The meal was great and the service exceptional. We were lucky enough to have Megan as our service and she was lovely. The care she showed out party was much appreciated and her attention to our table as our meal progressed was superb. Overall, an excellent experience in celebration of a great day for our family. Thanks!

We just waited too long for everything except the food itself. We were seated almost 15 minutes before the waiter came to take a cocktail order, then the cocktails took forever to arrive. Our food came swiftly after it was ordered. We waited too long to order dessert and then the 1 dessert our table ordered to share (which was a slice of cake, so it only had to be cut and plated) took 20 minutes to arrive and it was delivered by the manager, so I think it was understood that we had been waiting too long, but -- no acknowledgement. Then we waited a long time to settle up. Our waiter was very busy - we understand - but the restaurant itself was *NOT* busy. There seemed to be a ratio of one staff person per guest in terms of the number of people working in the restaurant. The food, drinks, wine, dessert - all excellent, no complaints there. We will go back because this was an anomaly, but honestly for a dinner for four that cost $400 with tip, we truly should be "waited on."

Very pleased with the service and food. The waist in the bar was excellent while we waited for our table and the manager quickly helped us with a different table as the first was not in a nice location, being somewhat buried in a corner. Ultimately they made a change that led to a very nice dinner.

From needing to change our reservation time due to my son's graduation running a little longer than anticipated to walking out of the restaurant ... one of our families most enjoyable dinner's in Boston. Restaurant is a bit loud, but it made the graduation celebration more festive.

Prices have gone way up since the last time I was here, but it was a special occasion and S&W steaks are great, and it is a festive environment. Our waitress was excellent, and made us feel very welcome, and contributed to the positive environment. My 3 companions all enjoyed their steaks, 1 filet and 2 NY Strips. Unfortunately my Bone-in NY strip was overcooked-ordered medium rare, which my waitress agreed. Had it not been such an expensive meal, I would have sucked it up. But for $80, I didn't feel that I should settle for an overcooked steak. The waitress took it back, apologized, and explained it would take some time to cook a new one. Another server came back 10 minutes later with a very rare steak, which was light brown on the outside. My first impression was that the chef was not happy I had returned my steak, and was making a point. But it was so rare I couldn't eat it. I very rarely, if ever, return something to the kitchen, but now I had to do it twice. I was embarrassed and my guests were uncomfortable. And so it came back a third time, cooked on the outside, but still extremely rare on the bone. By this time my companions had all finished their meals. The waitress took it away again, was highly apologetic, and brought a desert for no charge, and removed the steak from my bill. $600 later I left, hungry, and got a burger on the way home. We had a nice evening other than that, and I would say that our waitress was so nice that she saved the night. I am very surprised this happened at S&W. I have been going for years, starting in NY on Third Ave. and never had an experience like this.

Asked for seat by the window. They couldn’t guarantee when I made the reservation. Fine. But The table we ended up with could not have been further away from the window. Husband ordered steak medium rare. Got it well done. Waited way too long for them to bring another steak. Rest of the table was already done eating. Steak comes back bloody. Didn’t bother to send it back again. Rest of food was mediocre, a crime given the prices.

The food was delicious, our server was attentive and helpful but was also able to provide enough space so we could enjoy our meal. The scallops with garlic butter and bone marrow was great and the steak was excellently cooked. Being a mid-week night, the place was on the quieter side which I preferred. I'm curious to how a Friday or Saturday night would be. Definitely a nice place to go to with great wine options and great food.
