“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”

“Their take on the Caesar is the best I’ve ever had. I’m a big fan of the classic Caesar with anchovies and everything, and this Caesar where individual leaves are dressed to perfection is a delight”

“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.”

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.”

“Delmonico’s classic steak is 45 dry aged ribeye with an amazing crust. It’s white table cloth but definitely old school vibes. Went a couple months ago, highly recommend.”

“The steak was excellent. I ordered it medium rare, and it came out *just* on the verge between medium rare and rare. Robust, rich taste, and evenly cooked.”

“However, recently they had a prix fixe ladies lunch for $50 which was awful. I went with half a dozen women and we all thought the steaks were so grizzly we couldn’t even finish our meals.”

“The price and quality has been outstanding for most things. I would pass on their sushi offerings, though. Tried a Japanese catered option last week and it was not great. Everything else has been tasty and presentation simply excellent.”

“Delmonico's was pretty good but I actually liked their strip steak more than their signature cut. Their ribeye wasn't great compared to other places I've been. Their NY strip was surprisingly tender and juicy though.”

“Service was good, but the black cod portion was small and the dish was mostly the cold cabbage side (I guess my bad for ordering something other than steak?), steak was tasty but also rather cold.”

“Really disappointing visit when I went a couple of months ago. Poor service sitting under a cold and drippy air vent that required us having to ask to be moved, only to be seated at the bar. The steak was underwhelming for the price point.”

replying to u/ColPhorbin97: Keens was booked for the evening we are going unfortunately. Wolfgang’s is definitely on the table as well. As for Delmonico apparently they closed and reopened with a new chef that revamped the food program there, the menu looks great.
“Went to Delmonicos a few weeks ago, food was decent but very rich and fatty, we were all uncomfortably bloated afterwards. Also the Delmonico cut was eh the aged ribeye was definitely the star.”

“I enjoyed the service and food at Delmonicos. The Dry Aged Bone-In Ribeye steak was really good, but I probably wouldn’t pay to add on the Sichuan peppercorn sauce again as it just seemed bland for my taste.”

“Delmonico's was even pricier, but I honestly preferred their sides to their signature Delmonico's steak somehow, despite it being the place that supposedly invented the NY strip (it was good, but I expected better given the hype and price point).”

replying to u/ftlapple: The items I wanted from Carne Mare's restaurant week lunch prix fixe were the exact same dollar amount as those items, a la carte, added up. The whole thing has become such a sham in my opinion.
