| - I have been coming to S&W for Wine Week (10 wines for $10) for about 2 years (once every six months). It is one of my favorite restaurants. The atmosphere is awesome, service is homey, & the food is prepared simply and delicious. Don't expect modern skimpy food, expect generous tried & true food. I used to think this was an expensive restaurant, but now I believe that prices have caught up to S&W instead of vise versa.
This last visit I learned 2 thing new about steak at S&W...always order the fillet, and never order the rib eye (lol).
This visit the wine week wine selection was amazing, the highlight was the Jordan Cab. Sav.
The food ordered was:
Apps:
Scallops-delicious-3 huge pieces w/fresh & tasty produce. Good peanut sauce. 4.5/5
Flat bread w/shrimp and avocado-pretty solid app. It had a welcome amount of spice and beautiful tomatoes & avocados. 3.5/5
Main course:
Fillet Au Poivre-perfectly cooked, well made sauce, good texture. 5/5
Cajun marinated rib eye- it came bone-in (a plus), and was cooked as ordered, med rare. However, this had way too much fat + grizzle. I know the cut of meat I ordered is supposed to have fat, but this was way too much fat. The Cajun marinade was too peppery and over powering what little meat was on the bone. 2/5
Sides:
Mashed potatoes-good, solid. 4/5
Asparagus- big, fresh, & tasty. Served w/a nice sauce to boot. I cant help but feel that I am eating health as an added bonus. 5/5
Dessert:
Coconut cake: this is one of my wife's favorite desserts anywhere. It is simply put...Amazing! Moist, fresh, not too sweet, served w/ berries & fresh coconut, and generously served.
The service is 4/5.
I am not going to do the math...this is a solid 4 star restaurant. Next time when I order the fillet it will be 4.5/5 (let's hope). I dont believe this restaurant is trying to be anything more than a good stand by type of place.
More on the rib eye/fillet deal:
The best fillets I have had came from S&W. The previous time I visited S&W, back in October 2010, I ordered a bone-in rib eye and did not care for it. This time I ordered a Cajun rib eye and it came bone-in and did not care for it. One of my favorite steak memories hands down: bone-in Cajun seasoned rib eye from n9ne. I don't care for that place, but the steak on it's own was the absolute best piece of meat I ever had-nothing else about that place was mentionable.
More about the service:
You get one server, that's it. He/she takes your order, fills your beverage, & serves your food. In my experience the servers have always been cordial, I have seen other servers being more friendly towards other patrons, but have never received poor service.
