I have to say out of all the steak houses I have been to this one takes the cake, and then some! I noticed Del Friscos when I was at Walt Whitman mall. They are building one were the (i)legal seafood used to be. So upon go ogling the place, at this time I never heard of them. I see the "double eagle" on 6th Ave with almost 5 stars and on the border of 1700 reviews. To top it off a couple of friends, Dava, & Marianne gave this location great reviews.
So here we are Del Friscos double eagle steakhouse. The inside has the "wow" factor! There are three floors, the main floor, the second floor which has a nice view, and then there is the lower level. We sat on the main floor. By the way then trance is off of 49th just in case. They also have outside seating, which you might get attacked by the wildlife, me, I'd rather my wildlife on a plate LoL! So after being seated in a nice comfy booth, we were greeted by our friendly and helpful server Sarah. For an appetizer she highly recommend the crab cakes, how can you go wrong right? As far as the meals, we again asked for recommendations, and what her favorites were. She raved over the bone-in filet which starts @ 16oz, and goes up, her next favorite was the lobster tails. They start out huge! 16oz, and they are $6 per pound. And finally a restaurant that serves pure melted butter! What really grinds my gears is all these other restaurants that serve butter mixed with oil?! Since when did that become good?! Ok enough about that LoL. As far as sides, they are served family size. We were told to go with the mushrooms with the pearl onions, and the cauliflower and brie au gratin.
As soon as the crab cake came I knew this was THE one. Yes like Neo in the matrix. Crab, glorious sweet, yummy crab. If you do not get this you are crazy! There are only TRACES of breading, it is ALL crab! Soooo good!
As we are anticipating our main meals the waitress brings us butter for the lobster in these cute silver dishes being warmed by candle. Then, the moment of truth, the entrées arrive! The steak arrived looking great, and cooked perfectly. As far as the lobster tail, they actually carve it out of the shell for you! The Lobster was awesome! Fresh and tender. Not like most places that over or under cook it. And as for the sides, OMG both to die for! The mushrooms had a nice sweet flavor thanks to the pearl onions. The cauliflower & brie au gratin was great and not too over powering with cheese, it also had a nice hint of truffle oil!
So you would think we would be full, but not when it comes to dessert! Our waitress Sarah had not been wrong about ANYTHING when it came to what she liked. So we rolled the dice again as if we were in Vegas again! She recommends a lemon layer cake. I'm like, really?! The portion is almost the size of a normal cake, so definitely share. Again, she nailed this one out of the park!
Needless to say I will be back sooner then later, and yes we will be asking for Sarah as well. We had such a great experience we even spoke to the manager Orlando, who was just as pleasant!
