Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse

A favorite of business types and sports stars, this spectacular 13,000-square-foot restaurant in the Galleria mixes the old world opulence of dark wood paneling and rich leather upholstery with sleek touches like soaring windows. The USDA prime beef meets even the highest standards of Texas carnivores and is prepared to perfection. The enormous wine selection is impressive. And we can’t get enough of the plump, freshly baked bread. Reminder to self: Restrain from the carbs, save room for the main course. Power brokers and cigar aficionados alike can be found in the clubby cigar bar.
