   Server was pleasant but slow. They did not have baked potato! Who ever heard of that? French onion soup was good but was that white bread instead of croutons? It seems like they were greatly understaffed. I expected more from Del Frisco brand. More like a sports bar.

   The food was overall very good and not a single person at the table had a complaint about the taste or quality of their meal. We were sat directly next to the kitchen/bathroom hall which made for a night of our conversation being interrupted by staff yelling back and fourth at each other. The restaurant was not particularly crowded and why we were the only people sat in this area with plenty of other seating available is beyond me. The service started out strong, but as the night went on things started to take longer and longer. By the end of the night I was having to wave down the waiter for every little thing including the check which took over 15 minutes to get after we were done eating.

   It was 30 degrees outside and they had the air on, we were freezing. Instead of moving us to a different table they just moved our table away from the vent. The food was mediocre. The waitress was very good though. I blame this on the management.

   Highly disappointed!! When you go to an “upscale restaurant” with the reputation of Del Frisco, you do not expect to be in a downtown bar. It’s ironic the first thing you see when you walk in the door is a sign for a strict dress code, including No Jerseys and the majority of the restaurant is football fans in jerseys. Now the food, the majority of the menu was unavailable, including their ribeyes they’re recognized for. We started with French Onion soup which came to the table burnt. We sent back and they did deliver new ones which were delicious, but a place like this should look before serving something that burnt. We ordered the steak sandwiches as the waitress stated they were out of their prime steaks. The manager had to come over and inform us they had no more steak for the sandwiches. So ordered burgers. $25 Steakhouse burger! While it tasted very good, it was smaller than I can get at my local diner for $8, similar for my wife’s salad. To top it off I ordered an Old Fashion, that they did not have their typical bourbon, so they asked if I wanted a different type. I understand top shelf vs standard, but if that’s because the restaurant is out, it should be stated we have to charge you more, not wait until the bill comes. The manager Tim did end up taking the soups off the bill and giving the regular price for the drink, after we said something. Unfortunately, after spending the day in Philly, going to the theater and expecting a high quality Del Frisco dinner, we left extremely disappointed and would not return.

   Probably one of the best steaks in the city of Philadelphia! Filet mignon was outstanding. The bar had a modern and refreshing look to it. Bartenders were very attentive.

    We waited almost 15 minutes before someone came to the table. Service was so slow, our waiter apologized but it was just a very poor experience. Food was warm not hot, we had to cancel our dessert because it was taking too long. Overall very poor dining experience.
