I'm less sanguine than reviewer CT about this restaurant's contribution to the dining scene. There isn't much to distinguish it from chains like Earl's or Milestone's, but those places seem to be doing fine, so I'm sure S&M will too. Like those places the menu is a bit of a masculine gastronomic grab bag, with burgers, steaks, meaty salads (e.g. Cobb), and south east asian bowls predominating. Happy hour specials consist of about a dollar off select beverages and appetizers. Dark interior with low lighting and plenty of televisions makes it feel like a cross between a sports bar and a casual lounge.
The grilled bread hamburger was substantial with straight up classic flavour, and there are a number of choices for sides. The sauteed brocollini was tasty if a bit underportioned, and the dill dip for the fries a nice touch. The Manhattan was just right. Minor variations on what you'd expect at other common chains are welcome, but don't warrant an extra star, so three stars.
