Severe disappointment. Went here for a wedding reception. I ordered the Filet medium and got it raw. The people around me ordered it medium well and got it with no pink. Staff was attentive and the sides were good but, be careful you may not get your meat the way you like.

We were in Chicago visiting recently and had a meal at Smith & Wollensky with several family members. While the servers were attentive, the food was horrible. I had the fillet Oscar which was served too cool with very fishy tasting lump crab meat. The creamed spinach was mediocre at best. Desserts were typical, nothing special. Also we did not ...

Though the food was delicious, I did not care for the ...

We were only the fourth occupied table in the place and the service was friendly and prompt. However, the food is just so so, especially for ...

big steaks big cakes

I split the 108oz porterhouse with a friend, 54oz each. Was very tasty but it'll set you back a few bucks and I wouldn't say it was anything exceptional.
