Visited DC for a conference a couple of weeks ago. We were invited on by two hosts on two separate nights to Del Frisco's. It has become a running joke now with my team that we will always choose Del Frisco's. Night one I had the short rib as my entree. We also ordered the calamari, the bacon, the crab cake and the meatballs for appetizers. All were fantastic. Everyone was genuinely pleased with the food. We had several dessert options but the butter cake was the clear winner. We were seated in the quieter upstairs side and it was nice. The server was having an off night though and it took a while to get drinks out and the check. Night two I shared the scallops and a ribeye with a teammate. The table again ordered the calamari and octopus, but I don't remember the rest of the apps. The entrees were delicious. Butter cake was had once again. The server was incredible. She was attentive, kind, thorough and personable. I wish I'd gotten her name. We were seated in the noisier upstairs side which I liked less. Overall, great experience both nights. read more

Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse - Short Rib - Steakhouses Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Visited here a couple nights ago and sat at the bar. I usually go to Eddie Vs where everything is great no matter the person, food or where you sit. Service was good but seemed like I got the bare minimum and others got exceptional service but that's another story. I ordered a ribeye medium well and as you can see in the pictures it isn't. I cooked it when I got home because I was ready to go. Overall the steak was good and still tender once I cooked it again. I also ordered lobster mac & cheese and mashed potatoes to go. The lobster mac & cheese was good, but the mashed potatoes were not, so basic. My lemon drop was the best thing I had that night. I plan to visit again and sit at a table maybe I'll get exceptional service like others. read more

This place has definitely gotten better since my last visit. From the service to the food, to the ambiance everything was perfect. I got the seafood platter special which came with lobster, scallops, shrimp, and crab fried rice. Everything was perfect. The butter cake with vanilla ice cream is to die for and the steak is always cooked to my husbands liking. And my new favorite appetizer is the thick cut bacon! It's exceptional! A Must Try! Our waiter was great and made sure to be both attentive and kind. Of course it's pricy but it's to be expected. I parked across the street but they do have valet parking for a fee. The location is in a perfect shopping area so fellas get your wallets ready lol. read more

Dined here for my friend's birthday. We had reservations for 7:30 on Sunday night. First time dining here and I heard really good things about Del Frisco's so I was excited. I don't know if it was because it was close to closing time or because it was a Sunday night but the vibes were a little weird. We ordered drinks and were carded (not complaining, whatsoever). 2 out of the 3 IDs were vertical and our server asked if we have horizontal IDs which we did not. She said she would be back and that she needs to verify them but didn't take our IDs or anything. About 10-15 minutes go by and she returns with our drinks but the interaction was just a bit off.. We ordered appetizers afterwards which were the wagyu meatballs & the calamari. Both were pretty good, but it was just the little things that threw us off while being at a fine dining restaurant- no small plates so that we could eat our appetizers, bread taking over 20 minutes when being told it was coming out soon, and the ID situation at this point. It wasn't until 8:45 or so when we were finally able to order our entrees which was pretty late considering our reservation was at 7:30 & the restaurant closes at 9. Food was good but wasn't anything crazy memorable for me to come back to be honest. Especially with the small details that really make a dining experience worthwhile and worth your coin. read more

I have more often than not been disappointed by my experiences here. By and large, the food is average at best, and the service and hospitality are often remedial, so I would strongly suggest other venues downtown or within City Center. Most recently, we waited almost 45 minutes for a table even with a reservation. The service was slow in every respect, and the food had a lot of room for improvement in presentation and quality. The Dynamite Shrimp was mild at best and looked like it was plated on top of a foodservice salad mix. I might recommend the crab cakes, salmon, or surf and turf trio. The sides are nothing to write home about and even the lobster mac and cheese is average. More often than not, I've received side dishes that were lukewarm at best. I think this location is more convenient and/or reliable as a lunch destination than dinner. However, they would be well served to make serious improvements to overall management, quality, and service. read more

I went to Del Frisco's on Sunday because there was an art show nearby and me and one of my girlfriends wanted to meet and chit chat before we went to the show. I had not been to Del Frisco's in a few years, actually since the pandemic and not a lot had changed. Of course the Ambiance is always beautiful and it's always super clean and dainty. But I have to admit that the customer service is not that great and it never has been any of the times that I visited unfortunately. Our service/bartender was not at all attentive. It took me about 20 minutes to get soy sauce for the sushi I ordered. Once my club soda was finished I was not automatically refilled nor was I asked if I wanted another glass. I then ordered a ginger beer and that took a while to get as well. We sat for a while after we had appetizers and we chit-chatted. My girlfriend paid the first bill so I guess the bartender assumed that we were done. But we have been sitting there for over 40 minutes after paying the first bill so in that time the server should have asked if we wanted something else. But he failed to do so. It kind of seen that maybe he was new or overwhelmed. Which I can understand because I'm in the industry. But the bar was never overwhelmingly full because it's not that many seats. So they're kind of was no excuses. Eventually I got his attention and ordered the crab cake entree and a side of mashed potatoes. During the course of our visit we both said Thank you to him at least six or seven times, and not one time did he acknowledge that with your welcome or a smile or anything. He was not rude to us but he was also not very welcoming. He more so fit the mold of a less high-end or fine dining establishment to say the least. Overall the food was good so I don't want to complain too much! I just wish that we had a better server. And even though I was not highly satisfied I still tipped over 18% because that's just what I do and I would have felt awful leaving crappy tip but honestly he did not deserve it. My girlfriend felt the same way but she still tipped him accordingly. As for the food itself, the sushi was Super Fresh but it was very Bland so it definitely needed soy sauce and which I had to weigh over 20 minutes for that. The crab cakes were pretty tasty as were the mashed potatoes! So I absolutely have no complaints about the food. I think when you look at price points of restaurants, and also the area in which you choose to spend your time and dine, Customer service should be top priority! Food was great tho. read more

Eros provided one of the most impressive dining experiences I have had in a long time. From the moment we sat down, his attention to detail and genuine engagement set the tone for the entire evening. He is intelligent, thoughtful, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. Every recommendation was precise and clearly explained. It was obvious he understands the food, the preparation, and how to guide guests through the experience in a way that elevates the meal. What stood out most was his demeanor. His warmth, patience, and natural kindness make you feel comfortable immediately. He listens carefully, anticipates what you may need, and manages the table with calm confidence. That level of attentiveness enhances the entire dining experience and allows the quality of the food to shine even more. Service like this reflects someone who takes real pride in what he does and who understands that hospitality requires judgment, awareness, and professionalism. The entire evening felt relaxed, polished, and well managed. The restaurant itself was exceptional. The room was spotless. The pacing of the evening was perfect. Everything about the experience reflected a high standard. Eros sets the bar for what excellent service should be. If you are fortunate enough to be seated at his table, the experience will be better because of it. We will see you soon, read more

The food was delicious. I had a medium rare filet mignon which was very tender and flavorful. I married that with some fresh asparagus to round out the entree. The bread brought out prior to our entree was warm, tasty and comforting on a windy cold day. I completely enjoyed eating my meal at a cozy table by the window. The restaurant is lively with patrons and clean, with a warm cozy ambiance. The service was quick and our waiter was attentive wrapping up our leftovers and giving us another round of the delicious bread to take with us. I would have taken more pictures but we ate everything!!! read more

This was great! Food was absolutely delicious. I had tuna with truffle fries. Ambience was great. Our server was professional and warm, while being unobtrusive. He was really running; he had several tables and I felt bad for him, but he stayed on top of it all. I took off one star-- We had a reservation for 6:30. We called about ten minutes before that to let them know we were running late. Arrived at 6:45 and they said "Give us five minutes to get your table ready." So we had to stand there in front of the maitre d stand for several minutes while we waited. I'm not sure if whoever answered the phone didn't convey the message to the host, so they had given our table away by the time we arrived? At any rate, it was awkward. Other than that, the night was perfect. read more

After a long series of not-so-great steak houses in Silicon Valley, Del Frisco's in Washington, DC set the bar with fantastic food, excellent service, and enough space between tables that I didn't hear any of the conversations around me. I started with the Burrata and heirloom tomato salad - definitely one of the best I've had. Then I had the King Crab Rainbow Roll. Great fresh crab taste. I followed up with "bacon", which was very good but not exceptional, and then had 3oz of the A5 Wagyu steak, which was so good it was just dreamy. I'd travel across the US again just to have more Wagya - it was that good! I finished off with berries and cream, which I leveled up by adding some white chocolate sauce from my wife's beignets. Del Frisco's is now on my All Time Favorites list. Don't miss it! read more

One of my favorite steakhouses. They have a number of great steak options with several enhancement options available. They participate in Summer Restaurant Week with many delicious options available every year. Service is decent but the ambiance is beautiful. Seating options are available inside the two level building as well as outside on the patio facing the beautiful city center shops and decor. read more

Atmosphere is cool for a steakhouse. The ambience is great for a dinner or even lunch date. Clean and the host station is always professional and personable. I've been here several times although I don't live in DC mainly because I do enjoy the food and the cocktails. Waiter service can be hit or miss. I've had great service when sitting at the bar but sitting at a table a I was last night (Friday night) was lacking. I had to ask 3 passing servers to please send a waiter to our table. Don't understand why it took so long to even be acknowledged. Three tables were sat AFTER us in close proximity and they all received bread baskets and water before we did. At this time, I can't recommend dining room 'service' but sit at the bar (upstairs especially) and get well taken care of! read more

The good: Our server was very nice and attentive. It was easy to just go in and have a table with no wait. It was close to our hotel. The meals came out hot/warm and didn't take long to be served. I'd say the calamari was probably the best part of the entire meal. We devoured it. The other dishes left us hoping for more flavor in a way. The rolls looked amazing but were also lacking a bit, I did however dip it in the calamari juices. The restaurant is clean, the design is sleek and leaves the room feeling open and not crowded at all. You have a view of the bar the entire time and these big beautiful windows that let you do some people watching. read more

The food, service and ambiance were good. Ron was the waiter and was friendly and attentive. He checked on the table frequently and was very familiar with the menu. He was excited to offer the Butter Cake. It seemed to be their signature dessert. Everything was pretty good. However, I ordered the steak medium rare and it came out well done. The scallops and Fried Lobster was the best selections. I thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance. I love eating outside and watching people shop and the kids playing in the Fountain brought me joy. read more

The mushrooms were super good and very flavorful. The sea bass was pretty okay but was a little dry, and definitely needed the black bean garlic sauce in order to get flavor for the fish. I did really like the crab fried rice accompaniment. The service team could have definitely communicated more. Our waiter was very friendly but, unfortunately he left for an extended period of time to the point where all three of his tables were wondering where he went. There wasn't a replacement available to cover the tables so unfortunately we waited 20+ minutes to receive the bill. The manager did eventually speak to all three tables offering his apologies. Not sure if I will dine here on another packed Saturday evening. read more

This wasn't my first time eating at Del Frisco's so I've had better but this was just ok. The Orlando location really blew my socks off so I thought this would be a great place for my birthday dinner in DC because we don't have one in Charleston. The lump crab meat appetizer was skimpy and bland. Tasted like it came straight out of the can! The steak trio presentation was messy. The steak bled out on the plate and no one bothered to clean it up before serving it. The service was great but I wish I would've chosen a better restaurant. read more

I came here for dessert for my birthday and got butter cake and appetizers (mussels and steak tartare). Everything was great. The steak tartare came with homemade chips that were excellent. Next time I would probably opt out of the caramel for the butter cake, but it was still really good. I also got a strawberry margarita that cost $20 and it was not worth the price. Maybe it was my fault for getting a margarita at a steakhouse. read more

Visited recently for my second visit, to confirm the first horrible visit wasn't a fluke. Went in mid afternoon 3ish and the place was virtually empty, maybe 4 tables with no more than two people each. Ordered a burger as it was close to lunch, the burger came out so overcooked it was literally crumbling, brought this to the attention of the server and was told, I didn't cook the burger, awesome. Asked to see the manager because at this point, no longer interested in dining here. The manager was on a conference call and unwilling to come down to hear the feedback, at that point I was ready to leave still hungry and not accepting the gift card being offered because... this isn't the experience anyone should experience EVER! read more

Ambiance 5/5 Wine 5/5 Calamari 5/5 Meatballs 4/5 have a little spice I absolutely love a great steak and I'm a self proclaimed carnivore expert!!!!! Now my biggest gripe is that I LOVE A RIBEYE STEAK (my fav) and they took it off. WHY???? I want the cap!! Steak was flavorful and cooked medium like I prefer. I had the lobster tail with it. It was descent but small and overcooked 3/5. Will definitely come back. read more

We had a great experience. Our server was very knowledgeable regarding the menu and wine choices. We had a great bottle of wine, split a salad appetizer, the tomahawk and some sides. I wish we would have tried the chef creations on that night. The menu options are always available so if you go, try the chef specials. Yes this place is pricey but it's worth it if you get the right dish. The atmosphere was nice aside for some people at the bar with kids who were sprinting for distance around the bar. I understand though lol. read more

I realized yesterday I've been incorrectly placing all DC steakhouses in the same relative tier. Del Frisco's filet mignon may be the best I've had in my life *and I don't even generally like filet mignon!* Went there yesterday for lunch. My friend got the salmon, and she really enjoyed it. I got the filet mignon and omg. OMG. The seasoning on it was absolutely perfect and the tenderness was butter in my mouth. Hands-down some of the best steak I've ever had, and likely the best filet mignon I've ever had. I'm not normally a filet mignon guy because while the tenderness and texture is usually great it can come at the expense of flavor but not here. Bravo. I want to bring my mom back because filet mignon is her thing. As I side I got mushrooms and it was an excellent pairing. We were offered brioche (?) bread to start and it had this wonderful glaze and I could have eaten that for dessert. Service, lest I forget, was what you would expect: attentive but not intrusive, and unfailingly polite. I had one little wrinkle and that's that they have a business lunch option and it was not offered to us, just the regular menu, but I mentioned that to the manager and he was very receptive. (To be clear, it was merely constructive feedback; I neither asked, nor received, anything in exchange.) This may now be my favorite steakhouse in DC and I can't wait to bring others here. Maybe if I'm extra hungry I'll give their ribeye a try, or if I happen to get a big payday, that wagyu... read more

Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Great venue for all occasions: birthdays, family, and even private rooms for business meetings. They have two floors, 1st has a larger bar (most likely for lunch crowd) and some seating. 2nd floor has two large seating areas with good spacing between tables & a smaller bar. Windows all around 1st and 2nd level so there's always a good view of scenery and people-watching. White table cloth (you're at a steakhouse of course) and low lighting - but not too dim where you can't see the menu. We sat upstairs in the back, as it was my birthday and wanted the best seat/privacy. Night before thanksgiving - it was light but not empty. Service was great - everyone was very friendly and helpful. Took pictures for us and comped our dessert when Sue, our amazing server, overheard. Food is BOMB - some of my favorite steaks have been from del Frisco; however, this was my first time here (I'd been in NYC). Usually get the thick cut bacon - perfect combination flavor; sweet & heat/spiciness. Steak: 16oz Bone-in filet with truffle butter, cooked medium. Barely needed the knife to cut thru - very juicy. I recommend asking for coarse salt (thank me later). Plates are heated so that's always a plus at quality restaurants. Amazing selection of food and wine - something for everyone People dislike or hate on chain-restaurants, but I think the good-quality ones (Nobu, del, Mastro's, etc) get it right. You know what type of food and service you'll receive. Definitely recommend if you're thinking about it. read more

This is an amazing location of Del Frisco's steakhouse. Everything we had was great and I would recommend them all. Note that things are a little pricy so be prepared for that. Also, there is a lunch deal in this location that you can take advantage of for a lunch date without spending too much. We had the crab cake, which was amazing and came with a sauce that really complemented it, but would have loved the portion to be a little bigger. The rib eye steak was sooo nicely made, I had it at medium. And the chef's seafood special had tons of seafood as shown in the picture. Great ambiance and lots of seating space. The staff was also nice and helpful. read more

I've been to other del frisco locations, but this was the first time in DC. From what we saw, the main dining room is on the smaller side and is dominated by a large bar. The bar was quite crowded at 5:30 but it was not overly loud. The starters, steaks and sides, as always, were fantastic. Our meal pacing was a little wonky. My son ordered the lobster bisque, which he really enjoyed, but it came out maybe 3 minutes before the steaks so he didn't get to enjoy it as much as he could have. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive as were the hostesses. Would go back because the food is so good but hope for better pacing. read more

I made reservations for my birthday. I was so excited to go to Del Frisco's because of what my sister told me. It was four of us we ordered 4 appetizers, 4 drinks and everyone ordered a steak my sister and I both ordered Tomahawks, and 6 sides. The only food that was good were the appetizers, everything else was terrible. I've never in my life had a steak that was that bad, poor quality (had a lot of fat) no taste, it wasn't seasoned at all except with the garlic butter. Our bill was $800.25, instead of complaining we asked for boxes and paid the bill and left. I said I would never come here again. That was the worst birthday dinner I ever had. I truly wanted to love my experience but I didn't. read more

Josh is the best bartender! He is very attentive. Overall, amazing customer service, food and drinks.

The food here was pretty good. Lobster mac was great. The bread was amazing and honestly the best thing I ate that night. My ribeye without the bone was ok. The creamed spinach needed more flavor and was very watery (this didnt make it into the reorder club). The calamari was on another level with the chili sauce, peanuts and bean sprouts added...mm mm mm! The chocolate martini was very delicious but be careful what you drink it with if you have a sensitive stomach. We valeted and you will surely want to because it is the closest and quickest parking option on the street. The staff from Valet to doorman to the hostess, servers, backservers, etc were all amazing! The vibe in the restaurant is classy and sexy. Beautiful layout with an elevator to the second floor. read more

Living at CityCenter and loving steak, I was really looking forward to trying this place out. Looking online, the price point is higher than Joe's Stone Crab for steak so I was thinking this place would be amazing. Ultimately, I think this place flat out sucks, even compared to a lower tier chain and I would never return given the horrible experience I had here. ATMOSPHERE: Basic is the best word to describe it. There is nothing fancy about this place other than the absurd prices. The clientele at the bar were not classy which told me a lot. I'm talking tatted up douchebags and women will bikini tops at the bar. One would think this place would have a dress code not allowing such trashy dressed people. It appears they were friends with some of the staff here. Enough said. SERVICE: The service here is absolutely horrific. I walked inside and sat at the bar. It took ten minutes to even get acknowledged by anyone. Two tattooed women showed up well after me and sat next to me and got the bartenders attention before me which really pissed me off. I gave the bartender a little attitude when he finally checked in with me as I was seriously about to up and leave. I ordered a Diet Coke and asked for a menu. The bill was updated but I had to wait quite a while to get my Diet Coke as everyone else after me were served fancy drinks. The bar was dead so there was no need for such a long wait. A group of misfits showed up to order drinks before going to an event upstairs. I went to the bathroom only to come back to a backpack from one of these idiots sitting in my bar stool. Again, the bartenders and clientele here were awful yesterday. My entire time here the service was shit. FOOD: I paid $90 for a 45 day aged Ribeye and the side of Asparagus was around $14. The steak sucked. I asked for medium rare and it came out raw. I even had to ask the bartender what it was only for her to look at the bill to say it was medium rare. I know what the bill would say, but I wanted your opinion. The steak was also very tough and I was unable to even eat some of it. The asparagus was just as tough and had to spit some of it out. Overall, this was one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had in DC, if not the worst. I expected a lot more for the price point and I couldn't wait to get out of here. I even paid the bill as I was still eating knowing I wanted to dip out ASAP. I will never return to this awful excuse of a high end restaurant and wouldn't recommend anyone go. read more

Started off with their Dynamite Shrimp, Crab Cake, and Oyster Casino. For my main only the Ribeye with Gorgonzola Fondue with mushrooms and asparagus. Then I finished with their Butter Cake. The apps were decent, nothing amazing to write home about. The steak on the other hand was great. Tender and juicy and the fondue on top elevated it to a whole different level (a must add on!). The Butter Cake was also very good, but definitely on the sweeter side. The service was great and nice interior. A good steakhouse with great vibes downtown. read more

Del Frisco's is such a hit or miss experience. We live next to the restaurant in City Center and would really like to be able to dine two times in a row without there being a major service mess-up. We had not dined at Del Frisco's in over a year, but we decided to dine there at the downstairs bar one Sunday night in November. We had a fantastic bartender/server, Lew. She made us feel comfortable and our drinks and food orders were perfect. We returned the following week and sat at the upstairs bar. Unfortunately we had a different bartender who messed up our order, and in addition we were overcharged for our drinks. We really would like Del Frisco's to be much more consistent so we know we could go back. read more
