This is so funny! I read the reviews here encouraging customers to go to AJ Maxwell's, and then went to citysearch for DelFriscos, and saw the same. OK, you got my attention, I'm in on this "steakhouse war". I'll check out both restaurants, being a steak lover I will eat at both of the local restaurants and write my review on which is the best. Stay tuned for more of the dish on is the better choice. I'LL BE BACK.

What a disappointment!! From the minute I walked through the doors, I had to force my way in through the crowd and there was no-one there to greet me. I felt uncomfortable and unwanted. After searching out the rude hostess, I was finally seated, with 2 of my friends in tow. You would thing they would try to get the dinner started on a positive note. I sat there at my table for at least half an hour before I got any attention. Our server seemed pre-occupued, monotoned and downright unprofessional. We were all starving and anxious to eat. We had heard great things about this place and to be honest, I never write these reviews, but I was so mad that I felt I had to warn people. This place is so hyped up and to me, the only good thingis the decor. The railings were the star in this restaurant. Wrought iron and gorgeous. THAT IS ALL!!!!!!! The food was awful, the crabcake was all breadcrumb, not a piece of crab in sight. The steaks were dry and skimpy. I was expecting a thick juicy hunk of beef. The service was BAD. I was recently relocated to this area and will never go back., a shame because I'm so close. I left tempted to complain and not pay the very expensive check, but that's not my style. When we went back to our office, a friend recommended AJ Maxwell's Steakhouse right around the corner. Now this is what I'm talking about. I had a great time, great food and a great welcome from Lenny the owner, I brought the guys back after work. I'm happy I found a place I can feel important walking throught the doors and get a great lunch, dinner, and a great drink. Thanks Lenny.
Pros: none, overall bad experience
Cons: nice decor
