    This was a last minute reservation after our daughter arrived home late at the airport for Christmas...we had such a fabulous time at Delmonicos... from the warm and friendly reception from the greeters/hosts, to the relaxed yet very professional ambience, to the amazing food ( wedge salad, steaks, etc). But the real star was our server Carla who guided us through the menu initially with recommendations and took care of us during our entire visit with such kindness and courtesy. In spite of the late hour, we never felt rushed and were able to enjoy a wonderful reunion with our daughter. Great way to welcome the Christmas season! THANK YOU!

    Server was cheery, welcoming and attentive. Companion and I had the special which was scallops with asparagus and risotto. It was so good. Scallops were tender and the risotto was a good consistency. We also had the salad with pears, crispy goat cheese, and figs. It was yummy.
