"Smith & Wolensky is our "go to" restaurant for our special occasions. It was our 26th Wedding Anniversary on 3/29. We had an awesome dinner, as always. Everyone was so very attentive. Our waitress, Casey, was so sweet & interesting. The Matre De, Damien, sang Happy Anniversary to us. We had another great experience, thanks to the wonderful service and friendly clientel."

"We were in town for business meetings and were able to book a table for 12 in a private room on that day. Everything was fine, but the wine list was over priced. We were still able to find good values."

"It's a steakhouse, sure, but this filet mignon was perfectly cooked, exactly as described, and the garlic and onion preparation was very rich and flavorful. The green beans were so tasty, we returned the next evening to simply order vegetables for a light dinner, and had the green beans again. We were there on Valentine's Day, but were not rushed at all, and our waiter was very helpful in answering questions and making suggestions. We will return!"

"I went to Smith & Wollensky during restaurant week and ordered from the three course restaurant week menu. I had a Caesar salad for my first course, which was my least favorite part of the meal. Most of my family ordered the same and had the same opinion about it. It did not have enough dressing, and I had a bad piece of lettuce in mine. For my second course, I had filet mignon with mashed potatoes and onion strings, which was all delicious. For dessert, I had their chocolate cake, which was also delicious. I would definitely go back there again for restaurant week but would skip the salad next time."

"I went with a group of 6 for restaurant week. Everything I had was really good until I got to the dessert. The chocolate cake was dry. I was really disappointed. Other than that everything about it was great, but a little pricey."
