Delmonico's Lobster House

Whether your pleasure is steak or lobster, this is the place to go for either! This delicious steakhouse is situated right on Ventura Blvd., in Encino, CA. The customer service is second to none. Every dish we ordered was seasoned to perfection. We started out with a cup of Boston chowder and it was superb. Nice and creamy with chunks of clam and diced potatoes—the freshness was undeniable. We also had the crispy calamari, which was a perfect 10 for 10. My 15 year-old son had the surf and turf, lobster tail with filet mignon served with mashed potatoes and sautéed corn and devoured it within minutes. When he finally came up for air he gave it a 10 for 10. My 12 year-old daughter and my husband had the grilled sea scallops and shrimp with grilled corn in lime butter sauce and mashed potatoes and it looked absolutely delish! They both gave it a 10 for 10. I likewise had the shrimp and sea scallops but substituted my starch for sautéed veggies. Absolutely scrumptious!! For desert we had the chocolate cake with chocolate sauce AMAZING!!!, the pecan pie with whipped cream to die for!!!, and the super star of the day, the fresh apple tart a la mode! Now that dish??? INCREDIBLE!!! Would highly recommend this delicious restaurant.

The food we ate was great except the lobster bisque. Wasn't a fan of the richness and kinda gave ravioli vibe instead. But the cocktails were great and the rest of the food and dessert. I highly suggest you ask the waiters what they recommend if it's your 1st time. They are all great and fast servers. Food was freshly cooked so don't think your gonna get in and out fast. I think that was another thing I liked abt it that the food was really made to order from scratch. I even customize my plate for no extra charge.

We celebrated a birthday here. Very good food and atmosphere. We went for an early dinner and had an excellent time. The desserts were also amazing. Happy hour was also in progress and looked like a good time. Would definitely recommend this place for dinner!

Fantastic buffet brunch! Where are you going to get unlimited lobster tails, prime rib, raw bar, cold salads, breakfast, desserts, champagne, juice coffee for $55?! Such wonderful service and plentiful refills of champagne. Best value in Los Angeles he's by far!!

First off, shoutout to Chef Tony for the amazing food and hospitality! I didn't get their buffet but based on what I saw and for the price tag, it's pretty unbeatable! Come with All you can eat lobster and steak w/ mimosas I don't remember the name of the pasta but if you look at the picture it's the one with lobster. That one was amazingggg, my gosh lol. Just show that pic to your waiter and he'll tell you what that is and go get when you visit! Might be my new steak and seafood place in the San Fernando Valley :

We went there for dinner on Saturday. Arrived at 515pm and the place was empty. I was so looking forward to try their lobster bisque soup. When they brought the menu I noticed the prices were different from what I saw on internet. Anyway we ordered soup, crab cakes and pork chops. The soup was lumpy and didn't taste like lobster at all. For me it tasted like it was from a can. Crab cakes were fried and tasteless. Pork chops were dry. We didn't like the food at all. No wonder it was empty on Saturday evening. Thev place is definitely overpriced. Would not recommend this place

Great service, food and drinks amazing. I gave 4 stars cause I came for the first time, the opening from covid. I'm sure if times was normal I would give 5 star but I want to save that extra rating for when I go back which I most definitely would. Update absolutely amazing restaurant with the BEST staff and customer service. 5 Star all day.

Great atmosphere and service. The food was excellent. I had the surf and turf special with the ribeye which was cooked perfectly the had a buffet that looked amazing as well. The atmosphere was great. We felt private in our booth. I wouldn't show up in jeans, but a tie is not required.

Wow. This is a little gem. From the outside it is VERY UNASSUMING. An old style dining room that makes you feel like you're in New England. There is also an outdoor patio option for seating where there was live music. They have cute little booths with a curtain for privacy. They have a VERY EXTENSIVE BUFFET. Enough lobsters to make your eyes roll. Their food portions are huge and the lobsters were well worth it! My husband ordered the Dynamite Lobster, I had the Stuffed Delmonico Lobsters. Both 2 pounds. We also tried the clam chowder and calamari. The Calamari was well seasoned and very tasty. The clam chowder was good but not great. It was on the thin side and could use more clams and thickness. The lobsters were well seasoned and juicy. Their baked potatoes were amazing! All in all very good. I ordered one apple martini and I had a little buzz after the one drink! Nice pour from the bartender! We ordered the kids pasta and that was also delicious. All in all, we had a great time. Our server Gorge Ramirez was fantastic, on time and very accomodating. The host that seated us was also very accomodating and the manager came by to see how our experience was going. 5 star service, 5 star food and great atmosphere!

We had a wonderful time. The food was great music was good. My mom enjoyed the whole atmosphere.
