| - My brother in law's birthday required steak...so naturally Delmonico Steakhouse sounded like a great option.
Here's the thing, I love steak, but i'm trying to cut back on being a crazed carnivore. I ordered the half roasted duck (yeah i know it's still meat but it's not red meat...get off my back) and my wife had the halibut. What kind of morons go to a well reviewed steakhouse and don't order steak? Well it's nice to meet you.
My duck was ehh... her fish was ehhh
Had a taste of the ribeye (seriously, shut up...How could I realistically NOT try it?) and wow...REALLY good.
But my rating is only 2 stars you say? Yeah, well my experience was kinda lame...the attentive staff was fine, the prices were completely outrageous even for the strip, and our food was just kinda boring. I didn't think much of it to be honest.
You may be saying... "Well moron, you ordered duck and fish at a steakhouse, what did you expect?" I would then reply "Hey, if it's on the menu, it should be held to the same standards as anything else!". So There! :P
If I do want to pay too much for a really good steak, I know where to go...but y'know, I'm a local and that is rare. (get the pun...nudge nudge...get it?)
What I will say is that it's a classy establishment and they appear to cook a fine slab-o-meat. But i'd steer (I keep doing it!) clear of any non-cow based items. Sorry for the puns!
I'm not really sorry.
