- TTimothyNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe were taking a 90-year-old woman out for her birthday. Our first experience started at the curb out front with a waitress offering to help with the wheelchair. Our reservation was ready for us when we walked in and were promptly seated at a table that could comfortably accommodate the wheelchair. The waitress I'm sure told us her name, but I am terrible with names and don't recall at the moment. She was there in a jiffy with the menus, and offered to take our drink order and was very patient while we maneuvered the wine list. She returned with the drinks shortly thereafter and asked if we needed time with the menu which we did. Funny how the three of us all settled on the same thing - the Sliced Sirloin, with a lobster tail add-on for our guest. The bread came out quickly followed by the entrees a short time later. The timing of everything was perfect. The food was delicious and at the end the waitresses all came clapping with the dessert for our guest. The evening could not have been more perfect from start to finish. I noticed the manager wandering through the restaurant regularly, probably making sure everything was running like clockwork. The bar was packed all night, and it sounds like they have a great happy hour. we'll be back very soon to check that out, but I highly recommend this place for dinner.More infoDelmonico's Italian Steakhouse - Albany$$$$• Steakhouse• Albany•4.6

While we have had octopus, pork and short ribs before, never with the flavor and tenderness.More infoYono's Restaurant$$$$• Contemporary American• Albany•4.2
