Del Frisco's Steak House - Ft.Worth, Texas

Chances are you'll never need a restaurant recommendation in Ft. Worth, Texas, but if you somehow find yourself hungry and your wallet full, I would suggest avoiding all the cheap BBQ and Tex-Mex joints downtown and treating yourself to one of the best steaks you'll ever eat. Del Frisco's is everything you'd expect in a steak house: dark, wood paneled, intimate, overly helpful waiters, great wine list and of course huge amounts of delicious food. The wine list was impressive and a little on the expensive side. We ordered a nice bottle of Oregon Pinot for about $10 more than you'd normally pay in Portland. We started with the Shrimp Rimulaud, which was the perfect combo of tangy and hot. To accompany our steaks we added some king crab legs, which were as good as any I have every had. Of course the steak was fantastic, but you may want to get it cooked a little more than you normally do, as rare is practically raw in Texas. Still have room? There is a great list of deserts, including a classic cheesecake. If you are not in cardiac arrest by the end of the meal, the bill will put you over the top. Del Frisco's is not inexpensive, but it is worth every penny.
