Dining here is an experience not to be rushed. Take advantage of the table side preparations that are offered. We loved the Parmesan pasta cart and the bananas foster was perfect! Treat yourself to a nice night out with wonderful food and immaculate service.

First time at Delmonico’s but it won’t be our last! Dining here was a great experience. Food was excellent. We had the house salad with its excellent home made dressing, the filet (which was perfectly cooked and seasoned) and the lobster couscous (which was simply delicious). Staff was friendly, helpful and prompt. Excellent all around.

We’ve dined at Blue Point before over the years, but tonight was by far our favorite time. We took my daughter for our annual Christmas dinner and it could not have been more perfect. Our server, Hailie was so kind and attentive. She made the experience truly special for my daughter. Our appetizer, entrees and desserts were perfect. The Christmas decorations at Blue Point are second to none and elicit the ambiance of a Manhattan restaurant during and holidays. We cannot recommend Blue Point or our server Hailie highly enough.
