Editorial Review for Delmonico's – by Kara Hoffman
The Scene
This Financial District establishment is a place where business can be done over a thick cut of steak. Crisp white tablecloths drape the seating areas and chandeliers dangle from decorated ceilings in the formal dining room. A full-service bar is attached to the dining room where patrons can order from the restaurant menu or a scaled-down bar menu. Trained waitstaff offer impeccable service.
The Food
The menu offers classic steakhouse fare and all-American treats. Oyster Rockefeller arrive with warm melted cheese and clams casino are accented with bacon. The Delmonico's salad is a delightful mix of greens, beets, marinated artichokes and peppers and mozzarella tossed with a light balsamic vinaigrette. Tender filet mignon arrives in bearnaise; shrimp scampi simmers in a light buttery, lemon broth. A piece of New York cheesecake makes for an ideal finish.

Although Delmonico's has received mixed reviews during restaurant week, my boyfriend and I thought we'd give it a try for our first NYRW experience. Our reservation was at 8:00pm, and we arrived a couple minutes early. Upon entry, we had no idea what we were in for. There was absolutely no order for checking in. It looked like a pack of hyenas trying to get to the food. The hostesses were taking names randomly on a notepad -- so reservations were utterly useless. They would take a few names, then seat people and before they could make their way back to the podium, patrons would bombard them with names. It was absolute chaos. People with reservations were livid. Since I've never been here before, I cannot say whether or not this is standard form. In the end, we waited 45 minutes to be seated, which honestly, I really shouldn't complain about considering you can wait longer than this at chain restaurants. Now to the food! Knowing that we were paying $35 for the prix fixe menu, we weren't expecting huge portions. But it was delicious! I ordered the tuna carpacccio; he ordered the Caesar salad. These were small portions indeed, but the bread basket complimented them. We both ordered the filet mignon (8oz) with garlic mashed potatoes. Absolutely amazing. My steak was cooked to perfection and the potatoes were to die for. The chocolate mousse layer cake was a sweet conclusion to the meal. We shared a bottle of the special wine for $29 (hey, we're still young and on a slight budget) and enjoyed it. The service was impeccable and we never felt rushed. I'll definitely come back here in the near future and will be happy to order from the regular menu.
Pros: Impeccable service, great value during restaurant week
Cons: Reservations are worthless when it's busy

No surprises at Delmonico's. Their dry aged steaks, sides, desserts and prices are on par with other old school steak houses in NYC.
Pros: No surprises
Cons: No surprises
