Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Lake Forest

I met a friend for happy hour. 3 pm but we were given a brunch menu? Not really what we had in mind but we both picked the steak salad. It was really tasty and well done steak. The waitress must have been busy because we didn’t see her at all until we finished. No refills of water. It was a bit pricey for 2 salads and a three glass wine tasting for one and an ice tea for the other. $90

Hadn't eaten at Del Frisco's since many years ago in Dallas, TX. Spectrum Center location is well appointed and inviting. Food was very good, but pricey. Dinner for 4 with minimum drinks ran $300.00; so definitely not for the faint hearted :)

We had our family Christmas Dinner here this year & managed to get a private room upstairs. Evan was fantastic taking care of our family. This was a second trip for the week as we celebrated a birthday dinner at FC on Wednesday as well. A disappointment that we were not able to get the Christmas goose on Saturday as we were told it would be available since we missed it on Wednesday...my wife's favorite. I'm not sure if the kitchen was short staffed, overwhelmed, or there was new people, but many of the dishes at our table were not cooked as requested. Both the duck & ribeye were overcooked..& we hate to send back knowing it will be thrown out. The fingerling potatoes were also quite undercooked. It won't dampen our enthusiasm for return visits, but a bit of a bummer for our family Christmas dinner.

Always great service! Food is excellent as well. Servers Stella, John and Natalie and others are always on top of it! 0h and David too! If I had one complaint it would be that it gets very loud inside the restaurant, can’t talk to people at your table very easily. I give the restaurant 5 stars!

The food is consistently delicious and plentiful. The menu is varied, not only Italian pastas but chicken and beef choices as well. We go to Brio about once a month. We always have excellent service by the waitstaff. Tonight Austin was our server. He was knowledgeable about the menu and excellent in tending to us at dinner.
