Excellent food and atmosphere. Unfortunately It seemed that they were all preparing for the forced impending closure of the restaurant due to Covid virus. Maitre'd was very nice and friendly as were the staff. Food was of the quality and taste to be expected from a Emirl restaurant. Would go back again(If I could).

Food was excellent. Ambiance was wonderful. The service was not good. When I asked what were the specials, the waiter gave me a crazy look and said look at the front menu. When I asked what the special dessert of the day was, he answered and said, “Cheesecake.” When I asked for the dessert menu, the printed menu said chocolate flan. There were several gnats flying around and we killed three in my napkin. I requested a new one and never received one. My co-worker asked for one and he received it and gave it to me. The waiters were cursing in the hallway. When a co-worker complimented on the background music (classic funk), the waiter said it was horrible and said he (my co-worker) was the only one that liked it. I’m just not used to this level of service at a high-end restaurant.

Everything was absolutely amazing! We visited to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and he had a memorable experience! A huge thank you to the entire staff for making it such!

The observation skills of the wait staff is exceptional. It's the little things they do that impress - color coordinated napkins (dark for dark clothes, white for light clothes), replacing incorrectly used silverware, keeping water topped off, quickly removing finished items from the table, being invisible when needed and showing pearly whites when expressing gratitude. The food? Oh, yeah, the food presentation and quality simply must be experienced in New Orleans.

The experience was a bit disappointing as we had high expectations. I had the shrimp with portabella mushrooms and pasta. The dish was just ok. It was highly seasoned and salted. A little less would have done it. When I asked for desert the waiter said there was only pecan pie or cookies and milk. Before leaving I noticed he was making Bananas Foster for another table. I asked him why he didn't offer that to us. His response was that he liked the pecan pie. Enough said.

Kitchen was slow this night. Food was very good as usual. However our waiter was not up to an Emeril’s standard. He was not attentive and that made the rest of the experience not as it could’ve been.

The wait staff was amazing and attentive.They were polite,professional and well informed about their menu. The oysters were amazing. Don't go without ordering them. It's not the place to go for gumbo as ours was relatively unremarkable. The steak was tasty but a but overdone...but it well seasoned and the hollandaise was perfect. Overall, I'd reccomend this spot. It's perfect for a cute little date night.

Will not return. I noted the reviews about poor service, long weight time, and questionable food but wanted to give this landmark restaurant a chance. The reviews were correct. Our table was not ready at our reservation time. We were asked to wait at the bar for over 20 minutes- a likely attempt to force us to purchase a beverage. The pace of dinner service was VERY slow. It took over an hour between soup and entree service. My husband's steak was not "dry aged" rather it was rancid. It smelled horrible and we threw it in the trash on the way out. 50$ steak - IN THE TRASH. Not reason to return- this was a one and done.

We loved our experience at Delmonico's...we made reservations and they seated us very quickly based on our reservation. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It is located in an old New Orleans home. The bar area is small, but very nice. I agree with other reviews that the noise level is somewhat loud, however because of the home that it is in, the ceilings are super high. While beautiful, it isn't conducive to the noise level. The service that we experienced was outstanding! And not just our waiter, but everyone we came in contact with. The food was great and we really enjoyed our choices. We would definitely go back to Delmonico's.
