    We were seated upstairs which felt like like a event space and not a fine dining restaurant. Noise level was unbearably loud and ambience was non-existent. Service was brisk and felt a little rushed for a quick turnover. It really felt like a tourist trap where they were only concerned about serving you quickly and getting you out the door. Medium rare porterhouse for two came out rare so asked to cook a little longer. Of course it came back overcooked. Asparagus was just bland broiled. I was overall very disappointed.

    Outstanding experience as always! Smith & Wollensky’s is far and away the best steakhouse in New York and what you should be thinking about when you think of a New York steakhouse. Special shout out to the managers Nick and Helena as well as Frank G and Art on the wait staff for making this evening extra special!

    Service was awesome! Food was not the best. My medium rare filet was too rare enough after I sent it back. Lots of fat in the sirloin that my husband had.

    The wine dinner after 8pm Th, Fri and Sat is a bargain. Nice selection of appetizers, salads, entrees and desserts. Sides are extra but you will take food home! Wines were very nice and the service incredible.

    We sat outside so we could be with our favorite waiter, Benny. As always, his service is outstanding. We had nice meal although our steak was truly overcooked and quite a disappointment. Didn’t send it back.
