Delmonico’s Kitchen
207 West 36th Street
New York, NY 10018
This is a little brother of the legendary steakhouse in downtown New York, started by the namesake family. The two photos below are from wiki: on Beaver and South William streets in 1893 and corners of 5th and 44th St. in 1903.
Tuna tartare and crab cake are awesome. Like the way they serve the wine by the glass with a mini decanter – but it also means one more seemingly unnecessary thing to wash.
The chicken is good but on the salty side. A TV mounted in the bathroom?
On the menu, they offer four types of steak: Demonico’s Steak, filet mignon, NY strip and porterhouse, they’re all under $50. (Steak frite is much less).
We ordered a chicken and three steaks. The house steak is the best. The special double rib eye for two – marbled, as our waiter stressed – is huge. The serving plate is way too small for it, feels like a fast food, eyesore and unappetizing. Lately many decent restaurants give prices of their specials. Given the fact most steaks cost around $50 at this one, I’d think it costs about the same but it’s $150. A big doggy bag.
The sweet girl offered to charge my phone when I mentioned my battery was running low – thank you!
Seen in the tv series The Alienist, the first season that was released in 2018.
