On a recent business trip to Madison, I had the opportunity to experience Demonico's.  As it's a rare occasion to hit a nice steak joint, I was definitely excited and eager to get in the door and sample the menu.  We ended up ordering almost every app and a variety of sides, in addition to my main course - the Tenderloin (ordered medium-rare - of course!).  \n\nWhile the ambiance is typical higher-end steak place, i.e. dark, formal, and warm (by the way, this is all good) and the server was great, the food certainly fell short of all my expectations.  The mussels were in a sauce that felt too watered down, the tuna app was average, as were most of the sides.  My steak was over cooked and dry.\n\nJohhny Delmonico's has all the makings of a great restaurant, but it maybe time to look for a better kitchen staff.
