Delmonico's is a nice take on a steak house. It's not a super-special place, but the food is done right, the staff is attentive, and there are some surprises on the menu. I've had better, but there is certainly nothing to fault at this downtown Madison restaurant.
We had the calamari as a starter and holy moly was it good. It's served tossed with a spicy-sweet chili sauce and peanuts. Very tasty. I had the Caeser salad to start my meal and the 6 oz tenderloin diana. Overall, I'd rate the steak a 3-1/2 stars. Although it was cooked perfectly and was as tender as could be, I was not a fan of the Diane sauce. Something was a little strong in it - I don't know if was the mustard or the wine used to deglaze, but it wasn't to my taste. Still, I'd go back here again.
