   We had a party of 6. We ordered the prime rib, halibut, and the scallops. Some of our food was over cooked. I know this is legendary steakhouse, but it was not the right steakhouse for us.

   When everything was said and done, I don't believe the overall experience lived up to all the hype.

   S&W is or was my favorite restaurant. We went to celebrate our anniversary. The waiter was so unimpressive. My steak was bad. I’ve always felt as if I was treated as family. Not tonight. Waiter could care less and kept trying to take our bread. Also brought my cocktail well after my husband received his. He never apologized. Told him it was our anniversary and he didn’t even wish us well. The food has always been exceptional. But not tonight. I was so disappointed. The manager said he’d make it up to me. Gave me his email. I’ll post another review if if that happens. I really want it to be better. I’ve been going for many years and always recommend it. Our anniversary was just so sad.

   Wonderful meal in every aspect. Not had a better steak anywhere in the USA or the UK. I last ate here about 20 years ago and thankfully very little has changed. It’s expensive but I would recommend it to anyone.

    It was good, but doesn’t live up to the hype. The steaks were humongous. If you’re into quantity, you’ll love this. But I would have rather had something smaller that was of better quality.

    We took our son here to celebrate his 13th birthday and the experience was fantastic. Seafood tower, bacon, filets, cowboy ribeyes, sides, everything was great. All the steaks were executed perfectly (only the roasted brussels were a little underdone). Staff were very friendly and super attentive (and were fantastic with our 7 year old). They brought out a 3 dessert platter and sang to our son (he was a little embarrassed but it was totally worth it). Overall, this was the quintessential high end NYC steakhouse experience. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a great steak or celebrating a special occasion.

    We came to celebrates my mom's birthday. It is one of her favorite places because the wait staff are kind and accommodating, the food is outstanding - both set in a classic and modern environment. We build such great family memories here.

    One of my favorite steakhouses in the city. There's a reason they've been around for over 45 years.

    From the start, we were well taken care of and got great suggestions from our server rather than up selling us. Cocktails were a little meh but the focus seems to be on their wine.

    Mother’s Day at Smith & Wollensky was lovely. We went for dinner. It was busy but we were seated right away. The service was perfect. Steaks were amazing. Tuna tartare was weird… with chopped tomatoes… it was very watery.

    My wife and I got there 10 minutes before our reservation and we were escorted to our table immediately. To my surprise and disappointment, our table was not larger than 18”x 18”. The diners on both side of us had to adjust their chairs for us to get in our seat. I will not dine at this restaurant again.

    The best steakhouse dining bc experience. Also super great for special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries. The food and wine was amazing! We did the weekend wine menu for $95 pp and it was 100% worth it. Also, tons of yummy food that we had leftovers.

    I had a Bone in ny strip and it was very tough - even though I paid for a prime steak I was not served one. my sense is this place is not doing well financially and is cutting corners. Don’t bother with this place go to Keens or Peter Lugar instead.

    Great steaks (the bone in Rib eye was great, I could totally taste the dry aging) and good vibe in the restaurant. Great for business and personal occasions. Service was fine and professional (wouldn’t call it personal / outright friendly). Good value for money for what you get.

    We got there and ordered my steak and asked for it to be medium rare, it comes out and in about 2 min I cut most of it and it’s medium, I called that waiter over and he says it’s medium rare and it wasn’t. They brought the manager over and they said I could get another but I didn’t have the time to wait as I appointment afterward: When the bill comes the waiter says they took of the one side that I ordered. Great the $78 dollar steak wasn’t cooked to my liking but thank you for taking $16 dollars. In the end I took the steak home for my dog and tipped the waiter 20%. It easnt his fault they overcooked my steak. I know the service industry has changed since post Covid, but if your a steak place honor the way you cook it…

    Our experience was fine. Not great. I remember the food being better. We ordered two filets, both medium, and one came out medium rare and the other one was rare. At that price point, the steak should be cooked correctly.

    Wine Dinner ($95 pp) it’s a fair deal provided you stick to a “non-premium” cut of steak or actually skip red meat whatsoever so you don’t get “slaughtered” on the bill later, hope you enjoy your entree with no sides cause yep those are also extra $$ . My little adventure while tasty and phenomenally served by Karim (certainly made the night more palatable) ran me almost $400 for two people (me and my companion). Kudos to the staff they are certainly welcoming, warm, personable and hospitable. Great job! Hats off to all of you!
