    The restaurant was perfectly dressed for Christmas. Our party of 10 was meticulously cared for by Sheldon. His professional demeanor and attention to detail were superb. The meal was served simultaneously by 4 waitstaff. Each of our plates were set in front of us at the exact same time. It was like nothing I’ve ever experienced. The food was incredible. I personally ordered the surf and turf combo meal. The steak melted in your mouth and there’s a shrimp on top that could win a ‘world’s biggest’ competition. I cannot recommend Del Frisco enough!!

    I met a friend for dinner on a Thursday night and we had a great time catching up. The food is delicious, the service prompt, warm, and friendly, and the atmosphere cozy. Parking can be somewhat of a bear, but Lucca's is worth that relatively small inconvenience.
