    Hosting a guest from out of town, we were confident that Del Frisco's Grille was the right choice. We weren't let down. Our server, Sabrina, couldn't have been better. She was gracious, attentive but not intrusive, provided excellent food and drink advice, and went out of her way to ensure that one of our party's food allergy concerns were dealt with properly. Service was efficient but not rushed. The ambiance was ideal, with noise levels being conducive to good conversation. Our food orders were delectable, which included the Steakhouse Salad, Rigatoni Bolognese, and Winter Citrus Burrata Salad. Once again DFG knocked it out of the park! Many thanks!

    I did like the look and ambiance of the space. The food was mostly good, especially the chicken. I didn't care for the cornbread, very dry and not much flavor. The drinks were decent. This was our team holiday dinner, party of 8. We had an early reservation so the place was not busy when we arrived. Our group was a little disappointed with the service. Our server seemed a little stressed in keeping up with our table, which we thought was odd, since ours was the only large party there at the time. A colleague in our group asked for a to go box and he received a little bit of an attitude from our server, saying he was helping another table first. Lastly, I ordered the strawberry shortcake to go. Honestly, this dessert was terrible! It was made using their biscuits. Very dry, hardly any strawberries or cream. Top 5 worst restaurant desserts!

    The chicken pot pie was delicious, big enough to feed two people. French onion soup had plenty of onions done just right and we liked the entree sized house salad. A great lunch for two people priced under $55 including the 4% surcharge for back-of-house staff. The vibes from staff— servers, expediters, hostess and bartender — were all very positive
