Overview
Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse is the grand, classic steakhouse on International Drive — a big, polished room built for celebrations and client dinners. Prime steaks, an award-winning wine list and a sense of occasion make it one of Orlando's benchmark special-occasion restaurants.
Cuisine, atmosphere and best dishes
Cuisine: American prime steakhouse. Atmosphere: grand and upscale — high ceilings, a buzzy bar and a refined dining room. Best menu items: the prime bone-in ribeye, the filet, classic steakhouse sides, a chilled-seafood tower to start, and a bottle from the extensive, award-winning wine list. Save room for a signature dessert.
Price, who it suits and family rating
Price: $$$ (among the priciest on I-Drive). Family rating: 2/5 — well-behaved older children are fine, but the room, pace and prices suit couples, celebrations and business diners far more than young families. Its location makes it a prime choice for Convention Center dinners.

Our recommendation
Orlando Compass recommendation: when you want a classic steakhouse for a milestone or a client dinner, Del Frisco's is the I-Drive choice — book ahead, order a bone-in ribeye and lean on the sommelier for the wine. If you want seafood alongside your steak, Ocean Prime is the alternative; for all-you-can-eat meat, see Fogo de Chão.
