Me and my friend had a great experience,first of all I loved the white , black and green colours of the restaurant. Food was delicious, my American sirloin was fantastic I highly recommend it, also the steak tartare it’s one of the best I ever had . The place has got a very good atmosphere and specially when the waiter come with a special steak and flame it in front of you. Service was good, we had a nice chat with the waitress about the differences from American feed steak and the Angus one . Definitely my favourite American steak house so far.

Special Birthday Dinner 9th February 2025 On 20/11/24 I booked dinner for my family member birthday. I spoke to Bernadette to explain that my family member is allergic to all nuts. She reassured me that that my family member would be fine. I also spoke to Susanna a manager who said they cater for customers who are allergic to nuts. On 09/02/25 we dined at 7:30 pm. A young gentleman came to our table and introduced himself as Richard the manager. I spoke to him about my family member nut allergies and he stated that my family member would be fine. We both asked for our Ribeye steak to be well done. However, when our steaks arrived i immediately used the knife to cut up the meal and was alarmed that inside the steak was bloody. I immediately called the manager and he took our plates containing the steaks said he will ask the chef to cook new steaks well done. After a while the manager returned with our steaks and chips. We were very impressed because the steaks were well done and succulent. We would like to thank the waiter Mack who was very attentive. The steaks were excellent. Due to my family member is allergic to all nuts the manager gave a complimentary dessert wine to celebrate her birthday and also gave 40 percent discount off the dinner. We were very impressed and told the manager that because of the excellent customer service we will attend the restaurant again.

The two girls who were at the front door on 12/31 were really overwhelmed. I didn't like their attention... we were with a baby stroller and they wanted to send us down the stairs, having a reservation at a higher table, and having gone well in advance. . Then, an attendant showed up, who completely turned our experience around, I don't know his name, I know he wore glasses, and he was really attentive, friendly and very helpful. One of the best things about the place, along with the food, which was excellent.

FAO Falko Molitor I visited Smith & Wollensky in London yesterday for an 8:00 PM reservation, arriving slightly early at 7:30 PM. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a short receptionist/front-of-house staff member who seemed visibly annoyed that I had arrived early. She informed me that my table was not yet ready but did so with a dismissive tone. When I asked if there was somewhere I could wait, she simply said, "You can sit at the bar," without offering much courtesy or guidance. What struck me as odd was that I noticed at least four unoccupied tables while walking to the bar. Despite this, I waited until 8:05 PM without any update on my table's status. The same receptionist made no effort to inform me when my table was ready, and I eventually had to approach her again to ask. Another front-of-house staff member then kindly escorted me to my table. On a positive note, the bone-in sirloin was outstanding as always, and the waitstaff were efficient and attentive. The bartender, in particular, was friendly and welcoming, offering a stark contrast to the receptionist's demeanor. However, the experience overall gave the impression that the restaurant may be understaffed during peak hours. While the food and most aspects of the service remain excellent, the initial interaction with the receptionist detracted from the overall experience and left room for improvement.

I called up this evening to enquire about any special arrangements taking place for New Year’s eve prior to paying a significant deposit to book a table, the phone was answered by ‘Rebecca’ who was extremely unpleasant and rude, cold. Not only was she not forthcoming with any information, abrupt and rude but she went on to tell me with an huge helping of attitude that they will be making every effort to ‘shut early so the staff can go home MADAM’. She refused to provide any further information and I’m seriously taken a back by this horrendous attitude. Why would anyone want to waste their hard earned cash on a restaurant that does not give two hoots about their customers or the level of service they are providing on the phone or in person. Totally gobsmacked. We hold monthly construction events at the end of the road and often go to the restaurant for dinner after, I will ensure we do not go back.

One of the best dining experiences we've ever had. My husband and I have been very lucky to have eaten in some of the best restaurants in the world and Smith and Wollensky has gone straight to the top of that list. We visited December 10th 2024 and upon walking in, it's like being transported to 1920's New York. The decor and ambience is superb. We went as part of our honeymoon celebration and they treated us like royalty. Champagne quickly arrived at our table and every single course of food was utterly outstanding. The balance of flavours and quality of food was totally exquisite. We are still in awe. We can honestly say we were sad to see the night end (which never happens)! Thank you so so so much to all the staff, but especially Kristian for making our visit so special. We are already planning our next trip back, we can't wait! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lovely restaurant, great atmosphere and the steaks are amazing. Service is always pleasant. However, when it's busy the service goes slightly downhill (probably to be expected) but the service charge does not. Of course it's optional. On this visit it was £38. I was somewhat dismayed when the waitress produced the card machine and asked whether I would leave a tip for her, the £38 was for all the staff. I politely declined. Cheeky as it's not cheap there and not all of us are well off enough to leave two tips!!! Great meal let down by a huge service charge and being asked for more!

I have been coming here 3-4 times per year for the past 8 years. There was almost no management visible on the day and my follow up email, sent a week ago, has not been replied to. The food was, as usual, excellent. Great steaks and always enjoy the deconstructed prawn cocktail. The prices have increased significantly over the past few years but that's inflation and I kept coming back because it was done so well. Unfortunately the service has gone downhill significantly, and leaves a bad taste when you're spending £600 for two people. The staff seem lacking in basic training, need regular reminders, get basic things wrong and don't seem particularly interested. There doesn't seem to be any management oversight to organise them. It made the experience for me and my guest very poor. The reception desk is chaotic at best, with long queues, unwelcoming and seemingly untrained staff and, at best, a disjointed handover to the restaurant. It is almost impossible to speak to anyone that knows about wine. The sommelier appeared once but was apparently busy in the private dining room next time, meaning we ended up with something nothing like the bottle we order earlier Service lacked any finesse, pouring our own wine most of the time, serving mains 2 mins after collecting starter plates, taking a long time to ask about dessert No one asked how the meal was, who I assume is the manager just came and took our money - the only time we saw her Overall, the service let the experience down so I wouldn't bring a guest here again. A shame but I can see others have also had service issues. I get better service at Pizza Express.

Disappointing. I have been to many corporate steakhouses in the US and was exited to try a local London one. The prices are US prices, in pounds instead of USD, so the same brand compared with US is about 30% more expensive. Service okay, not too attentive and a little slow however. Not much space at the bar to wait before being seated as well, so not great. Food was decent, shellfish tower for 2 okay, not worth GBP 120 though (again about 30% dearer than similar brands in US). Steak okay as well, came out lukewarm though. Didn't stay for dessert although selection looked decent. Overall disappointing, 30% more expensive than US, mandatory 15% service charge (with worse service) and lower quality food and selection

We had steaks, lobster, all the sides (and all were delicious!) and we ended with the big, chocolate cake - which serves four. Excellent atmosphere, the place is buzzing and music isn’t too loud so you can actually have a proper conversation. Highly recommend it 👌

Anywhere in London that serves USDA prime will get a visit from me at some point. Had the 850g Cote de boeuf, which is a truly outstanding steak. This isn't a cheap restaurant, even the sauces are expensive - however, if you really are a steak connoisseur, then it is worth it for the USDA prime cuts alone.

I haven't had a worse meal in a decade. Our reservations were at 19:00 and we were seated at 19:55. I came here for the thanksgiving dinner menu and I honestly thought that they accidentally gave me the wrong meal. The turkey is easily the worst I've had in my life. Dry, flavorless and a poor cut. The gravy had so much alcohol remaining in it I refused to use it and the putrid disks that look like anemic sausage patties were apparently the stuffing. Poor plating, every side dish tasted abysmal and the pumpkin pie was easily the worst dessert I've ever had in my life. I had to send pictures to everyone in my family because they couldn't believe how bad every plate was. Regardless of price, which it certainly was not inexpensive, it was such a horrible disappointment that I could never forget. I honestly hate leaving bad reviews but please do not come here thinking this is an acceptable thanksgiving meal or even a decent place to eat anything.

I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and I can confidently say it was the best dining experience I've had in London to date. The food was amazing, each dish was presented beautifully and tasted even better. The Irish tomahawk, in particular, was perfectly cooked to my liking. The sides complemented the meal well, and the chocolate cake dessert was top tier. What truly elevated my experience was my waiter, Tomas. His knowledge of the menu was impressive; he expertly guided me through the wine pairings and made fantastic recommendations that enhanced my meal. Tomas’ attention to detail was remarkable—he ensured that every aspect of my dining experience was perfect, going well truly above and beyond. Even managing to come out in the rain to bring me back an item I had forgotten on my way out! Smith & Wollensky is not just about great food; it’s about the entire dining experience. Thanks to Tomas, my evening was memorable in every way. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough! If you’re looking for outstanding food and service in London, this is the place to be.

What can I say? Smith & Wollensky is the best steak house I have ever been too. Apart from the cultural relevancy (Warren Buffets go to steakhouse), you honestly can't get any better. Super succulent steak, meaty, flavourful and melt in your mouth. The sides, to die for, hashbrowns, creamed spinach with generous portion of cream, fries, sauces etc etc. I cannot think of anything wrong with the place! We've been here twice in a month, and maybe the price? Over £1k between 4 people for two meals is a lot! Even for London standards, but oh god is it worth it. Service is impeccable, we've had the same waiter for both occasions, and he has been excellent to cater to our needs. Smith & Wollenksy takes steakhouse to a different level. Will I be coming back? 1000%, will it be next month? Probably no, as my bank will hate me, but definitely in time again for Christmas.

Friendly welcome to this amazing restaurant. Started with some oysters which were superb, followed by scallops which were delicious. Finished with the American fillet steak, with whipped potatoes, mushrooms and veg. Accompanied with a bottle of nyetimber Sussex sparkling wine. The food was excellent as was the service. Thoroughly recommend this superb restaurant. Thanks guys.

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.

The breakfasts were outstanding the bacon, sauages and other bits seemed to be of a very high quality as you would expect for the price. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.
