    Petite Filet Mignon
    Sonali P.

    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

    Love the Delmonico's personalized plates

    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.

    We checked this place out for dinner recently and really enjoyed it. The building is really cool, with a lot of history. Definitely worth reading up on, especially all of the dishes that allegedly started at Delmonico's. We had a cozy little two-top table in a smaller dining past the main bar. Our server was friendly but overall, our service was pretty slow. We both enjoyed our glasses of wine and the yellowtail crudo appetizer. The complimentary sourdough and corn bread had good flavor, especially with the butter with Hawaiian salt. My wife ordered the 10oz filet and I ordered the 12oz Delmonico eye. Both were cooked perfectly. The Delmonico potatoes were excellent. It took a little while to get the check, so while we waited for it, my wife went to the coat check to get our coats. As I was getting up to leave, the server brought us a scoop of ice cream with a chocolate that read "Happy Anniversary." That was a nice touch even though we were already leaving. We would definitely check this place out again to try more menu items.

    Came here for my birthday celebration with friends on a Sunday. We were seated promptly and since it's restaurant week, we all got the restaurant week menu with the signature Delmonico's steak and various appetizers and desserts. We also got lychee martinis and a bottle of red wine. The martinis are quite strong but the flavor is nice with hints of rose and lychee. I got the crab cake as an app while my friends got the crudo, bacons, and burrata and all hit. The presentation and the flavor of the crab cake is amazing, with a massive portion. The Delmonico steaks lived up to its name. The steak is tender and juicy, and the side mashed potato and spinach added a nice balance. The only thing was it's too massive at 18 oz and we could not finish. It's my first time getting the baked Alaska. It's a fun dessert with banana, peach, and apricot elements. It's also huge. My friend got the chocolate mousse and the cheesecake those were delicious too. The only thing that could be improved is that the service seemed rushed, both our waitress and the staff serving the dishes. Not sure if it's bc they were trying to turn tables quickly. Overall it's a solid steakhouse with great food.

    A new York institution and not to be missed. I most recently visited for restaurant week but have been before. Inside the ambience is exactly what you'd expect from a New Yorker restaurant - it's bustling with wall streeters, date nights and all sorts of people were watching. The crab cake and bacon are the stars of the appetizer menu and for mains you have to get the steak! The baked Alaska was invented in Delmonicos as a tribute to the state of Alaska and it's a good desert to share with a strong banana ice cream flavor. The service was great and attentive.

    I went to Delmonicos for the first time about a week ago and had such a lovely time and meal with my best friend who was in town celebrating her birthday and our major career win. They went above and beyond to make it all special :). We got to take advantage of restaurant week with 1 app, 1 main, and 1 dessert for about $60 which was such a steal. My friend got the winter soup an I got the burrata and both were delicious, though the burrata was quite light and not super filling as compared to the winter soup, which I wish I got. For mains, we both got the filet minion and it was one of the best steaks I'd ever had. Amazing meal, though the portion of everything felt a hair small -- I suppose that was due to the deal? For dessert, I got the cheesecake which was good, but nothing too wild. Just a simple, fluffy vibe with a very hard crust. My friend got the baked Alaska (which was invented at Delmonico's in the 1800s!) and was a stellar dessert with banana flavor and richness. Super interesting! The staff were so friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was stunning. Definitely a place for celebrations and fancy energy. I'll be back!

    Had dinner with my family after a Broadway show. The last time I was here was about 10 years ago. I used to work on Liberty for many years and it was nice to stop by for dinner. We were a party of 7. The appetizers were good. The bacon and the crab cake. We also did the wedge salad and it was good. The porter house was good, but not how I remembered. My sister in law's steak was not cooked right. The sides- cream spinach, brussels sprouts, and hash were good. The staff were friendly and the decor still has that flare, but the food was just ok.

    So this was actually our 3rd choice after the first 2 were fully booked and impossible to get a reservation so we "settled" for delmonico'a as they had a "reasonable" reservation time available. We arrived timely and were directed downstairs to a table in the middle of the brightly lit room...I politely asked for a table in a quieter area as I wanted to enjoy a quiet meal with my children who were visiting for the holidays. Thankfully they moved us to a back room with warm lighting and quieter atmosphere. The thing I have to say about the food is that everything was amazing! Special note for the fish entree that our son's fiancée ordered was apparently one of the best fish dishes hubby ever had. This steak house will no longer be a third choice restaurant for us!

    All these years and I can't believe I've forgotten to review Delmonico's! I've been here quite a few times, including back when I lived a few blocks away on Hanover Sq, and I don't think I've ever had a single bad meal here. Let me just say two things: the yellowtail crudo is both the best crudo and the best yellowtail dish I've ever had. And if you've never had their famous baked Alaska before, be sure to try it once in your life before it's too late!

    What an incredible and beautiful spot. This forerunner for ALL fine dining in America is a must while making one reservations within the isle of manhattan. The wedge salad was so well presented and the kind staff that accompanied it. So many kind people and everyone knew the menu inside and out. I recommend THE Delamonico's Burger (Medium Rare) while paired with a solid Syrah. I recommend ending the meal with one of this restaurants inventions. A Baked Alaska. Which was formerly known as a Hawaiian Alaskan due to the heated flambé exterior and frozen interior celebrating both climates of both at the time newly acquired states to the Union at the time. Delmonico's is also responsible for creating Chicken A La Keen, Lobster Newburg and Eggs Benedict. Also, a smart hack is to get the right-when-they-open 12noon Lunch Reservation, this way you an be in this beautiful dining room before its gets buys and honor all the art and decor throughout. We opted to by the cookbook signed by Max Tucci. Our magnificent hostess named Paradise was impeccable with her communication and Sonal our server was wonderful. Also the GM has one of the best tied ties in New York! Viva La Full Windsor Knot! Next time I would love to see the wine cellar if they will let me. Such history and one of the reasons dining in our amazing country is phenomenal. Enjoy! and Bon Appetite!

    If you're looking to feel fancy and spend an evening downtown, having an impressive dinner at Delmonico's was a great spot to enjoy. Walking in you immediately feel the elegant ambience with high ceilings, large groups of tables and very attentive weight staff. I was a bit disappointed when as of party of two we were seated all the way in the back room. I wouldn't say it's as nice as the front room, but still felt dark, cozy and intimate. We ended up ordering A LOT of food and the staff was kind enough to inform us that since it wouldn't all fit at our table at the same time, they would split it up into different courses for us. THE FOOD: We started with a seafood platter that had a lovely dramatic presentation. The seafood was fresh but I think I learned that cold unseasoned seafood isn't really my thing. I would save my money on this and get a more curated seafood dish on their menu. Continuing on the appetizer as we had the crab cake, yellowtail tartare, and bacon. I was very excited about the famous bacon but honestly, I would pass on that next time it wasn't as impressive. One of my favorite bites of the night was the yellowtail tartare. And I think that is owed to The new head of chef who is incorporating all these lovely Asian flavors into the traditional steakhouse. The crabcake was also not your traditional crabcake. It was packed with crab on the inside with a crunchy potato string on the outside. It was really lovely. For entrées, we shared the lobster Newburgh and lamb chops. Lamb chops were unbelievable also a top bite of the night. I think my expectations for the lobster were very high, but it was not necessarily my favorite and the crispy rice that comes with it was pretty terrible in my opinion. For our steak, we shared the Wagyu cote de beuof, it was a fine steak, presented extravagantly, the spinach side dish was delicious. Finally, I urge you not to skip out on dessert --- the baked Alaska and the cheesecake are to die for. I couldn't pick a favorite. All the flavors were on point. I enjoyed a fancy night out here, but I probably wouldn't come back anytime soon unless I had someone to impress that really wanted to go to a steakhouse

    An old-school fave, that's even fun on a Monday! We came here during restaurant week and I accidentally showed up an hour early so I got the most delicious martini at the bar while I waited for my partner. The decor and ambiance were spectacular, and the staff was lovely. I highly recommend coming during Restaurant Week - it's a fantastic deal, and you get to try more things for way less. We got the crab cake, bacon (TOO delicious), ribeye, filet (Eye), hash browns, chocolate symphony, and the famous baked alaska. Everything was scrumptious and I'd definitely order everything again. More of a special occasion place, but if you want somewhere where you won't be disappointed, go to Delmonico's!

    Living within walking distance of this great American institution feels like winning the neighborhood lottery. I love everything about Delmonico's. I often drop into the bar for what might be one of the greatest gin martinis on the planet--perfectly chilled, perfectly made, every time. For special occasions, the main dining room is my go-to: fresh, briny raw oysters and a spectacular steak that never disappoints. The service is always warm, polished, and genuinely attentive without ever feeling stuffy. Classic, elegant, and consistently excellent--Delmonico's is a true New York treasure.

    Myself and friends seated.

We had a 7:00 PM curtain and chose this spot partly because of its reputation for getting theatergoers in and out efficiently. Our reservation was for 5:30 PM, though we were not seated until about 6:00 PM, so I would recommend allowing at least two hours before showtime just to be safe. Once seated, however, the evening flowed seamlessly. Service was prompt and professional, cocktails arrived quickly (and were excellent), and the food did not disappoint. We shared the Italian salad and a pasta entrée -- both were delicious, and the portions were enormous. We ended up leaving about half.

Dishes are all served family-style with huge portions for 2-4. We did ask for a bread basket, which had an array of plain white, cheesy, and marinara topped bread. The chicken parmesan was sliced really then and covered with a generous layer of mozzarella. We paired with broccoli, which was sauteed and super garlicy. Both were more than plenty for two people. We planned on having leftover parm, but it was too delicious. We saw another table with the Titanic dessert, and we were jealous but too stuffed. Maybe next time! Despite the crowd, service was great and the bathrooms were clean. The food came quickly and was all delicious. This is a great place the larger your party size so you can try a little bit of everything.

Our server, Ganni, truly made the evening special. He was attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He recommended a wine that paired perfectly with our meal, which made the dining experience even better. They also went out of their way to celebrate my birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the night even more memorable. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for excellent food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back!

The service was great,…read morestarted with solid house bread & appetizers like the jumbo shrimp cocktail (good), grilled octopus (good), bacon (tough and not sweet enough like at Strip House), so a mixed start, but they were very patient and also held our table for a little longer than the normal 15min wait as we were late due to traffic. The bone-in ribeye steak was just ok (dry-aged, bone-in ribeye was tough and gristly with a lot of sinew in my cut - unexpected for a good cut of what should be well-marbled meat). Asparagus on the greasy side. Lavender creme brulée was good, though, really could taste the lavender hint over the creamy custard with just the right hint of a crunchy sugar melted on top. Overall, a good service experience, just a bit tough that my steak didn't meet expectations. My dining companion had a great grilled branzino, though - that looked amazing. Will have to try that next time or the bolognese (next table over had that, also smelled amazing)!

    Felt lucky to have snagged a last minute reservation on a Saturday night. Arrived on time and was…read morepromptly seated. Waiter Gerard J. was friendly and welcoming. He helped us make the right selection of steak, and appetizer. We were seated with a nice view of the outside promenade. At first glance the dining room didn't seem large but on the trip to the restroom I learned that they can accommodate large groups and have private rooms as well. Restroom was clean and equipped. We ordered the crab cake, 12 oz. filet mignon and lamb chops, and the lemon cake. The crab cake was chocked full of delicious crab meat, not a lot of breading. The steak was flavorful and arrived hot. The double-bone lamb chop entree was enormous, and delicious. It was accompanied by parsnip puree and a mint-pistachio chimichurri, scrumptious!! For my pre-birthday dessert I chose the lemon cake and was delighted to see Gerard had also brought [ME ;) ] us the strawberry Hibiscus cheesecake and I was so happy he did!!! Both were absolutely mouth-watering. This is a great spot pre-Broadway or Radio City, as I could see it from my table!!! Can't wait to go back!!!

The…read moreatmosphere felt upscale but still comfortable, which made it perfect for a special occasion without feeling overly formal. The service stood out right away--attentive, knowledgeable, and well-paced throughout the evening. We never felt rushed, and everything came out at the right time, which made the night feel relaxed and enjoyable. The steaks were cooked exactly how we ordered them--tender, flavorful, and high quality. All of the food had great flavor, and the sides were just as good and easy to share. The only reason this isn't a full 5 stars is that a few small details could have been just a bit tighter. But nothing that took away from the overall experience. Overall, it was a memorable anniversary dinner, and when in Times Square I would definitely visit again.

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.

We did the 3 course pre fixe dinner - had the onion soup, hanger steak and cream brûlée. Amazing! Food and service were superb. And let's not forget the Lavender 75 cocktail which elevated the experience. This dinner was my last during my NYC visit and it was a memorable one.

I made a reservation to be safe, as many restaurants now ask if you did so. This place is quite packed every night so it was the way to go. I came here for dinner post showtime and my son and I over ordered but happily enjoyed everything. I think our eyes are way bigger than our stomachs. Starters: - French onion soup, au gratin, was perfect. Great onion profile and lots of it. Not overly salty so that was good. - Beef tartare, classic French bistro staple, must order this. The portion was quite generous and it was delicious. We couldn't stop eating it. The petite toasts were a nice accompaniment as well as the raddiccio salad - cheese board, IYKYK, I never met a cheese I didn't like. This board was matched with nice pairings. Think grapes, fig jam, and marcona almonds. The cheese were a classic French variety - bleu, comte and brie. For our entrees, my son opted for a sandwich and I got the steak. His croque Madame was really delicious. The bread, the ham, the baked cheese and the fried egg was so savory. Yummy. My steak was a sizeable portion but I purposely ordered the bigger ounces since I know we'd share. Fries are nice and skinny, perfectly seasoned. Our waiter was attentive and I asked for the table next to us given all the food I know we were getting. He was not sure if he could accommodate but I insisted he check with management. They came over and put it together for me. I appreciated that given a table for two, for how much we ordered, it'd never fit. Totally would return. If you like French food, this is a solid spot to try.
