Second time here! My scallops and risotto were delicious. Staff attentive and work as a team so you always feel seen. The spacing between tables is so appreciated and priceless in my opinion. Privacy to have conversation without worrying about those nearby is a gift. This will be a regular go to spot for us.

As usual, a great meal thoughtfully prepared. The Valentine’s Day menu included 3 shared appetizers, a choice of 3 entrees and a choice of 2 desserts. The food is always creative and interesting- not the standard boring fare at other places. Service was attentive even though they were very busy. Always at the top of our list.

We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary at smith & Wollensky. Laurie was our server and we were so happy that she took care of. She was there when we needed her and she was always in close proximity if we wanted to ask her something. This was one of the best service that we’ve had!
