    Outstanding food, service, everything. Karim was absolutely incredible. He made our engagement such a special evening and was just the best host we could have asked for. Always had a great time when visiting but this time was even better. Thank you to Karim and all the staff.

    To be fair, we were a party of 13. Not S&W fault, our table was delayed to due guests who wouldn't leave after paying and we were seated almost an hour after our reservation. The staff was beyond impeccable, but the main course, though delicious, came out warm to cold. Our only complaint. One of my guests, who had ordered lobster, had their dish ice cold and did not eat it at all and S & W graciously removed it from the check. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time.

    Both food and service were excellent. This is the OG S&W, and it shows! There was clear attention to ensuring a great guest experience from the moment we entered the restaurant. Our steaks were perfect, and the hashbrowns were incredible. Our only regret is that we didn't save room for dessert!

    Steak was way under cooked and waiter noticed it and sent back. Then it was well done on outside and medium rare on the inside. Disappointed

    The weekend wine dinner included Prosecco or martini while you’re waiting for the table which was a nice touch. The food was outstanding and our waiter Sam was delightful with stories of serving many famous people over the last 25+ years. It was an enjoyable dining experience.
