I agree with the recommendation for Osteria Del Circo. A great meal without all the hype.

We had one of the most memorable meals ever at Picasso (could have been helped by my wife's big win that motivated us to try it in the first place) Loved the wine pairings - I'm learning and this was a great lesson.

As to Delmonico - NEVER WILL RETURN. Had their oysters and bit into the worst morsel I ever laid a tooth on. It reeked. While this can happen, their attitude was the problem. We were well dressed as well but their response was cold and distant as though we were trying to get away with a buck of theirs. My wife suggested that if he didn't believe us, he should smell the culprit - a huffy decline. The meal was ruined. Should have left. 1 appetizer comped - duh. I waited all night for illness to arrive.

Wrote a letter to the manager and "BAM" - a note of apology - Woop! Also, their bathrooms were trashed and a block away. BOYCOTT.......
