Stepped outside my usual and went for Italian. I was pleasantly pleased with the food.  I ordered a tequila based drink, it was refreshing.  They didn’t have the pumpkin ravioli, I was a little disappointed. I got the spinach salad which was really good.  It was served in a cheese bowl, yum!  My homegirl ordered the salmon crostini for an app.  It was served on thick french bread, way bigger than the usual crostini. She could only eat two.  For our mains, salmon and a shrimp pasta dish both had a brandy based sauces. The salmon was cooked well, it had a grain mustard sauce, it was delightful. The sides were good.  I’m not a fan of shrimp, although her dish was well seasoned.  Dessert, now I skipped over the tartufo only because I saw creme brulee. Now when I saw the tartufo I was shocked. It was a chocolate shell, with ice cream in the middle.  It looked amazing. The first order came out with berries and my homegirl is deathly allergic. The second one was a different flavor, it was fine but she wanted the first flavor minus the berries. There seemed to be a loss in translation at that point.  My dessert was great. I would definitely get two desserts next time.

My friend graduated, this May.  To celebrate we went to lunch at Del Friscos.  My friend was trying to get there, this was the perfect opportunity.  Once seated the waitress showed us the cocktail of the day.  It was a pineapple martini.  There was a huge glass jar filled with vodka and pineapple on the bar.  She immediately ordered one, I decided to skip alcohol this afternoon.  As I perused the menu I found ‘business lunch’, perfect.  I ordered a caesar salad, salmon and a chocolate mousse for dessert.  My friend ordered lobster bisque, lobster mac and cheese, a signature dish and shrimp scampi.  Our appetizers came out first, the salad was crisp and I enjoyed the shredded cheese on it. The bisque had lobster you could actually see.  We enjoyed both.  The mac came out next, piping hot and the immediately serve it to you.  It was delicious,  the right blend of cheeses and again lobster you can see and taste.   My salmon was cooked perfectly, the edges were crispy and the seasoning was light.  The shrimp were huge, the pasta was tossed just right with sauce.  The sauce was creamy, with a touch of garlic.   They surprised my friend with a free dessert,  to acknowledge her accomplishment.  We ended up with the mousse and cheesecake!  The mousse was chocolatey and airy.  The cheesecake was rich and tasty.  I would definitely go back for dinner and drinks.
