I don't really remember my first visit to this restaurant, as we mostly had drinks and appetizers at a high-table, but this recent dinner was surprisingly good. I say "surprisingly" because Del Frisco's Steakhouse around the corner is remarkably inconsistent, and as soon as we walked in, it seemed we were getting "red flags."
One such "red flag" was the open kitchen, which seemed a bit messy and chaotic. The other was the service...or I should say "lack thereof." Once we were seated, it felt like 10 minutes before our server appeared. He finally took our order only to return five minutes later admitting that he had forgotten it entirely. I mean, I what happened to server with bad memories busting out a piece of paper and a pen to take orders. Anyway, cool guy, warm and friendly, but he would disappear for long stretches of time. Luckily, a manger-type woman checked in on us and we were able to tweak our orders and get our waters refilled when we needed to. Suffice it to say, they need to work on their service a bit (-1 point).
So, yes, surprisingly good despite this -- great shrimp cocktail appetizer, aged ribeye steak, sides -- much like what you would get around the corner at the Del Frisco's Steak House on a good night.
