Smith & Wollensky Steakhouse - Miami

Everything ok

Took over an hour to get our entrees. When they finally arrived some items were missed or delivered 10-15 minutes later. Some items were under cooked, others were over cooked. Serious kitchen issues although waitress was attentive and on top of issues!

Anniversary. Great meal

Only downside to our experience was that the Miami Spice wasn’t marked at 5 pm for the reservation, which was disheartening to hear since we drove all this way. Overall, we made the best of it since it wasn’t out first time there. We tried to the lunch burgers with the Truffle Mac & Cheese, and the steak tartare (sans onions) and we were very pleased.

Our waitress made my birthday amazing, from the bottle recommendations to making me feel special singing happy birthday

We were seated upstairs on a great window overlooking Government Cut. Our waiter was friendly and personable.

The food for our table of 5 took quite a long time to come out. Other tables that arrived after us where served before us. No apologies were made for the tardiness.

Excellent service! Beautiful view! Scrumptious food!

Never disappoints

We had a good time.

Non delude mai carne buonissima e servizio perfetto

Our waiter Carlos made our experience a great one.

Was expecting more...went for a Birthday got a Happy Anniversary card. Was not impressed at all. Our waiter was amazing though.

Would’ve given it a higher overall rating except for the fact that it took over 2.5 hours to get our dinner !

Very poor service, took 15 minutes to take our drink order. Took forever to come back to our table to serve drinks and take order. They brought our entrees prior to our salads and starter. Saw waiter barely at all was preoccupied with other tables. Music was too loud and coming out of broken speaker, was annoying. The sun was shining in my face for half hour no one offered to pull the blind down to block it. Never been to this location before, but I will not be back. It is not at all close to the experiences I had at other Smith & Wollensky restaurants which was great. There are too many steak restaurants that have way better service and class then waste my time coming back here again.

My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary here and ordered from the Miami Spice menu. I ordered the petit filet and it was, at best, mediocre! I loved the atmosphere and view from this restaurant but I think they downplay their quality because the spice menu is significantly less than their standard prices. I was under the impression that the point of Miami Spice was to help bring in new business and showcase their specialties, but maybe I'm wrong? I would have been very angry to have paid the normal $52 for a mediocre steak, just saying!!

It’s a beautiful restaurant, a great bar, good wine selection. Service was impeccable and the food memorable. Very impressed with the Miami spice menu. And the view…

Very gorgeous food and simply excellent in every way! Loved our server, an Argentinian gentleman. Perfect birthday dinner.

L odeur extérieure était horrible.. et l’intérieur beaucoup trop bouillant
Les prix bien trop excessif pour ce type de qualité !!
Les légumes n étaient absolument pas cuit et la viande bonne mais pas exceptionnelle non plus
Pour payer ce prix je trouve alors important d avoir au moins une nappe blanche et pas être servie dans un type cantine bas de gamme sur ses tables en plastique! Une honte

The service was outstanding! Regretfully, we do not remember the server's name but he is from Venezuela, I think. The potatoes could have been a little better but the Miami Spice was wonderful and it was overall a fabulous experience. We plan to return. The steak was excellent and the outdoor dining was a treat. My favorite place to dine in Miami Beach so far.

Great place

Great venue and vibe!

Poor service from our server today. No warm welcome, no mention of specials or description of cuts of meat etc.

$172 + tip for two adults and a small child you expect good service.

Sadly will not return for the rest of our stay

Our waiter Craig was amazing and very knowledgeable even though he had just moved to Miami and started working there! View was beautiful and food was delicious!!! Definitely would recommend!

I’ve never been treated so poorly or talked down to like a child from the manager. Terrible experience. Embarrassing for the restaurant. NEVER will be back

In addition to the food being delicious, the water views and restaurant were beautiful! Additionally, the staff (Fernando in particular) were great and made our dinner even that much better! Great cappuccino as well.

As always, Smith & Wollensky meets every mark, good service, good food and with great views of government cut and Fisher Island. It’s the perfect spot to have lunch or dinner with out of town guests. They consistently serve quality food without too much fanfare. Their cocktail and wine service is always stellar: with an extraordinary list!

The service was very professional, friendly, and courteous, and all our food and wine was amazing! This was definitely one of the highlights of my vacation in Miami.

I was celebrating my Masters graduation and everything was wonderful! Excellent service and excellent Miami spice menu

Very nice place food was excellent.
Our waiter was so nice and attentive.

We had an amazing time. The food was great, the views of Government cut are amazing and the service was spectacular with our waiter Carlo. I highly recommend this place to watch the sunset and enjoy a good cocktail and definitely request to sit with Carlo if you can.

Along with Joe’s Stone crab, this restaurant is the only other South Beach classic . Old school menu done right. Great location- probably the best on the beach. Good bar to boot. Anything on the menu is pretty good. Always eat outside for an even better view and ambiance.

Very good!

Excelente food and service

The service has definitely deteriorated the past couple visits. The waiters never come check on the table and blame the kitchen for not bringing out the food. I reduced the tip to reflect the service and the waiter chased me outside to yell. Extremely unprofessional. The restaurant doesn’t seem as busy as in the past perhaps due to the poor service.

Absolutely amazing atmosphere, and great food. Service was spectacular and would definitely go again.

Great service. Food was good. We sat outside and enjoyed the view and breeze.

Great place for a special night out. The service from valet to waiter is excellent. The food is also excellent. 17$ for a Chivas on the rocks a little pricey though. Beautiful view of the bay from the restaurant. You can walk a walk way from the restaurant along the bay either before or after eating.

We had an abrupt start with a waiter being very condescending due to our menu choice to participate in the Miami Spice option. Once the waiter was changed we had a fantastic time. The food was delicious and we had an amazing first dining experience at this restaurant.

We went Friday night for a family dinner. It was also my daughter's birthday. The food was great, steaks were amazing. Service on the other hand was not. When they sat us at the table we never received menus. Exactly 7 minutes later they came with menus and water. Waited another 10 minutes for waiter to come back and take our orders for drinks and appetizers. When we asked for dessert, I asked him if they could sing happy birthday to my daughter. He brought the cheesecake with a candle and just walked away, it was so ackward that we had to sing ourselves after. The whole time we were there we heard over 10 other birthdays being celebrated. It's a shame the service was so horrible because we did enjoy the food. I guess RED the steakhouse will be our friday night spot as usual.
