    What a great casual spot for dinner after a show on Broadway . It's conveniently located at Rockefeller Center. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for intimate dinners with plenty of seating surrounded by a casual atmosphere. Our server Jordalys was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable about all the meals and recommended a few things. She was super nice and friendly. Stopped by constantly. She took very good care of us. We got the dry aged steakhouse burger it's an Angus, Chuck and brisket, melted onions, sharp, white cheddar, and mustard, honey aïoli. Mouthwatering just look at the picture! The southern fried chicken sandwich was amazing. Shaved, lettuce, pickles, red onions, spicy truffle, citrus, mayo, and hot honey. Delicious! The Truffled Mac & Cheese with lobster was amazing! And for dessert, we got the warm cookie crumble sundae. It salted pistachio and chocolate chunk, cookies, vanilla, ice cream, chocolate fudge pears with cinnamon Carajillo So if you're at Rockefeller Center and looking for a place to eat, I highly recommend Del Frisco's Grille. And ask for Jordalys!! You won't be disappointed!

    I haven't been to Del Frisco's Grille in years. The experience was good and I enjoyed my meal. The steak could've used a bit more flavor though. The waiter was very attentive and polite. The restaurant was busy but it wasn't noisy. My favorite part of my meal were enjoying the Cheesesteak Egg rolls and the Margarita drink. The wings were also delicious. I'll definitely return to try other options on the menu.

    Went in around 5 on a Friday and we got sat immediately. The service was fine and the food was good. We got the short rib which didn't have much mushrooms which was disappointing the oysters were fresh, the steak was tender and drained and the potatoes were good.

    We had not eaten in a long time that day. We were looking for a quick dinner option. We were in Rockefeller Center and this restaurant was right in front of us. Menu looked good and it had just opened so we sat down here. The bread for the table was really good. The Baked French Onion soup was beyond excellent. Highly recommend. I got the prime rib dip and that was also insanely good and I would 100% recommend it.

    Very dry burger. This should not be served at a restaurant of this caliber.

    Service: 5 stars Ambiance: 5 stars Food: 0 stars (just in MY experience) I had a serious craving for a juicy burger. I usually go to a particular dive bar in Bushwick that makes one of the best burgers I've ever had, but since I wasn't in Brooklyn and happened to be near Del Frisco's at Rockefeller Center, I figured why not give it a try? I sat at the bar and had a great conversation with the bartender, who was friendly, engaging, and attentive. Based on the recommendation, I ordered the dry-aged burger with melted cheese, onions, and arugula, plus a side of fries. I was starving and genuinely excited. Unfortunately, the excitement ended with the first bite. The burger wasn't very appetizing to look at, but I gave it a fair shot. Sadly, I couldn't taste the onions, cheese, or arugula at all. What I did taste was an incredibly dry, flavorless patty. I understand what dry-aged means but this felt mummified. The texture and flavor honestly made it taste ancient, like it had been aged for centuries. The best comparison I can make is cardboard lightly seasoned with beef bouillon. I couldn't finish it. I was extremely disappointed and don't see myself returning for the burger. I'll happily stick with my go-to dive bar in Bushwick, where I get a juicy, flavorful burger for $20 and enjoy every bite. Overall, I'm giving Del Frisco's 3 stars because the service and ambiance were truly excellent. If I were rating the food alone, based on this experience, it would unfortunately be a zero.

    VIP is where it's at!!!

    Ambiance: reminds me of old school Hollywood bar that you would see in the movies. Very grand and fun busy vibe. Service: we were at the bar and had awesome service. Food: we came for the VIP cocktail which is legendary!!! I had to have 2. This was on our way to dinner. Definitely stop in and get this VIP cocktail...pineapple martini!!!!!

    Anil our waiter was a delight. He went above and beyond when it came to our orders. He suggested some nice specials and drinks for us to try. We decided to go with the crab cake and 10oz filet mignon cooked medium along side a bed of crispy Brussels sprouts. We had the pistachio with cookie crumbs and vanilla ice cream! We need to come here more often. Thank you for the Theatr app suggestion too, Anil!

    $25 IT Girl Dinner
    Dilenia A.

    Went yesterday afterwork and a long stressful week and try this IT girl dinner and was a bit disappointed because the pasta was lukewarm at its best, the truffle fries, you can tell they were reheated, the caesar salad was good, for $25, you couldn't go wrong, just don't go expecting it to be nice and warm, as for the drink, I took the espresso martini and that was good. The bartender that took our order was obnoxious, when we placed our order, he wouldn't put the order in if we didn't give him a card and he was so rude and obnoxious about it, he made it seem like we were going to runaway. The ladies that were sitting next to me, we engaged in conversation about his obnoxiousness.

    Steakhouse Salad
    Kristin A.

    Came for a work lunch on a slow Monday due to the holiday weekend. Asked to be seated at a more quiet table so they sat us at the large round booth closest to the bathrooms. While it was quiet, service definitely suffered as a result. Felt like our server forgot us back there and we had to flag down help from other servers and runners multiple times. We shared a few apps to start. Calamari was good - had a nice kick to it. I was not a fan cheesesteak rolls - very heavy. The tuna tartare tacos were average. For my main I had the steakhouse salad. Very tasty and filling - good amount of steak for the pricetag. The dressing it comes with is very thick. I got it on the side and barely used any of it. Also got a couple desserts. The lemon cake was a huge slice and just average. The Nutella bread pudding didn't taste Nutella at all. Was also harder than a traditional bread pudding. wasn't bad - just tasted more like a dark chocolate brookie vs bread pudding.

    Femme fatale = excellent
    Caroline F.

    Well the bar was hopping and filet mignon was absolutely delish! Drinks were on point (get the femme fatale). Where they lose points was service (servers mixed up a couple items and got notably short with us after we pointed it out). Would also pass on the Caesar salad and desserts.

    Girl dinner

    Went for the "Girl dinner " and it didn't disappoint! One of the best dirty martinis I've had in quite some time. I'd definitely return!

    Loaded baked potato
    Tamika G.

    Dinner before a show is such a vibe in NYC. Especially when you dine not to far from your theatre. We came to Del Frisco's expecting to be wowed however the food and service was just ok. The hosts were friendly, the waiter was knowledgeable but each moved like they were on autopilot. We ordered apps (lump crab cake and cesear salad) the salad was fresh crisp and the right amount of dressing. The crab cake was delightful, the sauce they paired it with was chef kiss! I wished they added a little corn slaw.. Our ribeyes were cooked to tempature and seasoned to perfection, flavor in every bite. The sides were just that..sides we could do without. The mac and cheese was salty, lobster chewy, and cheese sauce watery. The mash potatoes were ok and the loaded bake potato was meh. The atomephere was very buissness casual and the resturant packs up quickly after 5.

    We got a reservation and told them our name and they sat us right down without a wait. We sat down at our table and was amazed at the view! You could see the trees and buildings all lit up which also tells you how beautiful nyc is around Christmas time. The waiter was very attentive and walked over to us right away!!! We ordered our drinks and they came out in a snap of a finger!!! They also served us bread that was sweet but very good . ( we didn't order it ) we got our food in 5-10 minutes, and in a place that busy, it was faster than ever . We happily ate and shared our dinners. Best place to eat in nyc by faaarrrr. It is fancy , too 5 stars all the way, no complaints here Also we forgot to take pics before we ate. I'm sorry but just know it looked a lot nicer before we dug in

    Ask the Community - Del Frisco's Grille

    What percent is the gratuity?

    In the US, generally one would leave 20% gratuity but that is at your discretion. You may certainly leave more if you had exceptional service and adjust downward if you didn't have great service.… 

    Is there window seating overlooking the Christmas tree?

    You look right out to the skating rink, so I'm sure the tree is visible from some of the window seats.

    Do you need reservations for this place?

    No. Reservations are recommend but there is seating at the bar and tables are around the bar.

Both failed epically. The bone marrow was inedible as it was like cold custard. Escargot had zero flavor and a real lack of garlic and good butter. Tasted more like vegetable oil than good butter. We shared the lobster pasta entree. Tasted more like Mexican goulash. No Italian flavors to be found in the sauce. Never once did the nameless waiter stop and inquire about our meal. Just all around a poor experience and a disappointing Friday night. There are far better places that appreciate your patronage. We will not be coming back. Not worth it.

Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

The buttermilk tenders is supposed to come with pickled shallots and marinated green beans. We didn't get the pickled shallots or the marinated green beans, which was a shame. The chicken tenders by themselves didn't have much flavor. It also is unfortunate paying $17 for what was considered a small plate and just getting the chicken tenders. The Asian-sesame wings were okay. Also, didn't have much flavor and weren't that impressive. There was also still hair on some of the pieces of chicken, so the chicken could have been cleaned better. They have fries and hand cut fries. The regular fries were soggy. Should have went with the hand cut fries. The tater tots were okay. I was told that the chicken sandwich was good.

I arrived in 2008 with very little, and when Graydon Carter revived the restaurant in 2009, I was beginning a rise of my own, first at a large global bank and then, to my astonishment, at one of the city's most powerful investment firms. The suits were daily, the walls were gold, and the pressure was so consuming that even success could feel like a form of attrition. After a few years, I moved to a smaller firm with Southern roots, where the culture was more humane, the work gave me greater autonomy, and I produced some of the strongest results of my career, even within an industry still governed by fear, greed, and status. Inside, the red booths, low lighting, generous spacing, and hand-painted monkey murals made lunch feel ceremonial without becoming stiff. The room was timeless and handsome, with polished service, quality food, and the subtle assurance of a place where you could be proud to bring someone important. I especially remember sitting in one of those booths with two mentors, each only a few years older than I was and therefore close enough in vintage to feel relatable, trustworthy, and genuinely within reach. One had entered my life after I left the larger firm and helped me understand an earlier chapter that had also ended abruptly and, at the time, felt deeply unfair; the other had guided me through the smaller firm where I finally found a more sustainable way to work. Over that long lunch, I introduced them, we discussed several promising ideas, and for a moment my career seemed to have reached the point where relationships, experience, and opportunity were finally converging. One of those ideas consumed an extraordinary amount of my time and energy, and I believed it might become the foundation of my next chapter. Instead, the arrangement eventually turned on me, the role I thought I had earned never materialized, and the business itself sputtered. My professional life, financial footing, and pride all collapsed just as COVID was beginning. Then Monkey Bar closed in 2020, which made the ending feel almost unnervingly complete: the restaurant, the city, and the version of myself built around New York finance all went dark at once. For years, I experienced that ending as devastating and unfair; now I can see it as wisdom delivered through an unnecessarily rough process. The restaurant's later revival by a Chicago hospitality group feels fitting because it still honors tradition and ceremony while allowing the old forms to evolve into something healthier, looser, and more current. I have not been back since that lunch, but a return now would feel like visiting the museum of my past, not reclaiming a life that asked too much, gave too little, and finally lost its hold on me. Even now, I remember Monkey Bar as a great Midtown lunch in a memorable room, surrounded by the residue of old ambitions and the gratitude of having survived them. The cocktails were sharp, the service was impeccable, and the dining room carried that glamorous old New York energy without feeling trapped by it. I remain deeply fond of the place, partly for what it was and partly for what it witnessed. Some restaurants become attached to a chapter of your life, and Monkey Bar holds mine with unusual grace.

If you have a palate that prefers 100% Chinese food, proceed with caution on this dish. Friends ordered sides of mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. These are dishes originally meant for low-income Americans to fill up on cheaply; there's no limit to how good they can be, but also no floor to how bad they can get. Both were on par with the average quality found in upscale restaurants. Honestly, these are two dishes I would never order myself. To sum up: the atmosphere was great. It's also hard to get a reservation; the place was packed when we had lunch at 2 PM. Aside from that monkey bread, I didn't feel like anything else justified the price or offered something you couldn't find elsewhere. I don't quite get the hype. Perhaps I just didn't order the right dishes; maybe next time I'll try the burger and the steak.

    There's two ways to enter this restaurant. They do in fact have a main door facing 53rd street. If…read moreyou're already inside MoMA, there's a separate door by security. They have to let you in. I didn't have a reservation, but was seated immediately. Win! I really should've asked questions instead of going rogue. My intention was to do the lunch prix fixe menu. The menu on the table was a la carte. This did however work out better for me as I had limited time since I was catching a broadway show. Started with the olives then followed with the hot dogs and closed with the gem lettuce. They did come at different times. This gave me the perfect time to nibble slowly. The olives paired perfectly with the salad. The hot dogs were my favorite. The whole meal was perfectly balanced for me. Just have to mention how amazing the service was. No table had anything waiting to be taken away because there was always someone walking around. At one point, one of the guys clocked I had just finished drinking my water and within seconds he was at my table refilling my glass. I mean c'mon. Will took great care of me. He even suggested the dessert I ended up getting which was the peach cruller. I'm gonna try to come back to do the lunch tasting before I go back home to LA.

    Came here during restaurant week. 3 courses for $60. The bread you get at the start was quite nice…read more And the standout for me was the steak tartare. Bursting with flavor and the potatoes made for a nice variation of textures. Salmon with endive salad was also great. Salmon skin was cooked perfectly. Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the corn gelato. Just didn't taste like much and the peaches I found didn't really play well with the dish for me. Overall though, service was top notch and you can't beat the upscale vibe. Would definitely recommend this for restaurant week experiences if you're looking to get a fine dining taste at a reduced cost. Portions felt reasonable for the quality and left full (far from bursting, but definitely not hungry at all).

    Quality Bistro delivered a wonderful dining experience from start to finish. The restaurant is…read moreelegant, beautifully designed, and has a lively atmosphere that's perfect for a date night, celebration, or a nice dinner in the city. The service was exceptional. The hostess was welcoming, our waitress was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and the support staff kept everything running smoothly throughout the evening. We took several of our server's recommendations and were happy with every one. What we ordered: * Butter Service Garni * Dressed Big Rock Oysters * Yellowtail Crudo * Filet Mignon with Pommes Purée * Nutella Opéra Cake Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly, the pommes purée were rich and incredibly smooth, and the Nutella Opéra Cake was the perfect way to end the meal. The only thing I'd mention is that the restrooms are located down a fairly long flight of stairs. If you're wearing heels, have a stroller, or have mobility limitations, it's something to be aware of. Overall, this was a fantastic experience with excellent food, attentive service, and a beautiful atmosphere. I'd gladly return and would recommend Quality Bistro to anyone looking for an upscale French dining experience.

We started with the kale salad (although it seemed more like spinach than kale), and it was still fresh and delicious. The tomato burrata was outstanding--definitely a must-order! I had the steak frites, which was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the French onion burger, and after trying a bite, I already know that's what I'll be ordering next time--it was incredible! The cocktails were made perfectly, and to finish, we shared the lemon ice cream cake. It was light, refreshing, and not overly sweet--the perfect ending to a great meal. Everything from the food to the drinks and exceptional service made this a wonderful dining experience. We had such a great time and can't wait to come back. Highly recommend!

    Bartley Dunnes! The employees here showed us love and a great time! My cousin and I came here after…read morea small concert up the street. Thanks to my fellow Yelpers, I was lead to this great spot for a late dinner and cocktails on a Friday night. The hostess was really friendly and quicky sat us at a two seater near the bar, which we appreciated. The ambiance was light and friendly and they even had a DJ playing all the good jams! I think I danced a bit, (definitely liquid courage). The DJ read the room and created a fun ambiance. The waitress came over a few minutes later and quickly took our drink and meal order. We ordered the Tuna Crispy Rice ( Yum), Guinness Wager Sliders (Nom Nom), Korean Chicken Boas (My Favorite!) and Carnitas Tacos.....I'm embarrassed to admit that we cleaned our plates like a couple of savages. Bartley Dunnes is a great choice to come solo, meet up with friends or come as a group of no more than 4, unless you make a reservation. They have a second floor that I unfortunately didn't get a chance to check out, so I can't write about that. However, I did see people coming and going straight up. I'll be back!

They have a great happy hour running from open until 8 PM, including $6 beers and $8 cocktails, which is a great deal for the area. ordered the Bartleys Spritz (Aperol Spritz) and a Tequila Mule. We sat at the bar, which runs about half the length of the space, and there were also plenty of tables throughout. The back section of the bar feels a bit separated from the main entrance area. There are some TVs throughout, and everything inside seemed fairly new and well maintained. It was not very crowded on a Tuesday early evening, so service was quick and the staff was very friendly. We did not order food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled great. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot for happy hour drinks in the MoMA/Midtown West area.
