Description

Tucked away near City Hall, Delmonico Restaurant offers an affordable buffet-style lunch and breakfast options, appealing primarily to local office workers. The atmosphere resembles a cafeteria, and while some diners appreciate the low prices and variety, others express concerns about food quality and service inefficiencies. Reports of stale salad items and lukewarm entrees tarnish its reputation, especially given the inconsistent order handling by newer staff. Yet, many patrons laud the kitchen’s culinary expertise, with commendable dishes and friendly service. Despite its flaws, Delmonico remains a popular choice, especially for convenient, budget-friendly meals during busy workdays.

I like this place! They prepare marvelous dishes, their menu is large, The chief cook in that place is a real authority in the kitchen, I love very much trying all their food. The dishes are consistently tasty, the service towards the clients is friendly. I often eat in this place and I not even once was disappointed. Highly recommended.

Been here twice now. I enjoy the selection of both salad and hot items, and the fact that it's slightly cheaper per pound than the other buffet style lunch places in the loop. Nothing particularly wowed me or made me want to come back for any individual item, but everything did have an ok flavor, and when hard pressed to find a place open past 2pm for lunch, this place fits the bill.

So does this place even consider how they need to check on the quality of the food they serve? I tried this out for the first time today. Salad was almost gone. Minimal amount of add ons. I got a small egg roll and 2 chicken wings . Got to y office and saw that the wings had been reheated several times over but were in fact cold and hard. The meat inside was a dark color so I’ll be nice and say they were from yesterday. The egg roll? Cold. Definitely several hours cold. The olives in the salad bar were definitely ready for the trash and while we are at it, throw away the tomatoes that have already lived well past their prime.Don’t do it.
