Awesome dinner! Very nice decor, atmosphere and the most friendly staff . Kierra served us and was very attentive and the food was spot on

Delicious! What a great restaurant to enjoy a meal at! We dropped in unexpectedly last Friday Night and much to our surprise they were able to seat the three of us! My daughter had the wet aged ribeye and loved it! So tasty and tender! Perfectly spiced and cooked! My wife had the seabass that was so delicious! The sauce accompanying the seabass was extremely tasty that highlighted the taste of the fish! I had the pork tenderloin on Joel's recommendation and it was delicious! Tender flavorful pork tenderloin cooked perfectly was so yummy! Our sever Joel was awesome! The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice, perfect place to have quiet conversations in! Great restaurant to have a fabulous meal in!! read more

The modern style restaurant sets the tone from the top. Higher end steak restaurant! The food was good, the service was fast, the restaurant was high class. The prices matched and this is expensive. read more

My experience here was wonderful! I had the lobster roll, bourbon sweet potatoes and chocolate torte. Everything was delicious! The restaurant was clean, quiet, and the food was very quick. My server was Josh. He was very kind and attentive. He recommended the lobster roll after I told him I was craving fish. He also suggested the chocolate dessert. He was spot on! He was courteous and friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. Nothing bad to say about this place. I will definitely be back! read more

The best steak I've ever had! Take it with a grain of salt because I don't usually order steaks but when in the Midwest/Great Plains...how can you not. We ordered the bison wagyju and the house file mignon and they were both excellent, with wagyju being out of this world. For the appetizer we got steak tips (sweet & sour), also excellent, and the drinks (aviation, bourbon & berries) were on point. Would definitely come back. read more

Poor excuse for fine dining. Absolutely no plating. Came with reservations for a large party on a Weekday night, took 20 mins to get bread to the table. Kyle barely checked on us. Food was brought out at various temperatures some items cold other items fresh and warm. Inconsistent cooks on the meats considering multiple people ordered meats medium. read more

HIGHLY overrated. Service was slow - slow- slow Brushetta was dry- dry- dry Salmon was overcooked The only thing saving the review from 1 star was that my husband's ribeye was good. Otherwise, there was absolutely no redeeming quality for the dining experience. We should have stayed at the firehouse across the street and had a burger. We would have enjoyed it more and saved $150.00. read more

Delmonico Grill - Salmon - Steakhouses Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

15% at the best. Charming place with cozy seating. I appreciated the host giving me a small single-top table instead of at the bar, which would have been fine. I ordered a glass of the featured wine (Grenache) and an appetizer. Pretty good app - the beef tips were nice with the sweet and hot peppers. Glad to see a Spanish wine featured. I asked for bread, as it was not part of the standard service, I guess. It looked good, but it was gummy. For entre - the lamb chops. The server said she would substitute mashed potatoes for the couscous when I asked. Fell apart from this point on. I was almost finished with my glass of wine when the entrée arrived, and I would have ordered another if asked. She didn't, so I decided not to push it (losing the sale). When the server asked about the meal (I had completed two of the four chops when she inquired), I said the spice was great. However, if someone had looked at the plate, they would have seen that I had pushed aside most of the excess fat and gristle. No questions about why there was such a large pile. Soon, a larger party got seated, and I became invisible. Other servers were noticeable and seemed relatively unbusy but did not seem to assist my server or follow up with me. A big table requires a lot of work, naturally, and might have a higher tab, but what about the poor little one-top who bought an app, wine, high-dollar entrée, and possibly had a dessert? A manager/hostess/other server/busser did come up and asked if I wanted dessert. I said I didn't know what they had, so I was presented with a menu. This was the last I saw of them or the server. I was finally asked if I wanted anything else and offered an apology and a comp dessert due to being relegated to a "big party" afterthought. A bit too late. Not until I left did I notice that the "can you substitute the mashed potatoes for the couscous" cost me $6.00 additional. read more

We came in a busy Friday night and enjoyed A wonderful dining experience. The waitstaff was friendly , polite and responsive. Every part of the meal was presented and cooked perfectly. read more

This was amazing! The flavors were tantalizing on the tongue! Steaks were exactly what you would expect delivered table side to your liking! The side dishes have flavors that were rich and enticing and my husband loved the bourbon sweet potatoes! Dessert presented a butterscotch crème dessert that was decadent in its delivery. I would come back here every time we come through town. The food was so good i forgot to take pictures!!!!! read more

Great Restaurant!. Wife and I had dinner. I had the sirloin and she had the tenderloin ends. We both lived our meals. Caleb was our server and was exceptional. read more

My hotel was just 3mins walk to this restaurant so I decided to try it. I booked a reservation online, walked in, and a big smile from the receptionist right in front of the restaurant. She checked me in, asked me to wait in waiting area while they set up a booth ready for me. I waited less than 5mins to get my table. I was worried about the food would be too salty like the other places but the server was nice and explained to me which option is salty and which is not. I ordered medium rare Wet Aged Ribeye with asparagus and baked potatoes. It was delicious. The meat was juicy, tender, and not salty. It came out hot with exact how medium rare that I wanted. I had to wait a bit long for my food came out but it was worth for the wait. The restaurant wasn't too noisy and has a lot tables which good for big group as well. I actually found a fly during my dinner. It was flying around my food. I think the owner should do something with that problem since they seem like an upscale restaurant. They have paid parking in front of the restaurant. read more

Worst service in Rapid city I've ever had. Our reservation was for 5:45 and we still didn't have our food by 7:30!! A family came in and was seated after our party and received their food first, and our order was screwed up When we finally got it. I'd say this place is overpriced and definitely overrated!! We'd have been better off going to Longhorn or Texas Roadhouse . Food and service is much better there! Maybe because half of us were brown, just making an observation here‍‍ read more

We had a great experience at the Delmonico Grill. We intended to go to tally Silverspoon, but they were full so we were directed to their sister restaurant at Delmonico Grill. The service was great, the restaurant is a little quieter, leaning towards fine dining. The food was delicious. We loved the Seabass and brussels sprouts and my kids had fantastic steak bites at a great value. read more

Delmonico Grill - Wonderful service and delicious food! Highly recommend this gem. On the pricier side for Rapid City, but definitely worth it! - Steakhouses Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

This was my third visit, each time to enjoy their delicious burger. They are a very generous 3/4#, obviously made from trimmings they get from cutting their own steaks in-house from primals. Start @ $20, cheese and bacon $3 extra each. Again this time the meat was cooked and seasoned perfectly...I asked for medium, and that's how it came. My only complaint this time was that they changed the brioche roll found on both previous visits to a seeded "pretzel" roll. Not a fan. It was chewy, kinda flavorless and a bit too tall in my estimation. I would recommend changing back to the soft buttery brioche. No wonder so many burger places use them now. I did also try the Lobster Bisque, since it was Valentine's Day and I was treating myself. Flavor was good, more lobster pieces than most places. Server said it was a bit creamy, which I love. When it came, it wasn't creamy in the least. This is a matter of personal preference I suppose...this was decidedly brothy not creamy in any way. For folks who like it that way, fine. I don't think Chef uses any cream in his. All this said, I may return for burger again, but would avoid the bisque. Staff were all very pleasant, and the restaurant is beautiful inside. I was there @ 4pm...they looked to be super busy for V day. Most every table and several bar stools (where they seated me) had "Reserved" signs. When I save my money, I'll be back for a steak...they are a bit pricey, but looked like they were worth the price. Class place. read more

Food is very good but not worth the price. The mashed potatoes are lumpy and the green beans are cold and hard. Wagu beef was too seasoned and just not up to par. Service was okay. read more

Ambiance and service was excellent. William is the host and he was extremely welcoming and offered plenty of recommendations regarding food, town and visiting options!! Katie was our server and she was attentive and excellent at her recommendations as well. read more

I mean, if you run out of your signature cut, don't expect us to rescue you in our review. Instead we had the ribeye which was... not great for the price. The moral of this story - if your name is Delmonico Grill, don't run out of the Delmonico steak. Especially if you're serving New Yorker's looking for a taste of home... read more

Bread was delicious. Steak was amazing, as was the burger and fries! Brussel sprouts were equally delicious. Best meal we had during our short stay in Rapid City. read more

Everything. The worst $85 ribeye I've ever had, it took 55 minutes to get. Ordered medium rare it was well done on one side to the point that it was grey. 16 oz and 10 of that was fat and grizzle. The maître D acted like he didn't really care, I'm not sure if he even spoke English. read more

Nice steak restaurant in downtown Rapid City. The meal was good and arrived timely. The service was great. No complaints here.

We stumbled into this restaurant to get out of the cold and flurries. We had a great experience. Ryan took fantastic care of us. I had French Onion soup and crab cakes with white wine. The food was wonderful. They have a new chef from NY. My husband had Lobster Bisque and the Elk medallions which he loves and he is a picky eater!! read more

Server was overall not friendly, everything was very slow. They were out of all dry aged meats. We made a reservation for 6 and didn't get our food until almost 7:30. Food was dry, unevenly cooked, and very poorly seasoned. Highly do not recommend. Also uncharged $3 for asparagus that I wouldn't feed my dog. read more

Service was fantastic. But food was weak. Lots of fat on steak and on pork. Expensive too for such poor quality food. Very limited selection too. read more

We were running about 10 mins late due to traffic coming from the Crazy Horse Monument... We were a little "hangry" from being out and about all day. The waitress, wine, and food were good. The waitress quickly served our drinks and answered any questions about the menu. We had the Cauliflower Steak with Succotash-Stuffed Avocado as a starter... this is a vegetarian entree, but I wanted to try it plus have a steak. This was a huge plate of food and all the flavors complimented each other perfectly. I had the Dolphin Street ribeye and my wife had salmon. Everything was wonderful. read more

Service and management issues. Took an hour to get served bread and salad/soup. 3/4 steaks cooked appropriately with good sides. Steaks were flavorful. However, the die aged ribeye, $100, wa overcooked and my family had finished all their food and the replacement steak still never made it. Canceled the order and ate my family's leftovers. The manager did apologize and offered us dessert. However, after all that they charged us for the dessert and only took off the steak I never got. Really poor form and not reflective of a higher end restaurant they purport to be. Wouldn't recommend it or ever go back. read more

We are locals who go to Delmonico Grill 2-3 times per year. We were celebrating my husband's birthday on a Tuesday evening. Although the food was great, per usual, we were very disappointed in the service. Our salads and bread took 35 minutes to be served. We had to ask for a water refill. The waiter seemed uninterested in making our experience "the best". We finally skipped the dessert and went elsewhere. They had a party of 35 upstairs in their event room, and we figure they were having issues organizing it. Service to the individual customers suffered as a result. read more

Possibly the classiest affordable dining in RC. We have had both lunch and dinner here. The servers and food are top notch. Ambuance is warm and laid back. read more

Delmonico Grill - The $10 steak burger is coupled with a $10 full-sized bowl of French Onion soup for a $20 meal. - Steakhouses Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

My soup - French onion - was good and so was my salad but I had a crab cake and it tasted funny and not funny haha.

First off, a couple of years ago we had several very nice dinners here. Upon our return to Rapid City, we were looking forward to another lovely meal. Besides our waitress who was very nice and efficient, our food was not up to the level the prices dictated. We ordered the scallop appetizer for $25 and were served 2 scallops....OK. My husband ordered the dry aged rib eye for $100 and I got the wet aged rib eye. We both ordered the garlic mashed potatoes which were so thin, they could almost be soup. My husband ordered his steak med. rare and it was medium. My steak was very thin. On top of that, the bill came with a 3 1/2 % "living wage surcharge". Neither of us remember seeing that on the menu. We've dined at 5 star restaurants across the country and feel the value is definitely not what it used to be. We won't be back. read more

Service was great. Food was so delicious. The ice cream and cake was devine. We had the coffee crusted steak. The flavor really came through. My only regret was not getting the meat medium. We got it medium well, it makes a difference. My apologies to the "well done" crowd. It was a very romantic ambiance. Very very nice. read more

Had a decent dinner. My rib eye steak was good. My date had Salmon it was cold and mediocre at best ( I told her to not order Salmon at a steak place. The Waitress was ok I asked her for some guidance on what steak is better? She said it depends on what you feel like hummmmmm not very helpful!!! read more

The effort was there. Went for an anniversary date, I knew it was pricey. However, I think I need to address the lobster roll ($35). I have never had a lobster roll so I asked a coworker from Maine if I can trust it. I learned that the seafood is from a well established business that has fresh seafood daily. I was excited to try a traditional lobster roll. Unfortunately, I could not taste the lobster itself. Instead I tasted nothing but a strange "lemon/lime miracle whip?" sauce. So overpowering. Nothing but acidity and although the bun was 10/10, it couldn't break the sauce. The amount of lobster was great, I just couldn't taste it. In my opinion the chef should do less and let the quality of the food do the talking. Solution: same bun, lobster and a bit of mayo, butter, side of lemon. Say less is more sometimes. read more

Excellent food & good service. Still very pricey .. at $72 for a filet. Waitress was very attentive. read more

Two votes were so-so. My scallops appetizer was delicious. The char-grilled caesar was not charred and nothing to talk about. Wish I could give it a better review, but probably will not return. read more

Pretentious wait staff, avoid this place. Arrived nearly an hour before closing, staff stared at me at the hostess stand. No service, just stood there and looked at me for 3-5 minutes until I walked out. Place was empty, not like they were too busy to help. Check my Yelp record, I don't give poor reviews. This was foul. read more

2 stars is a little bit of a stretch but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. A fine dining steak house that doesn't know what a Cosmopolitan is should have been the first clue. Cheese plate was good. Took forever to get our salads. Wedge was good after paying extra for blue cheese and bacon lardons. Server came back to say they were out of baked potatoes. Not sure how that happens at a steak house in the mid west. Dinner took another 45 minutes to arrive. Server kept blaming it on the kitchen. $109 Delmonico steak was medium instead of medium rare as ordered and super dry. Friend's filet ordered rare was medium and dry. Mashed potatoes were oily and flavorless. Total dinner took 2.5 hours. Despite server saying she'd comp us some items all we got was a mediocre creme brûlée for free Manager never came to the table once. If I'm Rapid City, try someplace different. read more

Service certainly makes a big difference! On The active Friday night when we reserved the table, the restaurant was full. That was a good sign to start. Our server Caleb came over right away, and I could just feel that his attention was going to make this a pleasant evening. I had the French onion soup and ribeye steak with asparagus, and my wife had the prime rib with a wedge salad. Both meals were very tasty, and we'd certainly revisit this restaurant if we lived in the area. We enjoyed it so much that we took a piece of cheesecake to go, which we enjoyed a few hours later. Overall it is a bit higher priced than most restaurants, but for our experience, the price point of about $90 per person all-in including appetizers, dinners, dessert, drinks and tips/tax made this a reasonable value. read more
