    After my birthday dinner! Look at those beautiful deserts!!
    Alexis B.

    I love this place! Everything is so fresh! The salads are huge, and I highly recommend the black bean soup and the clam chowder! They taste homemade! I always get the filet, and it has always been cooked to my liking. The seasonings they put on their steaks is so good and unique too! The broccoli and potato au gratin is so yummy and cheesy! However, be aware that their sides are meant to share or to take home for leftovers! The deserts are out of this world! My family always chooses a couple to share as we can't pick just one! The creme brûlée, the chocolate cake, the cheesecake, and the pie. The service is also always phenomenal as they are very accommodating and helpful! Del Frisco's is definitely my favorite local steakhouse, and I highly recommend it for special evenings.

    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.

    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. Ambiance was non existent when you are seated in the back corner of the back room even with a reservation. 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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

We arrived at 7:50 PM for an 8 PM reservation. We got cocktails at the bar, a whiskey sour and a Cosmo. Truthfully, we were not really impressed with our drinks. We were then seated around 8:15 PM. I tend to be picky regarding reservation times and honoring them so I was displeased by the wait... to my surprise this restaurant walked away with a 5 star review regardless. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Provided good recommendations that I'm sure improved our overall experience. We ordered the old fashion to share, per our waitresses recommendation and it made up for the pre-dinner cocktails! Delicious! Our appetizers, the burrata and heirloom tomatoes & stracciatella, were a good start! Good flavor and light enough for the starter. However, the French onion gratinee stole the show. Presentation was beautiful and flavor was on point for a classic French onion soup. I ordered the belly-on pork tomahawk and was very pleased with the tenderness and flavor, especially when I asked it to be cooked more medium well. My husband got the 22oz dry aged ribeye, the repeal way with the crab on top. He requested it be cooked medium rare plus and that's exactly what he received. He expressed how amazing the steak was cooked and the flavor. We shared a side of whipped Yukon potatoes that weren't too hot to dig into! These were creamy/buttery and perfect side for our entrees. As you can imagine, we were too full to have dessert but took a piece of cheesecake to go and shared later. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed the cheesecake. The blueberry compote was a delicious addition but the plain cheesecake shines all on its own! If I'm ever back in Louisville. I will be back and I'm bringing my friends.

Not one, not two, but three Gaucho chefs stopped by within approximately one minute asking if there was a particular cut I would like while the first chef had gone back to the kitchen. The service was incredible.

    Edit added next day: I should maybe add a star for the managements quick response when i emailed…read morethem the review. Or maybe not. But I believe they were sincere when they said they took my comments seriously and will look into the problems i noted. Original review below. Such a disappointment in so many ways. It started off nicely enough as I arrived for my reservation. I was given a choice of seating preferences (bar vs table) and my window-side table had a nice view outside and of the beautifully appointed room. Unfortunately things went downhill from there. I started with a drink and an appetizer as I considered the entree options. Prosciutto Montaditos: "toast topped with spreadable cheese and house-cured ham, drizzled with honey. The toast wasn't. It more resembled stale bread that was heated too long in a toaster oven: so dry it shattered into crumbs when I bit into it, with no browning on the outside and devoid of any flavor. The cheese, which might have been chèvre, was fine, but there was way too much of it. There was so little prosciutto (one thin slice per toast piece) that it could hardly be detected on its own and when I tried a small piece by itself I honestly couldn't tell the difference between this and something I'd buy at the grocery. But Cured specializes in house-cured meats so I expected to be wowed. As well, the honey drizzle was insufficient. When my waiter returned, not commenting on the mess of crumbs all over the table I made from attempting to eat this, and the substantial uneaten portions of bread and cheese, I placed my entree order. Knowing that the steaks here are a la carte, and sides are typically ordered separately (and the sides offered are very few) I inquired about the Rabo De Toro (oxtail, bell peppers, onions, garlic, carrots slow cooked with tomato paste and red wine), asking if it is a stew, like other oxtail preparations I have had. His answer was vague but he seemed to be saying yes. I ordered that. Entree arrived while I was still working on my appetizer, mid-chew with toast in hand. I had to scramble to make room for him to put it on my small table. Poor timing; a big no-no in a high end restaurant. It wasn't a stew. It was basically two chunks of meat on the plate, with a sauce on the side. It was tasty to be sure, and cooked expertly, but without any substantial vegetables (they were cooked down and used as a mirepoix to flavor the sauce) this disappeared quickly and left me wondering why I ordered it. The wording on the menu was so misleading, being more of a recipe than a description. And what's with the large flower on the plate? Edible flowers such as nasturtiums are welcome but this was something else so I asked Chatgpt which thinks it is a "purple orchid, most likely a Dendrobium, commonly used as an edible-looking but typically garnish-only on restaurant plates." So it may or may not be edible but it certainly wasn't appealing. Inedible or inappropriate garnishes have no business being on a food plate. I was drinking lightly that night so I kept it to one Aperol Spritz. It was good but why the tiny straw that didn't even reach the bottom of the glass? When the level got low and I could no longer use the straw I couldn't drink it without spilling ice and drink on myself given the rounded shape of the stem glass. When the waiter came back after I finished (the only time he did so) he asked how things were. "Well, since you asked," I began, calmly and clearly telling him of the many ways I was disappointed. He listened but didn't ask any followup questions, nor offered to pass on the feedback. All he did was apologize for my experience. Which was nice but woefully insufficient given the level of my dissatisfaction that I made clear. When he then asked if I wanted dessert I had to suppress a laugh! I wasn't going to take a chance of anything else going wrong. Even if was comped (which would be the courteous and appropriate thing to do in this situation but certainly not expected or required) I would have passed on it. He then returned with my check. Could things get any worse? Apparently they could. After a momentary shock looking at the huge number I quickly realized he gave me the wrong check! Easily straightened out as I looked around and saw another dining party also looking confused. As we exchanged checks between us I inquired how their meal went. Apparently they were satisfied. I'm happy for them. Mistakes happen and no big deal, but it was a darkly comical way to add insult to this highly disappointing experience. Before I left I stopped at the front to talk to the host, a young man. I again calmly explained my disappointment and asked that he pass on the feedback. He wouldn't even make eye contact, just sullenly looked down and muttered some sort of apology and assured me that he would pass it on. I doubt that he did. As I left he wished me, "Have a nice day," the sarcasm and derision inescapable. I wished him the same.

    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.

    This restaurant is amazing!! I was there on a Wednesday evening with 3 other people. We sat out…read moreback on the pation. It was absolutely beautiful. It was a warm day and there were 4 fans helping circulate the air. There was also a small stage where a lovely woman sang a mix of Spanish and English songs. She was fantastic! The food was amazing! All of us got different dishes and we all loved them! I got the Ropa Vieja en Lata which was delicious!! It's served in a can that they opened table aide with a short history of lesson as to why. It was a great experience! The reat of the table got the Vaca Frita, the Cuban sandwich, and the Pescado Crujiente. Everyone raved about their food. I'll definitely be back to try their whole menu!

    What a joke of a place!! Totally regret taking a taxi here ...what a waste of money!…read more Firstly, the person at the check in stand was horrible! And turned even worse and angry when I said I wanted a table as opposed to the offers bar. Not sure why these hosts at restaurant take such issue with a single person wanting a table rather than be crammed into a bar seat and then receive mediocre service from the bartenders! So I was told I had to wait 20 minutes. When they came to get me, guess where they sat me...in the bar!! WTAF?? Yes it was on a table, a broken table, unclean and sticky, but still in the bar in a crowded spot. As expected, zero service! I had to wait to even be greeted and when finally greeted...all I got was "what do you want to order?"! No help, no introduction, no hello or welcome! I was trying to figure out the menu and the bartender offered nothing! Said he would come back and then just disappeared! After about 10 minutes I chose to leave! What a mess! Maybe it's good...but I don't know and won't ever. I'll just go to a mom and pop place another night!
