| - Another large group dinner with the co-workers, this time we selected Delmonico Steakhouse. Wow, I am impressed. This is what I call classy. I didn't even realize this was an Emeril Lagasse restaurant until I examined the doggie bag afterward!
The food is top notch, I ordered the butternut squash ravioli (sans duck confit) and the wild arugula w/ raspberries. Both dishes were just the right size (not too big, not too small), beautifully presented, perfectly seasoned and dressed, and absolutely delicious.
We ordered and shared the green apple crisp a la mode for dessert, I might have loved it more if I was still hungry, but I was so stuffed that I couldn't properly enjoy it. Note to self: next time, dessert first!
Literally, there was not a single bite leftover from anyone's plate.
In regards to the service, our server Jen was such a sweetheart, she seemed like a friend right from the start. Not too intrusive, but relaxed and attentive. Very accommodating and down to earth.
Must try items: Homemade potato chips with parmesan, truffle oil and scallions. I was stuffing my face like no tomorrow and scraping the plate clean...The warm dinner rolls w/ butter...They smelled SO buttery! Lastly, the corn gratin, the panko topping was so crispy, it was unreal, the gratin underneath was hot, steamy, and sweet from the crisp fresh corn. SOOO GOOOD!
All in all, this place was expensive, but none of the staff had to overdo it to impress us, the atmosphere, food and service spoke for itself, so it was worth every penny.
LOVE
