My family celebrated Thanksgiving at DelFrisco’s and it was a great experience. The service was top notch and staff were incredibly friendly. The food was delicious. Skip the steak sauces, the quality of the meat is top notch and prepared perfectly. Excellent Experience!

Great experience, great food, great atmosphere! We celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary and followed up the meal with a show downtown. The arugula and cheese appetizer was a great contrast of flavors and temperatures, the salad and pasta courses were delicious, and our sea bass and shrimp special was succulent and flavorful. The staff was very friendly and helped us make it to the show on time and the anniversary dessert was tasty!

AWESOME! We enjoyed a great dinner last night at Mezzo! We hadn't been there in a while. Since our last visit some new things were added to the menu and we decided to try three of them. We had the small plates of the lump crab cakes, and short rib and we shared the gnocchi with vodka sauce! The crab cakes were delicious and the side of aioli really made them shine! The short rib, bar none, was literally melt-in-your-mouth spectacular!!!!! The vodka sauce on the gnocchi had a hint of "spice" and the wilted spinach in the sauce made for another fabulous dish!!! A shout out to Jeffrey our server to Mike the manager and a BIG SHOUT OUT to the kitchen!!! Great job everyone!! Many thanks from this foodie!!!
