Under nephew Lorenzo and chef Charles Ranhofer, hired in 1862, it grew to as many as ten locations and gave American menus the Delmonico steak, lobster Newberg, eggs Benedict and baked Alaska.

  • Overall, one of my top contenders for the best or even the best steakhouse in all of NYC. Definitely will be going back here. Easy 9.5/10

  • I found the eye to be pretty lack luster and the ribeye was very fatty and greasy. Wasn't impressed by the baked Alaskan either

  • Delmonico’s is even more historic and has a posh space on a beautiful corner in the oldest part of the city. The food is very good with a focus on seafood, but this place is so old it is where so many “dishes with names” originated, so it has this larger-than-life but almost cartoonishly classic feel.

  • replying to u/ThePrincessAmethyst: This is so sad to hear! Wondering if I should cancel my rez. Could you share what they removed from the RW menu? They haven’t made any changes on what’s listed on their website.

    If you get the ribeye it’s still “value” vs menu price but I thought the meat was lower quality than usual. The salmon and appetizer portion seemed noticeably smaller than standard (fair enough given the cost). The salmon was lukewarm at best and not particularly flavorful.

  • My group ordered Delmonico cuts individually for 4 and 2 shared the porterhouse. All were seasoned and cooked perfectly.

  • replying to u/henreiman: Happy to share- the best value of RW by far is Delmonico’s which tells you the exact steak you’re getting and more or less gives you a free app and dessert with it. I’m also impressed by Hupo, Zaytinya, Acadia, Elea (lunch), Dagon, Kraam, and Jazba amongst others

    I did not enjoy the Baked Alaska and is not worth the $10 upgrade even though they keep bragging that the Baked Alaska was invented at there lol.
