    Hadn't eaten at Del Frisco's since many years ago in Dallas, TX. Spectrum Center location is well appointed and inviting. Food was very good, but pricey. Dinner for 4 with minimum drinks ran $300.00; so definitely not for the faint hearted :)

    Jack from Scotland was our server and did an excellent job! He was very engaging and really seemed to enjoy his job. They have so many food choices and a price point for everyone and the restaurant is beautiful! We had the lemon cesar salad, avocado fries, wagyu burger and veggie taco plate. Everything was so good (besides the French fries that came with the burger, those need some work). Otherwise, the experience overall was an A+! We’ll definitely be back to try additional menu items.

    Very popular dinner place…and for good reason. Menu offers a variety of selections in each category. Price point is not over-the-top (especially for the area). Food is tasty. Portions are generous (we took home 6 containers of food for another dinner!). Our server, Alondra, was top drawer. Professional, spot on with any needs, funny, & personable. We all left impressed.
