Delmonico's

FACT: Delmonico's was the first American eatery to be called by the French name "restaurant ." CHECK OUT: The two columns flanking the doorway were reportedly salvaged from the ruins of Pompeii.

Great traditional meal. For sure we will come back. We decided to try the Barolo, and it was a great decision. We will be back to try the eggs Benedict , as if they created, they must be excellent.

Oldest fine dining restaurant in the country . The filet mignon , naked raviolis & the lobster iceberg were delicious. The ambiance & service truly transport you to a different century. Worth the money.

Fancy place and behind it there is a great story about its history and how the owner took the Delmonico’s name. I highly recommend the Delmonico’s steak and baked Alaska for dessert .

Their fillet mignon is GREAT try it! It has a sauce that makes it quite particular. The chocolate mousse comes with a blackberry sauce and is just fantastic! Service is fantastic too!

This is the first steakhouse/restaurant in the US and is a historic restaurant . Ambiance is very formal and classic. Try one of their classics lobster dishes.

Solid classic steakhouse fare. Historic institution. Can't go wrong with lobster bisque , filet mignon or baked alaska for dessert . Service is great too!

The steak is pretty good quality and served in the old fashioned style, very similar to Peter Lugers. Don’t order sauce, maybe a butter if you want. The baked Alaska is not that good, don’t get it

While I would be reluctant to call a $45 meal a value I do think the pick 3 lunch is, if you can a afford it, very reasonable for a restaurant of this caliber in this city . I left very satisfied.

Service sucks. Practically have to wave the server over. Porterhouse was good but not as good as lugars. King crab Mac n cheese , garlic spinach & brussels sprouts were good sides.

Get the dry-aged ribeye . Will cost you a pretty penny but well worth it.
