text: Del Friscos serves up as far as I am concerned the best steak dinner in town I am very familiar with most of the other good steakhouses in Vegas Charlie Palmers Joes BOA etc and while they all serve a fine steak Del Friscos manages to outdo them nearly all the timennFood The porterhouse is the best I have ever had and it never fails Very tender flavorful and all around a great cut The Double Eagle has always been a bit of a let down to me but maybe it is just shamed by the porterhouse The filet mignon is also excellent and very tender but not that much better than the competition The sides appetizers are also great The calamari is excellent Very tender and not overly breaded Mushrooms and creamed spinach are great side dishes but their signature macaroni cheese does not do much for me I enjoy the chopped salad but it is not as exceptional as the steaks Desert wise I always get the chocolate mousse and can definitely recommend it but how hard is it make a good mousse nnService is usually impeccable Staff is very friendly and food is delivered promptly We arrived late once for a reservation at about pm closing time is and they sat us without batting an eyelash and never made us feel rushed even as we lounged around far past closingnnAmbience is nice but not particularly extraordinary A little more business than luxury but I really cannot complain You do not have to put too much effort into dressing up but it is definitely not a tshirt and shorts kind of place Although I did show up in shorts once they did not give me a hard time One downside is that due to the oppressive Nevada smoking laws they have had to disallow cigar smoking even in the cigar lounge There used to be no better way to spend a evening in Vegas but what can you do
