    It was not busy at 7.30 on brick city weekend Friday night. Had great service. Salad bar was wonderful with lots to pick. We definitely ate too much. Never got to dessert as we were too full. Expensive though when you figure out what this meal would cost à la carte it’s comparable if not a better deal.

    I booked Delmonicos while visiting my son during family weekend at college to give him a break from campus food. There were few options in town for a nice steak, so I chose this restaurant despite generally not being a fan of chains. While none of us ended up going for the steak, we all had great meals. Portions were big, and we really enjoyed the bread and garlic butter. I especially liked that the alfredo was full of flavor while the pasta was not swimming in sauce. Our server was both pleasant and attentive, making the overall experience very good.

    The best part was the summer special with unlined tokens and $5 meals. I brought all 4 of my grandchildren 2-10 yo and 2-7 yo. They had such a wonderful time. The food is always good. The waitress ( can’t remember her name but her name tag said New Mon). Was so pleasant and patient. It usually costs me so much more to go with all the kids and eat but this was a great deal. Hope you offer it more times during the year as I will sure bring the kids!
