When in New York....

by DoctorSaul , Feb 26 '00
Pros: Great food, superb steaks, great service
Cons: NYC prices
I've had to do business in New York City several times a year for the last 15 years. Not to be a NYC "basher" but there are other places in the world that I really enjoy better than NYC.... except for one thing (restaurants)... and one...

Women Love Steak

by annmgross , Feb 17 '00
Pros: Good food, good service
Cons: Pricey
Smith & Wollensky serves great steak and women, not only men, love great steak! The New York Sirloin on the bone is extraordinary. So are the hash browns and the creamed spinach. What more could you ask for, except exceptional service. If you...

Top 5 Steakhouses in New York

by srjr , Mar 17 '00
Pros: Prime A-1 Beef
Cons: None
One of the best well kept secrets about this steakhouse is the steak that is not on the menu. I highly suggest the Colorado rib steak. Ordered medium , it is probably the finest steak that this establishment has to offer. There is more then enough meat...

Smith & Wollensky, Las Vegas - Best Steak House in Town

by rcgoodhue , Feb 06 '01
Pros: Great steaks and lobster, great service, great wine selection
Cons: None
On my first trip to Las Vegas, my friend made a reservation at Smith & Wollensky. We were seated by two very courteous managers. Soon after, another manager came by to help us select a wine. We were waited on by two waiters who were both personable...

My best steak EVER

by ctmbw , May 23 '04
Pros: Tender, flavorful steaks, not too expensive
Cons: The other items add up quickly
Went with a large family outing, one cousin had been to a convention in Lost Wages, there he was treated. I don't think he saw the prices, they are high, but fair. Ordered the NY strip, oops, this was not a $30 steak, tasted my wife's ribeye. Can ...

HERE'S the Beef !

by mattgordon Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 18 '03
Pros: flavorful meat, stands on it's own.
Cons: Bring money.
Wow ! Best piece o' beef I ever had. This place specializes in beef, and frankly they know what's going on with it. I had the opportunity to visit the S & W in downtown Chicago recently, and between the manly ambiance, the manly menu, and the manly ...

Pass the ketchup please?

by Localboy , Feb 11 '00
Pros: Great food & atmosphere
Cons: The chefs are a little high strung
I love my dad soooo much!

Mostly because he's my father and he's just an all around great guy. But also partly because he's the source of so much laughter in my life. He's got stories that would bring the house down. Most of them are at his...

I think it's missing the bag of chips...

by myoptical , Mar 16 '01
Pros: Simple, straightforward approach to a great dining experience.
Cons: Could have purchased and cooked a better cut of meat myself.
You may have heard of the phrase "All that and a bag o' chips!" While Smith & Wollensky's may be all that it is definitely missing the "bag o' chips." Now, this is not a shoddy establishment by any stretch of the imagination.

It was a cold...

Delectations at Midtown; a dinner for a hero.

by thom413 , Sep 28 '01
Pros: Food fit for a hero.
Cons: A little too simple on the decor.
The sloppily romantic heart of New York City still thrums strongly along, defying tragedy. Mayor Giuliani urges a "return to normalcy"like a holy talisman against evil. I agree. It would be a dishonor to the injured, dead and missing to be cowed by...

Lots of action, but where are the lights and camera?

by diverpam Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Dec 26 '00
Pros: Large, tasty steaks
Cons: Over priced
I felt as if I had stepped onto the set of Sex & the City when I walked into Smith & Wollensky. It was a cold December evening and the restaurant was packed with a loud, glitzy crowd. I half expected Carrie and Samantha to be seated...

Alas, a waste of money

by kdecker , Jan 10 '03
Pros: Sizeable, well seasoned steaks
Cons: Extremely slow service, overcooked
Having lived in Manhattan for over two years now, I have had the pleasure of dining in some of the premier steakhouses in NYC. I approached Smith & Woolensky with eagerness.

Alas, I was sorely disappointed.

It took twenty minutes...

Underwhelming

by magcc , May 10 '00
Pros: Asparagus and Waiters
Cons: Meat
I went to Smith & Wollensky for the first time recently with my husband and his entire family (well, almost). We had a table of ten people. First off, the restaurant was very noisy - it was hard to carry on a conversation except with the person...

nothin' but meat

by culprit , Mar 17 '01
Pros: Maybe the steak
Cons: The rest of the food
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...

Smith & Wollenski's Review

by albee0466 , Mar 21 '00
Pros: Excellent service staff
Cons: Serious overcrowding
I went to S&W for the second time recently in NYC. I never judge a steakhouse by just one visit, but two visits can usually tell the story. The place was overcrowded both times, with chairback to chairback seating. I barely had room to move during...
