Delmonico, an icon in the New Orleans restaurant industry, has been in business since 1895. In 1997, Chef Emeril Lagasse became the owner of the two-story Garden District building and began an extensive historic renovation, honoring the heritage of the building, and embracing the restaurant's history. Emeril's Delmonico is located in a two-story structure located on the edge of the historic Garden District. The building is over one hundred years old and has been described as both Victorian and Edwardian in design. The interior reflects a classic understated elegance with high ceilings, wood floors and large paned windows overlooking St.Charles Avenue. The menu at Emeril's Delmonico is Classic New Orleans Creole, reinvented for the contemporary palate. Menu items include Pan Fried Redfish Meuniere or Amandine with Brabant Potatoes; 20 oz. Bone-In Ribeye with House-made Sauces and sides including Delmonico Potatoes, Lobster Macaroni and Cheese, and Southern Cooked Greens.

Upper management at Emeril's Delmonico includes Saleem Nawaz, General Manager and Shane Pritchett, Chef de Cuisine. For reservations, please call 504-525-4937.
