Del Frisco's plays for high steaks and wins
LEO's Eats with Robin Garr
Here's very good news for steak lovers in Louisville: Del Frisco's, an old-school steakhouse that's enjoyed local landmark status for 30 years, is running at the top of its form. Steak has always been big in Louisville, with a broad variety of options ranging from high-end chains like Morton's and Ruth's Chris to mini-chains like Jeff Ruby's, and locals like the decades-old Pat's and the newer Z's Steakhouse and Oyster Bar, not to mention the beefy Argentine delights of Palermo Viejo.
Amid all this protein action, Del Frisco's seemed to temporarily lose its luster, and after a couple of disappointing visits a while back, I hadn't returned. But good news travels fast, and I've been hearing reports that Del Frisco's has quietly regained its glow. Old-timers will be delighted to learn that the affable owner-host Audrey Lapp remains on hand to greet you.
We made haste to check it out, heading over there recently with a couple of friends for a dinner involving aged, USDA prime steaks and other delicious goodies, along with quality service and prices more than fair by steakhouse standards.
Did I mention that Del Frisco's is "old school"? This definition suits the style of the place as well as the bill of fare. Extending through several rooms in the same St. Matthews commercial building that houses Havana Rumba, it projects the image of a classy if rather conservative club.
