| - My boyfriend and I dined at Delmonico for Christmas. We arrived an hour before our scheduled reservation, as we were walking around the hotel, but did not want to wait till 9 o'clock, the time we had our reservation for. Fortunately, we had no problem getting seated right away.
We started off with the lobster bisque, which was creamy and full of flavor with large chunks of lobster meat. For our entree, we each had the bone in rib eye (I had the lobster with my steak) with sautéed garlic mushrooms and country smashed potatoes. Our steak was cooked to perfection (medium well; pink on the inside, brown on the outside). Side portions are big enough to share with 2-3 people and even have some left over to take home. We ended our evening with the duck egg crème brûlée. My only complaint about the dessert is it was served completely cold. I've had crème brûlée in many restaurants, and I typically have had it served at room temperature, as the sugar is torched right before it is served.
I cannot express enough what great customer service wait staff provides at Delmonico! Staff was incredibly attentive. They have three servers waiting on you. They constantly check on you and top your drinks off.
Like most fab steakhouses, Delmonico is pricey. With tip, our tab was $300, but it was absolutely worth every penny.
Like I previously mentioned, our dinner was delicious, but what made our experience even more amazing was the staff. I have NEVER experienced such great customer service.
When in Vegas and you're craving steak, Delmonico is a MUST!
