasn't paying...
Came here for the second time on a recent to to NY. Another great experience had. Prompt and attentive service (despite the restaurant being packed), great drinks, and fantastic food (and lots of it).
2 orders of crab cakes (yes, it's that good), oysters on the half shell, steak tartare, ceasar salad and a bottle of wine later, I was already stuffed. I knew I was in for the food coma of my life. My filet arrived perfectly medium-rare, but I was too busy gobbling up sides of potatoes and creamed corn to finish. The only slight disappointment of the night was dessert, bread pudding and chocolate mousse. It wasn't that it was bad, it just wasn't great.
Solid meal, totally worth the 3-hour long food coma that followed.
ARRGH! I know I should hate this place as a Manhattanite. It is loud, obnoxious, packed with bridge & tunnel and tourists..... and I don't care! Del Frisco's is my favorite steak house. From start to finish, this place is dope! The hostesses are attentive and polite - no attitude. While you wait for your table, the bar serves excellent drinks and has a sociable staff. Once at your table, you are assaulted by some of the best prime aged steak you will ever eat. The sides are good too, albeit a bit too large. The mac & cheese is amazing if you have a bunch of friends to help you with it. For wine lovers, the wine list is simply unbelievable. I am a huge fan of big California reds and they have a great selection of wines from Ridge, Heitz, and Stag's Leap. If you know nothing about wine, the sommeliers at Del Frisco's are very friendly and helpful without even a touch of condescension. This place is very expensive, so be prepared for a bill for dinner for 2 to be $150-$200+. If I had FU-money and didn't care about calories, I would eat there every night.
There aren't many great things about being in a recession. But one of the good things is that I can get a table on short notice at Del Frisco's now and I've been taking advantage.
Why? Because this is what a steakhouse is meant to be like.
Everything is always on point every time I go. Prompt service. Generous pours from the bar. Great wine list. Excellent selection of appetizers. One of the best steak you will ever taste. Amazing sides.
And the best damn crab cake you will ever eat.
I would go into a list of the amazingness but, to be honest, I've never had anything that wasn't perfectly prepared.
And to all of those Yelpers that are taking off points for the price, please stop. Yes, it's an expensive place. However, you get what you pay for and if you can afford it you will not be disappointed.

Had a lovely steak, the bread is awesome, and the steak tar-tare was MMM MMM Good!!! Met a cool NJ couple that were the typical NJ couple which I loved since just being in NYC only 3 wks that night...the bartender was nice, and shared the VIP cocktail w/me and cannot wait to go back w/the girls for happy hour and have a few of my own!!!
Appetizer, Steak, and I think a bottle of water was $78
I agree, perfect crab cakes, I live near San Francisco, and I these are the best crab cakes I've ever had. Great restaurant!
I've been to Maryland several times because my girlfriend used to live there, and I would still say that Del Frisco's has the best crab cakes I ever had. The atmosphere is upscale but relatively chill. I love the seating upstairs, it's not as noisy. The steak I had was BURNT, even though I always ask for rare to medium rare (I have pics to prove it haha). This greatly lowers Del Frisco's score because it's a steakhouse!!! The bill was around 300 for 2 people so keep that in mind. You only get one shot, but luckily everything else at Del Frisco's minus the steak was on target, so I'll return another day, until then TooodaLu Mofo's.

Great crabcakes -- more like crab burgers, very meaty.
Great oysters.
Great service.
Great sides -- very rich.
Great steaks.
Cheapest bottle of wine was about $120 (I sure wasn't paying).
Great ambiance.

I've never wanted to be one of the power suits on wall street, but some of my friends who are told me I had to eat here, it was worth it.
I call bullshit.
The cut of meat was ok. Granted I had to order the cheapest on the list because I don't get million dollar bonus' to drive companies into the ground.
All of the waiter(esses) are dressed in suits, which is great, but the service didn't match the attire. I don't really enjoy having someone hover over me when I'm eating. Trust me I'll let you know if my 65$ steak isn't good enough.
We had the potatoes and green beans, both of which were drenched in butter. This place isn't exactly morton's, you're paying more for the view than anything else.

Given the lunch rush in Midtown,Del Frisco's is okay. They always have a seat for you and the food edible.
HOWEVER . . .
When my friend and I told the waiter that we were in a hurry and had 45 minutes to eat, he took our order and it took them over 40 minutes to come back with our Steak salads which was prepared medium, thank you. When asked to bag it up to go, the waiter almost had an attitude that he didn't know we were in a hurry. No apologies either. They were not full . . . and a lot of empty tables. I guess this will be the last time I or any of my friends/clients eat here.
Steak salad is a disappointment...the mix of the greens is just all wrong. Flavorless. Not well balanced with the steak.
The steak is lovely, the wine list extensive and well balanced. Spacious seating, airy space. A mainstay of the NY steakhouse scene.
This place is in my top 3 of fave NYC steakhouses. I went last night with a friend for the 1st time, and i was blown away. On a Thursday night, it was really crowded and although i made reservations, they said it will still be a 15 minute wait. The waiting was kind of annoying since it was so hectic near the bar but the staff was very kind and eventually we got seated. Our waitress was really nice and accomodating. We ordered a bottle of red wine, but unfortunately they ran out the day before. They gave us another higher priced wine for the same price as compensation. I had the bone-in filet mignon and it was cooked a beautiful med-rare, with more on the rare side near the bone. It was so tender and flavorful. The potatoes au gratin and the grilled broccoli were a hit too. Definitely willing to go here again.

Yucko! That the steaks my my table ordered were overcooked should say enough about this place. But for some reason, it is so hyped up (maybe because New Yorkers think that this must be the real deal because it originated in Texas).
Grease drives the flavors of the sides to such a degree that Ruth Chris' preparation seems the paradigm of restraint. And the molten chocolate cake is a joke - frankly, you can get a better one at Beard Pap's for a few bucks.

Great steakhouse, one of the best I've experienced. Perfectly prepared steaks, sides a la carte and extensive wine list. Great for special occasions.
As a fan of steakhouses (Delmonico Las Vegas still my favorite), the steaks at Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse may have been my favorite, however the busy bar and midtown New York crowd keeps this restaurant at #2 on my list of favorite steakhouses.
For cigar smokers, there is a bit of history at this location. There is a cigar smoking room upstairs where you could once smoke cigars after (or before) enjoying your dinner. Last time I was there you can still see the glass etched door and dining space.
Very nice decor. People are well dressed there. The steak was good. Everyone should go there for their lunch menu which comes with a salad, steak and dessert at a bargain price. The service was meticulous.
However, food is extremely overpriced. Don't even bother to order any wine from their wine list unless you are ready to pay 10 times mark-up! Other than that, the food is good, no complaint.
A room full of suits = "Power dinners." I was happy not to blend in.
I gave this restaurant three stars because you need to take a loan out to have dinner here. I don't think there was a single entree that was under $35, and that is ala carte (meaning you have to purchase your sides separately). 6 oysters, which were not nearly as good as buttermilk channel's were, were $17, almost 3 bucks an oyster.
The steaks were good; I wouldn't say amazing, but good. The sides were a little uninspired--the potatoes au gratin was a cheesy mess, the asparagus cooked well but lacking enough seasoning.
The service, however, was excellent. It was the kind of service in which you feel like they are reading your mind. I hadn't had the wine list in my hand for 3 seconds before a roving sommelier was tableside asking if she could assist me. Plates were cleared promptly but never prematurely; the table was crumbed approximately 5 times, and wonderfully so. I used to wait tables and I wielded my crumber like an monkey wrench. These guy's whisked our table clean in one fluid motion. The waittress was knowledgeable and even passionate about what she served.
Service is usually something you complain about, or ignore if it is good. But this service was exceptional.
The wine list is good, if riddled with astronomically expensive bottles.
Maybe I was simply out of my league (thanks for paying, Dave!) but I feel like, in a recession (or any other time for that matter), it is always good to have delicious food/wine options on your menu that won't make the diner's rent check bounce. Or, as I did, just go to Del Frisco's with your investment banker friend and let him foot the bill.

This is a good place to go to for a celebration or for an expensive happy hour. I went for a celebration. The place is loud almost everywhere in the restaurant but I was seated in the farthest corner on the first floor (next to their private dining room). So if you want to hear yourself talk you can try to get this little area. I started with the crab cake appetizer and it was very good. The portion size is perfect for an appetizer and will prep your taste buds for a feast to come. For dinner I ordered the 16oz bone-in fillet. It was just ok. I expect fillet's to practically dissolve in your mouth but this involved a few extra chews to get it down. It was seasoned perfectly (salt and pepper is all you need for a fillet). For sides we shared the baked sweet potato which was more like dessert (very good). We also had the asparagus which was ok (nothing special). For dessert we had their chocolate cake which was ok but their lemon cake was outstanding. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of this cake. you definitely need to share it with at least 4 people. I think if you want to leave full you can share a side dish between 2 people. If you want to leave feeling just satisfied you can share them among 3-4 people. The staff is extremely attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu (you'd be surprised how many waiters aren't well versed in their menu). I'd go back but next time I'd try the regular fillet. Expect to drop a lot of money if you go here. We had a bottle of champagne, bottle of red, 4 appetizers, 2 sides, 4 mains and 2 desserts and with tip the bill was 650.
Del Frisco's is probably the biggest steakhouse in Manhattan, spanning two levels, filled with tables and bars located on each level. It can be quite a scene during happy hour, filled with young banker types and the cougars that love them.
I have been to Del Frisco's at least twenty times, mostly for business lunches. Each time I am pleased with the meal. When I order meat, I usually get the filet mignon, media rare and if I'm in the mood for fish I go with a seared tuna. Both are consistently good. Some Del Frisco's other popular dishes include their crab cake appetizer, which are fantastic and their macaroni and cheese side. They also have a huge wine list, which includes several varieties of Cake Bread, one of my favorite wineries.
I'm always reluctant to give any steakhouse five stars, as few compare to Peter Luger's but Del Frisco's is well worth a visit.

Very delicious steakhouse. I've tried the Prime Ribeye and the Prime Porterhouse and both were seasoned very well. The strip cut of the porterhouse was very flavorful, and the filet was very very tender. We also tried the crabcake, and while it was good, I don't know if it's to die for at $20 for such a small piece. The creamed spinach was good with the pieces of small bacon cooked in.
Top 5 steakhouse in the city for sure for me.

Obviously they serve a mean steak. I'm a huuuge fan of the bone-in ribeye they always seem to have on special. Del Frisco's is one of those places you have to go to now and then, although it is truthfully always best to when you're on an expense account as it's not cheap. I always go for the seafood sampler platter (adjust for table size) and get the mac & cheese and mushrooms. An interesting tidbit - the bar is an interesting scene and Wednesday nights are known as cougar night (or used to be).
Came here for a work dinner party. The steaks were cooked perfectly. We ordered a lot of sides which all complimented the meat nicely. Service was superior to other steakhouses and the setting was great for a corporate function.
The food here was definitely better than other famous steakhouses in New York and I would go back!
Del Frisco's has the most delicious, flavorful steaks! We've eaten there a few times and both experiences have been spectacular. The first time around we split a porterhouse which was gorgeously cooked to perfection. After devouring the prime bits I was pretty much done. I pushed my plate aside and enjoyed the company a bit. Then, a few minutes later, I found myself scouring the bone with my knife and fork for little nibbles of meat, just to get a liiiiitle extra smidgen of goodness.
The second time we both went for a special, a filet mignon and rib eye on the bone, respectively. Again, they nailed the cooking and seasoning and served a wonderful pair of steaks.
The sides we very decent both times, but the star is definitely the meat. In two stops there, the sides we ordered were grilled asparagus, the creamed corn, the steak tartar, and the homemade potato chips and onions. All were pretty standard and fairly tasty, the exception being the tartar which was absolutely outstanding and flavorful. Same thing for the desserts, they are decent and tasty, but not particularly notable.
The service was impeccable each time. The staff is efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly. They even send a kitschy handwritten note to thank you the day after. Nice touch for the rubes.
The decor is upscale but the vibe is anything but snobby. We felt totally cool there in smart casual clothing. Overall, it's an excellent place for steaks. Can't wait to go back again!
Del Frisco's appears to be staffed entirely by very attractive, overly flirty girls, from the front desk to the waitstaff. Our waitress had little knowledge of the wine list, but she went out of her way to make us feel sufficiently flirted with.
That said, the food was more than satisfying. My friend ordered the fillet trio, each with it's own unique sauce. The filets were truly exceptional, and the sauces were indeed spot-on. I had the boneless ribeye. It was a little more medium-rare than rare-warm as I had ordered it, but tender nonetheless. Besides, the best part was the seasoning, even for a usual salt-and-pepper purist like myself.
Oh, and did I mention the crab cake? The (clearly fresh) crabmeat is the undisputed star, but the seasoning and surrounding sauce are a close tie for second. This is really a must-taste crab cake. Then again, it wasn't the BEST I've had, but that's mostly because it's just barely an actual crab cake, even by the loosest of definitions.
To be honest, despite the good work in the kitchen here, I'd expect better service for a $170 dinner for two... Including someone with at least a moderate amount of wine expertise. Cute girls alone just don't cut it... it's almost an insult to those of us who dine exclusively for the food.

My journey for my favorite steakhouse stops here. I must have eaten here 3-4 times. This steak snob must have his steaks 'rare-plus', a term an Austin waitress at Sullivan's properly schooled me on. I have traveled high and low for the perfect steaks and Del Frisco's won me over; more than once. These guys are on top of their steaks and no bragging right will win me over less' they really pay careful attention to the timing of their steaks grilled.
I mean, when we 'rare-plus' carnivores begin to 'instruct' our waiters/waitresses just how we crave for our steaks to be done, it can be quite a mouthful. At Del Frisco, the waiter/waitress simply replies by asking 'rare-warm or rare-cool'?....now that's a homerun.
I had nearly all versions of their steaks. The bone-in rib eye and porterhouses are still my faves. Sometimes, I'd ask the bone-in rib eye to be cooked with a cajun spice. yummy.
For me, the spices on the steak is not my primary judgement of great meat, it's the temperature. It happens that the seasoning used here are very very tastey without being overboard and complicated as other steakhouses made it to be. And you certainly do not need a sauce to make up for the lack of juices in the steak either.
....oh, let's not forget their onion rings. If I can't have the steaks here, I'd get the Onion Rings for sure. They are large Onions with a nicely salted batter that is not greasy.
Be prepared to spend a pretty penny. I make it a trip to visit often but at over $200 per person each visit, it's not for everyone.

If you love yourself and you love steak, you will go here.
The story: We went with a party of about 10 people. 1 was deathly allergic to garlic. She ordered the steak tartare, asking if it contained any garlic and to make sure that none be anywhere near it? Upon receiving the plate, the tartare is garlic free, but what is it served with? Garlic bread crisps. Yes.
The server comp'd the tartare, and ended up giving us over $100 worth of dessert, for free.
I know what you're thinking-- "steakhouse dessert? big deal. it usually sux"-- but no! This was some of the greatest dessert I have had.
Bottom line? Food is great, but service is amazing.
P.S. Order the Paul Hobbes Cabernet. Softest cab I have ever tasted. Well worth the $200 per bottle.

One of my favorite steak places in the city - very open yet elegant environment gives it a classy feel without being too stuffy. The steaks are always excellent, the sides are delicious, and I never leave unsatisfied.
This place was recommended by our carriage ride guy in Central Park. Turned out to be delicous. We had the crab cake which was great, not too bready, a lot of crab. Also had the oysters and dry aged steak. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare.
Service was excellent, they even sent me a nice thank you card, which I thought was a nice old school touch.
Go to the bar for power drinks on a weekday evening (not Friday).

I'm amending my original review that I gave just a few weeks ago, because after sending my same comments to del Frisco's through their website, I feel like they're taking great efforts to rectify my bad experience.
The GM, Scott Gould, of the New York restaurant called me twice the day after he received my comments, and then e-mailed me the next day when I hadn't responded. I was out of town, so I had no idea they were trying to contact me.
When we finally connected, he apologized profusely for the bad experience and offered to send me a gift certificate in the hopes that I'll return and dine with them again. I actually told him it was unnecessary and the fact that the GM was calling to apologize for the situation was really enough for me. And it was. But he insisted anyhow.
In my book, customer service goes a long way, and restaurants like Del Frisco's are supposed to be like the Neiman Marcuses of restauranting. The responsiveness of their New York GM put them back in my book of exceptional dining experiences. I hope to give them 5-stars after my next visit, because they really are that good of a restaurant.
-------------------------------------------------- ----
It hurts me to give del Frisco's just 3 stars right now, because I've always enjoyed it when visiting the City. But after this last visit, I'm completely annoyed. The food was superb as always, but that was it. They deserve 4.5-stars for their food, but 2 stars for their service this time.
The good:
This time, I ordered the crab cake special for apps and my friend and I shared their special domestic Kobe longbone steak. We finished up with their Lemon Cake. Everything was superb.
The bad:
When a waitress recommends you a special that's as unusual as "domestic Kobe longbone steak" at $94, and you ask her simple questions about the steak like "What's special about the steak?" and she says, "I don't know, but it comes on a really long bone," you really should just get up and leave. We didn't because, we at least had the assurance of del Frisco's quality. And we actually ordered it, because I was taking my friend out for his birthday and first real visit to New York.
Also, we made reservations for 8:30pm and weren't seated until around 9:15pm. The surly---albeit, over-stressed---host almost sat a couple of businessmen ahead of us before I finally walked up with my "I've had it!" look. The point of taking a reservation is to HOLD the reservation as Jerry Seinfeld says.
For a $250 meal for two people, the pacing was horrible! Obviously because we were seated so late, the waitress rushed us through our entire meal. We finished it in about 1 hour. Let me just say, you don't spend $250 to eat in an hour like you're at Olive Garden. You spend that kind of money to enjoy your company and have time to savor great food. The only reason why I didn't complain was because I didn't want to ruin my friend's birthday. But I was so embarrassed because I had raved to him about how much I loved the restaurant.
I might go back there again one day even though it's been an old haunt for me, but that won't be for a very long time. I think it's time for me to try out some other great steakhouses in the city.

This is one of the best steaks I've had in New York City. This is a great place for a business lunch or dinner as it is right underneath the Mcgraw-Hill building, conveniently nestled amongst the midtown superstructures.
The steaks are perfectly seasoned and cooked to your specifications, the sides are all amazing (our group had mac & cheese, cauliflower, creamed spinach, and sweet potato mash), and their tome of a wine book will make any oenophile happy.
I am sure I will be back again.

How good is this place? Here's a clue..I'm still full from last night's dinner here. It's not good food, it's fantastic food! For starters, we had the shrimp cocktail and crab cake. Wow. Delicious. The cocktail sauce was spicy enough and the shrimp tails were BIG! The crab cake was not fried, so it was full of flavor.
For entrees, we both ordered filet mignon. I had the crab bernaise sauce on mine, and my girlfriend had the frois gras butter on hers. Absolutely melt in your mouth steaks. Oh my god. The best steak I think I've ever had!
The bread beforehand was fantastic, as was that dreamy whipped butter. For sides, we had the macaroni and cheese that was to die for, as well as the lobster gnocci. I thought the gnocci was a bit rich, but my friend absolutely loved it.
Overall, the food here is orgasmically delicious. The atmosphere is hustle and bustle. Serious after work, out of town business crowd. It's loud but full of energy here. LOVED IT!!!!!! Can't wait to go back!

First time in NYC, and I ate here with my family for lunch. It was full of people in all business attire and I felt awkward being on vacation dressed in jeans... but that's besides the point.
The service is great and the steak is delicious! But what I would definitely recommend is the crab cakes. Mmmm they were soo good. Okay that's all.
Well..must be honest, I've been there plenty of times! Fortunately for my wallet, I've never paid...always on someone else's expense account!
The scene - yes its a bunch of midtown professionals, the glamorous "yes I am made of money" crowd. But get beyond that and it is a nice room. Especially nice if you can afford and reserve one of their private rooms! My favorite is the wine cellar. Its pretty neat to chow down on your $50 plus steak as you are surrounded by bottles and bottles of wine!
A must to try around the holiday season is their special Kobe Bone in steak...a must try if its on the menu! As far as the other steaks...no matter which one you go with you are sure to pick a winner. As always, please do not get the steak well done. I've seen people order their steaks well done and complain that the steak is dry half way through their meal...duhhh!! Why do you think that is. Del friscos steaks are truly seasoned to perfection and the oly way to experience that is to have them at best, medium well. My preference is simply medium. The ribeyes have just the right amount of fat on them for a very juicy and flavorful experience. The porterhouse is overly satisfying as well...as said before, you really can't go wrong with any of the steaks here!
For the apps...go with the crab cakes. I think this is an understood must have by everyone. Something about that cajun saeasoning that makes everyone agree its a must have!
The sides are ok...nothing really stands out. Besides when it comes to sides...everyone has their own taste!
As far as wine...go in ready to be dazzled...a very lengthy wine list with some quality names...Joseph Phelps included...Mondavi...many more. Have fun...but bring the Amex Corporate card!
I gotta tell you, the steaks here are amazing. Best place in NY to get a steak. The service is ok. T-Bone to die for!
I usually take 3 bites of steak and get full. Here, I finished an entire 8oz er filet with no looking back. As well as some potatoes au gratin, shrimp appetizers, garden vegetables, a cosmo, and a bite of chocolate cake. Phenomenal.
My mom got their special of 3 3oz filets with different toppings. Crab thingy was the only one I remember and really liked.
Everything was delish, the service was excellent, and when I bring in the cheddar again, I will be returning.

This is where hottie hostesses go to land rich husbands. Seriously, they were blond with short skirts. Odd intro to the place, but OK.
Food was good. I had a steak sandwich (lunch), which was too big for me to eat as a sandwich. It came with "potato salad." It was more German-style and slightly hot. Not quite what I expected. It was this side of decent. My colleague ordered a steak and mashed potatoes. She gave me a bite, and I thought they were great! The steak didn't melt in your mouth or anything like that, but I wouldn't complain. I spotted a few salads, looked good. The side salad has two strips of huge bacon on the top. Seems wrong somehow.
The decor is definitely upscale. If you can expense the meal, go for it. If it's on your dime, I'd go for a smaller place with more character. But I'm not a big, beefy, golden-era-of-Wall-Street-type of gal.
Overpriced investment banker hangout cum tourist trap. NIce decor with a big NY theme restaurant feeling. Food is very hit or miss here.
Had the filet special last night with the crab. To put it politely it did not sit well for atleast 24 hours afterwards. Also what filet has grizzle? Since we had a late walk-in dinner, I suspect they were out of filet and substituting the cuts. Dinner guest had a very chewy t bone despite ordering medium rare.
Very different experience from the last time I was here and enjoyed the food. So many better and more reasonably priced places in NYC to get your fill of steak! Stay away.
My favorite steakhouse in all of NYC. I think it is expensive but it's another place I only go to when some unknown corporation foots the bill. The steaks are fantastic, just like you would expect at $~50 per.
I do appreciate that the sommelier came to teh table and was clearly not pushing absudly expensive wines, even though it was clear we were a bunch of corporate card whores. No trying to guilt or causing akwardness.
The Lobster tails are Australian, and enormous. I cannot imagine not having a good meal at Del Frisco.
