We had an excellent dining experience at this restaurant. The food was outstanding, fresh, delicious, & prepared perfectly. The service was equally impressive, with a friendly, attentive, & professional team that made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.
What truly set this restaurant apart was the exceptional care & dedication shown by the staff when our daughter misplaced her retainer during our visit. The team went above & beyond to help locate it, taking the time to thoroughly search & follow up with us. Their kindness, patience, & genuine concern were greatly appreciated.
It's rare to find a restaurant that combines great food, outstanding service, & such a high level of customer care. We are very grateful for the staff's efforts & would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience
We hosted a Literacy Unlimited Ambassador meet-up at Del Friscos last night, & it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. We were a group of 15, & the team made everything feel seamless-accommodating us with a great table that allowed for connection & conversation.
The service was attentive, friendly, & genuinely welcoming, & the food was perfect across the board. It's not always easy to coordinate a larger group, but everything was handled with ease & care.
We left feeling well taken care of & already looking forward to coming back. A perfect spot for both community gatherings & a great night out. Highly recommend.
Have been here twice & was very impressed, but Alex was our server today & she was outstanding! So friendly & attentive, making great recommendations. The food came quickly & was excellent. We live out of province, but can't wait to come back & have another meal at Del Friscos!

Stopped in for lunch on our way out of Montreal on a Saturday with a party of five (4 adults, 1 child).
There was no one at the front when we first walked in, but we were acknowledged shortly after & seated promptly. We were seated at a white cloth tablecloth table, which gave a nice home-style feel, though I did question consistency since not all tables had them.
I did have to ask for a kids' menu for my 8-year-old, which felt like a small detail that could have been anticipated.
Service overall was strong. Our waitress was attentive, especially with drink refills, & maintained good energy throughout.
We ordered a good variety: chipotle mango chicken, Jack Daniel's chicken, short ribs, mashed potatoes, spaghetti, penne with meatballs, a fettuccine Alfredo kids' meal, plus the soup of the day options - minestrone & potato.
The minestrone was very good. The potato soup was okay but a little underwhelming. Portion sizes were generous across the board, including the kids' meal.
The short ribs weren't what we expected - more of a roast-style preparation without a bone. While it was mentioned they weren't classic ribs, a clearer explanation would have helped set expectations.
The Shirley Temples felt more like syrup & 7-Up without the classic citrus component. Coffee was average at best - I'd skip it next time.
They brought out complimentary mini cannolis for the table, which was a thoughtful touch & appreciated.
Total before tip was $197, & we left $100 in appreciation for the attentive service.
Overall, a solid lunch experience with generous portions & attentive service, with a few small opportunities to elevate attention to detail.
I dined here at Del Frisco's for my very first time.
My waitress Maddie was nice & took great care of my table.
She was very attentive to my order details & made sure my water was topped up.
I ordered two soups. The minestrone & soup of the day: Salmon chowder. Both were very good.
I ordered the 8oz. Pan seared Cajun style salmon fillet topped with bruschetta & balsamic glaze.
Salmone Di Louisiana
8oz. Filet de saumon à la Cajun poêlé, recouvert de bruschetta, & d'émail balsamique.
This was a very flavorful dish & I would get it again, but a note of caution is that I found some bones in my salmon. I do believe I removed them all but I get alarmed when I see them.
At the end of my meal, I ordered a shot of Grappa Digestif & I must say that was one of the best I've had.
The restaurant was nicely decorated. I liked the wine display in the main dining room & the special Ferrari booth by the bar. Being the car enthusiast I am, I had to take a photo there.
I'm definitely planning to come back here again.
The service was great. The waiter was available & attentive to our needs.
In general the food was good & abundant. Except for my pizza 😞. The toppings were tasty but the crust was hard & over cooked. Maybe the cook had an off day. I'll need to go back & try their pizza again.
This was a great spontaneous choice. Peter was our waiter, he was attentive & pleasant. Our food was great & portions were sizeable.
We ordered the:
Melanzane - Layers of roasted eggplant, marinara sauce, mozzarella & ricotta cheese, served with marinara or bolognaise. $22
Polpettini - Tomato sauce, crumbled Italian meatball, red peppers, basil, mozzarella & ricotta cheese. $24
Cannoli Cheese Cake.
I only gave it 3 out 5 stars for atmosphere because competing loud sources of music at the bar & in the dining room that made it difficult to focus. & the cold air coming from the window.
Last night's dinner with my family was fantastic, thanks to our amazing waitress, Angie! She was incredibly attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Her friendly, positive attitude added to the warm atmosphere. Angie truly went above & beyond, making our experience memorable. Outstanding service!
