  • Went to Vegas with the husband to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and take that honeymoon that had been postponed for far too long. One of the reasons we booked at the Venetian was to dine at Delmonico Steakhouse. We originally made a reservation for lunch on Sunday but moved it to dinner as the husband was worried lunch service didn't offer all the varieties of steak. Made the mistake of booking for 9 pm on Monday, August 20th. The hotel was packed with a new rush of guests as was the restaurant. Enjoyed a drink in the bar before being seated and were then led to a small table where we were introduced to Josh, our primary server. Josh informed us that we would have 3 servers that evening one of which would be a sommelier. We perused the wine list and then Lamont came over and asked "if anyone had explained the menu" to us - a jarring question in a fine dining establishment. We decided to start with wine by the glass as we didn't want a full bottle at that point. I asked Lamont about a blend on the list -- I inquired as to what was in the blend. He asked me what I meant. I clarified by saying what types of wines are used to make the blend. He rattled off one variety and then said "and I think a Cabernet is in there". Lamont made no offer to explain or recommend any other wines. We ordered two glasses of Malbec, our appetizer and entrees. My husband asked Lamont if he could get a side of garlic butter. Lamont said no - they don't have garlic butter. Really?! This is an Emeril Lagasse restaurant! He asked for a side of plain butter and we sent Lamont on his way. A food runner, or possibly our third server (he never introduced himself), delivered a complimentary appetizer of tuna atop a crostini which I enjoyed but the husband did not. Josh came back with our wines. We inquired as to whether Lamont was the sommelier that Josh had mentioned earlier and he affirmed that he was. We expressed our surprise and disbelief yet Josh did not follow up with any inquiry as to why we asked the question. At this point I had to talk my husband out of storming out of the restaurant. Josh did not alert the floor manager of our question or our discontent. It is unclear if this was because of poor training or due to the staff not being able to handle when the restaurant is full. Our salad with arugula, granny smith apples, prosciutto and champagne vinaigrette arrived and was very tasty. We started to move past the negativity and then waited and waited for our entrees. The husband ordered another glass of Malbec and asked for more bread, which never came. The steaks were quite good but the extra butter was not delivered. The twice baked potato was yummy and the side of mushrooms was divine. The espresso creme brulee and pecan pie desserts were very good and we appreciated the complimentary banana gelato with 'Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate on the plate but it still wasn't enough to make up for the fact that our servers' poor performance ruined an experience we looked forward to for months. I would have given Delmonico Steakhouse one star due to the service but gave it two because of the food. We expected much more. I suggest you go somewhere else. FYI - Delmonico Steakhouse is a large restaurant that seats approximately 100 patrons. The women's restroom has 2 stalls.
