Pros: Maybe the steak

The Bottom Line: Only if you like your meat red, your scotch straight, your cigars smoky, and your money wasted.

| culprit's Full Review: Smith & Wollensky |
OK, maybe I shouldn't go to steak restaurants if I don't eat steak. But sometimes one doesn't have a choice, like on business lunches. So I went, and ordered swordfish.
Overcooked and overpriced. Sword is not that hard to cook, but it sure gets hard the longer you cook it. The kitchen here obviously does not know what to do with seafood, so maybe they should take it off the menu. And spare us non-meat-eaters.
The service was fine, but I didn't care for the 1/2 hour wait, especially since we had reservations. We were forced to wait in the smoky bar.
But this is one of those smoke-filled, whiskey-and-steak, manly-men kind of joints. It's the kind of place people go to show they can afford to. And if that's your purpose in choosing a restaurant, S&W will suit you nicely.
