I'm not sure what happened, but the steaks they served two of us were unacceptable. We each ordered…read morethe 14oz wet aged ribeye, medium rare. We were later met with a 1/3" thick cut that was medium well (to be fair, it's difficult to assess doneness as the steaks really weren't thick enough to have a distinct center). It genuinely confuses me why these steaks weren't caught at the pass. Also worth noting, Delmonico doesn't have cocktail service. The beer list was your typical "six random crafts, plus Budweiser." I would like to have seen a few more options. The wine list seemed...fine. The sides were decent, and each would be enough for two. The brussels sprouts to start were tasty, and the highlight of the meal. But the steak. oof. I would very much not go back.

Ooh, it's not often that I disagree with Yelp ratings, but something weird is going on with Sear…read more We were promptly seated (even though we were 5 minutes late for our reservation), in a half-filled dining area at 6:30 pm on a Wednesday. Our waiter promptly dropped off menus, but after my wife was undecided on what to order, he left and we didn't see him again for 15 minutes. He was a nice guy, but the staffing level was inadequate for the light traffic. When it came time to order our meals, we were informed that they didn't have their regular carrot or French onion soups, as well as two entrees. As we ordered, he informed us of a 3rd entree that was unavailable. After we ordered, his manager returned to inform us that two of the entrees we had ordered weren't available! I (sulkily) ordered the salmon and a house salad. Now, the house salad is a big bowl of iceberg lettuce with a few radishes, cherry tomatoes and onions. My wife didn't even bother to taste it, and I only ate a third of it. Our entrees were well prepared and nicely presented, but our waiter wasn't able to find his way back to refresh our drinks. After an elongated, two-hour dinner, I was left thoroughly unimpressed. There is something going on here, and my guess is that they are struggling to find staff, pay their suppliers, and maintain quality. I certainly didn't share the experience of other recent reviewers. My suggestion is that you wait for a handful of positive reviews before visiting.

We started our evening at Sear Steakhouse with some excellent drinks. The thyme mocktail was crisp…read moreand refreshing, and my husband's old-fashioned was fragrant and well-balanced, complete with a perfect bada bing cherry. His only note was a preference for a single large ice cube rather than crushed, but overall the bar clearly knows what it's doing. The appetizers set a great tone. Warm sourdough was fresh and comforting. I enjoyed the bright, crisp house salad, while my husband's pumpkin soup was silky, savory, and perfectly seasonal. We both ordered the 7-ounce filet mignon, and the kitchen truly delivered! His medium-rare was tender and juicy with a beautiful sear, and my medium-well was still succulent--proof of precise cooking. They have an outstanding variety of cool, reasonably priced side dishes. My husband was excited about the Queen's honey carrots which were tender and flavorful (though the honey glaze was very subtle) and the creamy mashed potatoes that are part of the steak dish, were nicely executed. I didn't realize my filet came with mashed potatoes underneath, so I ordered a loaded, baked potato as my side, and ended up with extra potato (which I'm not complaining about whatsoever lol). We also enjoyed the whiskey cream sauce with mushrooms, which added a gentle smoky creamy richness, and the onion soubise, which was pure sweet comfort. Dessert was a highlight, as we celebrated my husband's birthday - we ordered all three featured desserts: The crème brûlée had a perfectly crackled top and smooth vanilla bean custard, the flourless chocolate dessert was deeply rich with espresso notes, and the butter cake was the total star - warm, moist, and decadently buttery. Each dessert was excellent in its own way, but that perfectly sinful butter cake stole the show! The atmosphere was inviting--warm wood tones, comfortable booths, well-balanced lighting, and enough TVs near the bar to keep my sports fan husband happy. Service was friendly and pleasant, though we found ourselves wishing for a bit more attentiveness. With a very quiet dining room, very early in the evening (we had a 4 PM reservation), there were moments when water refills lagged and opportunities for wine suggestions went unoffered (and we were definitely wanting to order some red with our steaks, but gave up because by the time there was an opportunity, we were finished with our steaks). We also briefly looked into the small private dining room on our way through the bar, and while we were greeted politely by one of the employees who was sitting in there, it felt like they missed the perfect opportunity to highlight the space for potential events. That said, nothing detracted significantly from the experience--it was simply a matter of polish. A touch more proactive engagement could elevate an already strong offering into something exceptional. Overall, Sear Steakhouse delivered an enjoyable and memorable evening. The food, drinks, and desserts are clearly strengths, and with just a little added focus on service flow and guest engagement, this restaurant has all the makings of a true standout in Rapid City. We look forward to returning and trying new things!

The complimentary bread is appreciated though. Something to note: while this Italian restsaurant offers different pasta and pizza dishes, they do not offer entrees like chicken parm, steak, etc. Service: okay. It was attentive but also a little anxious to rush us. We were eating as a family, which means several young kids and a baby. Maybe the server interpreted most of us not actively eating as we were done, but there was still food on our plates, and my parents were eating their dishes. The server asked us if our plates were ready to be cleared away and if we wanted dessert, which felt a bit premature for the meal. Ambiance: It's a nice large space inside. You get a view of the open kitchen that's in the back. There's tons of seating options including booths or tables. There is also Sabatino's pizzeria next to this restaurant!
