"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!!"

"Worst service ever! As we walked to the podium to check in, the hostess took a phone call and we were forced to stand there for several minutes (long enough for four people to try to get by us, because their hosting stand is placed in the worst possible location). Once the phone call was over, we gave our name and the hostess looked at her book for some time, highlighting various things before finally showing us to the table. It was approximately 20 minutes before a waitress came and took our drink order. She took our dinner order and we ordered an appetizer of bread service, because they charge for that, which we never received. I had to eat some snacks from my purse because I was starving, and we considered leaving, but our food finally came as we were standing up to leave, about 30-35 minutes after ordering. Our food was only OK, not disgusting, but not particularly noteworthy, certainly not worth the exorbitant prices. We were provided butter knives to cut our meat! We wolfed down our food as we were starving by this time, and our waitress never returned. My husband went to the bathroom and ran into the waitress and asked for our check. She said she would be right there, but, par for the course, never returned, so we went to the front and were told that she had to leave because of a family emergency. We were to believe that in the time it took for my husband to use the bathroom, about 2 minutes, she received the news that she had a family emergency, decided she had to leave precipitously, communicated with the other staff the remaining needs for her tables, and left. My husband forgot to check if we were charged for the bread service because we were in such a hurry to leave, but I am sure that the charge was tacked on. I would not be surprised if there was also a charge for the water. Just a dismal experience, would not recommend unless you really enjoy terrible service and mediocre food. If that 's your jam, this place is for you!"

"I’d like to start by saying that I never really leave reviews for places but after today’s lunch and the service I received, I felt obligated to let anyone reading know that you are missing out if you don’t come here and experience it for yourself. As someone who has years of experience in supervision/management, I understand that good help can be one of the challenges we face in terms of employment, for whatever reason it may be. However, the gentleman who provided his services to us by waiting our table was absolutely on top of his game! No sooner than our butts hit the seat, he was there to take on any request we were ready to make. They didn’t happen to have the beer I normally order as a “go to” but he offered a suggestion that turned out to be an excellent substitute. Not only was he very attentive the entire time, to the point where I would simply think of something I wanted and he was right there to make sure I had it. He was able to provide that top tier service while dealing with a packed dining room, which is something you do not see many people capable of doing, let alone as well. He was also incredibly friendly and personable, wearing a smile indicating that he was not unhappy with his job, which is important to me as well. Employees do their best work when they’re well taken care of, and it shows in their performance. To Ben S: Excellent job all around! Lastly I’m not going to get into how good the food was. My friend and I went with some bone-in wings and man, they were good. I am very picky about my wings, having grown up raised by someone who was born and raised in Buffalo, NY, so it takes a lot to impress me, but they knocked it out of the park. I also ordered some onion rings which turned out to be so massive, it took 2 boxes to contain the left overs I took home with me. Everything I saw being served to others looked equally tasty, and smelled amazing. I’m going to have to go back as soon as I get the first opportunity. The only thing I didn’t care for was the tiny table we were sitting at, but that’s merely my preference and we could have been sat elsewhere had my friend not requested a taller table, him being almost made entirely of legs. That’s not the restaurant’s fault, but perhaps they may do better with that area having more traditional style tables in their place? Perhaps they work well for everyone else. Either way Great place to eat. Top tier service. Amazing food. If you don’t eat here, you’re only doing yourself an injustice. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4"
