    We have had countless amazing experiences at S&W. But this time the Porterhouse wasn't up to their normal quality. Everything else was typical first rate. I would absolutely choose S&W. Even the greats miss a pitch every once in a while.

    We were very disappointed. We had a large group and were put in their back room no view of the water. For the prices we expected much more. It was so loud in the room we couldn’t hear each other.
