Amazing!! Took my husband here for his bday and he was smiling the entire time he was eating the prime rib. The service was fantastic, I believe my servers name was Alex and he really went above and beyond. I appreciated how attentive he was and really made my husband’s bday special. You have to check this place out and get the carrot cake for dessert when u do! U will not regret it 🙂

Sat outside. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Branzino was excellent and as good as S&W in Vegas where we go frequently. NY Strip was cooked appropriately but the cut of meat was poor and very fatty. Far inferior on steak from both Vegas and Chicago locations.

We had the most incredible dinner experience at Smith & Wollensky! From the moment we arrived, the service was warm and attentive, and being seated at the chef’s table made it extra special. Every dish was perfectly prepared, and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed. We felt truly taken care of—such a memorable night. Highly recommend!

Felt like a school dinner hall upstairs. Noise level was off the charts loud and when I’m paying $300 for 2 people to have a steak a a few sides plus 1 glass of wine & 1 soft drink I don’t expect my steak to be served on a side plate. Wasn’t like Smith & Wollensky from 10 yrs ago.

We were welcomed with a glass of Prosecco in recognition of our 56th wedding anniversary. We felt that was “first class”. Every course was outstanding. Our main entrees, dover sole and veal chop, were prepared perfectly. Art, our server, was attentive & friendly. It has been 11 years since we have visited NYC. Smith & Wollensky was our first evening dinner choice in the city. Not disappointed & appreciated. Thank you for a memorable evening!
