Reviews for Smith & Wollensky in New York, NY
Wonderful Saturday Night dinner! We had the porterhouse for two, lobster cocktail, classic wedge, tuna tartar and three sides... mushroom, sauteed spinach and mashed potatos. Its hard to get all most all dishes right. And they really hit the mark with thefood! I was surprised how the food was not salty. As most restaurants do tend to. You can taste the fresh ingredients so wereally enjoy it. And shout out to Ronny & his buddy who took care of us! Thank you for the lovely service and evening. Read more
Was unimpressed with the food, staff, and environment. Had reservations was told we could wait at the bar while they finished... preparing our table. The hostess never came back for us and gave our table to a couple without reservations who came after us.Ended up seated in a cramped area with a wobbly table. We could hardly cut our food without risk of our glasses being toppledover. The food was decent, enjoyed the mac and cheese. Great crab! The medium rare steak was tough and over cooked. Extremelylarge portions, I'd recommend sharing! Also great dessert and drink options! Wouldn't be back personally though. Read more
The 5 is for the excellent service and phenomenal scallops. The couldn’t get my steak cooked the way I like it but they... swapped it with the diver scallops and they were great. We ordered the Bone in rib eye and bone in NY Strip. Both were MASSIVE!I like my steak well no pink but moist, I know it’s a challenge but I’ve had luck in many great steak houses but not here.After 3 tries we switched to the scallops. The NY Strip was too big to finish. The scallop appetizer was better than the entreebut both were good. The tomatoes and onion were just okay. The wait staff were absolutely amazing and incredibly attentive!Thank you! Read more
Very nice location, big portions and friendly staff, however the service isn't great, especially to US standards. The bread was... neither great taste nor fresh. Stakes mostly overcooked. Overall the food is very average and overpriced. Great wine choice. Read more
Went there to celebrate my birthday. It’s a very classic steak house. Food quality is good. Their Mac and cheese isn’t my... favorite but my partner loves it. Love the services and the environment is not bad. The staff did not push us to order anythingwe didn’t want to which I really appreciated. A little too crowded for seating but still acceptable for me. Read more
Great service and great food. My steak was not cooked at my desired temperature but was still very good (I didn't want to fuss... since I know I'd be warming up leftovers). We were stuffed with just a few bites but wanted to keep eating because it was sogood! Read more
The restaurant is a bit old, and the service and food are perfect! The steak is very delicious. It looks expensive, but it has... 24oz, which is enough for two people. The taste of soup, bread, and mushroom is also excellent. It was very recommended! Read more
You come to NYC to eat and one of those things NYC is know for is steakhouses. S&W is a staple and a must try! We came here for... a friends birthday and went a little crazy. First things first, some bottles of wine for the table. We went with a nice red thatwas going to pair well with the surf n turf coming out way. The seafood platter with lobster, shrimp, and crab was an excellentstarter. For our main, we did a dry aged porterhouse and a Cajun Rib Steak. Both of these were INCREDIBLE. We also munched onsome thick cut steakhouse bacon, some onion rings, some whipped potatoes, corn, spinach, mash potatoes, all which were amazing.To wrap it up we tried a little bit of everything from the dessert menu. Id say the cheesecake and the carrot cake werestandouts here. I can’t wait to go back. Read more
