Delmonico’s New York City was named Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence for 2010.  This award honors wine list that generally offer at least 400 selections, with modest depth or superior breadth in at least on classic region.

John Mariani of Esquire says it best in Esquire on June 14th,

“The first full-fledged restaurant in the U.S. was founded by a Swiss sea captain named Giovanni Delmonico in 1837 down in the then-burgeoning Wall Street district, with individual, well-set tables, French wines, an à la carte menu, and a lady cashier. Every important personage and famous visitor, including Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray, dined at “Del’s,” and Samuel F.B. Morse sent the first transatlantic cable from a dining room. Over two centuries, Delmonico’s moved uptown (and closed during Prohibition), but the Beaver Street restaurant, with its marble portals from Pompeii, is still going strong. Along with a steak-and-chops-heavy menu, you can still get Oysters “Diamond Jim Brady,” and the original Lobster Newberg and Chicken a la Keene.”Read more: http://www.esquire.com/blogs/food-for-men/best-old-restaurants-061410#ixzz0r3P21d1H

 The Dining at Delmonico’s Cookbook tells it best, “Another Delmonico’s fairy tale begins with a man named Ben Wenber, a sea captain who sailed between Cuba and New York trading fruit. … At some point along about 1876, Wenberg announced that in his travels, he had discovered a new way to cook lobster.  He asked Charles Delmonico to bring a chafing dish and a lobster right to his table, where he proceeded to prepare the custacean with crea, cognac, sherry, sweet butter, and cayenne pepper.  … Chef Ranhofer (Chef of Delmonico’s) added his own refinements, and the dish was named…”
