Wow, I absolutely loved this place! I'm as picky as they get when it comes to my steak. I've been to so many steakhouses and a lot of them just don't get it right even when they charge you an arm and a leg. Well, Smith and Wollensky has it right. From the friendly hostesses at the front door, the assistant helping clean the table, the super friendly waitstaff to the delicious steak. I mean wow! I'm impressed.
First we started with a wedge salad. We didn't want to eat too much and ruin our appetite so me and my hubby split it. They were kind enough to split it for us. Perfect portions, super fresh greens and yummy blue cheese dressing. Next came the filet Oscar steak and truffle mac and cheese. I requested medium rare and it was just that. Perfect flavor, juicy, covered with delicious lump crab meat and asparagus. Yum! The Truffle Mac and cheese was to die for. Melt in your mouth cheesy wonderfulness. I also tried my hubby's filet au poivre and the sauce was simply sinful. Nothing short of perfect.
To top it all off the staff was super friendly. We were Christmas Day diners and they gave us each a $25 bonus card for dining with them on the holiday. The card can be used between January thru end of February. What a pleasant surprise and gift. Our waiter was also just phenomenal. Big shout out to John from Jersey. Attentive, helpful, knowledgeable and kind.
I can't say enough good things about this place. I used to be a huge Ruth's Chris advocate and would tell people that there's no one better than Ruth's Chris. Well, S&W officially proved me wrong. I don't think I've ever been treated as well as I was treated at S&W. It's official. S&W you've made a fan out of me! I'll be back sooner than later! Thanks for an amazing Christmas dinner!
