We had an absolutely wonderful dinner tonight at this elegant, upscale restaurant set within a historic landmark. The space is breathtaking--soaring 38-foot sculpted ceilings and a 34-foot wine tower at the center of the bar create a truly luxurious and unforgettable ambiance. The hospitality is just as impressive as the setting. Every member of the staff was professional and attentive, and the managers checked on us throughout the meal to ensure everything was perfect. Our waitress, Ayoola, was exceptional--warm, personable, and genuinely thoughtful. She made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish. We began at the bar with a cocktail called the VIP, which was perfectly balanced--smooth, refreshing, and very easy to enjoy. I didn't even think to take a photo until we were nearly finished--that's always a good sign. The complimentary bread was outstanding--warm, buttery, and perfectly fluffy with a delicate texture. Easily one of the best I've had, and very hard to resist. My husband and I shared three appetizers, two mains, and three sides, and even the sides were generously portioned. It was quite a lot of food, but every dish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. The tuna tartare--with avocado and prawn chips--was incredibly fresh, delicious, and well-seasoned, with a delicate balance that really let the quality of the fish shine. The medium-rare sesame ahi tuna was another standout--perfectly seared, tender, and rich in flavor. It was so good that my husband started digging in before I could even snap a photo. We couldn't even finish all the sides, and by the end, we were completely full and had to skip dessert--but that just gives us a reason to come back. An exceptional dining experience in every way--this is easily a 5-star experience, and one we'll be thinking about long after the meal. read more

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Del Frisco's in Philadelphia. My mother and I were visiting from Washington, DC, and stopped by expecting the level of hospitality this restaurant claims to represent. Instead, we were treated in a way that felt humiliating and discriminatory. We were not allowed to sit or even properly discuss seating with the staff. Rather than treating us like paying guests, the situation escalated quickly and security was brought over to confront us. As two Black customers who were simply trying to dine, the entire interaction felt unnecessary and deeply uncomfortable. No one should be made to feel unwelcome or targeted when walking into a restaurant. The way this was handled left us feeling embarrassed and disrespected. Restaurants at this level should prioritize professionalism, respect, and equal treatment for all guests. I hope management seriously reviews how situations like this are handled so other customers don't have to experience the same treatment. read more

This experience was fabulous. We came for Philly's Restaurant Week and it was such a success. We chose to do the fixed price meal. It started with the honey butter bread which to be honest we weren't expecting. This bread was incredible and we finished it so fast. Both appetizers were delicious. The short rib out performed the crab cakes but there wasn't a single bad thing that we tried. The butter cake was phenomenal. As for service, the staff was friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience dining here. Bonus: go downstairs to use the bathroom to get a peak at the old door to the vault that is still there. read more

We ran late but got treated like queens!! This was my sister's annual birthday dinner and we had a time! The Eagles clinched the East and Jake Paul had his jaw snapped in pieces, so there's that lil bonus! as for the dinner itself: thank you to Chris and the entire staff of folks who helped out with this major dinner night! You could tell there were 4-6 huge parties going on, all the bars open, and every TV in the place showing the eagles win the NFC but everyone was kind and friendly. i wasn't a fan of the gigantic pillar they sat us at seeing there were tables on the ground floor nobody was at, but least it wasn't by the bathroom! as for dinner, we had one small mistake with my sister's meal but we got swarmed by every single staff to fix it. our delightful server rang in a pork chop and not lamb chops and all hell broke loose with the staff. the manager came over, the assistant manager, the bartender hell the guy who does valet came up to check on us. perfectionists much? dinner was outstanding! this being my first time having waygu 'wagg-ewe' as the philly folks call it. cooked to perfection. my sister finally got the lamb chops and she was eating them like it was her last meal...so needless to say also delicious. my bestie got the salmon considering she has an allergy and limited on seafood choices. also cooked to perfect. this was first restaurant i have ever been to that gave us a choice on how to cook all the proteins! everything was moist and well seasoned. we did start little trend--trendsetters if you will-- we ordered tequila lemon drops! that's like the birthday tradition! lemme tell you!!!!! they make them RIGHT! by the time i got to the 3rd one i forgot about my sister not having her meal and so did she! the stand out dishes of the night: the tuna tartare, the chateau mashed, and the tequila lemon drops. just superb. thank you to everyone at del frisco's so a fun experience and amazing meal! read more

We finally decided to stop in here to try, since we usually go to Barclay Prime or Butcher and Singer (both of which are phenomenal places). We started off with the lobster bisque which was actually really delicious. It is usually too salty for me, but Del Frisco had it on the spot. It's rare for me to find a lobster bisque that doesn't desiccate the life out of me after a few spoons. The Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras with Strawberry-Balsamic Glaze, Toasted Brioche & Crispy Onions is amazing. I am typically not too crazy about sweet and savory, but this was a very flavorful combination. The Alaskan King Crab Legs were also delicious. Perfectly slice for you where all you have to do is use the fork and pick it off the shell as if it were a plate. No fingers or messiness involved. The steak and lamb were also prepared well. It is not as flavorful as I was hoping, but that is subjective. Overall, the food is great. It is the service that brings me to give Del Frisco to 4 stars. It is very average service for such high end dining. Our waitress was nice, but also very unprofessional. We felt like we were getting pub service. Her outfit (some fine fishnet stockings with short shorts) and demeanor was just not fitting for a setting like this. We are also not here to have random small talk. Another thing about Del Frisco... Earlier this year, I called a few restaurants to see if they can host a surprise birthday party with a pre-fixed menu and let me say this... Del Frisco's is not the place to go - so I didn't. It was about $80 per person and the pre-fixed appetizer is either a lettuce wedge or a salad. Butcher and Singer on the other hand, you can choose from shrimp cocktail, crab cocktail, crab cake. They were not being very accomodating either. read more

Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse - Cheesesteak dumplings - Steakhouses Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is an upscale steak house, in a dramatic setting in Center City. We sat at the bar to wait for our entire party, and were warmly greeted by the waiter, had a great glass of wine and a drink. The wine list isn't enormous but it's long enough and the choice I had made me quite happy. We had a large-ish party of seven and the table was so large (round) that in the space with the music and high ceilings, conversation across the table is difficult. Also, I was seated near a pillar but the staff crossed behind my chair in a narrow spot constantly, so my chair was frequently bumped. At one point a waitstaff member was leaning on my chairback, chatting with the neighboring table until I glanced at them. I'm funny about getting bumped so this was kind of annoying. The appetizers: I wasn't "wowed" by the cheesesteak dumplings (thought they were a bit overcooked) nor the yellowtail crudo (too small pieces to get a taste of the fish.) Skip those, I'd say. The sides: we shared creamed spinach, lobster mashed potatoes, fries and asparagus. The mashed potatoes were amazing. I didn't care for the spinach but others enjoyed it. The steaks: really good! Medium rare was spot on for everyone who ordered medium rare. The waygyu filets were something else, I sampled my dining partner's. I had a strip steak, bone in (I like a bit of chew in my beef) and it was highly spiced with salt and pepper (steakhouse style, so expected.) I like a bit less of the pepper but I was overall very happy with it. Ambiance: really dramatic. Cost: it's high, but I'd say the beef quality there commands the premium. Service: our waitperson was very attentive, but the passing behind my chair was not good form. I tried to move the chair in a few times, and this was not noticed. Summary: if you want to impress or just celebrate grandly (or know you'll get a great steak) highly recommended. read more

I made an early Christmas Eve / Anniversary dinner reservation for our family of three at Del Frisco's for 4:00 PM, right after I got off work. I was tired but I wanted to celebrate with my family. When we arrived the restaurant was mostly empty, which was expected. Most people don't choose to dine that early but I personally enjoy an early dinner without crowds. Our server, Cameron, was outstanding. He was attentive, had a beautiful smile and was genuinely pleasant throughout the evening. He shared his favorite dishes with us and checked on us consistently. We began with the caviar service, which we were told was $160, though we were billed $175. Despite the discrepancy it was delicious. We also ordered salads, calamari, thick-cut bacon, lobster mac and cheese and a tomahawk steak, everything was prepared perfectly and was delicious. The only hiccup came from management. Because the restaurant was fairly empty at that hour, it was easy to notice everything happening around us. We observed the general manager repeatedly walk past our table while checking on every other table. Initially, I wasn't going to say anything but it bothered me. When he passed by again, I stopped him and asked his name. He said his name was Doug. I asked him if he was there to check on guests' experiences he confirmed that he was and immediately apologized for not checking on us as well. At that point, there wasn't much more to say but .... sometimes it's important to remind businesses to treat all guests equally, regardless of race, gender or perceived perception. Doug appeared a bit flustered as he walked away. Shortly afterward I saw him speak with our server and then with another general manager, Darrell. Darrell promptly came to our table after his conversation with Doug. Darrell introduced himself and asked about our dining experience. For context we have dined at this location many times and even hosted our son's graduation celebration here so we are very familiar with the restaurant and how management typically engages with guests. Doug's lack of attention was the exception, not the norm, but Darrell made a genuine and valiant effort to address and smooth over the situation. Overall, despite the management misstep, we had a great evening and enjoyed our meal and time together. read more

I was blown away at the vast and grand dining room upon entering the restaurant. High ceiling is an understatement. Despite it's size, the space still has an intimate feeling. We sat in the main level. There's also a second level and a lower level. If you don't get seated in the lower level, be sure to go down just to see the vault dining room. Apparently, the building was formerly a bank. We tried the "bacon" appetizer. It was a tasty cut of pork that did not resemble what I know to be bacon. The wedge salad was also good. Our ribeyes were seasoned to perfection, but mine wasn't cooked to the temperature I requested. I just rolled with it though. Service was good all evening. They even threw in a small dessert treat for our anniversary dinner. read more

A few of my friends have told me to check out Double Eagle and now I know why. The restaurant is very nice and super cool at the same time. The service was great and the meal was delish. My only complaint is that it is a little loud in there so it was difficult hearing some of the people in our party. Overall, it was a great dining experience and I plan on going back! read more

It's been a long time since I've been here and surprisingly it hasn't changed much, not even the menu. It's still a beautiful restaurant, with good food and good service. Colin was great, and so was the manager Joel. The VIP was a lil more sweet than I remembered, and I wish they still had the butterscotch cheesecake with the pecan crust, but the steaks and lobster mac were on point. I'll be back--in another year or two lol 10/10 read more

We stopped in for drinks at 4:30 on a Friday. Sat at the bar. Service was fine. Our waitress was very nice. We came from Sky High bar at the Four Seasons which was very fancy. Also sat at the bar at Four Seasons BUT my hubby was asked to take off his hat at Del Friscos, lol. Really? He was allowed to wear it at the Four Seasons. Just odd. Meanwhile I had flip flops on which was, apparently, fine. Appreciate the dress code police but we'll pass next time. read more

Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I've dined at the Del Frisco's in Denver, which was sadly such a vastly better experience than the Philly location. Aside from the cool historic building it's housed in and spiral staircase wine vault, the experience was poor. We checked in and immediately dropped our coats at the coat check. We waited for literally two full minutes for the coat check person to return to give us a tag. During that time, the host was ready to take us back but had to wait for us to receive a tag. Why not just give us a tag as soon as you take our coats from us? The place was LOUD, like a dance club, and the poor acoustics of the place didn't help. I don't understand why someone would want to eat a nice meal where you can barely hear your companion because it sounds like you've gone clubbing. We're then seated at a table literally next to the bathroom (see pic). My partner and I look at each other as if to say, "you've got to be kidding, right?" I asked the host if there was an alternative and she said, "don't worry, it's just for the staff." Confused by the odd response, we sat down and she walked away. Next came this guy who literally threw rolls onto our table as he ran away (the bread bowl spun and wobbled as it finally came to rest, I'm talking THROW). Our drinks (her cocktail and my club soda) didn't come with any lemon wedges or straws. Just glasses of liquid. We ordered the Yellowtail Crudo-- about a half dozen or so of the tiniest, paper thin pieces of fish I've ever seen (each piece hardly more than 1 inch long). For $29.00, I could have gotten 3 times the amount of fresh Yellowtail at a good sushi bar. We almost complained about the paltry amount but just crossed our fingers that the salads and entrees would be better. My partner got the burrata and tomatoes. The tomatoes weren't very fresh-- they were mealy and didn't come with any basil or anything to bring the cheese and tomatoes together. My steak was medium rather than medium rare and her swordfish smelled and tasted fishy. It clearly wasn't fresh and probably a day or so away from being spoiled. She only ate a quarter of it. We ordered a baked potato but asked that it not have all the "loaded" toppings (all we wanted was some butter and maybe sour cream). Apparently they interpreted that as wanting a cooked potato that looks like it had been angrily torn apart by the chef (see pic). The waiter saw this when our food arrived but said nothing. When we called him back to the table, he admitted it didn't look appealing and returned with an intact potato with butter. $16.00 folks. The "best" part of the evening was the line of 9 people waiting outside the customer bathroom (recall we were told the bathroom at our table was for the servers). It felt like I was waiting for a porta-potty at an amusement park (the person exiting the bathroom warned, "it's a mess in there"). With its deafening music and big screen TVs around the bar in full view of the entire dining room, Del Frisco's Philly feels like a high ends sports bar trying to masquerade as a high-end steakhouse. Charging more for your food doesn't make you good. It makes you a poor value. If I'm spending over $300 on a meal, I expect much better food and an ambience and experience worthy of a fine dining establishment. I don't sit next to the lavatories on a plane, let alone a nice restaurant! Philly has too many good restaurants to ever have to come back here-- go elsewhere. read more

Amazing experience. The food was excellent as we expected, however, the service was over the top. Gabe and Jade were over the top professional and personable.

Amazing service - our server was on her game. A younger waitress (maybe mid-20s, if I were guessing), she knew how to explain the menu and make the party feel welcomed. Great overall service! The restaurant itself is beautiful, old, bank/insurance building right in Center City. Dark (probably for purpose), and nice. A large bar for cocktails and socializing. The food was very good, and the prices were fair. It wasn't like they are charging $100 for an 8oz filet, the prices were reasonable for 80% of the the meats/entrees, IMO. The cocktails were a bit expensive, but to be expected. Overall, a very nice place where you can have a nice entree, glass of wine, and a side for ~ $125, pre tip/tax. read more

This is an expense account or special event type restaurant. It's fine, but I'm in no rush to go back

We have been here for our work party for years, we spend a great deal of time and always enjoy. What happened?? Food was ok! Not fantastic as in years before, service wasn't good. Barley got a drink (and usually we have a lot of drinks) Waited and waited! We didn't get a pre ordered appetizer till we were there over and hour and 1/2. The shrimp cocktail was room temp with tails on and shrimp was not deveined! then took 1/2 to get salad and another hour till the very over salted steaks came out. My server never checked on our food, to see if everything was ok, at the end the waiter want to know if I wanted it wrapped I told him it was inedible. He said he would tell his manager, no one ever came to say a thing. Very disappointed read more

Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse - Overcooked and over salted - Steakhouses Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We chose Del Frisco's to celebrate my mother's 65th birthday because this restaurant holds a special place in our hearts, my husband and I were married here 10 years ago, and our family knows how much we've always loved it. Unfortunately, this visit was a major disappointment. Our server, Mara, was inattentive and unaccommodating from the start. The service was so poor that it interrupted our conversation and actually became the main topic of the evening. At one point, the children's entrées were brought out while the table was still full of dirty dishes from the appetizers. Only after I said something to the manager did the server begin to make an effort, but by then the damage was done and our server took the feedback personally. She would look at us from afar and keep walking, so we assumed the manager decided to take over our service. What should have been a special milestone dinner felt more like dining at a casual chain restaurant (think LongHorn Steakhouse) rather than the high-end experience we've come to associate with Del Frisco's. Honestly, we probably would've enjoyed ourselves more there, and at least the bill would've matched the service level. On a night that was meant to honor my mother and revisit a place filled with happy memories, Del Frisco's fell short in every way. We'll remember this dinner, but sadly not for the reasons we hoped. We won't be back. read more

Really enjoyed the ambiance here. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and sat at the bar without issue. Friendly service, great drinks and great food. Loved the vault downstairs. Will be back! read more

I came here tonight and leaving disappointed. Ordered the porterhouse for 2 and there was so much salt on the steak that we couldn't finish it. It's normal to put salt and pepper on the steak but not this much. The desert was creme brulee but in name only. It was pasty and thick not even close to creme brulee. Melting sugar on top don't make creme brulee. I been here before and my last experience was great. I took a bunch of people here for a Christmas party but this time it wasn't even close to being good. The other thing, they put us in the basement level. It's not the same as the main dining area. This place is expensive but my complaint is about the food. For the money I expect excellent food. Someone should taste the food before serving it because if they did they wouldn't be serving it. I'm giving them a 1 star rating because the place is expenssive and the customers deserve better. read more

Warning to anyone considering this place It's been over two years since my visit, and to add insult to injury, the restaurant acted like someone would follow up with me -- but they never did. That lack of accountability speaks louder than words. On the night of my visit, I had a reservation for a special evening with my wife. We showed up on time, but were left waiting 24 minutes while others who arrived later were seated within minutes. The waiting area was filled with confusion and half-hearted apologies. When we were finally seated, our server was distracted, unfriendly, and dismissive. At this price point, I've had far warmer, more professional service at casual spots that cost a fraction of the price. To make things worse, the sampler we ordered included a lobster tail that was rotten -- the smell alone made it inedible. When I politely flagged this to our server, his response was a shrug, "whatever you want," and then he rushed away like we were bothering him. What makes this whole experience even more unacceptable is that I was led to believe someone from the restaurant would follow up. They never did. That tells me they don't value their customers or care to make things right. I've shared this story with at least 25 people already and will continue to warn others until I'm acknowledged. If you're considering this restaurant, think carefully -- my experience was not just disappointing, it was insulting. read more

I came here during restaurant week with my friends. I opted for the $60.00 menu while my more affluent friends indulged. On this special menu I ordered the meatball (I wasn't a huge fan), an 8 OZ Filet, and a desert. My friends ordered a huge seafood tower. I tired the oysters and they were great. I ordered my steak medium. It was amazing. Del Frisco's puts a layer of seasoning on their steaks. At first glance I was like this looks burnt. But at first bite I was like, this is a premium steak. Service was amazing. The place is so large. They have a lot of Realestate. Will come back again to try the regular menu. Oh, I forgot, the table bread is so good. So soft, warm and tasty. (Not sure why this place is a 3.7 on Yelp. It's amazing) read more

The best thing honestly was our server. Young guy from Maryland originally that knew everything about the building. We listened to him for probably 10 minutes point out all the historical architecture within. Sound deafening curtains made by NASA. He also told us about all the movies filmed there. I did not know that Unbreakable was filmed in there. Then came the food. We got oysters, lobster bisque, cheesesteak egg roll pops, peppered bacon and cocktail shrimp for starters. The bacon was the best thing. It was spicy and cooked to perfection. The cheese steak pops were different and awesome. For dinner I got truffle fries and short rib. It did not disappoint. Absolutely delicious. Desert was a butter cake and sorbet. That cake...... geeze. It sure is nice to be a paper salesman. read more

We came to Del friscos on Christmas Eve for an elevated food experience. We ordered the following: 2 16oz rib eyes, 1 sea bass, 1truffle twice baked potato, dynamite shrimp, king crab roll, and the mushrooms. My favorites out of the above was the dynamite shrimp- crispy and a good sauce with a slight kick. The sea bass was also very good. I liked having a fish option instead of steak. The steaks looked cook properly to the requested temperature. Our waiter was personable and did a good job. I took a star away because it was a very good experience, but didn't knock my socks off. Would I go back? Yes absolutely. Would I recommend? For sure. read more

The building!! The architecture is unbelievable, built in 1924, the pillars are huge and beautiful. So much history and the server was so knowledgeable about it all. The food was outstanding. I had a strip and it was cooked perfectly, the sides were delish! Creamed spinach, potatoes au gratin and asparagus were all great. The desserts, I don't know how to describe, between the warm butter cake and the chocolate mousse cake, I wish I would have save more room for dessert but it was all Just too good! read more

Perfection, every time. Ben was amazing! We always enjoy our time at Del Frisco's, the ambiance is unreal.

We decided to come here for the first time during restaurant week, and we weren't impressed. The ambiance inside was nice, and they were able to seat us early, but once the waiter knew we were ordering off the restaurant week set menu, the quality of service changed. Once we made our selections, we really didn't see our waiter anymore. The food was brought, and water was refilled by staff (not our waiter), but it wasn't very welcoming. We only saw our waiter again at the end to get the check. We like using restaurant week to try new spots with the hope of discovering new favorites. Safe to say this place won't be on the list. The food was just alright, pretty on par with a regular steakhouse. read more
