Author: Beth D'Addono

Cuisine: American, Creole

Price Range: $$$

10Best Says

Emeril created quite a splash when he took over this longstanding institution, poured millions into a sophisticated renovation and transformed a tired space into one of the city's swankiest eateries. Portions are mammoth - try the 20-ounce Delmonico, the sauteed rainbow trout with rock shrimp and ultra-rich crab meat imperial. Delmonico's white-table cloth elegance provides the perfect backdrop to the Creole-accented steakhouse menu. The restaurant offers a fantastic wine program and one of the best martinis in town. Ride the St. Charles Streetcar to dinner for an even more memorable experience. Once here, it is an easy walk to the French Quarter. Check out the new daily happy hour which features $.99 charbroiled oysters and $5 small plates prepared by Chef Anthony Scanio, along with half price wines by the glass and select bottles, and half price specialty and well cocktails.
