Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse Restaurants are noted for their superb atmosphere, nostalgic music, fine food and a staff that really makes you feel at home. On Fathers’ Day 2021, I waited patiently for my daughters Kristen and Cassandra to show up for a Fathers’ Day dinner that we had not shared in years. They never showed, not even a courtesy call, thanks to our dysfunctional family courts, Judge Daniel King and vindictive custodial parent, Kelly (Hawse) Usherwood. She worked overtime for many years to alienate them from me.

It’s a standard feature these days when lawyers concoct false petitions as a custody tactic to incite lucrative conflict between cooperating parents. Never mind the consequences to innocent children and families on such occasions, there are easy fees to be collected and federal revenues to be earned in this manner. As a dedicated dad and former civil rights attorney, I can attest to the carnage reflected by my gross mistreatment on this special day, another retribution for a conscientious stand against my profession.

Although unaware of my personal crisis on that day, I was fortunate to receive a Fathers’ Day gift from restaurant management at the Utica, New York location, 147 North Genesee Street, just south of New York Thruway exit 31 (I-90). It brought me a measure of unexpected happiness, and I took advantage of that gift with a fine steak dinner today (Sunday, December 12, 2021) for the holidays. It was a dinner coupon which was soon to expire. What a sweet Christmas present as I will again be denied my precious daughters this holiday season.

We should all thank the Delmonico’s restaurant chain for their ongoing faith in families, American traditions, their loyal patrons and making our days so special. You will see their locations in upstate New York and Orlando, Florida on the gift card attached to this post above. Treat yourself to a visit flavored by the timely photos below.
