Lobster Newberg

Lobster in a sauce of lobster bisque and cognac

Where it comes fromNew York's own

Delmonico's, the house that taught New York to dine out, gave the city lobster Newberg, in a sauce of cream and sherry, in print by the late 1800s.

Sources: Barry Popik, The Big Apple; James Blake Wiener, Swiss National Museum (2026).

At Delmonico's

Served today over a parsnip purée with cauliflower and smoked trout roe, under a lobster bisque scented with cognac, the house's own modern take for a dinner downtown.

From Delmonico's's own menu and pages, as we read them in November 2026.
