The fact this channel isn't casually sitting somewhere between 700k to 1.2mil sub's is criminal the production is there and he's charismatic & handsome. KZfaq algorithm is dumb.

I looked up the inflation rate for 40 cents in 1876 because I was curious about just how expensive that coffee was, and 40 cents was the equivalent of over $11 in today’s money. I guess this restaurant HAS always been super expensive haha. But from this video, it seems like it’s worth it, at the very least for a once-in-a-while special occasion

This channel is a hidden gem in the chaos of KZfaq 💎

I have many books describing dining at Delmonico's from the days of the early 1900's to today & it sounds amazing & this video shows how amazing I actually have a book with many of the famous recipes as well as pictures I love history of New York!

It's great to hear you got to visit so quickly after its reopening! Such a perfect meal seems like it was worth the wait.

Great segment James. I was taken to Delmonico's many years ago for a business dinner and was wowed by the atmosphere and quality of the food. Service was highly attentive too. Your expressive style is great as it shows you really enjoy your food. Keep these videos coming and have a great rest of the extended weekend.

You are one of the most straight to the point, incredible cinmatography even more exceptional that you are one man production. I'm going to NYC in 1 week and I thank you for all the reviews you made in the past 3 years, they are such great information for my first trip to NYC !

Just like to say thank you after seeing your food review for the steaks at Delmonicos steak restaurant. I went with my girlfriend really is best date restaurants in New York. Had the best ribeye steak I've ever had! That steakhouse knows how to cook a ribeye steak medium rare I even told the staff to say thanks to the chef! Top 5 steak restaurants in NYC!...Delmonico’s is number one hands down after seeing your food reviews. We love your food channel best food critic on you tube 🎉 Thank you again #steak #steakrestaurants #food ❤❤❤

Dude, you have an $80 classic steak and you deny yourself a glass of red wine with it? Come on.

I enjoyed your presentation and loved seeing the menu and the final bill. Looking forward to going there and enjoy the experience! Thank you

Completing my "binge" watching of your many offerings and I still marvel over your enthusiasm & joy for food & travel. Since subscribing to your channel, I have been pleased to see the steady increase in the numbers of views & subscribers. Yes, a true testimonial of the quality of your videos & reviews. Also, you have now obviously entered the realm of notoriety based on the numerous nasty critiques / comments issued for this review alone!. I am impressed by your handling with grace & patience to these verbal "slings" & "arrows"! Definitely, you were raised well by your parents. If I may share a personal comment about Delmonico's, my great-grandfather (Dominic Gandini) served many years as a line cook for the restaurant during the first two decades of the last century. Food & restaurants in NYC is very personal for me & family. This is Peter, & thank you for sharing this post!

This was a recommended video from my algorithm. Great video in different areas and looking through your playlists, it’s a must follow. Looking forward to watching several of them.

You popped up on my front page and I have to say you rock! Love the voice over and history. Keep it up! Subscribed

This was great! That salad looked incredible! Thank you for sharing this experience- now I’m hitting the like and subscribe because this was very entertaining! Well done! 🙌👏

So glad this iconic place is back. A true gem. 🥩

I was able to live vicariously through you. Now I know what it’s like. Thank you.

Great video. Simple. Straight to the point. Well done sir!👏👏👏

Almost 10k subs. Well deserved. You make some of my favorite videos on KZfaq.

I enjoyed this review very much! You have a kind and gentlemanly presence.

Glad you got to experience it! The two times I have been there in the past, were extraordinary experiences.

I like the way you embrace the total experience.

What a great video!! It was nice seeing you enjoy the restaurant! 😃 You gave great descriptions of each dish, too!

I am glad you enjoyed your experience as much as you did. It is nice that businesses are coming back, so many have closed and will never reopen, it is really sad. Jeff❤

Great video. I never really comment but will for authentic videos like this. I cannot wait to visit either. So happy they reopened. Please keep doing what you do..I enjoy your videos!

Thank your for this video, a dream came true! I found you coincidentally on the last weekend and am really enjoying your content. I binge watch an abundance of your videos everyday and now at the right time you deliver the restaurant I am looking forward to the most. In the Netflix show 'The Alienist' the characters are dining at Delmoico‘s multiple times and while following those well written dialogues I was in awe of the authentic scenery with those humongous paintings and the similar sized round dining tables with white tablecloths and antique silverware. Since then I followed the developments of the restaurant; interior-wise the new Delmonico‘s lacks the authenticity of the former restaurant-even if the latter already went with rectangular dining tables. According to your footage the lighting and seat positioning just feels odd to me. Thanks for this and all your other videos! I really enjoy your video style and how you mix your other interests, mainly running and reading, into the videos. I would like to see more vlogs and neighborhood explorations, as I really enjoyed your documentations of your days in Tribeca and Chicago. I would also be interested in a video where you rank all the restaurants in NYC you have visited compartmentalized in the different cuisines. Sincere thanks and best regards from Germany!

James, this all looks so amazing! Oddly, I've never been, but now they re-opened I have to! I haven't worked a September 11th since 2001, and usually try to treat myself on that day. I just may be at Delmonico's next week.

you analyzed the hell out of the ceasar salad with nearly surgical precision! and we are totally grateful to you for doing so!

New here I appreciate your video and attention to detail without being over the top Enjoyed it all I was not aware Demonicos was back ! Great to hear! Thanks for a great video James !

You can always add salt....most people's pallat are used to too much salt anyways

Now, you're making me want to go there next week when I'm in NYC. Thanks!!

Great review! Been visiting different resturants in Manhattan weekly and Delmonicos is next up on the list. Wish me luck. 🤞🏽

I will say my favorite steakhouse has been Gallaghers I started in 1978 when I was in college and I was dating the matride and I’ve been back through the steak Awsome blue point oysters my favorite and a bottle of either Pouilly Fume or a Beaujolais village of course starting with a dirty Stoly Martin shaken not stirred with stuffed olives with blue cheese to start with now that’s a fun night out with Awsome food I have to go soon delicious 🎉❤

I ate at Delmonicos during a brief visit to NYC in 2016. Between my son ans I, our bill was over $200. It was pretty good, and an interesting once in a lifetime dining experience.

It's such a shame that even though I ate there numerous times (I worked nearby), I did not appreciate the culinary significance of this place. Looks like I will need a revisit soon!

I like your personality, your simplicity and your positivity. Your video is straightforward, you're transparent about the prices (show us the menu and the bill), you judge the food honestly. I love it. Looking forward to more. If you keep doing these videos, you might grow a bigger following and be able to afford much more of these dinners haha. All the best from Germany

James Andrews is a hawt well spoken man, a reviewer befitting a city like NYC.

The steak and cheese cake both look delicious! The exterior of the building was great to see as well!

It’s come a long way since Matt, Kitty, Doc and Chester ate at the first one in Dodge‼️ 😉

Thank you so much for making this video it was wonderful Keep up the good work!

Way to shout out the staff, even the bus people!

I absolutely LOVE a proper Cesar salad. And THAT is a proper Cesar salad!

Well done my man! Definitely a must try for all discerning, carnivores visiting Manhattan!

I hoped they comped you anyway after your nice review. Nice video. Happy that they opened again.

First video I’ve seen of yours and since ending, you’ve gained a sub. Great upload, thanks 👍🏼

Love your review.....wish you would do them more often rhank you

First time viewing. I really enjoyed your video and the details you provided about the place, food, menu, staff etc. Thanks.

Bread Etiquette: In the U.S. break a piece of bread and then butter it before eating. No butter sandwiches or buttering a full slice of bread without breaking it first. Sauce Etiquette: In the U.S. use a teaspoon and place the sauce on the side of the steak and not on top of the steak. Dip from the portion from the side of the steak and not from the serving dish. Please don't lick your knife. That's dangerous, and you can hurt yourself. Glad you enjoyed the food. Lovely video.

This was an extraordinary restaurant review! I immediately subscribed to your channel. I hope you branch out and talk about anything your heart desires! You are wonderful!

Everyone needs to experience good food once in there life

You deserve a nice glass of red wine with that glorious steak!

It's hard to beat a good ribeye! I just found your channel today, first video too - I'll be watching more of your videos, take care James!

You do such a great job on your videos. Thanks for keeping things real.

Thank you for taking us with you! I didn’t know that they had finally reopened. Incredible food but yes…you have to take that wallet.

That Delmonico steak had my mouth watering. It’s one of my favorite steaks. So glad the restaurant opened again and also that it kept its old fashion charm. Very classic and appropriate for this type of restaurant. I agree the hash browns did not look that appetizing as it was a big blob of potatoes. I think I would prefer Cracker Barrel’s hash brown casserole over that one. Ha ha. Thanks for the video as I enjoyed it!

so happy to have delomincos opened again. been checking for three years. happy day

James, your experience at Delmonico's was a wonderful sight for many of us. I need to add this famed place to my bucket list when I'm next in NYC. One small point, just for informational purposes though. When tasting any bread item it is customary, in finer establishments at least, to break off a small piece of the baked goods and butter that alone. Thereafter, continue nibbling by repeating the subdivision method. Being of the older generation, this is how we were taught to approach a bread course. You may elect which ever style you feel comfortable with, but I felt compelled to let you know about this approach. Cheers.

That steak was perfection and I’d have it with sautéed mushrooms. One day I’ll eat at Delmonico’s.

That meal looked delicious! I just wondered why you didn't ask your server for salt as you felt the two dishes could use more. Great review!!

Thank you for representing us regular folks at fine dining restaurants - Brilliant channel !

Enjoyed your visit! Chef Ramsey number one rule: Season the food! I would have asked for some!

Next week I will go to the Delmonico's Restaurant

Watching you eat the hashbrowns with a fork and spoon had the staff spinning in circles in their minds 😂 How Gosche!

James, your video about Delmonico's was fascinating and add that to your handsome appearance and charming personality. I wish I had you as my dinner companion.

Editing on this video was good and I like the review style

Insanely good video and voice over. Why you're at 12k subs is beyond me. Should be in the millions! Also, I'd maybe spend that much for the experience once, just to say the say. Otherwise, if you cook, or are learning, you can produce the same quality. Or at least Strive to be close without having to spend $150

Best video yet.

From an old cowboy in Oklahoma I'd like to compliment you on ordering your steak medium rare. Makes a rancher's heart proud lol. Great video my friend.

Wow, what a wonderful vicarious meal! Thanks for sharing!

A couple of times I heard myself saying "So put some salt on it!" Everyone's taste is different and too little is superior to too much. Great review.

That salad looked excellent. That's probably all I could afford. Maybe a baked potato too, lol

I enjoy your channel very much, since you present all the best restaurants that I will probably never have the opportunity to eat at. I am from Southeastern Europe, and it is not likely that I will travel to the USA. Anyway, just thought to give you thumbs up and to leave a comment, and to say your channel is awesome! Have a good one.

Great video and review!

OUTSTANDING 😮😮😮😮 YOU GOT CLASS😅😅😅😅 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

finally.....glad you got to this place.......I LOVE IT.....their fillet steaks.....AWESOME.........and such great sides....

High quality video! Subscribed!

Wow, they finally opened up ! During it's down time I believe they filmed a Walking Dead episode inside the restaurant. Delmonico's is supposedly the first restaurant in New York to offer hamburgers. I am not entirely sure but I believe so. I may visit here in the near future. Great food vlog as always. Loved the look at that cheesecake, what a work of art.

Another winner of a video

Great review! I'm going to Delmonico's tonight for my first time. Been looking forward to it for a long time.

Totally agree with you regarding sauce. Steam should speak for itself. Really want to go to Delmonicos! I live in England, however I Love going to historic places in NYC. Pleased it's re-opened. Definitely visiting next time I'm there. I don't earn a lot, however always push the boat out for places like this........We are only here for a visit!

Great video, James! I stumbled across your channel and was pleasantly surprised by the content. You are charismatic, attractive and captivating. I felt like I was a privileged voyeur accompanying you on your culinary journey. Thank you for your candid and professional look into one of NYCs historic restaurants. I look forward to experiencing more of your insights and glimpses into NYC cuisine! Thank you too for sharing the costs of your visits as well, much appreciated!

Looks good but Being a Texan, I enjoy a grilled Holla Pino pepper with my steak. So if they can’t accommodate then it’s a No Go for me 🤠

Really enjoyed watching you eat and enjoy that steak. You earned a like and a sub!

Awesome review. You describe the food and service so well.

I had a ribeye from my local store 2 weeks ago. $30. It was great. Then I got one from Walmart $20 and it was also great.

ICall me old fashioned- but dressing nicely might have enhanced your dining experience, and showed the historic building the respect it deserves.

Learn something new every day!!! I've ALWAYS identified the Delmonico steak as being a New York! Rib Eye? Cool!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!

Amazing video!! I loved how it was a semi-reasonable set of dishes ordered and not a 4 digit check. Might go and try exactly the same stuff haha

thank u sir

That menu is surprisingly affordable. I’ll have to go there next time I visit.

I worked around the corner from Delmonico's and ate there several times before I retired (2008.) I'd love to go back now and compare the experience. I'm sure I would not be disappointed.

I was impressed with your knife skill/ when you inserted it in your mouth.

I always pause when a Chef talks about "New" and "Global flavors" on an uber-traditional menu! 😮

A delicious steak! I thought I’ll go vegan however after watching this, I’ve changed my mind!

Compared to so many higher end steak houses these days, I thought Delmonico's prices are relatively on par. I was expecting them to be a lot higher just due to the restaurant being so iconic.

Great job on the video. When I was younger, _much_ younger, I traveled easily 6 days a week for months on end. I made great money and I really loved my work, so it worked out. Anyway. I made it a point to treat myself at least once every trip. Roughly the same number, but 20-30 years ago. I never made it to _Delmonico's_ and I regret that. Work hard and be sure to treat yourself. Taking care *you* is very important. If for no other reason than, _nobody else will._

The ribeye portion consisted of 50% cap, explaining its exceptional tenderness. It's worth noting that typically, one wouldn't start with the cap first, but everyone has their own preferences. Delmonico's ribeye cut offers an impressive balance between the cap and eye, but the question remains: was the eye portion as juicy as the cap?

Regarding the salt.... you can always get the shaker out and add some, but you can't take it out of the food once prepared. There are people that are on low salt diets and those that don't care for salty food. These folks must be considered when cooking.

Well done. Comfortable to listen to. Great video.

You should have more subscribers you do make these videos exciting I’ve turned 5 of my foodie friends to your channel! Like I said I live in upstate NY Catskills about an hour and a half from the GWB so I’m back and forth into Manhattan I went to the Academy of Dramatic Arts back in 1978 so I go to auditions still always looking for good restaurants!! Keep up the great work!!

didnt see a single mention of how the steaks were aged and length of time, but they sure liked to include the farm names 🙄
