Smith & Wollensky Steakhouse - Miami

Horrible experience. Granted it was the "whole cow" special event but i was an hour in and was only served my first 2 courses. Didn't have another 5 hours to be there and left. What i tried felt rushed. Wish it was a better experience.

It was an special event, (the whole cow event) they were not prepare whatsoever, it was chaotic and the food arrived VERY late between courses and the food was very bland. Oh yeah and the staff and specially the manager was VERY RUDE couldn’t believe it.

Although the service and ambience was excellent for the entire cow event itself was not very well organized

Nice casual upscale place

Really fantastic food, made our anniversary feel special.

We celebrated our anniversary over The Weekend. First time going here. Unfortunately, our waiter took some time to take our order. Other than that service was great and the food absolutely delicious. However, noise level was a little too loud for our taste. We wanted a little more intimate time to talk and not have to speak a little louder.
Would definitely go back and ask for a much quieter table.

The food and service was excellent!

Great food and service, really enjoyed our visit

A bit expensive for the product provided... The menu could be more innovative.

disappointed w/ the way the food came out. we were a group of 13.

Excellent service and exceptional food. The view is spectacular and the ambiance is excellent

Excelente, nunca deja de sorprenderme son muchas veces las q he venido, la calidad de comida, amabilidad siempre volvera al S&W, aqui o en sus otras direcciones.

Amazing place

It was amazing!!!!!!! Best lunch ever, our server was so funny and helpful, the lunch was tasteful, well prepared!! In the end the chef came over to our table (which was very delicate of him ) so we made the compliments directly for him. And the desert was delicious 💖 certainly will be back

It's really a great location and fantastic food. It's not cheap but the money worth!

When I arrived at the restaurant, I introduced myself and asked if we could go to our table.
The instant response was "Sir you must wait 20 minutes, if you wish you can wait at the bar". I do not understand how it is possible that they could not have our table ready when I had reserved it with more than 24 hours in advance. And when I resigned myself to wait at the bar, it was literally full with no available place. We feel disrespected as a person and as a client. When they told us that the table was ready, there was so much lack of space between the tables that after sitting, the waiters could not serve each one of us because they simply could not physically reach each one of us. Also all the other customers around us were literally dressed in pullover, short and flip flops and we were the only tuxedo dresses, we really felt like we were in the wrong place. THIS was our very first visit AND IT WAS THE LAST ONE. :-(

Best overall restaurant with the most amazing views!

A nice place but reservation timing not respected. Excellent comfort food but limited menu. A real family place. A rare classic in Miami Beach.

Cold ambiance, slow service (30 minutes for a dessert), very expensive, bad wine. Forget it!

He came to celebrate my sons birthday and enjoyed the beautiful dining experience

Birthday
Negative side- couldnt seat outside

Asked for an outdoor table and they said we would have to wait 1.5 hours past our reservation time. Not worth eating inside.

Never been a huge fan of S&W but this was a great experience. Food was great and the service was really great!

Great food and polite/attentive service; highly recommend

We hosted our granddaughter for lunch on a special occasion. The overall experience was terrific. We had asked to be seated next to a window, and our request was honored. The service and food were first-rate. And the desserts were very special. This is a great "special occasion" venue. Thanks for making our day special!

It was my first time and I couldn’t be any happier of my experience. My server Julian Was great attentive and fun he was a key for this experience to be perfect. Can’t wait to go back.

Service was not so great at the beginning but got better after. Setting was tied for six and was sone issue with our reservation but the food was great as always

Rafael R was amazing server would definitely recommend

My wife and I dine at S&W often, so this review is only a reflection of our last visit on Sunday October 28. The meal was very disappointing. I ordered the double Lamb chops cooked medium and they came out beyond rare (virtually uncooked). Not the kind of meat I like to eat rare. Even after the waiter took it back to the kitchen, the meat was still very fatty and gamey, which is not customary at this restaurant. My wife ordered a medium rare filet and it came out well done and dry. This has never been our experience at S&W and we can only surmise that the kitchen was doing a poor job managing the orders (the restaurant was packed that night). On the plus side, our waiter was very attentive, the bread pudding was amazing and the manager removed the lamb from our bill, PLUS an additional $10 discount. While I would have preferred to have a savory lamb dinner, every restaurant is allowed a mistake on occasion. This was made much better by the fact that management recognized and immediately remedied the complaint. I'll be back soon.

Yay! I loved my steak, get it on! Yummy

Sehr schöne und romantische Location, geniale Aussicht (wenn man draußen am Wasser sitzt) und super freundliche Bedienung. Speisekarte und Essen ebenfalls ausgezeichnet - insgesamt eine klare Empfehlung.

Wife and I love this place. Great food and service with a million dollar view. If you like top quality steak and seafood, this is the place. It is an institution and huge so you can get a table - consistent.

Amazing!!!

S & W never disappoints! Great service from Angelo

Excellent food and service as expected at Smith & Wollensky, thank you!

Had a nice dinner and celebrated my wife's birthday with friends we had not seen for awhile. Cocktails were excellent. Good wine list but not many value wines. Steak was superb but pricy. Shared sides of lobster mac, sautéed spinach, and hash browns; all very good. Excellent coconut cake for dessert--complimentary for my wife's birthday. Service was attentive.

No one can believe it.... For the last 30 years it has been my favorite Steak House in south Florida

Perfect place at South Pointe. Enjoy the sundown, the view on downtown, the cruising boats leaving ....at an outside table close to the water line. Perfect service throughout - from reception lady to waiter. Famous for steaks but also excellent sea-food options. Very good and comprehensive wine list. I will always go to this place while being in Miami Beach. Wine prices are reasonable while food is slightly overpriced. But this is somehow true for almost all higher standard places in Beach. Overall: I will do it again✓

Excellent restaurant with great food and views of the bay.

S & W is a place for good eating. We have been frequent visitors for as good as the place was open. Fans of the NY one, this has a unique location and ambiance. Food excellent, service, by our favorite waitress excellent, there may be a single complaint, wines are too expensive for the quality of the selection.
