   We had a good meal outside by the bay it was very relaxing. My Steak was seasoned but a little on the dry side however I ordered it Med well and they had to butterfly it. The cream spinach was not hot when it came out the peppercorn sauce was watery. The wine was good I had the SW red blend. The bread was hot and went down well with the butter. Our waiter was nice service was good. Ok steakhouse food wise but the location and view was amazing

   Our steak came out Rare instead of medium. Server could not be found for at least 20 min. We ended up sharing my steak so that my husband didn’t just watch me eating. We were completely finished eating by the time he came back. We were ready to go home by that point., so they took it off the bill. I believe he had too many large party tables at the same time and was not able to handle our table on top of it.

   This was our first time there and we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary (I added this to the reservation). Our reservation was for 5pm on Friday. The hostess wished is a happy anniversary and sat is at what turned out to be one of the worst locations inside the restaurant. They had three tables facing the water in the walkway on the way outside and to the kitchen. The view was nice but we heard all of the servers and all the kitchen noise plus constantly having people walk past on their way in our out. The inside was empty and there were other tables facing the water that would have been better. It was our first time but the hostess should have known better. It took longer than expected to have anyone bring a menu and then to get a server. Once we had a server he was fantastic. Attentive and friendly. The food was amazing. We had the Oscar Filet and the twin petite filets with a lobster tail and whipped potatoes. The steaks were amazing cooked very nicely and the lobster was incredible. The potatoes were very good too. We had the s'mores dessert which was also fantastic. We've been other places where good has been great and they made a bigger deal of the occasion we were celebrating. No one else congratulated us nor did they do anything special with the table or the dessert. I expected more from such a "fancy" place. Food was a 5 service at the table with our server was a 5 but attention to detail was a 2! I know they can do better.

   Outstanding service and exquisite food. The maître d' and the whole staff made us feel welcome and attended to our every needs from beginning to end. We praise them all for making Smith & Wollensky among the best places to eat and have a great time. It was a great first impression and we will be back again soon.

   Amongst other things, we ordered the New York Sirloin, medium. When it arrived it was rare and cold. Sent it back but when it was returned to the table it was full of fat and grizzle and couldn’t eat it. Not the usual standard for our favorite “steakhouse” When we mentioned the fact to the waiter, the waiter brought a manager who took the steak to the Chef and when he came back, we were offered us a complimentary desert. Upon reflection, we thought the management should at least have compted the steak, if not the whole meal. After all, we came to eat steak. After mentioning this to the Manager on our way out we were given a refund for a couple of drinks we had ordered at the start of the meal. A disappointing meal, and in our opinion, very badly handled.

    My wife and I eat at nice steakhouses all over the country, this place doesn’t come close to comparing to ANY of them, it was terrible. Our server, Lenore, was unfriendly and unprofessional, and we had to bother her to get anything. She never even removed our menus from our tiny table. Our tiny booth, in a back area where server carts full of dirty dishes were stored, looked out of filthy windows at the supposed great view. The food was so-so, with the Angry Shrimp appetizer being the best. But our filet mignons had no flavor. Also, PLEASE clean out your salt shakers, they are disgusting and clogged! This place MAY have been special back in the day, but it is anything but now. It was so bad it was comical. At least we had a good laugh while we were there. My advice, AVOID SMITH AND WOLENSKYS AT ALL COST! BTW, we almost always tip 30-40% for good service, but Lenore got our version of a slight, a mere 20% tip.

    Got an outside table right away no waiting. Service was amazing and the food super delicious including the complimentary chocolate cake provided due to my birthday. Ambience was wonderful as the weather was nice, excellent views of the water, cruise ships passing right in front of you, good music. Totally recommend this restaurant

    S&W is an iconic Miami Beach restaurant offering the South Beach ambiance, excellent service and extraordinary food/meals. And, the bartenders mix the best Manhattans! A must when visiting the Beach!

    Good definitely went down market and others in Miami are much better quality. Been visiting for years but will no longer. What really took the cake was the Extremely disappointing realisation that Apple Pay or pay by phone wasn’t possible. All name restaurants in Miami effortless. SW stuck in the dark ages. Cost us a 20 min walk back to the hotel to bring a physical card.

And she said this restaurant is NOT a fish restaurant then During the dinner we were laughing and she approached us Saying we had too much wine And the third thing she didn’t recommend the Salmon because it had too much bones False Salmon doesn’t bone when is ready to eat .

    My overall experience was negative and this is a shame as it was my 1st time there for me and the person I brought. The list goes on.... the waitress brought water with one glass dirty. After asking for a new glass she left the dirty glass and came back nearly 10 minutes later with a new glass. After 25 min of waiting for our order we figured she forgot to bring the bread to the table, after asking for it she apologized but then took the empty plates before bringing the bread about 6 min later. Dropping it off and leaving in a hurry we didn't even get to ask for plates again. After asking for plates she returned another 5 min later with them we are at about 40 min since we sat and ordered. For bread! Of course our food came about 3 min later. The server dropping it off was condescending but a quick interaction so we'll move past. The tables were so close together in the outside seating we were you couldn't help but be bothered at the obnoxious group within arm reach of us. Overall, come expecting pretty good food and below average to bad service even by Miami standards. Not because this is all servers or every evening but just know its possible.

    The place is beautiful, great view But if you eat inside you cant enjoy it fully, I made a reservation for outside for my anniversary but if you want outside you have to wait. The menu is outrageous, starters at 20/25 dollars Small cans of soda, no refill No kids menu And the meat, no average price, all from 80 to 95 dollars the entre Ending having 3 starters, burgers and the smallest meat entree. Plates cold as Ice and the burgers tasted as a met loaf The meat was great I honestly not coming back, is not worth it, i have been to much better places for much less Valet Parking is Mandatory, all parking space is blocked for Valet Parking at $15 on sundays

    Bad service, food hit and miss (several items not brought to the table but they were still on the check). Manager tried to help, zero human touch- only textbook answers followed by stares from his side from across the room. Free drinks and desserts as compensation. $600 for 4. Never again.

    Came in from Chicago and have eaten here in the past. Atmosphere was as good as ever, started at the outside bar with good cocktails and then were seated within a half hour at an outside table right on the water. The servers were very nice but service overall was fairly slow. Had empty drinks way too many times. It looked like our girl was overrun with a few large tables and could have used some assistance. Not a huge issue, but also not what you'd expect from a place as costly as this. Started with a dozen oysters which were good, clam chowder was excellent, salad was great. 2 Maine Lobster Tails were tender and delicious. Unfortunately, what was NOT good was the STEAK. $250 piece of meat cut for us tableside (which was cool) was fatty, flavorless and chewy. And this was supposed to be Waygu. I had more scraps on my plate than steak that I ate! Server asked how our meal was and we were honest about the steak being a disappointment. She apologized and said she would speak to the manager. Came back and said he was too busy and said we could have free desert, which we declined. Our mistake was that no one at the table said anything about the disappointment of a steak until everybody had eaten a few pieces. Should have sent that overpriced piece of shoe leather back right away. I also didn't care for the sea bass but the girl who ordered it liked it. I would absolutely return, but likely have cocktails and head somewhere else for dinner or maybe try a few appetizers and a salad. An $800 dinner for 4 people was certainly not worth it once the main course was so disappointing.

    Dining along the water is a great atmosphere to enjoy lunch or dinner with friends alfresco. The food is always fresh and well prepared. Portions are a good size and if you want to splurge, try the Tomahawk that is presented with a special presentation. It’s amazing and can be shared.

    Smith and Wollensky is extremely pricey, but sitting outside provides a great view and a wonderful ambience and the food is excellent. Matteas was a terrific waiter, friendly, helpful, always there when you needed him. Our main server was Marcos, who was not too friendly other than trying to upsell the dishes. In fact, one member of our table ordered a second glass of wine, and he brought a second glass for someone who did not even order a second glass, which perhaps a mistake but it felt like it was intentional. Make sure to try the Coconut Cake for dessert .. amazing!!!
