A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

Friday afternoons were meant for long lunches in the  Seaport, taking in the beautiful weather and the views of the water. Del Frisco’s has a great outdoor patio and I was invited to stop in and sample some of Chef Jason Carron’s new signature appetizers and entrees.

While the Double Eagle Steak House specializes in steak, some of my favorite bites of the day were the non steak items – take for example the tuna tartare.

If I were anywhere else, I might have been embarrassed ordering bacon as an appetizer, but here, it’s totally acceptable! The thick cut bacon au poivre is lightly dressed with a bourbon molasses glaze and will make you wish you ordered two servings!

The crab cake has tons of meat and is served on a cajun lobster sauce – a perfect option if you’re looking for something a little lighter at lunch time.

The prime steak salad ($21) comes with mixed greens, bacon, tomatoes, blue cheese, avocado, parmesan cheese, deviled eggs and is topped off with a horseradish dressing.

The restaurant doesn’t do anything to their meat, they just use the freshest meat available and season with salt and pepper, letting the flavor of the meat stand out on its own. They offer a variety of cuts of steak: filet, bone in filet, prime ribeye, prime strip, bone in prime ribeye, and prime porterhouse. For those of you looking for other options, they do have choices like lamb chops, chicken and and prime braised short ribs.

The wagyu tomahawk chop tops their menu off at a whopping $89, but hey, you only live once right?

Generally I steer clear of desserts at steakhouses, especially those that are large in size, because they are generally not worth it. After eating your weight in meat, do you really have room for dessert? At Del Frisco’s, the answer is yes. I’d make room for these desserts…

My favorite, and the restaurant’s most popular, was the butter cake. The cake has a nice crunch to the outside and is served a la mode – I may just skip the steak and come in for the dessert!

I’m generally not a bread pudding fan, but this banana bread pudding was pretty tasty. It was more bread than pudding, which I like , and it just melted in your mouth.

Stop in to Del Frisco’s and enjoy a light lunch or a gut busting dinner, but like I said, make sure to save room for dessert! Right now they are offering a business lunch special for $25, that includes a choice of starter (cup of soup, Del’s salad or Caesar salad) and a choice of an entree (filet medallions, salmon or chicken picatta). Oh, and if you’re drinking, make sure to try their signature drink the VIP, clementine vodka infused with Hawaiian pineapple!

Valet parking is available – they do not validate for the garage.
