    RIBEYE STEAK (12 TO 14 OZ.)
    Tamika W.

    I visited Del Frisco's to celebrate my birthday and was really looking forward to the experience. The service was truly excellent. Our servers were friendly, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of the entire time. I ordered the ribeye steak, which was just okay. But not quite as flavorful or memorable as I had hoped. My friend ordered the fried shrimp and unfortunately as shrimp lovers, we weren't fans of that dish at all. The Caesar salad dressing is made in-house, which I usually appreciate, but it had a very oily taste and didn't quite hit the mark for anyone at our table. On a brighter note, the strawberry lemon drop cocktail was really good! All in all everyone at my table felt the same: The service and drinks were great, but the food could use some improvement.

    Outstanding food Outstanding service Outstanding ambiance Del Friscos's NEVER fails to deliver top quality

    Imitation lobster?

    We have been to multiple times ti Del Frisco's (DF) in Philadelphia and it was spectacular. So sad that this Louisville location can't compare. The meal tasted just better than a cafeteria. We happened to have eaten ate at Capitol Grille (GH) the night prior and Del Frisco's was such a let down. We thought it would be at par or better. The bread was old and stale and seemed straight off a grocery store shelves vs fresh. The difference of the CG lobster bisque to the DF version was night and day. Del Frisco's bisque is imitation lobster at best - seems unethical to claim it as lobster. The bisque was better but ruined by the lack of actual lobster. The New York steak was the best of the options our party was served. Del Frisco's Trio and the Filet Mignon 8-10oz werr so smothered in butter you couldn't taste the flavor of the meat. The steak knives were delivered after the meal arrived and all just seemed rushed and dumped vs served. Had to ask for knives, fresh ground pepper, etc. The wine list was adequate and the Strawberry Lemongrass Cosmo tasted like watered down cough syrup, so had to let that sit. Caesar Salad tasted like all oil vs anything else. Creme Brulee had nice berries on it, not much flavor otherwise and crust was too think. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was non existent when you are seated in the back corner of the back room even with a reservation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Doesn't live up to the price point paid at almost $150/person. Potatoes Au Gratin, good. Nothing was really worth a photo. Staff was nice enough.

    The food was ok, don't get the oysters... they are large and not on a shell, so really hard to eat. The crab cakes were really great. The service wasn't great, but we were there a day after the derby.... They gave us a free dessert to make up for it, so points for that. The atmosphere was nice - a typical low light steakhouse. We went back for a second night since our hotel was close.... And it was amazing. Great food, service, everything!!

    Del frisco's is a high end and very nice steak house in the east end community of louisville Kentucky. My wife birthday was last week and me and her made it a goal a year or so ago that on our birthdays and special occasions we was going to try a new fancy reputable steakhouse in our area. So del friscos was up next on our list. We weee able to call early in the morning and get a same day reservation right at 5pm opening. The interior is very intimate with very low lighting and modern decor. We started off with a calamari appetizer. While waiting for our app they offer up there complimentary bread which is phenomenal. Very fresh and great flavor. I'd say top 5 Dinner roll/bread I've had before. The calamari came out and it had a nice flavor. Very crispy and the marinara was a classic taste. A lot of places overthink calamari sauce when sometimes old fashioned marinara does the trick. For our entrees I got the ribeye and my wife got the New York strip. Both steaks came out cooked the way ordered. Which is always a plus. My ribeye was very tender and had a nice flavor. The topping had like a garlic buttery sauce on top which was a unique twist for a ribeye. My wife new York strip she said was phenomenal. I tried a bite and she was right. Very tender with a nice crisp. I actually enjoyed it more than my ribeye and I'm usually always a ribeye person. Our our service was top notch. My wife received a complimentary birthday cake which was a good size and easily fed us both. Very nice free birthday treat. I did get an after dinner cocktail callers grasshopper which is a mint chocolate alcoholic drink. For those who love mint chocolate (guilty) this is a great drink. Was very satisfied with it. Overall a very good and enjoyable birthday dinner. Good service, great bread, good calamari, very good steaks and some tasty treats. That's how you celebrate a birthday if you ask me.

    Broccoli Au Gratin
    Lorie L.

    To celebrate a big win professionally, my husband treated me to a family dinner at Del Frisco's. We had reservations for 4 on Friday evening and were seated right away upon arrival. From beginning to end the service was stellar. It's clear the employees work as a team and strive to provide an incredible dining experience. Atmosphere-wise, Del Frisco's - even with a move to a new location - feels old school, but not in an upscale "classic" way. Instead it reminded me of the downtown hotels before their renovation. It's dimly lit with dark wooden decor and minimal decor. We were tucked into the back of the restaurant where I looked at a wall for the evening. Very boring and I found myself wishing we'd picked another steakhouse for atmosphere alone. The meal was enjoyable; however, the only thing we've all talked about since the dinner was the complimentary bread. We ate a lot of that! Three of us got tossed salads and while the portion was plentiful, each of us had browning lettuce mixed in the bowl. Of the 4 sides we enjoyed the onion rings but left the steak fries, asparagus and broccoli au gratin sitting. The broccoli was extremely peppery and none of us would eat more than the first bite. Each of us got different cuts of steaks. My choice was the filet mignon medallions which came with a choice of 3 add on butters. I ordered it medium well which was still fairly pink and made me thankful I didn't request medium. Each medallion was 4 Oz and very soft texture-wise. All of our plates were very hot and the steaks were sitting it a large amount of butter/oil. After awhile that became unappetizing. If ordering again I'd choose a thicker cut of steak to combat the ratio of butter to meat. Overwhelming. We ended with a slice of NY cheesecake because my kids hadn't eaten it before. Decent portion. Overall we enjoyed our time as a family (about a 2 hr meal), but I think it's safe to say we weren't impressed enough to return or recommend.

    Crab cakes
    Yiesha B.

    Went to Kentucky for a concert and we ate here for dinner... The BEST thing we had was the loaded baked potato. The crab cakes had absolutely no crab in it. It was just cake and the steak was ok. We ate at the bar and the waitress apologized and said that they had new staff but our overall experience food wise was disappointing. This restaurant was suggested by the lady at the front desk of our hotel so we thought we'd try it. The ambiance is nice but again if you're looking for a decent steak and appetizer I would not suggest this place. Really wanted to like it but the presentation, wine and food is a hard pass....

    TOURNEDOS DEL FRISCO'S
    Logan S.

    The service was on point, waiter was polite and friendly. The reason for the 3 stars is because of the Lobster Bisque, it was served with imitation crab meat. It was spicy and tasted like something I would get a Costco. I really enjoy bisque and get it almost everytime I'm at a restaurant, I was hoping for something closer to what Ruby's serves. The Tournedos was very tasty, the filet were all good cuts off beef. The potatoes were fluffy and the burgundy sauce was delicious. I'd like to give Del Frisco's another shot and try other menu items.

The American breakfast had large potato pieces, good sausage, and made to order eggs. Hot coffee was on the better side for hotel coffee. Dinner: they were super accommodating, as we were traveling with a friend with an infant. I called ahead to let them know we would come in with a stroller, and they made sure to sit us in an area where the stroller was not in the way of servers or other guests. Our server was one of the most attentive people I have ever met, and every recommendation they gave was fantastic. We started with the oyster rockefellar and the spicy tuna tartare. The oysters were massive and the tuna dish was so good, we got it a second time later in the weekend. We all got steaks for our mains and added a lobster tail - there was a mix up with the lobster tail taking a bit and they ended up bringing out the largest lobster tail to make up for it. All steaks, their sides, and sauces were fantastic- better than most I have had in the DC area. The food was all rich so under order or share amongst friends. Cocktails were of course fantastic, from espresso martinis to the famous smoked old fashions. We had drinks at the bar another night and the service was just as good, though they did tell us that they didn't serve the drink in a smoke box when we certainly had one just a night before.

They offer valet parking for $14, but street parking was easy to find and just a short walk away. We started with the Caesar salad and the wedge salad. Both were good, although the wedge had a bit too much dressing for my taste. I ordered the filet with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and mushrooms. The filet was excellent, and while I'm not usually a mushroom person, these were truly outstanding. The bread was also some of the best I've ever had. I also ordered one of the mocktails, which I enjoyed because it wasn't overly sweet. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the service. Our waiter was efficient, but he wasn't particularly friendly, and the entire meal felt rushed. Several times, someone tried to clear my plate while I was still eating. We also had to ask for more time more than once before ordering because we felt pressured to make decisions quickly. With a bill of over $300, I expected a more relaxed dining experience where we could enjoy the evening at our own pace.

Their claim to fame seems to be 1) Muhammed Ali used to eat there and 2) they wouldn't serve OJ Simpson and kicked him out. Nick was our incredibly friendly and knowledgeable server. I ordered a half dozen oysters, an iceberg blue salad and a Cowboy rare petite filet mignon steak. We also shared a large side of shishito peppers. The oysters were very fresh and spot on, served with horseradish, vinegar, fresh lemon and Tabasco. They weren't fully shucked, so I had to pry them from the shell. My salad never made it to the table. Nick was mortified and offered to make it right with dessert (which I politely declined). The steak was good and was cooked rare, the way I asked. The weird thing was that the rare steak tasted dry - maybe it was the rub, but a rare steak should not taste dry. Almost like it was cooked medium. I told Nick I liked the steak but it might have been the seasoning that made it taste dry. They comped the steak. Outstanding. They earned a star back. Nick knew how to make a customer feel welcomed, special, and appreciated. Definitely worth a visit, but bring a credit card with a high limit. Make sure you have reservations and get them well before your visit. Remember to tip well.

Four of us had an excellent experience for our dinner in Louisville, and besides the food, a lot of that experience was due to our server, Julie. She was great, super friendly and professional, and expertly answered a ton of Bourbon-related questions from my Bourbon loving friend. My wife and I dove into the Southern theme and had a Pulled Pork Sandwich ($16), Southern Colada ($16), Fried Green Tomatoes ($10), and a Southern Gumbo ($10) for dinner. I ordered the Fried Gren Tomatoes to share with the table, and they were wonderful - "Five full moon green tomatoes fried in cornmeal and panko, topped with fresh chives and served with Doc's Remoulade". They were light as a feather, most definitely non-greasy and had a great crunch from the panko and cornmeal. My Southern Gumbo (A hearty stew filled with andouille sausage, chicken and vegetables in savory Cajun broth served over rice. Served with cornbread) was excellent. Great flavor, great spice, plenty of sausage and chicken, and excellent accompaniments in the rice and cornbread. And how could I not mention my Southern Colada, with Michter's US*1 Sour Mash, Pineapple Juice & Coconut. It was quite a bit stronger than any Colada I ever had, but I guess that can be expected when you use an 86-proof small batch Kentucky whiskey in your Colada. Of course, I loved it. This was our second visit to Doc Crow. We were there a few days ago as the first stop on our Louisville food tour and enjoyed a delicious bowl of shrimp and grits. The Doc sure treated us well.

This definitely frustrated me since it was clear that I wasn't ready yet. I think she should have done a better job reading my cues to figure out when I am ready to order.

I ordered the chicken because the waiter suggested it... I never order chicken.. but im glad I did, it was delicious! Sort of sweet salty with amazing pieces of bread that had cooked in the sauce. It came with an assortment of dips, and eachbone was intense and changed the flavor profile for each bite. For dessert I ordered the knafau, sure I spelled that wrong. And hoped for that sweet, crunchy top with cheese pull but it wasn't that it was the creamer version and deconstructed. Kinda felt like it was made in a bowl and not made whole. I'd definitely return tho, skipping dessert.

    We came for dinner- group of 6. We had a reservation, but we arrived early, so we went downstairs…read moreto their bar. They have a sweet vault door to get in. There were many seats at the bar as well as couch and chair areas. They also have bathrooms down there. Service was outstanding. We had a bourbon flight and some cocktails. Our server even took group pics for us. He also provided menus so we could be prepared for dinner. When our table was ready, we reconciled our check and headed back upstairs. Upstairs, we had amazing service also. I ordered a cocktail that they had on the downstairs menu, and not the regular menu. It did not faze our server. He said he would figure it out- and he did! After a round of drinks, we stayed with appetizers: meatballs, fritto misto, piatto di frutti di mare and the crab cake. Everything was devoured. I loved the crab cake and the meatballs. The fried calamari was pretty standard and the cold seafood platter was fine- I had an oyster off of it. For dinner, I had the "Pappardelle" : short rib ragu alla bolognese, grano padano, and added two seared scallops. Wow. The pasta is homemade. It was phenomenal. My husband had the "Maiale" : 16oz pork chop, cauliflower puree, chard, stone fruit, bourbon glaze. It was a large portion and cooked perfectly. So good. Our friends had steaks and sides, so I was able to try the Mac and cheese- which did not get congealed! The corn was delicious and the mushrooms were a variety. Of course we had dessert. I asked for cannoli and they had it! They weee not soggy. I had three different favors. I love cannoli. These were really good. We also shared the millionaire's tart and some sort of apple crumble with ice cream. Yum. We had more round of drinks throughout including some fun ones - see the treasure chest video. I would recommend this place. They have a great menu. Drinks were awesome. Service topped everything. They went out of their way for us multiple times. Thanks so much. We can't wait to come back again.

    My hubby and I have an ongoing, unspoken competition: who can find the best steak in Louisville?…read moreThe one spot we always wanted to try closed a few years back, so every new place now has some pretty high expectations to meet -- from meal quality to overall experience to value. Hubby took me to one of the oldest steakhouses in town last fall, and even with three adults, the bill was noticeably lower than what we spent at this establishment. Service here gets a solid 5 stars -- everyone was attentive and personable. Ambience earns a strong 4 stars with a nice vibe that fits the area. The menu itself is intriguing, and every dish we ordered came out at the right temperature and well‑executed. Overall flavor was good. The desserts, however, didn't quite match the caliber we hoped for -- though to be fair, we're not professional food critics, so take that for what it's worth. Not sure yet if we'd return. If we did, it'd probably be with a larger group so we could share the dishes we enjoyed and make the price point feel a little more balanced. That said, the location is perfect for out‑of‑towners staying at the nearby hotels and those hitting the area's higher‑end entertainment spots.
