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...

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...

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...

Pros: Ambience, minimalist decor, fun, good wine list.
Cons: Poor service and OK food.
I was really looking forward to going to this place. Face it, the New York Smith & Wollensky is famous; now Smith & Wollensky is expanding with restaurants in several major cities - which says the place has got to be good, right? Just given...

Smith and Wollensky
201 E. 49th Street, at 3rd Ave

I went here for dinner and found it fairly easy to make a reservation. I called the night before around 10:30 and had a table for 6pm the next night. I was very...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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 ...

Pros: reputation
Cons: waiters, steak
Like many out-of-town businessmen I had heard about the great reputation of this steakhouse. Unfortunately, that "great" reputation was not evident when I ate there.
The service was uninspired and the food even less inspiring. The waiter seemed...

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...

Pros: none
Cons: bugs, cling wrap, slow, rude
I have to say dining at Smith and Wollensky's definately ranks as one of my all time worst dining experiences. First, we made 9 pm reservations and had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. Then my boyfriend found a BEETLE floating in his water. The...
