Cocktails were excellent! Had a Hendricks martini and Yu-go Hugo. The baby iceberg salad, similar to a wedge salad, was delicious. We both had the twin petite filets wrapped in prosciutto medium but it was undercooked unfortunately. Waited for a couple minutes but the server wasn't around so we just made due with it. Whipped potatoes desperately needed salt. Dessert was creme brulee and it was a good portion and enjoyable.

Had a birthday dinner and all was wonderful. The surf and turf is excellent as is the bass. I highly recommend the roasted vegetables and Brussel sprouts. The coconut cake is over the top. Views of the river are wonderful! Brian, our server, was great.

Smith & Wollensky's is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. If you've not been, it's a must add to your dining plans when in the Windy City!

Can’t remember what the steak was called but it was big enough that my partner and I shared it and also got the Mac & cheese. Food was really good. Service was great. Atmosphere was dim lighting for a more romantic feel and it was pretty quiet. Went during st patty’s weekend so the place wasn’t as busy as it gets.

The food was absolutely amazing. The staff were very attentive and kind. Great experience. The whipped potatoes and steak was a power combo, and the crème brûlée was chefs kiss.

I just had my Top 1 of the most delicious, mouth-watering, melt in your mouth, high-quality steak so far. Comparing to other steakhouses I've been to that I remember (I won't say the restaurant's name just their locations like in Hong Kong, Japan, Las Vegas, Singapore, Philippines). This steakhouse was number one on my list now. Serving delightful food since 1977.They sanitized the seats and table every after customers. The staff was attentive, friendly, and well mannered. This Smith and Wollensky were located at the Marina tower One of the iconic buildings in the Chicago riverwalk. (The one tower looks like a stack of shells by the river and you'd see that cars were parked at the edge of the tower wondering what will happen to the car if it falls. ) This S&W has a great and romantic view of Chicago.March 31st, 2024 - Smith and Wollensky STILL THE BEST Steakhouse in the world for me! Elegant atmosphere, Classy personalized style, beautiful view , Steaks that melts in your mouth!, Thoughtful, and friendly staff, Most of all Mouth Watering food!Igor was our food attendant today, He assisted us very well, with a very friendly fun personality. The whole staff welcomed us with warm smiles, with their professional but friendly polite ways. Another way to make you feel valued and special. Elegant, Romantic atmosphere. It was for my birthday celebration and they were very thoughtful of giving me a birthday gift and greeted me!, We will make sure to come back here once a month. Thank You Smith and Wollensky Chicago team. You guys are the Best!!!Parking: This is in downtown Chicago beside the Marina Towers. Expect that you'll have a difficulties finding a parking lot downtown, but a lot of paid parking lots, and paid street parking around.Kid-friendliness: It is kid friendly place.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a wide door access for a wheelchair, and elevator going to the bathroom.

The crab cakes were cooked to perfection. The surf and turf was absolutely amazing! My girlfriend and I agree that that the steak was the best we've ever had. We will definitely be back to dine on the patio.

Wow, just wow, where to start. If you are looking for a great experience for a special occasion this is the place. I suggest when you make your reservation you make it known if you are celebrating an anniversary or birthday or whatever something special you are celebrating. Upon arrival the host confirmed our reservation and asked who's birthday we were celebrating. After answering they directed downstairs. I requested a table overseeing the Chicago River and it was spectacular. After being seated our waiter (David) presented me with a birthday card. What a great touch. David was extremely helpful and personal as well as professional and attentive. His suggestion for my dates drink was spot on and we will be requesting that at other places in the future. Before I touch on the food I need to mention the rest of the staff all worked together professionally and efficiently to remove used plates add new cutlery and clean up small messes. It was truly something to watch it all come together including a visit to our table by a manager wishing me a happy birthday, checking on our experience and truly making us feel special for choosing there place to celebrate. We started with the Angry Shrimp after discussing with David and they were fantastic. Brenda then had scallops and I had a New York strip. We shared an order of onion rings as well. The onion rings were good but after all the eating the past two days we just didn't have room for them . My steak was phenomenal and cooked perfectly while her scallops were also done just right (scallops can be tricky and will be tough if over cooked or like jelly if under cooked) the chef(s) really know their stuff. Lastly for dessert we had every intention of getting the coconut creme cake but much to our pleasant surprise a Giant Chocolate cake was delivered to our table. Compliments for my birthday and again it did not disappoint. What an unexpected and great personal touch from a high end and popular restaurant. From the moment we walked in to the time we left, the team at Smith & Wollensky made us feel welcomed and special. Thank you.
