I'm in disbelief that my sister has even chosen either of these restaurants for Mother's Day. (her choices used to be . . . ah, never mind, let's just say this is a huge miracle)

It's been a while since I've been to Delmonico & I've heard mixed reviews lately regarding service at August.

If y'all would chip in with the latest word, I'd be most appreciative.
Thanks!

I'd choose Delmonico. They're both very good, but I like Delmonico better. I find them more consistent, and the service much better and more personal.

I don't think you can can go wrong with either, though.

I love both restaurants but Delmonico has been working extra hard to make people happy. I will always go to August but I know one of Emeril's long time managers will be at Delmonico making sure everyone is taken care of, thats a good comfort level to have on any day.

Thanks! That's good news because she just told me Delmonico it is!

What are some of the things you like at Delmonico?
Also 2 in the party are vegetarians, who occasionally lapse for seafood.
