“Dining at Delmonico’s” is a colorful look at the history and recipes of Delmonico’s, America’s first Restaurant.

Delmonico’s history is one of “firsts”: the first American restaurant to use tablecloths, to offer private dining rooms, to furnish a separate wine list, to admit women diners, and to re-envision haute cuisine for the American palate.

Delmonico’s was where American diners were introduced to some of our most beloved dishes:

Many were created in Delmonico`s kitchen by New York`s first star chef, Charles Ranhofer; others were popularized here. And always heading the bill of fare was the Delmonico`s Steak, an unbelievably succulent 20-ounce prime rib-eye, grilled to perfection and topped with herbed butter, which remains the gold standard that other steakhouses try to emulate.
