Went here for the first time as a belated VDay lunch and really enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance. Michelle was a phenomenal server, I appreciated her recommendations and lovely demeanor. The scallop starter and seared tuna were very tasty, and I was surprised at how juicy the well-done steak was made. Can't wait to recommend this restaurant to my friends, and can't wait to go back!

Perfect location for a steak dinner.
I feel like you can never go wrong with a steakhouse that has wagyu. The steak here is cooked perfect. I asked for medium - perfectly pink center and no running blood!
The s’more as a dessert is a good touch… mostly because the marshmallows were toasted to a light crunch. I don’t know how that happened but it is so great. Paired with cookie crumble and ice cream… yum.
Happy eating

Very lovely experience, staff was very welcoming and friendly from the moment my mother and I came through the door. Food was fresh and tasty. I had the scallops, and it was satisfying as a stand alone meal. The server I had, his name is Jeffrey. He was accommodating and provided excellent service in a timely matter. And the atmosphere felt warm, pleasant, classy, and intimate. I would recommend Smith and Wollensky to friends and family.

Took my wife for her 40th birthday dinner with friends. The waiter knew from our reservation that it was a special celebration and they were very attentive to us and always spoke to my wife first. I loved the small details of service! We ordered the Tomahawk which was amazing! The waiters were great from the presentation, recommendations of drinks, to taking our pictures (more than once) it was a Wonderful experience and the service was just as lovely. Will definitely be visiting again!

Good Weather, and why not trying some place near the river with open patio.
Smith & Wollensky seemed like a good choice, and I liked it but my opinion is for the service charge and the money you spent you don’t receive the deserved services!
First of all, inside the bread they served in the beginning, we saw one strand of hair which we denied it, but after seeing the second hair strand I asked my server to change the bread.
Second, I believe it would be nicer if they design some food ornaments with our steak.
Third, we asked for well done, but it was medium rare inside in some portion.
Generally speaking, I didn’t like the fact, I was charged automatically 18% for Service Charge and 20% for Tip without the option to choose.

Talk about a nice dining experience in Chicago! The staff and The food was amazing! We got the New York Strip, filet, and the ribs appetizer. Everything was cooked perfectly.
The ghost strawberry margarita was so good! Definitely something different but so good.
The New York Strip was probably the best tasting steak I’ve had in a long time. It had great flavor and plenty of juices. The whipped mashed potatoes were a great side choice to get as well.
We had a blast sitting by the windows and looking at the boats on the river and waving at everyone.
Highly recommend this place for a nice dinner, and view of the river and surrounding buildings.

This was a fantastic experience. Downtown Chicago, sunset rolling into night, overlooking the river. Our server Maggie was excellent. In our party of 5, everyone raved about their meals and not one person complained about a single thing. As long as you go into it aware that it is not an inexpensive place, it's great for that special occasion.

First, service was amazing. The host was friendly and our server knew the menu and all the small details. Wine was good. Bread was amazing! But the food was bland. Everything needed salt. The steak was cooked at the perfect temp, but lacked flavor. We wouldn't go back. Not even for the view.

Just the standard filet honestly was cooked absolutely perfectly and had incredible flavor.
The timing on everything was the most impressive, the soup hit the table moments after I ordered it, salad immediately when I was done with the soup, and then with almost no delay a perfect steak after the salad. Great quality bread and excellent service.

I have been to this location and few times, and I finally wanted to a review. We went for my birthday and it was great. Waiter and staff were attentive & very knowledgeable. Food was fantastic and drink selections are great. I had dry aged ribeye Cajun style. Supper tasty and I should not have asked for Bernaise Sauce - didn’t need it. I got my favorite side dish of hash browns. My wife had a cocoa and coffee rubbed steak with spinach.

Good food and good services. I can't complain. The dishes are a little bit pricey, but the quality of the dishes is worth it. If you have the money, I recommend trying their expensive dishes like the tomahawk steak or the seafood tower. They are very tasty.
