The steak of steaks

by Anothertraveler at Citysearch

Its not often that a restaurant stays in one place and so consistent for so long. It's 100% old school in there and they make it work. Be prepared to spend some money once you get the menu open. It's worth it, I wouldnt go back again and again if it wasn't.

I even bought the steaksauce to go, not sure if thats still an option.

Good steak

by yaelleah at Citysearch

In retrospect, I should have planned my schedule better as some coworkers and I made reservations at the historic Delmonico's for a nice steak lunch. It's rare that I eat red meat, but yes, I did have steak two days in a row, but it was damn delicious. Restaurant Week is a great idea for lunch, not only because it's cheaper, but because it's more of a treat. How often do you eat a 3-course lunch? Most of us all ordered the same items - Snap Pea and Corn Soup with Crab, Steak Frites and Chocolate Peanut Butter Mouse. The one thing I will say is that their version of medium rare is my version of the cow is still mooing. I did have to send it back, but the service was polite and returned my steak cooked perfectly. The dessert was heavenly as well, although I went back to my office in a bit of a food coma. Let's just say I'll be eating a salad for dinner tonight.

Surprisingly Good Steakhouse

by Athena Chang , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

Delmonico's has its fame but located in FiDi makes it unattractive to me. I saw it on Restaurant Week list and decided what the heck. I need to try the place out to judge myself.

We arrived there and the host was very friendly. I actually fell in love with the decor and old world feel immediately once I walked in.

The food was excellent. Their Restaurant Week menu was strong with many steak options including a 16 oz steak, fillet Mignon, steak frites, etc. We tried the Steak frites and Delmonico Steak and they are seasoned well and tender.

The seared scallops are paired with creamy corn stew and they are excellent. My boyfriend's chilled minty soup was different but good.

Desserts were all good. We tried lemon tart, chocolate peanut butter cake and baked Alaska and they are so sweet and creamy!

I think I have a totally different perception on Delmonico's now and I look forward to coming back here.

  • Pros: Great Steak, Huge Portion

I think this place was fine. I was expecting better and have only gone there once. The food was fine, I don't think on the same level as the other fine restaurants in NY but if you're looking for a good place for business dinner, it is ok.
