South Side Restaurants

My father was visiting from out of state and we took him to this restaurant because he has never eaten at any of their locations previously. This was only my husband and my second time here (celebrated two birthdays in November) and we were really looking forward to returning…we were not disappointed and this Del Frisco’s location passed our consistency test!! Our server Madison provided great service and sooooo pleasant!! As for our meals, included; the dangerously tasty table bread, an appetizer of the shrimp cocktail, lobster bisque and wedge salad with blue cheese dressing, and 16 ounce ribeye steak entrees with 3 sides (mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, and asparagus)…a leisurely and just delicious meal (steaks were perfectly cooked including the crispy char…will say again, that their ribeye steaks are the best of any that I have ever tasted)!! I also want to mention that I absolutely love the ambience, contemporary design including the and romantic and cozy lighting, as well as the wonderful singing entrainment during both times that we eaten here…the female singer last night was incredibly talented!! Lastly, my husband and I look forward to returning soon for another delicious meal!!

My daughter & I went to Ritual House for the first time last night. We got seated in a booth near the bar. We ordered a bread board and the edamame, both were good! I ordered the Asian inspired chicken and got the sauce on the side, as recommended by the waiter. The chicken was moist and the breading perfectly done! The sauce was on the sweeter side (almost like syrup), so I am glad it was on the side. Didn’t care for the slaw. My daughter got a grilled chicken Caesar salad, she said it was good! We will definitely be back to try some different food.

Great overall experience! Allergy concious. They are very allergy conscious and ask for any food allergies straight away. Normally someone with me is GF but they were not there to truly test that full experience. Next time they visit home with me we fully plan to come back to give it the full experience!

Visited for Christmas Eve dinner as a party of 6. IT WAS PACKED. Like I’ve never seen it. But guess what? Despite a short wait past our reservation time (15 min? 20? completely reasonable for a full house on a holiday) our experience was the same as if it was a slow night. Our servers were personable and thorough, the meal was nicely paced, and every course was served at the right temperature and with lovely presentation. Only disappointment was the tomahawk cut that my husband ordered being sold out… bummer, he was really excited for that entree and had to pivot to a ribeye. Hats off to CG for really solid execution on what has to be one of the most hectic nights of the year there. If you’re looking for a lively Christmas Eve in the city, I can’t fathom anywhere else was THIS busy and also so on pointe.

To be honest. It was the only place that I could get a reservation for six in at the last minute. They did accommodate us well. When I did arrive, the place does have an old musty smell. It was virtually empty with only a few tables seated on a Saturday night at 7 PM. The waiter that took our order was a tentative. Our chef was very good as well. Unfortunately, I left there, and I was still hungry after getting the imperial twin New York strip steaks. in a pinch again, I surely would go. But it would not be my first choice.
