I recently had the pleasure of dining at Smith & Wollensky and the experience was nothing short of exceptional, thanks in large part to our amazing server, Galya. From the moment we were seated, her warm and friendly demeanor set the tone for the evening. She was attentive without being intrusive, offering excellent recommendations and answering all of our questions with a smile. The steak was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor—but what truly made the night memorable was Galya’s outstanding service. She ensured our glasses were always full and that we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Her attention to detail and genuine care made us feel like VIPs. If you’re looking for great food with top-notch service, I highly recommend this London Steak House.🤩

I was recommended Smith & Wollensky by a friend who had been to the US restaurant and we were not disappointed. The welcome on arrival was cordial and I was shown to my table as my friend had not arrived yet. The waiter checked in to make sure we weren't in a rush for the theatre. When we said we weren't, we were told we had plenty of time. It's important to know that the steaks take about 35 minutes to prepare, so we ordered our starters then carried on looking at the menu to decide on the steaks. I had a 28 day dry-aged Irish sirloin with an au poivre crust. It was peppery and succulent. I'm a bigger fan of sirloin which is a cut I choose if I'm not going to go all out. Marble (aka fat) is not really a texture I enjoy so I go for the cuts without it, such as fillet. My friend had the Australian Angus Rib Eye which was perfectly cooked. The sides are usually quite poor at steakhouses, but the creamed spinach was some of the best and the Iceberg Wedge did the job - in fact, it was huge so be warned! Tomas the waiter was excellent. We appreciated is attention and flexibility throughout the meal. Asking us questions when appropriate and not interrupting our conversation. There was no rush to get us out, we sat at the table for two and a half hours. A great steak restaurant. We really are spoiled for them in London and this one is right up there with them. Will I return? Definitely.

I visited on a Sunday evening, so it was relatively quiet. While the menu is extensive, it's straightforward, and the staff are helpful. I chose the Australian rib eye, with cajun fries and truffle mac and cheese. The steak was delicious, especially with the red wine jus. As usual, I couldn't finish everything as the portions are big. It was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and will return. The bread and butter was also good.

First time at Smith and Wollensky. I had heard good things, but was blown away by the experience. I chose a 400g Aussie ribeye, which was probably the best ribeye I've ever had, cooked (rare) to perfection. Shared sides were also beautifully prepared and tastefully presented. Staff were incredibly attentive and service was prompt. All in all a fabulous first experience and one I hope to repeat many times in the future.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Smith & Wollensky in London, and let me tell you, this place is absolutely stunning! Located in the elegant Adelphi Building near Covent Garden, it's hands down one of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve visited. Ambiance From the moment I walked in, I was wowed by the gorgeous, classic décor. Think dark wood, leather booths, and beautiful art deco details that give the place an old-school charm. It’s spacious yet intimate, perfect for a date night or special occasion. I went in the evening, and the soft, ambient lighting made it feel extra cozy and inviting—like you’re stepping into a luxury dining experience without it being overly formal. Service The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff were friendly, professional, and knew the menu inside and out. I never had to wait too long for anything, and they made me feel really welcome without being overbearing. A special shout-out to the sommelier who helped me choose a fantastic glass of red wine to go with my meal. The Food I went for the Smith & Wollensky burger, and it did not disappoint! Juicy, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. The brioche bun was soft yet sturdy enough to hold everything together (a crucial point for any burger lover!), and the toppings were spot on—simple but done right. If you’re in the mood for something a little less formal than their famous steaks, I highly recommend giving their burger a try. As for dessert, I couldn’t leave without trying the New York-style cheesecake—and wow, it was heavenly! Creamy, rich, and the perfect balance of sweetness. I’m usually a bit picky when it comes to cheesecake, but this one hit all the right notes. It was the ideal way to round off a fantastic meal. Drinks Their drinks menu is equally impressive. I paired my burger with a bold glass of red wine (the sommelier’s recommendation), and it complemented the flavors perfectly. They’ve got an extensive wine list, but if you’re more into cocktails, they’ve got that covered too. Final Thoughts Sure, Smith & Wollensky is on the pricier side, but if you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience in a beautiful setting, it’s well worth it. The food, service, and ambiance are all top-notch, and I’ll definitely be back—next time, I might have to try one of their famous steaks! Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend, whether you’re after a fantastic burger or just want to treat yourself to an unforgettable meal in one of London’s most stunning restaurants.

This place is amazing; beautiful art deco room, lovely service, great food and super vibe. We went here for our anniversary and they couldn't have been friendlier. Servers came over to congratulate us, and generally just talk. Our waitress, Michaela, was absolutely lovely, warm, friendly and very good at her job. Our sirloin steaks were delicious, tender and cooked to perfection. Delicious bernais sauce and chips. Their NY cheese cake is right up there and they serve an ample portion. It's a bit pricey (just so you know) but really worth it for the quality. I can't wait to go back.

We had the Wagyu Sirloin. One of the best cuts, preparation and cooking I’ve had when it comes to steak. It’s rare that you achieve the perfect crispy sear alongside a melt in the mouth centre. Would definitely recommend, the creamed spinach and mash were also excellent. Steak so good don’t even need sauce. Michaela our server was extremely attentive and doing her best, would recommend.

You cannot beat a 10 oz Wagyu steak,, always pricey, but well worth it for my husband. I had to try the Irish sirloin better known as New York steak in the US . The difference is the Irish is grass fed and the USDA is corn fed . Its texture different, but tender enough for me . Here in England, that you have to order the bread separately. We also had the wedge salad, which was quite large, two separate halves of iceberg, but there was too thin of blue cheese sauce. Perhaps a separate pot for those who want more with suffice. The strawberry white chocolate mousse, a big disappointment. The moose was not creamy at all. It was more thick sponge perhaps for being so old. The white chocolate that encased it was tasty. A champagne sorbet was blah. Not a fan of this dessert at all. Excellent service!!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining with my family at this delightful steakhouse located in the heart of London, offering an exceptional brasserie-style experience. From the moment we walked in, the welcoming ambiance and attentive service set the tone for an unforgettable meal. The menu is a testament to culinary excellence, offering a diverse selection of starters, mains, and sides that cater to all tastes. For starters, we indulged in the fresh and flavorful burrata with heirloom tomatoes and a delicate balsamic reduction. Another standout was the classic onion rings, rich and comforting. The main courses are the true stars of the show. I opted for the signature ribeye steak, cooked to perfection with a beautiful char and tender, juicy center. My dining companion chose the fillet mignon, which was equally impressive, boasting a melt-in-your-mouth texture and exquisite flavor. The accompanying béarnaise and mushroom sauces elevated the steaks to another level of deliciousness. The sides are just as impressive as the mains. We couldn't resist the yummy baked potatoes, the sautéed spinach with garlic and chili offered a light and flavorful contrast, while the hand-cut fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Overall, this steakhouse delivers on every front, from the warm and sophisticated brasserie atmosphere to the impeccable service and outstanding food. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a top-notch dining experience in London.

We have been here 3 times because it has been excellent. Unfortunately, last night it missed the mark. In a retro moment, we ordered shrimp cocktails as a starter. We were served a totally 'deconstructed' cocktail, more like a prawn platter. It came on a large platter of ice and seaweed, with capers sprinkled in the ice (impossible to retrieve with a fork). On this ice, was balanced a scallop dish containing large peeled and deveined prawns. There was half a romaine lettuce on the platter and a slice of avocado. There were also 2 small cups of sauce, but not cocktail sauce...a nice gingery sauce and an awful tomato chutney. But it was impossible to eat this because when you tried to cut the large prawns to dip a piece in the tiny cups, the ice shifted and went all over the place. We had to ask for small plates to eat the dish. (1) The plating was pretty but it made the food inedible (2) A cocktail is a creation of mixology and should not be deconstructed (3) The dreadful starter totally detracted from the excellent steaks that followed as we were still discussing how awful the shrimp 'cocktail' had been. The service was wonderful, a charming and attentive Greek waiter. The restaurant is comfortable and has a great atmosphere. Please remind the Chef that plating is not more important than preparing food. Plonking everything on a platter of ice for the diner to struggle with is not clever. Especially at the price one pays.

We ordered 3 dozen oysters which we could tell hadn't been shucked fresh as some of them had seemingly dried up during the wait. Starters, sides, dessert were all bland. Shame since the steaks themselves were actually quite good. In comparison with other competitor steakhouses like Hawksmoor, Goodman, Blacklock, this one ranks lowest on my list and most likely will not visit again for that price tag.

Booked a table Saturday Night for a big birthday treat (30 second time round) with our niece and husband and our best friend. We had looked up the menu in advance so knew the prices we were up against. We are quite happy to pay good money for good food. Sadly the meal was not the best by a long shot. We were having a good old natter and catch-up so we did take rather a long time to decide on what we wanted but whilst we were giving our order we were naturally adjusting what we wanted as we went along. My husband is partially sighted so the whole menu has to be read out to him which obviously takes longer than normal. The girl taking the order started rolling her eyes and looking away as if she couldn't be bothered with our nonsense - maybe not but you don't show it. I ordered the tuna tartare which, to be fair, was excellent but my husband ordered the crab which at £26 is a disgrace of a dish. Our niece ordered a bottle of rose which arrived warm - I didn't think too much about it at the time, ordered a second bottle and asked for it to be chilled. The rather sullen reply was "I'll get one from the back of the fridge" when it arrived it was a couple of degrees cooler. On receiving the bill I was shocked to see that it appeared ok to serve a £62 bottle of wine at the wrong temperature. Then onto the main, as a group we ordered two of the Irish Chateaubriand steaks which was the perfect amount - I work on 200g of meat per person plus a little over which came to £198 - not too bad for 5 people, but then to be charged extra for a 'steak enhancement' (Botox perhaps?) and all very mediocre accompaniments was insulting. 15% service charge???!!! On the whole, a very sad meal for the price.

The truth is that it is a beautiful restaurant. A privileged place. But the food is not good and very expensive. I ordered a chicken that cost €36 and it was not good at all. Bad taste and poorly cooked. A disappointment really. And then when it comes to paying it turns out that you either have the dissociated card (and on top of that you have to get up to their counter, because THEY DON'T HAVE DATAPHONES) or cash. They do not allow paying with the phone. Amazing in a place like this and in a city like Miami. Not even in the least advanced country does this happen today. I certainly WILL NOT RETURN.

Smith & Wollensky îs definitely the place to go in London if you are looking for high quality meat and amazing flavors. We visited the New York and Miami branches many years ago, so we had high expectations in regards of taste and quality. What can I say, London did not disappoint. Our premium irish fillets were cooked to perfection and to our liking medium and medium rare. Sauces on the side, porcini mushroom and béarnaise, were absolutely delicious. The fries were one of the best we ever had worldwide. Service staff was professional and friendly, the manager was very attentive. Altogether a delightful experience. We highly recommend a visit.

This place is really nice. The food is excellent and the whole atmosphere conveys quality. If you want a nice lunch or drinks in the evening, this is somewhere to consider. The reason for the 4* is that the mark-up is too much. We had wine that was £139 there, but is £35 for exactly the same bottle at Strictly Wine. They also add a 15% service charge, so the bill is much higher than it should be.

Dinner with family a group of 4. The food and restaurant ambience are very good. Just one thing to point out that all staff members should be fully trained as one of the team member who served us is not professional at all and made us all had hard feeling. As we had late lunch and we are still a bit full, decided to order 3 starters, 2 mains (600g chateaubraind and 400g sirloin) and a bottle of wine. When we placed the order, the waitress was not happy we didn’t ordered each person a starter and a main which I don’t think it is a must, looked at us with a contemptuous eyes and left. When the chateaubraind came, waitress cut them to 6 slices in front of us and said ‘it’s just a small portion like this not sure can share with 3 people’. And when the sirloin came we ordered in medium rare but it looks like a medium, we asked the waitress came to check and she confirmed with her notes again which we ordered correctly replied she think it’s a medium rare and took the dish away, few minutes later, a manager came to us and told us that is definitely not a medium rare and will cook a new one for us. At the end the manager waive us the steak, and the desserts, but when we pay the waitress showed the receipt to us and said ‘Your steak didn’t charged I think it’s a good deal.’ As a famous and high quality steakhouse the staff attitude and can’t identify food maturity which is very unprofessional. Not adding too much personal opinion would be great.

I visited Smith and Wollensky for the first time at weekend after my husband had been absolutely raving about it. However even his high praise did not prepare me for what we experienced. A beautiful restaurant, with what I would describe as old fashioned glamour as a theme (think roaring 20’s) which was spotlessly clean. The service was incredible (Tomas) - and his ability to take a huge order without writing anything down, recite it all back perfectly and for it all to be right was second to none. His recommendations were spot on - and not based on making us spend more. The serving of the food was theatrical in places - incredible. Everything is considered and thought through. The food was equally at spectacular - scallops and ribs were the mainstay of our collective starters and were incredible. We took recommendations for the beef - choosing chateaubriande and another cut, and sides including the incredible hash brown pie, creamed spinach, onion rings and potatoes. Every item was spot on The wine list is extensive and provides a breadth of choice and cocktails were amazing. Is it cheap ? No it’s not. But the quality speaks for itself - and as people say you get what you pay for. I for one cannot wait to go back.

So we finally returned after 7 years - which is hard to believe as our experience last time was fabulous and am disappointed we waited so long to return. We were given a friendly and warm welcome back from Falko the Manager who ensured the staff were aware we were celebrating our anniversary. We were seated downstairs and our server Spyros was attentive and a pleasure to talk to. To start we shared the bread and butter and tuna tartare simply delicious. Then my husband had the Irish Sirloin 400g steak and I had the US Fillet - both outstanding and easily comparable to steaks we have eaten in the US. It’s hard to find that here in the UK but Smith & Wollensky have it spot on and hands down easily the best steakhouse in the UK. We had such a great evening chatting with Falko and the staff who made the evening one to remember. We will most definitely be back sooner rather than later!

This was probably our 6th or 7th visit to Smith & Wollensky & we had a great time as always. We like to use the Travelzoo offers when available as they are such a good deal. The food, cocktails & service were excellent & made for a great birthday treat. Thank you.

The mac and cheese was so cheesy and creamy. It was really filling. I loved the service I got. Staff were attentive and friendly. The place was cosy and clean. The great thing about the place is that they do halal stake too, but you have to let the restaurant know 48hrs before you arrive.

If you want to eat in a well designed place looking as a set of the TV show 'Mad men', Smith & Wollensky is the place to be. Expect too pay around £40 pounds per person for a combo such as starter/meal/ drinks. Not too far from Covent garden but in a hidden spot, this place offers quality food & drinks in addition of a caring staff.

The steak was cooked perfectly. The sides were wonderful! Demitei made me the best decaf cappuccino I’ve ever had in my life!

Excellent steak and cocktails. A bit pricey, but worth it for a special occasion.

If you love steak, you’ll love Smith and Wollensky. Service is second to none, decor and atmosphere is simply the best and I haven’t even got to the steaks yet - simply won’t have a steak anywhere else.

I have been a fan of S&W for a while, having first discovered the chain in Miami and then was delighted to find a London restaurant. However, after my lunch there this week, I won’t be returning for a while. We were a few minutes early for our reservation and therefore seated early. Our server gave us our menus and a few short minutes later asked us or our food order - I felt completely rushed. (It wasn’t a full restaurant by any means) I ordered lamb and what I was served was awful grey leather (I am being generous). Everything about my meal reeked of being pre-cooked and heated up for serving. There is a huge sign in the wall that reads, ’quality meat’, I was not served quality is any way. This is not what I expect from S&W. I was quickly offered a replacement meal, and as my husband’s meal was already served, I asked for something quick. Of course it arrived as he was finishing his meal. When the bill arrived, there was no discount for inconvenience and my poor experience. And that’s the point, restaurants (in general) need to consider the entire customer experience, it's not just about the food, it’s how you are spoken to, how your complaints are dealt with, how an issue is resolved etc. it’s the whole experience from booking to leaving. I just felt, during this visit, that there was no real care shown and a bad attitude expressed by some staff, who were more worried about the service charge than how their customer was. I may have to chalk this down to Smith & Wollensky having a bad day, but they can’t have it at my expense. I will be avoiding for a while.

Nonostante non sia un ristorante italiano , S+W è gestito da una italianissima simpaticissima valtellinese . Camerieri molti italiani , ti senti un po’ a casa . Sono stato per una cena aziendale per cui non posso giudicare rapporto qualità prezzo . Però ho mangiato una buona carne . Il servizi è stato super efficiente . Bevuto molto bene . Nel cuore di Londra ( Covent Garden ) . Consigliato

Wow! Smith and Wollensky Travelzoo vouchers provide my wife and I to enjoy venues or activities that we might not otherwise choose to undertake. Such was the case with our first visit to Smith and Wollensky, and it will not be our only time after a fab experience dining there yesterday evening. We were served with the Travelzoo menu…sirloin steaks, fries and salad and all cooked to perfection! To start our evening we were seated by our waiter Alberto at a comfortable and well presented table which gave us a good view across the remaining part of the restaurant. We were then served our complimentary cocktails, and we also ordered two split pea soups with bread to kick off our evening dinner. Soup was very tasty and well seasoned and bread first class. Service was excellent, thanks Alberto! Great restaurant with a buzz. Anthony

My friends and I visited S&W recently and it was fabulous. The restaurant was art deco and had a very nice feel. The steak was perfectly cooked and the overall food was delicious. If you haven’t been it’s well worth a try

Muy cómodo, espacioso restaurante dirigido por un equipo de atentos, personal calificado. Nos una mesa de 4 que todos tenían filetes. Ellos estaban perfectamente preparado, lleno de sabor delicioso acompañado por ambos lados. El vino es muy barato por su calidad. Bien hecho MPW. Sin duda volveremos cuando esté en la ciudad.
