Del Friscos NYC

If you decide to dine out in New York City, there is a vast choice of different eateries form which you can choose. You will find everything from Italian restaurants to Middle Eastern Tavernas, and from Jamaican joints to Chinese buffet-style restaurants. Despite the diversity of the options available, steakhouses remain one of the most popular options. Even if you have decided that a steakhouse is your preferred type of venue, you will still face a difficult decision about where to eat as there are so many excellent steakhouses in New York City. One of the best steakhouses in NYC is Del Frisco’s, and here is an overview of the reasons why.

Important Information

The first point to make is that Del Frisco’s is a well-established chain restaurant that has grown a reputation for the quality of its food. It has locations across the United States, and this is an indicator that these steakhouses are a good option as customers return often enough to make this a hugely profitable chain. Del Frisco’s has also won multiple awards, which is another sign that their restaurants are worth a visit. Next, let’s take a look at the food they serve. There are separate menus for lunch and dinner service. The lunch menu has many dishes that are excellent for those who want a lighter or healthier option. In addition to the general appetizers, there are salad starters and entrée salads. Other options include pan-seared scallops, fish and chips, stroganoff, and baby back ribs, among many other options. As a steakhouse, there is also a good selection of steak, with some of the top choices including filet mignon and New York strip.

The Menu

The dinner menu features a selection of sharing starters, flatbreads, soups, side salads, and entrée salads. However, for most people who visit at dinner time, it is all about the steaks, and there is the same selection of steak dishes as on the lunch menu. These are cooked to order as you like them, and diners report that they are juicy and tender. Regardless of whether you are visiting at lunch or dinner time, you can accompany your meal with one of the delicious side dishes. If you have ordered a steak, you can also opt for a steak topping or a sauce. It is worth trying to squeeze in a dessert at Del Frisco’s as they there are some deliciously indulgent dishes on offer. Just some examples include coconut cream pie, peanut butter chocolate pie, molten chocolate cake, and Nutella bread pudding.

There is a bar at all the locations, so you can decide whether you want to accompany your meal with a glass of wine or something else from the bar. However, it is not the wines or beers for which this restaurant is best known as it is actually better known for its fun cocktails. On the cocktail menu, you can expect to see exciting drinks such as The Redeemer, Youth Serum, Nick’s Negroni, Honeymoon in Paris, and Moscow Mule. City Guide NY describes Del Frisco’s restaurants as large, sophisticated, and elegant spaces where fine dining has been redefined. The general vibe of the restaurants is great, so it is just as suitable for intimate occasions as it is for eating out as a family or large group. If you are eating as a large group or you have an event to celebrate, it is also possible to hire out a private space for dining as there are several private dining facilities available, including unique wine cellar dining.

The Environment

Another element that gives these restaurants a good vibe and makes them a pleasant environment in which to enjoy a steak is excellent customer service. You can guarantee that you will be met with a smile from all the staff. They are attentive enough that you feel like you are being treated as a special customer but not overly attentive in a way that would interfere with your conversations or dining experience. If you need any recommendations from the menu or the wine list, they are more than happy to help. The final point to consider is the price. Compared to other steakhouses in the area that serve similar dishes, Del Frisco’s has a comparable price point. For an appetizer, an entrée, a side dish, and a bottle of wine, you can expect to pay under $100 per person. Therefore, it is a reasonably priced place to eat if you want to dine somewhere more special than the local diner without paying fine dining costs.
Overall, Del Fresco’s has many good points that make it one of the best steakhouses in New York City. The food is made using good quality ingredients and the steaks are cooked to perfection. There is a good choice of dishes, including several healthier and lighter options for people who have smaller appetites. The restaurants have a great vibe with good quality service. The fact that the meals are very reasonably priced is another point in this restaurant’s favor.

If you are a fan of Del Frisco’s food or you want to find out for yourself whether this is a good steakhouse or not, you can try one of their three New York City locations. There two Del Grille’s, one on Vesey Street and one in the Rockefeller Center. The other is the Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse on 6th Avenue. All three restaurants of this chain are open for both lunch and dinner service. It is worth noting that there are multiple locations of this steakhouse chain across the United States. On most occasions, it is not necessary to make a reservation at the various Del Fresco’s locations. However, it is wise to book a table if you are dining out as part of a large group to make sure that the steakhouse can accommodate your party.
