"We recently visited Delmonico's for my 33rd birthday. My husband had been there previously with his dad but I had never been. It's a nice place, felt cozy and perfect evening lighting. My husband basically had an order planned before we sat down. We met Ethan first, he was a serving assistant who promptly got us set up with waters. Then we met Antoine, our server. He was very friendly and nice. My husband loved their gin selection, they had his favorite which he doesn't see in restaurants very often. We got 2 dirty martinis which were great. Bread came quickly and was nice and warm. My husband got the lobster bisque which was the best thing we tried. It was so good, I should have ordered my own. We split the chilled seafood tower, it was good, oysters were tiny but that is a seasonal thing, we know better but seafood is my favorite and it was my bday! Anyways, we also got the Delmonico steak Oscar style, it was okay, my husband enjoyed it, but I don't think it's what I would order next time. Next time I WILL be getting my own bowl of lobster bisque. When we were ending the meal Antoine asked if there was anything else, my husband had to ask for a dessert menu which made me feel bad like maybe he wanted us to go and not stay for dessert so I mentioned forgetting it but my husband said crème brulee was my favorite so I deserved it on my bday and ordered it, it was pretty good. Overall it was a nice dinner, nice place, good service. It's not the whole celebratory vibe but it's a solid dinner w/ good bisque!!"
