Eating at Delmonico’s. NYC. One of the Best Steakhouses and a Legendary Restaurant

  • I eat at and review Delmonico’s in the Financial District of New York City. The restaurant has been around since 1837 and is considered to be the first fine dining restaurant in America. Several dishes have been invented at Delmonico’s including the Baked Alaska and the eggs benedict. Delmonico’s is also recognized as one of the best steakhouses in NYC. They’re famous for their signature Delmonico cut of steak, which I try among other courses. After a three-year closure, Delmonico’s is once again open.

    Completing my "binge" watching of your many offerings and I still marvel over your enthusiasm & joy for food & travel. Since subscribing to your channel, I have been pleased to see the steady increase in the numbers of views & subscribers. Yes, a true testimonial of the quality of your videos & reviews. Also, you have now obviously entered the realm of notoriety based on the numerous nasty critiques / comments issued for this review alone!. I am impressed by your handling with grace & patience to these verbal "slings" & "arrows"! Definitely, you were raised well by your parents. If I may share a personal comment about Delmonico's, my great-grandfather (Dominic Gandini) served many years as a line cook for the restaurant during the first two decades of the last century. Food & restaurants in NYC is very personal for me & family. This is Peter, & thank you for sharing this post!

    I looked up the inflation rate for 40 cents in 1876 because I was curious about just how expensive that coffee was, and 40 cents was the equivalent of over $11 in today’s money. I guess this restaurant HAS always been super expensive haha. But from this video, it seems like it’s worth it, at the very least for a once-in-a-while special occasion

      Actually 11 $ for a cup of coffee in such a high end restaurant is not that expensive, depending of the blend served. Indonesia (Sumatra) Kopi Luwak blend would fetch 100 $ a cup. Brewing that blend at home in your own machine would come to 10 $. a cup. Needless to say that blend is purely exquisite.

    Thank your for this video, a dream came true! I found you coincidentally on the last weekend and am really enjoying your content. I binge watch an abundance of your videos everyday and now at the right time you deliver the restaurant I am looking forward to the most.
    In the Netflix show 'The Alienist' the characters are dining at Delmoico‘s multiple times and while following those well written dialogues I was in awe of the authentic scenery with those humongous paintings and the similar sized round dining tables with white tablecloths and antique silverware. Since then I followed the developments of the restaurant; interior-wise the new Delmonico‘s lacks the authenticity of the former restaurant-even if the latter already went with rectangular dining tables. According to your footage the lighting and seat positioning just feels odd to me.
    Thanks for this and all your other videos! I really enjoy your video style and how you mix your other interests, mainly running and reading, into the videos. I would like to see more vlogs and neighborhood explorations, as I really enjoyed your documentations of your days in Tribeca and Chicago. I would also be interested in a video where you rank all the restaurants in NYC you have visited compartmentalized in the different cuisines.
    Sincere thanks and best regards from Germany!

      Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate it! Yeah, I wish that I had the opportunity to visit Delmonico's before it was closed for so long so that I could do a more direction comparison of the restaurant and its evolution.
      I definitely will add more vlogs with location and neighborhood explorations in the future. I feel like for some foods and restaurants I could give them a good ranking, but others, I just don't feel like I've had enough yet to make a fair judgement, but with more culinary experience I might be able to have a ranking video in the future.

    That Delmonico steak had my mouth watering. It’s one of my favorite steaks. So glad the restaurant opened again and also that it kept its old fashion charm. Very classic and appropriate for this type of restaurant. I agree the hash browns did not look that appetizing as it was a big blob of potatoes.

    James, your experience at Delmonico's was a wonderful sight for many of us. I need to add this famed place to my bucket list when I'm next in NYC. One small point, just for informational purposes though. When tasting any bread item it is customary, in finer establishments at least, to break off a small piece of the baked goods and butter that alone. Thereafter, continue nibbling by repeating the subdivision method. Being of the older generation, this is how we were taught to approach a bread course. You may elect which ever style you feel comfortable with, but I felt compelled to let you know about this approach. Cheers.

      Please follow the rules of etiquette for the bread as suggested. It shows that you have the money, class, and style to eat at such a prestigious restaurant. We can all enjoy ourselves while being respectful to other dinner guests and the restaurant. Also, you want to make sure that you are not miseducating your viewers who might go to these high-level establishments in the future for business and social gatherings.

    Bread Etiquette: In the U.S. break a piece of bread and then butter it before eating. No butter sandwiches or buttering a full slice of bread without breaking it first.
    Sauce Etiquette: In the U.S. use a teaspoon and place the sauce on the side of the steak and not on top of the steak. Dip from the portion from the side of the steak and not from the serving dish.
    Please don't lick your knife. That's dangerous, and you can hurt yourself.

      I had a wonderful pallet and sense of smell before I caught Covid in 2020 . I could taste something made in a fine dining establishment and recreate it at home. If it was an especially ingredient heavy dish I have been known to save some to take home with me or if I couldn’t stop myself from eating it all get another packed to go. That way after my first try at cooking it I had a sample of it to comparison it to and could fine tune what I might be missing on my first try. I have been told that some of my hijacked versions were an improvement on the original. There is no greater praise than that.
      Since I had Covid food doesn’t taste the same. I was one of those people that still tested positive 4 months later, and caught it 3 times. Covid tried hard to kill me. I can’t taste the small nuanced flavors like I used to. 😢 it was nice while it lasted. Been 3 years now and it appears this handicap is going to be permanent. ☹️
