| - Delmonico's is quite a place. Top-of-the-line decor and flawless service which is to be expected for a top-shelf steakhouse.
I had the Certified Angus 7-ounce cut filet. It was an excellent steak. However, I have made better at home by starting with quality meat from a quality butcher. I'm not complaining, mind you - there was nothing wrong with it; it just did not rock my world.
The mixed greens salad was, on the other hand, awesome. The baked potato was incredible and as large as as softball. Then again, for ten bucks, it had better be incredible.
The service was superb but there was one thing that struck both my business colleague and me as odd: We were served bread and butter (excellent, too). But after having one piece each, before our dinners were brought out, the waiter took the remaining bread and butter way without asking if we were done with it. No big deal, really. But odd.
We did not have wine or other alcoholic beverages. Two dinners with salads and baked potatoes came to a cool hundred bucks.
I would definitely go back and probably try a prime delmonico next time. All-in-all, a very nice experience - just not quite five stars.
