Waiter seemed agitated and overwhelmed.

I went for lunch with my adult grandchildren. Food was delicious. Lunch was reasonable but dinner is expensive. We enjoyed our meal very much

We love S&W and are these 1x week for date night. Favorite is tartare, bone marrow, wedge salad and the dry age steaks. The cocktails are very good and Tara the bar tender is great and fun to hang out with.

Great Food! Awesome Steak.

Food was great but service was too slow and inattentive.

The food was fantastic. The drinks were great. I think they were understaffed because of the pandemic. The wait staff was incredibly professional and very talented. Overall very good experience. You just have to be patient.

What a great addition to Wellesley MA, this restaurant is always a great place to dine at. The way your are greeted at the front door, the service at the bar or a table, the food and drink are always exceptional. It's just a really well run restaurant.

Great food and great service, no doubt!

Very tasty but not so outstanding as one might by having this high priced cut.

(SIGNATURE USDA PRIME DRY-AGED BONE-IN RIB EYE 28 PLUS OZ.)

Maybe the side (SAUTEED MUSHROOMS) didn’t add to complete the expected experience, and some adequate sauce was missing.

But great cut!

The staff really made our anniversary special. And the food and drink were excellent! We will be back again!

VERY disappointing. We had a mediocre experience there recently, and decided to give them another chance. We will not be going back.
The waiter was friendly and competent. The Tanqueray cocktail was very weak, the coffee served was COLD, the food is standard, and very, very expensive, even considering the current supply-chain issues.
Someone at the restaurant (a Manager?) reached out to me after my previous review, and has not responded at all to my two emails.
Lots of employees on the floor/walking around, and yet plates sit on the table until the next course is being served and we have to juggle dirty and clean and hand plates to the flustered server. Unbelievable - especially twice in a row. No thanks.

We missed Mickey, but great meal!

Food was very good as was service.

Best waiter ever! JC - service phenomenal just a wonderful dinner

We had the pleasure of being served by Sophia. Sophia did an excellent job! So glad we met her. Top notch service. We’ll be back & hope to sit at one of Sophia’s tables.

Fantastic dinner at Smith & Wollensky as usual. The bone in rib-eye is to die for! My only complaint is they no longer have a bacon appetizer on the menu! Bring back the bacon! The scallops over bone marrow were mouthwatering and I almost ordered a second. Solid choice when we’re in the mood for a good steak and wine.

great spot for a delightful lunch- service was terrific

Server gave us really great suggestions about what and how much to order. She gave my friends bottomless cups of coffee refills which they loved. We were hoping for pie for dessert, but none on the menu. Oh well, all else was top notch! Steak was cooked to perfection.

Mickey rocks!
Food fabulous.
Fun night out!
Going again in two wks!

We've been to Smith & Wollensky several times before and enjoyed it, but were very disappointed this time. The food was good but not great. My lobster was very dry. The demi glace was awful. The sides were great. But, the steaks were merely good. They were very rigid about substitutions and had very limited seafood and shellfish options. The service was fair. Our waiter was nice but clearly too busy too check in much. Not his fault, but the result is the same. We had to wait for a while whenever we needed something. Worse, however, the prices have been increased significantly to the extent that they are far more expensive than Ruth's Chris, Coach Grill, Capital Grille and the Federalist to the point that the steak prices are at least 50% more than the other steakhouses and sometimes two times or more the prices at the other nicer steakhouses. It's just not a good value by any stretch. In fact, the prices are just completely out of proportion to their competitors. If the food and/or service were better, it would be one thing, maybe, but they simply weren't, not at all. I even pointed out the disappointment with the lobster, but nothing was done about it. The waiter just said "it's a good thing you didn't order it for two like I suggested then." We came here for a special celebration and it was such a disappointment such that I sincerely doubt I would ever return. For the money, it's just not worth it. I have no issue with restaurants increasing prices, especially with Covid as many took a hit, but these prices are another thing entirely, especially with the food and service lacking. I would go to any one of the other better steakhouses before I would come back here, which is too bad since we used to come here from time to time, not often, but not infrequently either. We'll be gong to other steakhouses in the future.

Another phenomenal experience at S & W Wellesley. We had an outstanding waiter who went beyond the call of duty. Thank you, we will be back..soon!

We constantly had to ask for used/empty dishes to be bussed from our table. I often had to catch the eye of someone (a manager?) walking by for this. I had to ask more than once for more water - both times my glass was fully empty. Our waiter was helpful in choosing a delicious bottle of wine, and was not very visible on the floor to assist us with ordering/serving it. Service was lacking - food was good. I would give it another chance in the future.

Service excellent except we were never brought bread or heard any acknowledgement that it was our anniversary

Great for lunch, disappointing for dinner. Filet lunch sandwich was great; dinner filet was ordinary. Salad and vegetable sides very good. Tables at front haver nicer ambiance than back room.

Service, experience and food - all excellent!

Attentive and friendly server, Mickey. Managers went out their way to make sure we were happy. High quality food, nice presentation.

it is annoying to be rushed through this very expensive meal with constant, frequent l requests to choose menu items and clear them
if the place is so packed, enlarge it ;but do not harass your customers

Food was amazing and wait staff was wonderful. They were helpful with suggestions

Smith and Wollensky used to be our go to place. We've been going since right before getting engaged to the Boston castle before they closed. We then started going to Wellesley. Unfortunately, it seems things have changed. I was very excited to see the reintroduction of the hash browns side to the menu. I was very sad to receive a little patty of hash browns. The portion used to be bigger. Same for the onion rings side. Now, I understand that prices have gone up for raw supplies, but for the price of the meal, I guess I expected more.

A great NYC steakhouse in the suburbs.

Way over expensive….
Food and service don’t match prices….
Should be tablecloths….no coasters….drinks messy on tables….
Steaks dry….
At one time a nice steakhouse….no more…

Great waiter, delicious food, will come afain!

When you’re paying $60+ for a steak, it should be fantastic. That’s not what we had. The filet was fine—a little north of medium rare, and a dash saltier than I prefer. The Wagyu was much better—really worth the $100 price tag and perfectly cooked. The sides were “meh.” Really nothing worth remembering (we ordered 4, so I feel like I got a good sampling), under-seasoned, and generally uninspired. I know that the steak is supposed to be the star of the show, but if the steak is worth $60, it should be served with whipped potatoes that are worth eating with it. The fries were especially disappointing—I had french fries at a greasy spoon diner that day for lunch, and I swear I couldn’t tell the difference—soggy and under-seasoned. I went in expecting the price tag, I just expected that the quality I got would be far beyond the other local steak houses in central MA, but it was not.

Always a nice night out. Food and Staff are outstanding.

Great steaks - wonderful service and a nice restaurant to visit.

Excellent food! Great spot for special occasions !

Attractive indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. Our hostess was gracious and welcoming. Our server, Zuzu, was extremely pleasant, attentive, and able to answer all our questions without hesitation. Food portions and quality were excellent. Great location with ample parking. We will be back.
Area of opportunity is to upgrade the interior. Decor and lighting are dated and for the price point, surrounding should be a bit more upscale.

I wish I could say it was out of this world and worth the spend but it absolutely was not. The service was attentive but a little slow but the food was not at all noteworthy. The dessert was quite good (large chocolate chip cookie in skillet)

Karen was great. Food was amazing. It's a bit pricey but... We love it

The server is very good and Professional.

Ryan was our server and he was outstanding! Although, all the servers are great. We love this restaurant.
