Delmonico’s Steakhouse

We celebrated our 25^th anniversary and what a treat. The service was wonderful and the food was absolutely delicious. The scallops melt in your mouth and the steaks were tender and full of flavor. A very pleasant experience. We were too full to try a dessert but next time we may have to force ourselves.

I met a friend here tonight to visit and catch up with each other. After a long day we were both starving. While waiting (forever) for a table we decided to check out the menu to see what we wanted so we could order ASAP when we sat down. My friend told our waiter that we were ready to order because we were really hungry, yet he talked over us and started telling us the specials. Really?! We told you we were ready… I ordered the Chicken Parm, and it’s probably the worst I’ve ever had. No flavor, hardly any sauce and the chicken was rubbery. I asked for another side of sauce and he brought me the tiniest ramekin possible. What am I supposed to do with this dollop of sauce? I really appreciate attentive servers, but these people were constantly at our table. CONSTANTLY! My friend got asked 4 times if they could take her plate away and box up the leftovers. That’s 3 times too many. She’ll let you know when she’s done. It’s like they were rushing us out. All we wanted to do is relax and enjoy some good food, and we didn’t get that. I think I’ll stick with Fleming’s or Maggiano’s.

Took a friend and business contact here for dinner and some drinks. Overall this isn’t the best steak I ever had but for the cost and what you get it I thought it was very good. Got fried calamari for an appetizer. Then, I got the «classic» surf and turf which came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Crème brûlée for dessert.
Overall everything was very good but not great. But the bill wasn’t a bank buster. $ 42 for decent steak and lobster with sides can’t be had in a lot of places. Overall an appetizer, two salads, two classics and two desserts and a bottle of wine was less than $ 200 (before tip).
What was great here was the service. Free valet. They were ready for my reservation when I arrived 20 minutes early. The server was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. She was attentive to our needs without being overbearing. The manager (I think) stopped by to make sure everything was good.
This is not the best steak house in the world but for the price and what you get I’d definitely go there again.

salmon was delicious– one of the best I’ve had! the restaurant is very nice inside and they brought a cake for a member of our party’s birthday. strongly recommend

Stopped here for dinner before a night out at Playhouse Square. This was our first time here, but it definitely won’t be the last!
The restaurant has nice ambiance, the service was outstanding, and my wife and I both loved our meals. My wife had the seared Fluke, a special, and I had the three course tenderloin and shrimp meal.
If you are trying Delmonico’s for the first time, you won’t be disappointed!

Pretty good Happy Hour. Enjoyed 3 shrimp and a 4oz filet for less than $ 15. Good bargain!
Bartender, Vinnie, was helpful.

Best food which I had in USA. I had a lobster bisque, scallop appetizer and and scallop and shrimp risotto. Highest quality

My boyfriend and I decided to try Delmonico’s after he kept hearing reviews for it on the radio. We went on a Sunday, which was kind of nice because it was pretty quiet for us. I loved listening to all of the Crooners playing. It was nice to hear some classic Rat Pack music.
Our waitress, and anyone who served us was very polite and kind. Our food was very good, but nothing extra ordinary in my book. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’ll probably return, but it wasn’t «the best» anything I’ve ever had. We’ll probably return whenever we’re deciding to have a more expensive night out.

The environment is great inside the restaurant, I love the décor. I got the featured bone-​in Delmonico steak, which was pretty good. While I asked for it charred, they just didn’t do it, but the steak was still good. My wife got the filet and it tasted better than my steak, the season on hers was great.
The Mac and cheese and the mashed potatoes were very good.
I feel this is a good steak restaurant for Cleveland, but in the grand scheme of things it is not earth shatteringly great.
Good date night restaurant.

This was a celebration dinner and it totally topped the day. Ashley, our server was outstanding. I had the filet and lobster and it was one of the best dinners I have ever had! Thanks for a memorable evening.

I’ve been to other Hospitality Restaurants and really liked them so my wife and I decided to try Delmonico. The calamari appetizer, bread and my wife’s side of spaghetti were very good, beyond them everything else was mediocre at best. Our filets were tender but had no flavor, neither of us could taste the garlic in the garlic mashed potatoes. Even our pop was flat. When we informed the waiter about the pop he said «we get a lot, it’s a Pepsi». What?!? So we just got tea. When I received my tea it had what looked to be the corner of a paper towel in it.
The atmosphere is very nice looking but the dining area gets way too loud due to only a half wall dividing the bar and restaurant (the restaurant area is maybe twice the area of the bar). We will not go back and I would not recommend this place. Go to one of the two other local steak houses, you will be much happier!

Pretty good, had the NY steak, which was cooked perfect. Service was great, I would come back again

I love trying the hospitality group restaurants when I am in town. I have been to 3 of them now, but this is by far my least favorite. My husband and I stopped in for lunch. The service was great, but the food was mediocre. And my glass had lipstick on it that was NOT MINE. Meaning my cup was DIRTY. DISGUSTING. (And no, they didn’t comp the drink even, which I think would be the polite thing to do.)
I had the Tenderloin Oscar– twin medallions with lump crab, béarnaise sauce and whipped potatoes. It was pretty bland, which is a bummer, because it was the thing on the menu I was most excited about. (See my review of Ruth’s Chris in Indianapolis if you want to try this dish done right.)
My husband had a lunch trio of chicken and corn chowder (his fave of the meal), a wedge salad with WAY too much dressing, and a BBQ swordfish sandwich that didn’t taste like anything but bbq. Not great, but it wasn’t too expensive.
Let’s put it this way: we could have spent our $ 50 in a better way, but if it were half the price we would have still not been impressed.
Such a bummer!

Nice romantic restaurant! The service was 1^st class but it is $$$. The shrimp Cocktail was probably the best I’ve had in a long time– 4large, crisp shrimp with horseradish on top of the cocktail sauce. Friday’s they have ½ price bottles of wine.

Fast service and very friendly staff. Liked the atmosphere, especially outside. Beer– very good.
Food– okay. Fries were tasty and thick. Major kudos for the black bean burger, yum! But… Salad was rotten.

Delmonico is in trouble. If their product and service continues like this. 1) Bartender does not know how to make a proper extra dry vodka martini. 2). Bartender is defensive. Argumentative. Not to mention NOT very personable. 3). Steak was «select» quality maybe choice at best. 4). Risotto was bland (yet unbelievably overly salty) and overcooked. Risotto was definitely mush. You could not distinguish the grains. It was like porridge (see photo). Thursday night — we were the only two in resistant at 9:00 pm.

Food wasn’t awful, but several dishes were off — which obviously should not he the case given the tier/​price point of the place.
Got the rib eye, it was ok but nothing exciting, would not go back.

Love coming here. Predominantly spend my time in the bar and eating from the full menu. Steaks are good. Love the creative specials. Can get things mixed and matched to create a perfect plate. They had lamb lollipops that were to die for a couple weeks back.
I come for the wonderful service from Nancy and Corrine. Stay because I always enjoy myself.

Delmonico’s is a very nice restaurant with excellent food. It is rather pricey but that’s because it is very fancy inside, they have great service, and the food was very pleasing. We came here for a birthday with a large group of about 15 or so. Our waitress Anne was wonderful and was very attentive. We all had a nice experience and complimented the food.
I had the chicken marsala which was very delicious. The only change I would make to my food was to add a little more asparagus, there were only 2 pieces on my food and my uncle’s, who ordered the same thing. My boyfriend had the surf and turf and loved it.
They have a large beverage selection and I enjoyed the Moscow Mule before our food arrived. Overall, a great spot for a special occasion. Be prepared that it is expensive but you are paying for the food and the overall experience. Our waitress Anne was kind enough to split all of our bills which saved a lot on time.

This is a very conflicted review…
I found myself here as the idea was to hit a Friday night movie after a decent dinner. Due to poor planning, we ended up here.
Upon entering the establishment, I found it to be the stereotypical entirely too dark, 80’s-esque styling, with mostly transplants from the 80’s dining here. I’m in my mid-​to-​late 30’s and I felt young and in-​touch here…
Let’s get to what matters though… the wait staff and hostesses were all great. I can;t complain at all about that. The $ 110 bill for two isn’t even a complaint… I knew what I was getting myself into in that respect. The complaint was with the food itself.
I really wanted the soft-​shell crab that was on special. I knew it wasn’t meant to be an entrée so I ordered it with some custom sides and there was a steak being shared a but anyhow. Seemed like a win win for me…
— The crab was deep-​fried (as expected) but it seemed to have been deep-​fried with some new technique using cold oil because the crab had more grease dripping from it than my 77 Jag sitting in the parking lot… was just gross and I couldn’t eat it (and I’ll finish anything, regardless of how gross it is).
— The risotto had a great taste to it, but was definitely way overdone… mushy.
— The pork belly appetizer was WAAAY overdone. They may as well given us crispy bacon, honestly.
— The steak was just ok… on the verge of good. Charred well in most places but not quite aged and/​or from good stock… something just not quite there.
I may try again but it’s tough with places like these as one usually doesn’t want to throw that kind of money at a chance…
