   We went to Smith & Wollensky after another steakhouse decided not to open on the holiday and cancelled our Open Table reservation. She started with the Split Pea Soup while I had the Cup of Beef Bacon. The latter was very tasty, but left me with the conviction that bacon should come from a pig. We both had Sirloin Steaks for our entrees, hers with a Spicy Lobster Tail. Mine came well done as requested. We ended with a couple Old Hollywood cocktails for dessert and complimentary cider, to which we had Jameson Irish added. Service by "Troy F" was friendly and efficient even though he seemed a bit over-burdened by the holiday crowd. The only flaw for my Bratophobic girlfriend was the presence of a couple families with small children. As it turned out, however, it was the adults in those groups who were annoying loud not the Future Taxpayers. We will return to Smith & Wollensky.

   I had high expectations to come here. I always heard good things about S&W. But I couldn't get past the quality of the food. Service was fantastic. But the steak was tough and poorly seasoned. I would like to have given it another chance, but it felt like it was not worth the effort, especially after spending over $100.

   Food and service are always on point. S&W never disappoints.

   The sides for two did not disappoint. You can't go wrong at all.

   I had a great experience at Smith and Wollensky. The waiter was great. The Porterhouse for 2 was an excellent choice. The service was great, limited wait time. We had 7pm reservation, but was seated earlier with no problems.

    Waiter asked us if we wanted water before dinner without asking between tap or bottled and poured us bottled water. He then charged each couple $15. We had to get the manager to intervene and she did. FYI!
