I found your channel about two weeks ago while looking for restaurant recommendations in NYC, and you have such a great camera presence. You are so honest, yet positive in your videos!!
Hi James! Wow what a great review...I have goosebumps from watching this delicious presentation. Thanks for treating us with this trip. It seems like only yesterday you were there.❤🥩🍷
As a fellow epicurean, l love how you dine solo in such a wide array of restaurants but really put the top guys to the test..a great re-review and as usual, looking forward to your continued critiques cuz I'm glued! Great job James, great meal, what can l say? Excellent!
$150 for a dinner at Delmonico’s is a great bargain. I need to be in NYC next restaurant week. BTW, you should have WAY more subscribers given your content!
Hi James what a nice dining experience at Delmonico’s the exterior building is iconic, the interior looks amazing. That crab cake looked delicious! The main event dish “steak “ I’m sure was very tasty and well worth it . Thank you James for sharing your dining experience with us. Jose P.
Your first experience with Delmonico is why I started watching. You didn’t mispronounce, you researched facts. Most of all you were and continue to be authentic. Great selection of restaurants, btw!
Wow the cook on that steak is perfection, really beautiful. I exclude steakhouses from consideration during Restaurant Week for the exact same reasons that you mentioned, but it looks like Delmonico's may be the exception (adds to list of iconic NYC restaurants to try). I love a menu refresh too, keeps things exciting and customers returning. Can't wait for the next one... missing a FOOT lol
Yeah, you really have to be careful with steakhouses during Restaurant Week, but Delmonico's came through. Haha! Yeah, next week's review had a Restaurant Week menu that kind of annoyed me.
First time viewer. Excellent review. What I like most is that you use a voice over in the restaurant for the video. You don't babble in the restaurant!
Hi James, Thank you for your return visit to Delmonico’s. I’m retired in Canada 🇨🇦 but I love your food reviews around the world and especially NYC. I was most interested in the comparison between your visit to Delmonico’s last year and this recent meal. Dry vs wet aged beef and all. I can’t thank you enough for the entertainment that you provide. Best Wishes, Peter
I’ve been watching your videos for a year and have enjoyed seeing your growth as a video maker. I hope to see some future videos with others at the table with you. You do a great job showing the joy the food provides, but the full dining experience goes beyond the food. Would be great to see how the restaurant adds to the overall social experience. Wishing you another year of happiness and success.
I'm fairly new to your vlogs and I'm hooked. I like your straightforward style of criticism and the POV format a lot. Kudos to the intrepid solo diner!
First & foremost, it is with a strong sense of pride & honor that I again write that my great-grandfather was a cook/chef at Delmonico's during the first two decades of the previous century. How happy am I to view your joy & pleasure in the dining experience you so enthusiasically present & offer to us viewers. As a tribute to your "hometown/Chicago" area, may I please mentioned how I have always felt GEORGE DIAMOND on Wabash & the orginal MORTON'S OF CHICAGO - in my opinion - were among the great steakhouses of North America. Thus stated, may I again remind you that my family once shopped at the A&P supermarket on 46th Street off 3rd Ave which is now SPARKS STEAKHOUSE. Food service is in my family's DNA - and I so appreciate your reverant & respectful offerings to food. As I have stated before, the purest expression of human love is when you cook a meal & feed someone. This is a "truth of life"! Thank you for your efforts shared!!!!
@@rushgush Thank you for you comment & I understand your remark. Excuse my enthusiasm for sharing some family history. The real joy in living life is by listening to the individual & unique stories people can share with each other. That is the art of "storytelling". My pride in my great grandfather's story is something I treasure. Best of luck in sharing your story. Again, thanks for you comment.
I love the review due to its honesty, you seem to really enjoy the meal unlike some that do it for views and don't post themselves eating. Honest review, great dinner, next time I'm in NY I'll definitely give it a try.
Our local Morton's Steakhouse in Northern Virginia do that all the time with their specials. Reducing portion size of salad and side dishes by about a third. I've never seen cash discount offer anywhere in the DC area. Very unique to NYC?
Yeah, the only places I see that offer cash discounts are usually more casual affordable small business spots. Delmonico's is the only fine dining restaurant I've seen that offers a cash discount.
James that was wonderful thank you! This may sound crazy, but it was the crab cake that was the highlight for me! Thanks for sharing your experience! Cheers!
What a wonderful experience. That crab cake was like no other I've seen. I also appreciate your well informed comments on the differences between the two steaks offered at this establishment. May you always maintain the kind of metabolism that will allow you to easily consume such a big damn piece of meat.
That looked absolutely fantastic! So much history and the food done so well and fairly reasonably compared to other well known New York restaurants. My mom watched with me and asked why you don't try the coffee with the dessert and why you don't put on a tie. Otherwise I always enjoy your reviews so much.
Thank you so much! Yeah, coffee would've paired so well with that dessert, but I try to not have coffee that late in the day. It would keep me up pretty late.
I'm not super into steakhouses because I prefer seafood and smaller portions overall, but definitely have a soft spot for Delmonico's and really like them. Also, you summed up restaurant week perfectly but some places can still pull it off well and seems like they're one of them.
Everything looked delicious! I personally prefer the filet mignon cut. I wonder how that taste there. Also the crab cake looks delicious. If I come to NY before the year is out I will put this on my list. Thanks for the review!!
Love all your videos my friend. I am also a big fan of the steakhouse scene and have been to all the steakhouses on your playlist ;p. One request I have would be to review a Brazilian steakhouse. I've never personally been to one but I hanging out with this Korean girl that keeps talking about them so I am curious to try one. Thanks bro !!!!
You have mentioned in previous videos that you don't often go to the same place twice, and how that give people a distorted view of a restaurant. So it was nice to see you go back to Delmonico's. I feel they offer a very good value restaurant week menu.
Its great tou had an all around win with your meal. I notice you get creamed spinach often. I can only guess what you get are different from what I was servec. 13:35
Everything was excelente James. The meal and your video quality. Now all you need is to invest in a nice sports jacket to play the part when you go to place's like this 🙂
Nothing better than a great steakhouse, and the traditional dishes that few do well. The crab appetizer looked generous, but I’m lost on what it was sitting on (mashed potatoes?). The creamed spinach looked excellent and the desert also looked delightful. Looks like Delmonico’s is back stronger than ever. Really enjoyed the review, thank you James.👍💕🥩
Excellent review. I vaguely remember a reprinted menu from Delmonicos in 1899 (rate of conversion is roughly $38 USD to $1 USD, 2024 to 1899). Caviar was $1.00, Beef tourandos (filet mignon I think) $2.50, foie gras $1.00, double baked mashed potatoes, 0.80. Total was $5.30. Today's money, $201.40. Not counting desert or wine. Classy even then. Loved you enjoying that bone-in ribeye!
It's back to being one of the worlds great restaurant's. It was the greatest steak house in the world in the Robber Baron era.The setting is pure Manhattan in the best since of the word. Good review - I haven't been there in 40 years ...have to go back to NY next year afters it's cleaned up a bit.
James; super deal! I love that bone-in ribeye & the restaurant week offer was a bonus! In Miami we have our Miami Spice restaurant week deals! Super video😅
Great review! This Saturday I had lunch at the classic Au Pied de Cochon in the les Halles area of central Paris and the total bill came to 92,70€. Whilst viewing the menu I sipped on a Negroni and decided to order a la carte: for starters I took 3 oysters (fines de Claire no2) and a portion of welks (sea snails). This was served with butter from Bretagne, dark bread, vinegar with shallots and mayonnaise to have with the welks. In addition there was baguette on the table plus the tab water that I ordered together with 1/2 bottle of Muscadet white whine from the Loire Valley. As main I took the deboned and stuffed pigs trotter served with potatoes and chanterelles mushrooms. For dessert I took a classic Vacherin that was so massive I could only eat a third. Finally a cup of coffee. A 2 hour lunch! 92,70€ !!!
We do produce great beef here in South Dakota and in fact I helped open and worked at South Dakota's premier steakhouse Morrie's which was previously Foleys steakhouse for 16 years. Definitely a must stop if you are ever in Sioux Falls South Dakota and it also boasts the #1 wine list of any restaurant in South Dakota as well! 👍👍
Coming in December and we are booking a reservation at Delmonico's - it's a tough choice between this and some of the newer steak houses, such as Keen's, but Delmonico's is so iconic - hate to miss that opportunity.
Another great, informational video! How awesome to see a restaurant that offers both wet- and dry-aged steaks! A lot of my friends think I'm nuts, but I prefer a wet-aged steak. The blue cheese "funk" of a dry-aged steak isn't for me...especially when you get an especially strong bite. How was the Spinach compared to Keen's? That meal was a great deal!
Thank you! That's fair enough. Wet-aged steaks are still great. I feel like the texture of the creamed spinach was better at Keens, but Delmonico's had a slight edge in terms of flavor. I think I would have to have them side by side to be able to say which is the best.
Fabulous value for Restaurant Week. Only thing I would change is the wine. I would go with the Stags Leap Hands of Time red wine (blend of Cab, Merlot, and Malbec). Decent value at $25/glass.
OMG! You are making me drewel man! I envy you dude! I'm a rancher in ND, and I always pick out one angus yearling every fall and lock it up by itself and feed it a ration of cracked corn, barley, and roughage to get the marbling I want. Finish it out to about 1200 lbs and have it slaughtered and let it hang for 31 days. And then I am at the butcher shop when they cut it up so I get the cuts I want, and get them cut how I want them. I get all my steaks cut to 1 1/4 inches except the filets. They get cut to 2 3/4 inches. I have three different kinds of grills and an open fire pit with a grate that lowers and raises. So needless to say, I eat good beef at home. I have eaten at several Ruth's Chris steak houses, and have always been impressed. BUT, I have always wanted to eat at Delmonoco's and Peter Lugers. I can only imagine what a steak dinner with sides and dessert is like. Maybe some day after I retire.... A trip to the Big Apple for restaurant week.
What an incredible deal!! I'm not even hungry but your review made me want to go get a steak. I need to time my next visit to NYC during restaurant week 😅

Man, just love James’s reviews . Feels like you’re there .
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Had our wedding reception dinner there on a Sunday evening in 1968. They closed the restaurant for us. Extraordinary!
That must've been a special time!
@@Jamesnu It was. Very lucky we were able to do it, with just two days notice. Incredible. Thanks
How neat!
That must have set back the bride's folks a couple of nickels.
I found your channel about two weeks ago while looking for restaurant recommendations in NYC, and you have such a great camera presence. You are so honest, yet positive in your videos!!
I went to Hamburger America in nyc because of him. Did not disappoint!
Agreed, best restaurant reviews on RUclips by far.
@@Megan80 I'll need to try itt!!
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
The crust on that steak looked amazing! It looked perfectly cooked. My mouth is watering!
It was so good! That steak was practically perfect!
Hi James! Wow what a great review...I have goosebumps from watching this delicious presentation. Thanks for treating us with this trip. It seems like only yesterday you were there.❤🥩🍷
Thank you so much! Yeah, the year between my visits flew by fast!

Thank you so much for watching! Yeah, all around Delmonico's is a great place!
Your videos are Glorious James! You have a soothing vibe and good heart.
Much love and respect!
Thank you so much!
And he’s gorgeous
Your first experience with Delmonico is why I started watching. You didn’t mispronounce, you researched facts. Most of all you were and continue to be authentic. Great selection of restaurants, btw!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support!
Another great job. Your review last year prompted our visit this year. Also had a great experience
Thank you! That makes me happy to hear!

Hey James, it's me, the watch guy. Love the Hamilton, thanks for the close up!
Thank you! I just got that watch and I'm loving it.
First time viewer. Excellent review. What I like most is that you use a voice over in the restaurant for the video. You don't babble in the restaurant!
Thank you! Yeah, I don't want to disturb anyone in the restaurant. Plus, I can share my thoughts more coherently with voiceovers.
My dad knew the head chef at Delmonico's in the late 40s and he taught my dad how to cook a steak.
Nice!

Thanks James for another amazing review and the interesting year-to-year comparison. I live in NYC and I need to (finally) get to Delmonico's!
Thanks for watching! Yeah, it's definitely worth a try.

4:20 pm. lol high time. good time to eat. your reviews are the best. better than food network. I gotta get to this place next time I'm in NY.
Indeed!
Congradulations on the new Hamilton, James! I have the same watch just with the silver face.

Love the architecture exterior structure of that restaurant! That food looks devine and tasty!
Same here! The building is beautiful.
I was there for my 60th birthday. Love it!
Nice!
Having come across this channel you have now made me buy two tickets to NY just to go try Delmonico's. Thank you for this awesome video

yup. Delmonicos is a classic..
so happy they sorted everything out and reopened and renovated
Definitely!

@ltsthatovoxo Thank you! I definitely had a great meal there!
Love the review! I especially love the Hamilton Khaki King on your wrist. Cheers.
Thank you! That watch has quickly become one of my favorites!
Another exceptional value for sure. And you paired the wine perfectly. I'm a big Spanish Rioja Tempranillo fan/collector. Cheers!
Thank you! Yeah, that wine hit the mark!
Thank you for posting, Delmonico's steak really looks like the most appetizing in NYC. Look forward to trying it out in November!!!

Yet another great video and that meal was exceptional have a great week ❤
Thank you! Have a great week as well!
Love all your videos my friend. I am also a big fan of the steakhouse scene and have been to all the steakhouses on your playlist ;p.
One request I have would be to review a Brazilian steakhouse.
I've never personally been to one but I hanging out with this Korean girl that keeps talking about them so I am curious to try one.
Thanks bro !!!!
Thank you! Yeah, I definitely plan to feature a Brazilian place in the future.
That new Hamilton looks beauutiful, amazing video as always!!
Thank you so much!
I felt like I was taking a bite of the steak with you each time you did! lol this looks so delicious! 😋 I love a good dry aged steak!
Same here! Thanks for watching!
You have mentioned in previous videos that you don't often go to the same place twice, and how that give people a distorted view of a restaurant.
So it was nice to see you go back to Delmonico's. I feel they offer a very good value restaurant week menu.
Thank you! Yeah, I hope that I can do that with more restaurants in the future.
Love the reviews!
Thank you!
I always look forward to your videos! I wonder if they put the salt and pepper grinders just for you because they watched your old delmonico’s video!
Thank you! It wouldn't have surprised me if that was the case, especially since I had the same server whom I praised in my first video.
That looked great, especially that dessert.
It was an incredible meal for sure.
Its great tou had an all around win with your meal. I notice you get creamed spinach often. I can only guess what you get are different from what I was servec. 13:35
I got creamed spinach because for the Restaurant Week menu, it was either that or mashed potatoes, but I really enjoyed the spinach!
Please try Delmonico’s Baked Alaska dessert on your next visit. It is extraordinary. Keep up your awesome reviews!
Thank you! Yeah, I really want to try it.
Yummy. I’m glad you’re having some good food
@@meganhill3822 Thank you! It was good food indeed!

Wholeheartedly agree that customer service and the wine add layers to a meal that makes the spirited taste buds sing hosannas.
I like the way you phrased that!

I get all my steaks cut to 1 1/4 inches except the filets. They get cut to 2 3/4 inches. I have three different kinds of grills and an open fire pit with a grate that lowers and raises. So needless to say, I eat good beef at home. I have eaten at several Ruth's Chris steak houses, and have always been impressed. BUT, I have always wanted to eat at Delmonoco's and Peter Lugers. I can only imagine what a steak dinner with sides and dessert is like. Maybe some day after I retire.... A trip to the Big Apple for restaurant week.
Nice! Thanks for sharing that. I really hope that you get the chance to make it out here.
Love Delmonico’s!
It's an amazing restaurant for sure!
Love the Hamilton on leather strap 👍
Thank you! I really enjoy that watch!
mad respect for that Hamilton field too
@@macfan128 Thank you! I'm really enjoying that watch!
What an incredible deal!! I'm not even hungry but your review made me want to go get a steak. I need to time my next visit to NYC during restaurant week 😅
Haha! Yeah, they're definitely some great deals out there during Restaurant Week.
I wonder if someone watched your video at the restaurant (not unlikely) and saw you wanted some finishing salt!
It wouldn't surprise me.
