STK or Delmonico’s?

Looking for everyone’s experience at either places. Trying to decide on a good steakhouse for my birthday dinner.
TIA

 

I haven’t been to Delmonico’s, but I took my wife to STK a few years ago and wasn’t impressed. The atmosphere is fun if you’re looking for an upscale lounge/club vibe without going to a club, but our food was very average. It’s been some time, but I also don’t believe the steaks were cooked to the proper temperature.

We also felt very rushed through the entire meal. You could tell all they cared about was turning our table over. I think the whole experience start to finish was less than an hour. I don’t think I would go back.

 

Delmonico's is more of a "real" steakhouse, whereas STK is basically a nightclub that happens to serve steak.

 

It is so loud in STK that you can barely hear yourself think. I went there and paid $120 for a 24-oz. Porterhouse and was not impressed. I was kicking myself for not going to Joe's and getting a better 30-oz. Porterhouse for less money and their hash browns. I'd choose Delmonico.

 

First time @ STK a few weeks back and plan to revisit in the future.
The ribcap, doughnuts and flourless cake were phenomenal.
Note : the ribcap may have only been a special as its not normally on the menu.

GR @ Paris always has the Ribcap and always great. They also have outstanding desserts.

Not yet familiar with Delmonico.

 

hit the nail on the head

 

My one time at STK 2 years ago - way too noisy for us, steak was fine but not great.

I have not made it to Delmonico’s yet, but my daughter and sil said it was one of the best steaks they ever had, they both loved the service too.

 

Delmonico for sure! For all the reasons above. Outstanding food and service.

 

I have done both - including STK just a few weeks ago. I loved the ambiance of STK and the food was good (the jalapeno grits!). Fun cocktails. It does seem like a nightclub.

Delmonico's was a bit ago and the ambiance is average at best. But the good was amazing. The best steak I have ever had. And everything from the popovers to the steak to the dessert was top notch. I would choose that one again.

 

Delmonico is absolutely top notch; I've never been to STK and, based on what I've read in this thread, that's unlikely to change anytime soon.

(Just an FYI, the name of the restaurant is Delmonico, not Delmonico's....not trying to single out the OP, just mentioning it since the majority of responses in this thread have gotten it wrong.)

 

I'm admittedly guilty of that...

 

STK is a trendy see and be seen place. Delmonico is old school. STK has better ambiance and hipper clientele. Delmonico has better food. Delmonico also has the best bourbon list in Vegas (at crazy prices too). I would choose Delmonico, but that's because it caters more to my preferences.
