   I loved the decor, cocktails, steak, and pasta. The delmonico steak and pasta za za were stars of the night. Our server was attentive and kind. My only two negatives of the night is that it gets VERY loud in the restaurant and the desserts were honestly bad. Our table of 4 all agreed. We got the strawberry cake and the bananas foster cheesecake. The cake was surprisingly bland and pretty dry and the cheesecake was also somehow dry? Never had a dry cheesecake before. Was sort of a let down after such an amazing dinner. I would come back for the steak and pasta dishes, for sure. Definitely recommend for dinner and drinks. I love that they have sushi options.

   Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed. I was recommended by a dear friend who RAVED about the Dry Aged Delmonico, so I was geeked to try it. However, upon entering, I was hit by a sour mop smell that permeated the entire restaurant. That was strike 1. I hate that I didn't get my server's name because she was amazing and extremely accommodating. She recommended the wedge salad and French 76. I ordered both. The salad was great, but the drink left a bad after taste in my mouth. I informed my server, and she brought me another one which was a bit better. I asked what side she recommended, and she suggested the loaded mashed potatoes. I ordered those and a MEDIUM Delmonico. When the steak arrived, it was smaller than I expected, but I accepted it. When I attempted to cut the steak, it was a struggle. For a ribeye steak, it was extremely tough but also raw. My server saw my disappointment and asked what was wrong, and I explained that the steak was tough and rough. She took it and said the chef would prepare me another steak. The chef did deliver the second steak, but it was also very tough and raw. He, the chef, asked if I wanted it cooked more but the outside was already cooked. Needless to say, they had to cook 3 different steaks for me. The mashed potatoes were OK, but I've definitely had better. My server was great, but she could only do so much.

   We were celebrating three best friends birthdays!! Our waiter immediately brought each of us a complementary glass of champagne. That was a nice touch to start our evening! We were not rushed, which I appreciated. The only negative was!You have to order everything at once but our waiter Charles was wonderful and worked with us. It’s definitely a fun people watching place. The food and cocktails were fabulous. I had an old fashion cocktail. It was very good. We had lobster escargot! Yum!! Spicy cauliflower was a hit! Steak tar tar and an artichoke appetizer. Also we had a spicy Caesar salad, which I would have again if you go don’t miss out on the lobster escargot or the cauliflower. I would go again.

   The wait time is inexcusable. Sitting at the bar 40 minutes after your reservation time is not a positive experience. Having to approach the host station several times is not a good look for the establishment. I will not return. My second time in this restaurant. This is my second poor experience

   Great spot for a nice dinner or date night! Steak Tartare and Hamachi appetizers and the French 76 cocktail are a must.

   This would have been a 5-star experience overall, but the valet was wildly rude and they charged $10 to valet without a visible sign. When I’m paying $350 for a bottle of wine, paying $10 to valet makes the place feel cheap. Add the terrible attitude of the valet attendants, and you just ruined an otherwise great experience.
