Best Steak Restaurants in Hockessin

Fantastic food, service and just one of the best restaurants in Delaware

This was my first holiday dining out since I lost my mother who was my every holiday expert cook and host. At Sullivan’s Steakhouse, I received outstanding service, and I had an excellent dining experience. My server Maurice was thorough and provided me and my guest with a superior level of personalized service. The food was prepared as requested, seasoned well and five stars delicious. The atmosphere was wonderful. It was at a good holiday celebration noise level. And the few children I observed as present were well mannered and dressed nicely for the occasion. The manager Michael Pons Jr. was hands-on and very attentive to his restaurant guests. He made me feel like a valued customer. I left Sullivan’s Steakhouse feeling fantastic, so much so, that before turning in that night I made reservations for New Year’s Eve dining.

We knew Christmas Day dinner at Sullivan’s Steakhouse would be jamming as they were the only fine dining establishment around open all day. When we arrived at 1PM it was already 3/4s full. We were seated in the elevated section in the back where the private room is located although everything was open to accommodate all their guests. Malik was our head server and did an outstanding job in a stressed situation due to the large crowd with service assistance from Hunter and Brian. The old fashioned prepared by CJ was outstanding. We each had a shrimp cocktail (disappointing as these were NOT fine steakhouse quality - these were wet and long in the tooth), split a tasty Caesar salad. For our main course, we split a filet mignon on the bone, twin lobster tails, mashed potatoes (iced cold upon arrival & eventually removed from bill) and asparagus. Overall, a delightful meal. For a major holiday, they did a great job handling everything. We enjoyed the experience very much and will be back.

I enjoyed a Christmas Eve meal at the ever excellent Butcher + Singer. Everything was wonderful - from a warm welcome at check in, my fabulous, attentive server, Miss Brandy and, of course, the perfectly prepared food. Dining at Butcher + Singer is always a treat, but this particular meal will always be remembered as extra special. Thank you for another exceptional experience!

We’ve always enjoyed our meals at Valle Cucina so going there for our Christmas Eve dinner has become a tradition.
