- SSimonLondon •5 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI’ve eaten in a lot of high end steak restaurants, and Smith and Wollensky is without reservation one of the best, if not THE BEST. The atmosphere is just what you want from a NY steakhouse. Last meal was truly outstanding. It was an amazing steak (fillet on the bone), really I could have eaten it with a spoon and utterly delicious. Service fabulous, and the cost … much better value than most steak restaurants in NY. The server epitomized “steakhouse server” - friendly, knowledgeable, attentive without being intrusive. I don’t want to oversell the place as I don’t want it to get difficult to get a table, but honestly it’s exceptional.More infoSmith & Wollensky - New York$$$$• American• Midtown East•4.7
