The absolute worst meal I have eaten at any restaurant in years. Steaks were cooked to the wrong temperature and tough, hard to cut, and did not taste fresh. We eat out in Boston frequently and there are several other excellent steakhouses. Outdoor setting was nice. Will not return.

Bartender/bar back took our food without asking if we were finished. No one asked if I wanted to replace my drink after finishing it, and when I asked, I was told that it was “already last call” even though no one had checked in on my date and I for the past 20 minutes after receiving our food. After our food was taken without being asked if we were finished or if we wanted to take it home, we were also told that we couldn’t do dessert because kitchen was closing up - although they’d also forgotten to let us know this as well.

Excellent steaks and good service! Only two negative comments: - We booked early and asked for a nice table with a view (to Boston Harbor) for a family celebration. We were seated with a view of propane tanks, however. The dinner was at 6 PM, and the restaurant was max 1/5th full. - The service was very good, but it took a very long time to get the steaks. The pricing was at par with the other Boston steakhouses.

Server didn’t write down any special requests for food prep. Nor did he point out differences between what the menu said an item was and what the kitchen had in stock. When you pay such enormous rates for a dinner you expect at least a minimum of care from the servers.

Food, service and location were great! Only two MINOR complaints. Our tablecloth had a dark stain, looked like someone dumped a cigarette ash on it. The other issue was there was a blob of what appeared to be dried butter or sour cream on the pepper shaker. Other than that, everything was great and would definitely go back

We heard it was a nice place and decided to try it. We were a party of 5 with 3 teens who eat a lot. We all enjoyed our plates from starters, main course and the huge chocolate cake for sharing. You know you have found a good restaurant when your teens mention that they would return any time.

Our server Meghan was wonderful and attentive. Very friendly and courteous. Unfortunately the man with beard at the check in desk was not as nice. After taking several minutes to “find” our reservation (it was quiet at 4:30 with no one seated in dining room except for one other diner.) my notes specifically said “a nice table not too close to others” for covid reasons. He preceded to seat us next to this diner. When I asked to sit several tables down - he rolled his eyes and seemed annoyed at my 2nd request. For this level of restaurant and the amount we spent- all requests should be done with a smile. Thank you smith & wollensky

We enjoyed everything! Food our waiter and will be back again. My one critique is where we were seated and the speed and frequency the runners went by our table to serve other patrons. It was distracting and very close to our chairs. Maybe get rid of that 4 top table by the window on the freeway of carts 🙃seriously.

We frequent S&W a few times a year and usually are very impressed with the service and food. This visit, from check-in, our server, and the food was less than impressive. We'll probably be back as it was likely a one-off but will give preference to the other many fine steak-chain choices for a while.
