I had a chance to check out Del Frisco's this weekend for Devour, and had a good time.
One of the newer steakhouses in downtown Indy, there's a nice vibe going on. A high-end addition with a high-end cost to match. Decor is modern and sophisticated. A two-story restaurant that gives me an elevated Harry & Izzy's feel. Not to say it's not original, just familiar.
There is a dress code listed on their website. So be mindful. Now, our party abided by the rules, however I did notice that several other patrons did not. Not sure if they are trying to get everybody familiar with them before enforcing the dress code, but nonetheless. Be aware.
Everyone and I mean everyone, from the hostesses to the staff while we were headed to our table, greeted us upon arrival and it was pleasant to experience.
I wish I had gotten better pictures of the food because everything was delicious. So where do I begin??!
Appetizers: I ordered their tuna tartare and my husband ordered their Wagyu meatballs. Both to me were yummy. Hubby didn't care for the tuna tartare, but I did. If I were to get it again, I would ask for a little bit more of their spicy mayo. I can't remember the name of it, but it was delicious.
Bread. Order. The. Bread. BUT: be warned!
Some of the best dinner rolls I've had. Buttery without being too wet. And soft without being under baked. OH my, they were good.
Entrees: For many of us who have a number of steakhouse visits under our belt, we know that not every house cooks their steaks the same. We know the places that overcook steaks and we know the places that undercook steaks. I am pleased to report that Del Frisco's knows how to cook a steak! When our server, Logan, took my order, I was concerned that his description of their medium would be like a medium rare- so I ordered medium well (not usual for me). Well, when my medium well steak came out, it was overcooked for my liking. No one's fault, I just wasn't sure what I was getting by Logan's description. Hubby ordered his steak medium and let me try his. It was perfect. This being my first time, I just didn't know. But now I know that I can trust the folks at Del Frisco's. So they re-fired a new steak, medium, and it was perfectly delicious. The Oscar enhancement was a nice touch. It had a surf and turf taste, that I enjoyed. We ordered the sweet potato casserole and broccolini for our sides. Please note that everything here is à la carte, just FYI. I enjoyed the broccolini. And hubby thought that the sweet potato casserole was okay. Maybe one or two shakes of brown sugar more and I think it would've been good for him.
Dessert: We both ordered dessert from their Devour menu. I had mine to go because I was already full (blame the rolls). And hubby ordered the butter cake and I think he took his to go as well. I thought the chocolate mousse was a chocolate mousse cake, so just slightly surprised, but nonetheless, it was good. Nothing too special, but I came for the steak not the dessert.
We had an issue with the check when we were wrapping up, but it was resolved-no fuss. But just always double check your check before so there's no frustration. So all in all, it was a nice experience. I would like to come back. I have my eye on their surf and turf trio. So we'll see.
I'd give Del Frisco's a 4 out of 5 - only because the price point for their regular menu is a little higher for weekly trips, but not a deterrent for me. I'll just spread my visits out a little but. But check it out for yourself and let me know what you think!
