text: While on an extended stay at the Palazzo we decided to try Delmonico I made a reservation through Open Table We were seated promptly but at a table that was less than desirable where the waiter had to stand behind me while serving us He was quite pushy and brusque My wife ordered the half duck as she loves duck Right after we were served the waiter returned and asked if everything was OK My wife had taken one bite from the duck leg and she said that things were OK But as she continued to work on the rest of the duck it seemed to become very tough like it had been over microwaived She signaled the waiter over and rather than handling it professionally he asked in a rather accusing manner why she had said the duck was OK when first asked This made us feel very uncomfortable The waiter did remove the duck and did not charge us for it However we just wanted some excellent food I will never return to any of Emerils restaurants based on this encounter If you want a good meal while at the Venetian Palazzo go to Bouchon where you will be treated well and the food is great Just to be balanced I will say that the rib eye that I had was good
