    Came here for the very first time during restaurant week. $60 for 3 courses had a lot of people attending as the restaurant was packed at 5:30pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Didn't realise how big the restaurant was - we were seated in a back room behind the bar - had a nice ambience to it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The restaurant week menu offered a variety of options. I opted to pay $10 supplement and went for the Maine crab cake. No regrets there at all. It was so good. One of the best crab cakes I've had. For appz, we all ordered the steak which came with a brocolli and some mash. It was delicious, a bit on the undercooked side but otherwise good. My only complaint here is the portion sizes differ between three people attending. No consistency. My husband got the rib eye for $35 extra. He got it medium rare and it came rare. The waiter was apologetic and took it back. Desserts were great - got another up charge for the baked Alaska. Worth it to see the theatrics. All in all it was a good experience. I would recommend paying in cash if possible as it was an extra $20 on a $500 something meal to put it on credit card.

    The service was really good, I had a great waiter who was knowledgeable about wine pairings to your meal. For an appetizer, I got the caramelized bacon, which was really delicious. For my entrée, I got the signature Delmonico Ribeye and it was really bad. The cut of meat I had I believe bad - super chewy, medium but was a tough cut, fatty. Just overall a pretty bad experience for their "signature" cut of meat. And for my dessert, I had the chocolate symphony - not really a huge fan of dessert but it was about a 6. Overall pretty overpriced for a seemingly mediocre steak experience. I'm truly disappointed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also one last mention other patrons and I were swatting gnats the WHOLE dinner experience. Not cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I like eggs benedict. So naturally, I had to try the restaurant where it was invented! I even brushed up on YouTube to see how it's made here! We started off sharing the crab cake. Oh my! It's quite possibly the best crab cake I've ever had. No filler, just a ton of sweet, succulent crab encased in a fried potato string pouch. I ordered the eggs benedict, of course. That bernaise sauce is just...wow! It's what really sets their eggs Benedict apart from everyone else's. I also liked the brioche versus the English muffin. I do wish they offered a half order because it is very rich, and also I'd also like to have room to try other items on the menu. The fiancé got the steak frites. Cooked a perfect medium rare, the steak had a good "beef" flavor. They really seasoned it minimally to allow the natural flavors to shine through. Another Delmonico's invention: we couldn't leave without the baked Alaska. Very banana forward and more on the sweeter side than we usually like. Glad we tried it, but wouldn't crave that one in the future. My boo literally had a two martini lunch: the first, an Olive martini, the second, a Delmonico's martini. He found the "Delmonico's" online and when he ordered it they brought him out a second Olive martini. When we inquired about it, the "Delmonico's" is an old recipe that was swapped out a few years ago (gin and vermouth), so be specific if that's what you're after! The service was very good here. The only "Ick" was there was a dead fly on our plate when we were first seated. I told one of the staff and they changed it right away. Delmonico's is America's first fine dining restaurant. Over 150 years strong! I think they know a thing or two about great food and excellent service.

    Potatoes! Yum

    Great spot- we sat at the bar and the food was magnifique! Perfect for later NY dinner vibes. Recommend making a reservation- we went on a Tuesday and it was packed!

    Maine Crab Cake

    14 years later and I've come back for a restaurant week deal. I paid $35 14 years ago and inflation now brings us to $60 for a dinner menu. Still completely worth it. I've upped the rating to 5 stars 14 years later and now have photos to show for it. As someone who has gestation diabetes and is slightly anemic this restaurant week menu was perfect for me. The appetizer was a caramelized bacon but I asked for it to have no caramelization. It came out 5 minutes later and was substantial and tasty even without the caramelization. My partner had the Maine crab cake for an additional supplement of $10. He said that was the most crab he's ever seen in a crab cake. Needless to say he enjoyed it. The entree I had the New York strip steak with Pomme Purée, Broccolini, Sauce Verte. I asked for it well done as that's my current situation and it probably came out slightly under well done. I ate it nonetheless, and no issues a few days later. I started with the steak and then the broccolini and dabbled a bit with the pomme puree (limiting myself because of GD). The steak was absolutely divine with the sauce verte. The only con was I wish I had more sauce! The broccolini was also nicely done - no bitterness and the perfect crunch. The pomme purée was just wow. I was only able to have a few bites but this was the most flavorful mashed potato I've ever had. You cannot go wrong with this dish, especially with no additional surcharge. My partner had the wagyu, but it didn't look as appealing as mine. It only came out as a steak with no sides. He said he enjoyed it though. He had to then separately order a side of broccolini and that was good in the restaurant but not microwaved a few days later. The dessert we had the cheesecake and chocolate mousse. The cheesecake was for me and was the more practical option for someone with GD. I allowed myself one bite and packed the rest for home. It was so very satisfying. The berries and the cake were perfect. I pricked my finger an hour later and since my levels were optimal, I allowed myself another 3 bites when I got home. The mousse seemed good as well. Overall, my levels stayed well below 140 and I was so very satisfied with this meal. The service was also excellent. We had the sweetest server who was very accommodating.

    5 star service. It's the oldest steak house in NYC. (Also fun fact they did some filming for John wick here) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dimly lit speak easy vibes in the bar area, which we loved.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Delmonico Eye is a solid choice, as well as the filet. Caesar salad is easily the BEST Caesar I've ever had, and I've probably had over 1,000 in my lifetime. The crab cake is out of this world. Kevin was our server, he was a delight. This will be a new frequent spot for us.

    Maine Crab Cake

    From the moment we walked in, everyone was welcoming, and we were seated right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Spacious seating and well lit for lunch time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server, Kevin, was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. We started with the crab cake. Crab cakes can be hit or miss, but this one was a hit. The crab wasn't overpowering, and the seasoning on the crispy outside was just right. I ordered the sirloin, and my husband had the ribeye. Both steaks had a perfect sear, were seasoned really well, and were incredibly tender. The mashed potatoes were just as good. For dessert, we couldn't pass up the Baked Alaska. The banana sorbet inside was such a nice surprise, and the sweetness paired perfectly with the toasted meringue. My husband also ordered the Chocolate Symphony, and if you're a chocolate lover, this dessert is for you. Such a great experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be back--and next time, I'm trying the famous Delmonico burger!

    Great steakhouse. We started in the bar with a few cocktails. Bar service was great. Our bartender answered a few questions and even gave us some dinner recommendations. We ordered crab cakes, Cesar salad, and steak tartare for our appetizer. The crab cakes were more crab than cake. It was very crabby and delicious. The tartare was also very good. Although there was more potato than steak pieces, it was still very tasty. The Cesar salad was very good as well. Whole leaf baby Romain lightly tossed and with whole pickled anchovies. Yum. For our entrees, we ordered the porterhouse for 2, pea risotto, filet mignon, Brussels sprouts, and pomme purée. Everything was cooked to perfection. Our meat temperature was perfect. Porterhouse was served on a sizzling plate and was also pre sliced for us to share. The filet mignon was also pre sliced. We ordered the baked Alaska for dessert. The banana in that really shined and was very tasty. Typical classic steakhouse in an intimate setting. Highly recommend.

    SO good. I was actually on my way to another restaurant when I walked past Delmonico's. I debated on going in, but what a delicious decision it was. It was packed, but fortunately, they found me a table by the bar. The service by EVERYONE that came by my table was impeccable. VERY nice, respectful, and helpful. They truly understand customer service and it shows. As for the food, it was amazing. I ordered the Burrata appetizer and the Signature Delmonico Ribeye, and the Prime Rib Sandwich. The Burrata not only tasted great, it was beautifully plated. Seriously, it was gorgeous. As for the ribeye, it was perfectly cooked and was delicious!! Juicy, tender, and so full of flavor. I wish I had time to go back for another meal, but unfortunately I did not. This place is a definite must for me, should I be back in NY.

    Had a lovely meal here on a whim. Was in the area and last minute said let's try Delmonico's. Haven't been here in a few years and it was just as good as I remembered. Didn't have reservations and hostess was very accommodating offering two seats at the bar. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar was awesome.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our bartender was super friendly and made amazing drinks and kicked off a great conversation throughout the meal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The venue was busy for a Tuesday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar was lively and customers and staff were all friendly and engaging in random conversations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was excellent. The bar service was outstanding. Caesar salad and the yellowtail crudo was delightful and beautifully presented. We shared the wagyu strip with steak fries and we devoured the meal. Steak was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. We left full and satisfied and will be back again.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came here with the boys on a weekend evening and let me just say this steakhouse is huge. Multiple floors and rooms as they own the whole building I believe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were seated downstairs via reservation. We had 2 orders of the bacon, 3 steaks, 2 orders of mash and 2 orders of cream spinach. Everything was GREAT, steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the sides complimented it very well as well as their sauces. This place does get packed so I'd recommend a reservation. Also pricey as well but that's all steakhouses tbh.

    Love the Delmonico's personalized plates
    Reva R.

    YES!! you should make a reservation if for no other reason than because there is important, fine dining restaurant history right here, inside (& outside) Delmonico's, located on Beaver Street in downtown Manhattan, Steps from famous Wall Street. Steps from the famous huge bull sculpture on Wall Street. I mentioned the historical outside because I read in an article somewhere that when the restaurant first opened, people would rub the pillars that are outside by the entrance for good luck. Started in 1837, Delmonico's has a storied history and you are able to see some of it on display inside the restaurant. Photos and memorabilia from the early, early days. And for that reason alone, you should dine here. Mark Twain celebrated his 70th birthday here and you can see artwork on the wall depicting that. Delmonico's created several very famous, beloved dishes ...For example, the dessert called baked Alaska. And other dishes you may be familiar with. Please, See their website. By the way, 1837 is the same year that Tiffany & Co started. What a time!! Can you imagine!? I enjoyed WINTER RESTAURANT WEEK 2026!! I had lunch on my first visit to Delmonico's. I ordered the Maine Crab Cake (+$10) Mmm, I enjoyed this dish, see my photos. It is an artful dish. A Maine crab cake enrobed in yummy, crispy, shredded potatoes. Mmm!! What's not to like!?!?!!! LOL My entree was Filet Mignon. Loved the accompanying whipped potatoes. (See photo) . I'd rate this filet mignon itself 4 stars, only because it was not as soft as I'm used to when I order filet mignon. I was looking forward to that yummy, almost melt-in-your-mouth-softness, but, alas it was not there. I was surprised (and disappointed). It was good, not spectacular. It was deliciously seasoned. My 3rd course, THE FAMOUS DELMONICO'S BAKED ALASKA (+$10). A MUST!!! See my video!! On a very cold winter's day, I appreciated the warm welcome when I entered the restaurant and that was thanks to the two women at the Hostess station. When I left, no one said anything. Nothing at all. (Almost comical, but not). And there was plenty of restaurant, staff and management by the door. A missed opportunity, to be sure. Ideally, you want your patron to leave on an up note level and the goodbye is part two of the welcome. Toward the end of my late lunch, I saw the next shift of servers (upcoming dinner time) arranging beautiful place settings on tables and sometimes adding a chair or two to a large round table. I was very impressed with the care that I saw from each of those servers setting those tables and arranging things on the table. It was obvious the staff I was watching cared deeply about having things just right, perfect. Seeing this reminded me of the fine dining establishments I've had the pleasure of visiting. Kudos to that evening staff caring about setting those tables just right. That was great to see. I loved where I was seated in a beautiful blue cozy booth type table. Apparently there was going to be a shift change... so my first server was very attentive and I appreciated that very much; he was professional and kind. I missed him when I experienced the second server; although he walked by my table several times he was initially not attentive. In any business, There is usually room for improvement. I would respectfully suggest that Delmonico's reminds servers when they're walking by a table to keep their eyes open all around, not just in one direction because at least twice the second server walked by my table, looking away from my table with his back toward my table, never turned his head to see if I needed anything and of course I did so it was frustrating to have him walk by twice. I was not going to call out, simply because that would have ruined my restaurant experience. Delmonico's is beautiful inside and I wanted to keep that ambience and that's why I did not say excuse me hello ... I just figured eventually my server would walk by and look at my table and eventually he did, and I took that opportunity to have a respectful chat with this server so that he was aware that twice he had walked by my table and not even looked in my direction. He was respectful and he heard what I had to say and the next time he walked by what do you think happened? He looked at my table, smiled, I smiled, too, and that's when I ordered my pot of tea which I enjoyed. From then on, things were fine. See my photos. As part of Delmonico's history, you will see photos on the walls. I enjoyed this. If Delmonico's gave a tour of the restaurant I'd sign up for that. But I can tell you there is a bar area that's lovely , and the nearby, single person restroom was lovely and clean. I believe There are some private dining rooms, too. Make a reservation! You can take the 4 or 5 train to the Wall Street stop, then walk toward the famous Wall Street Bull sculpture, and turn onto BEAVER STREET, and you are steps from Delmonico's.

    I went to delmonicos for restaurant week, and they had a really great deal. For $60 each we got an app, main, and dessert. There is an upcharge for certain specialty items but overall it's much more affordable than coming outside of restaurant week. The place is a historic institution with great service and a lot of seating. For drinks, we got the lychee martini and a purple gin drink. I don't remember the name and can't find it on the website but the purple one was my favorite. For apps, we tried the Caesar salad and the thick cut bacon. The bacon is a must have, delmonicos does it so well. The Caesar salad has small roe mixed through it so if you don't like seafood maybe skip that one! For mains, the restaurant week menu had their filet mignon and then the ribeye was available for $33 extra. The ribeye is their specialty so we tried it, but personally I liked the filet more! It had a great sauce on it. Both steaks were perfectly done. For dessert we had chocolate cake and cheesecake. Both were great but I especially liked the cheesecake. Overall, everything was so well done. Great place for a special occasion

    I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about Brooklyn Chop House, but honestly, I can't relate because…read moreevery time I've gone, I've had a good experience. I usually get the wonton soup with the jiaozi dumplings, and it's one of my favorite things on the menu. I haven't really seen that combination anywhere else, and I think it's really unique and really good. They also have a great happy hour. I'm not the biggest fan of the wings, but the shrimp and lobster roll is definitely worth trying. The service has always been good when I've visited, and the atmosphere is always a vibe. It's close to the Theater District, so it's a great spot to grab dinner before or after a show. There's usually a nice crowd, and you might even bump into an actor or celebrity. Overall, it's a place I keep coming back to because the food is consistently good, the service has been solid, and the overall experience is always enjoyable.

As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by a lovely lady whose name I unfortunately didn't get. We were seated immediately at a beautiful booth that was incredibly comfortable. The bathroom was also spotless and very well maintained, which is always a nice reflection of how much a restaurant cares about the details. We ordered a cocktail called the VIP. Our server, Erik, knew we were planning to share it, and he thoughtfully had the drink served in two separate glasses. Such a small gesture, but it showed just how attentive he was to our needs. The cocktail was refreshing and delicious. The hospitality was truly exceptional. Omar, the Assistant General Manager, checked on us throughout the meal and made sure everything was perfect. Erik was equally wonderful--extremely attentive, welcoming, and professional. He made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the entire meal.

I started with the crab cake, followed by the Pan Roasted Arka salmon, and finished with cheesecake for dessert. Hubby had the wagyu meatballs, filet mignon, and butter cake. We also added the tuna tartare as an appetizer and creamed spinach as a side. Every dish was outstanding. Everything was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. We left extremely happy and satisfied. It was another wonderful dining experience, and we'll definitely be back again!

    A Birthday Dinner That Felt Like a Scene From a New York Movie…read more We chose Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse for my birthday dinner because we wanted something special--not just a good meal, but a real New York moment. And the moment we walked in, I thought, yes... this is exactly where a birthday should happen. The restaurant is absolutely stunning. The high ceilings, dramatic staircase, rich wood, elegant details, and huge dining room made everything feel grand and glamorous. It had the classic energy of an American steakhouse, but with a modern and luxurious New York style. Then I noticed the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows. Honestly, the glass was so perfectly clean that I almost forgot there was glass there at all. For a second, it felt like the entire city was simply open in front of us. I was strangely impressed by this because giant windows in a busy city are not always this spotless. But here, they were crystal clear, and the New York view became part of our dinner. We sat looking out at the city, ordered wine, and began my birthday celebration. Then, as if someone had carefully planned the scene, a sudden rain shower started outside. Perfect timing. There we were, sitting inside this beautiful restaurant, watching the rain fall over New York through the giant windows, drinking delicious wine, eating incredible food, and celebrating my birthday with my family. It felt less like dinner and more like a scene from a movie. The wine was wonderful, and every dish we ordered was delicious. The oysters were fresh and clean-tasting. The burrata was creamy, soft, and beautiful with the tomatoes. The warm bread arrived shiny with butter and was dangerously good--the kind of bread that makes you say, "I'm only having one," and then suddenly the basket is empty. The fish entrée was beautifully prepared, and the steak was exactly what I hoped for. It had a deeply seared, flavorful crust on the outside while staying tender and juicy inside. This was not the kind of steak you quietly eat. This was the kind of steak that makes everyone at the table stop talking for a moment. That silence was the review. Everything tasted carefully prepared, and the ingredients felt fresh and high quality. There was not one disappointing dish on the table. At the end of dinner, they brought out a lovely birthday dessert with strawberries, pink cream, a candle, and a "Happy Birthday" chocolate decoration. It was sweet, pretty, and the perfect ending to the evening. The beautiful interior, the sparkling wine, the city view, the sudden rain, the excellent food, and my family celebrating together made the entire night unforgettable. I went there expecting a nice birthday dinner. Instead, I received a full New York birthday movie scene--with steak. I would absolutely return the next time I visit New York. Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse is a wonderful choice for a birthday, anniversary, romantic dinner, or any occasion when an ordinary meal simply is not enough.

    My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

Service was good. We had the fried chicken Benedict and the crab cake Benedict. I was a bit confused when I saw that each Benedict dish only had one poached egg - shouldn't it always be two? I guess that's shrinkflation (plus inflation) for you. That bent said, the crab cake was actually really big and filling. The side of potatoes were really delicious. Would I come back for brunch again? Very unlikely. But, it does seem like a pretty "safe choice" if you need a last minute reservation for a group.

    I really liked the ambiance. The music was good and not too loud. I didn't even need to wear…read moreearplugs, as I often do these days to protect me from getting much worse migraines. I sat at the bar, since it was only me, but tho the bar wasn't busy and service was friendly, it was very slow. The food was wonderful! I'm glad I made the choices I did, tho of course nothing I wanted was included in the happy hour specials. The fried calamari was some of the best I've had tho it was observed with a little bit of cocktail sauce and a huge thing of tartar sauce. I'm sure I could have gotten more cocktail sauce, since I don't like tartar sauce, but it wasn't necessary. The calamari was so good. The lobster bisque was delicious and the picture can't show you that it was full of lobster. There was a LOT more lobster than a lobster bisque normally contains and the price was about normal for a lobster bisque with one tiny piece of lobster. The iced tea was a bit out of control. If I'm going to be charged $5 per glass of iced tea, that glass should be larger than the ones they use AND not 90% ice. That much for a glass of ice with a splash of iced tea is extreme. I'd still return, since the food was wonderful and hopefully I just got unlucky with the service.

    My group and me order meatballs, the classic burger, and the fillet. Everything was deliciously…read morebuttery but never too over powering with its flavors. Everything came out in a couple minutes or less. The size of the restaurant created a cozy and comfortable environment along with that the light created a soothing atmosphere.
