Dolphina - I%26#39;ve eaten at Delmonicos and enjoyed my dinner there too. I say if you enjoyed so will your parents, go ahead and take them.

I%26#39;m with Susan, go to Delmonico%26#39;s, if we weren%26#39;t going to Emeril%26#39;s one night, we might try it but I want to spread the wealth around so one night at Emeril%26#39;s will do fine for us, would hate to have the other places go broke if we don%26#39;t try them, lmao.

Delmonico%26#39;s is great! I lived in NY area for most of my life, and this place is up there with the best NY steak houses for serive, and quality. Don%26#39;t listen to those reviewers....they%26#39;ve probably never set foot in anything other than a buffet line! It%26#39;s not cheap, but worth every penny.

Don%26#39;t ever worry about what other people think of a restaurant. The important thing is that You liked it and want to go back. That is all the matters. If you read the reviews of restaurants and hotels on this site you will read: ';it was the best (hotel, restaurant, pool, etc.) I ever experienced'; followed by another poster who writes: ';it was the worst place on earth and I will never go back.'; Go with what you want and enjoy!

VP03 is soooo correct. We all have such different expectations and opinions on hotels and restaurants. You know you enjoyed it, so go for it!

Delomonico%26#39;s is my husbands favorite...I think people try to find something to complain about or expecting more of 5** dining experience. Or they are completely turned off with the waiters, little speach...which can be annoying but look past it.

Just a note...They will ask you which bottle watter you will prefer... If you order, please expect $8-12 per bottle to be added to your bill. I know many of a message board that had this as their #1 gripe. Im a Las vegas Tap lover anyway.

Ask for the Wine room, It is more of an intimate settin

If money were no object, I would pick Delmonico%26#39;s anyday. I have eaten there back in 2002 and it was pretty good. I really like dthe gumbo. But still I prefer a good buffet over anything. I%26#39;m not the type that likes napkins placed in my lap and 4 waiters to a table. :)

Count my husband and I among those that LOVE Delmonico%26#39;s. Yes, it IS a bit pricey but we have eaten there on more than a few occasions and we have never been disappointed in any aspect of the meal, service, atmosphere, etc. We will eat there again without hesitation.

If you enjoy the experience of fine dinig at delmonico%26#39;s then go for it. With a site as large as this and people from all different walks of life, geographic locations, age, etc, there will of course be many different opinions of Delmonico%26#39;s. It does not mean that one is more ';right'; or ';wrong';--- Take each as just another ';nugget'; of info- agree or disagree but go with your feelings.

ENJOY!! Jan

As I posted on another thread, part of the difficulties in assessing restaurant ratings and opinions on these various web sites is trying to determine what the reviewer is utilizing as criteria for review. As one poster here just honestly stated, they don%26#39;t like the type of service where waiters are hovering around constantly. Yet, someone else would interpret this as excellent service. Personally, I hate sitting around endlessly waiting for the check after finishing a meal yet I have friends who enjoy the long leisurely meal. And, there are many who base their opinions on service versus the quality of the food items themselves. You can read a real negative review and when you dig deeper it is because that particular person had to wait to be seated, etc. And, yet others base their assessment on price. So, it is hard to assess sometimes where is good or not based upon the quality of the food.

From all the reports that I can evaluate, Delmonico%26#39;s is viewed as excellent in food quality but over-priced compared to some other equal quality places. But, I ate at one Ruth%26#39;s Cris in Jacksonville where the Maitre d, wouldn%26#39;t return a well-done steak that I had ordered ';medium.'; And, I have had other fine meals at Ruth%26#39;s. So, should I rate the Ruth%26#39;s in Jacksonville poorly. Maybe so.... Anyway, it sounds like you want to treat your parents to an elegant meal and it appears when you delve deeper into the reviews that Delmonico%26#39;s will meet that special evening in a positive way. Just expect to pay.
