Del Frisco's is as good as it gets in my opinion. \n\nWith some serious dieting ahead of both Terri R and I, a weekend of cheat meals filled our calendar. I have to be honest, I originally wanted Ruth Chris but they were booked this evening. So, I ended up making reservations here solely based on other Yelper's reviews. Great choice Mel! Pat myself on my back time. \n\nFirst of all, service was top notch. It all started with the lovely and very nice, Priscilla. From start to finish, she was delightful, helpful, and made our dining experience that much better. Along with great service from Priscilla, we received the same type service from everyone serving the food. This place is stacked with employees that go out of their way to make you feel like you and your date are the only ones in the restaurant. Your unsightly empty dishes are swept away with the quickness and they even clean up around you with their handy dandy table swifters. All this pampering during dinner and you wouldn't even notice it until they're gone\n\nNow for the food. We got their Prime Pair, which is their $49 per person Prix Fixe. This is a special only running through Labor Day so hurry up peeps. This is a great deal. \n\nPrime Par (Prix Fixe)\n1. Salads: You get your choice of salads from their Del's, Wedge, or Caesar. We both got their Caesar. Although it was good, it was a just a beast to eat since it wasn't chopped. Terri worked her way through the salad and I didn't because I thought it was too much work. Not docking Del's because you don't go to a steakhouse and review their salad. \n\n2. Dinner Bread: Nothing special here. You get a loaf of their sesame bread. For a place that serves quality food, the bread was less than average. But again, you don't come to a steak house for bread. \n\n3. The entree is an 8 oz hand cut Filet Mignon with your choice of crab cakes, shrimp, or scallops. I had the crab cakes, which is drenched in lobster sauce. My goodness....this was delicious. Terri had the shrimp and she said it was delicious as well. She offered, but I was focused on my meal. Now for the filet mignon....this was the 1st highlight. Great tasting filet, high protein, and tasted like any other top notch steakhouse out here. I mean it. This steak can give Ruth Chris a run for their money and it's probably a tad healthier since it's not drenched in butter. Their steaks didn't have that melt in your mouth feel, but it did have that taste of a well prepped filet. \n\n4. Sides: You also have a choice of sides that included potatoes, spinach, mushrooms, and corn. We got the potatoes, mushrooms, and for an additional cost, added their Lobster Mac N Cheese. The 2nd highlight to this evening had to be their Lobster Mac. Creamy/cheesy mac, lobster chunks, and a hint of lobster sauce describes this. Tough to explain, but it's probably the best lobster mac that I have ever had. \n\nOverall, I am giving Del Frisco's 5 stars because I expected just an okay, above average dining experience and obviously got more. I was so consumed with my beautiful date and superb dining experience, I even forgot to snap a few photos. But at a place like this, photos would just ruin the experience anyway. \n\nLooking for filet mignon, a great dining experience, and somewhere off the strip...look to Del Frisco's. You won't be disappointed.
