    The food, wine and service were amazing as always. However, Smith & Wollensky used to have a dress code and people would dress up to go there. We were seated between 2 guys in baseball caps and sweat pants and 2 women who looked like they just left the gym. S&W cannot keep the pricing they do if the room looks like a fast food joint at the mall. If you expect to sell $350 dinners, then they need to up their game back to what it used to be. Otherwise, this is becoming a very expensive TGIFridays.

    We had a wonderful meal, and the steaks are absolutely fabulous. The only feedback would be the fresh horseradish that is accompanying the oysters was very dry and needed to be shredded a lot finer.

    I frequently visit S&W for their excellent Fiilet Mignins and exquisite service. I had a reservation, and we were seated promptly. The waiter recognized me and after greetings, we ordered steaks and red wine (Malbec) to go with the steaks. We also had he delicious chocolate mousse desert. All in all, a wonderful lunch.
