Poor service; so-so food – I wasn't impressed with this place. The service was horrible, our waiter clearly didn't want to be there, and let that be known. We had a group of 10 people and the staff seemed annoyed to be serving us, rather than appreciating our business. The food was so-so. It took a very long time to get our food, and when we did- some of our steaks weren't cooked as we asked. Not a horrible meal, but certainly not worth the price. If you're going to spend money on a nice steakhouse, pick another one.
Worst Restaurant Experience in Boston – I made a reservation for 9:00p for my husband and I to celebrate his birthday. When we arrived we were told they were running 15 minutes late and to wait in the bar. No problem. We grabbed a drink and waited, and waited and waited. Every time we tried to speak to the hostess she would say she'd check and let us know. She never once got back to us. So, after waiting for more than an hour we left. We had absolutely no desire to eat an enormous meal at 10:30p at night or whenever they'd g... read more
Truly disappointing – I'd been looking forward to trying Smith & Wollensky since they opened in Boston, and my first (and probably only) experience was very underwhelming. I started with a Caesar salad, which had limp lettuce, stale croutons and an average Caesar dressing. The filet was undercooked and fairly tasteless - I've had much better at other steakhouses in Boston - and my husband's sirloin was equally undercooked, but had more flavor. They certainly weren't worth the premium prices. I'd eyed the huge slice of chocol... read more
Truly fantastic!!! – I recently had dinner there with my girlfriend and had a great dinner/evening. Our waiter helped us with picking a wine which was exactly what we were looking for, and the food was absolutely fantastic. We were in a cozy booth and apart from it being a bit noisy everything was all we could have hoped for.
I love this place – I wish I could afford to eat there every night. The food is exceptional and everything else falls into place.
Awesome – I think I could have died and gone to heaven without regret after eating the lamb chops. I been to all the steakhouses in Boston and I have to say I was impressed to say the least.
Superb Food and service – Better than G23 or Flemmings hands down. A little noisy but most busy steakhouses have that issue. If you want a table that is a little less noisy make sure you let the host know that and there are options as I found out first hand.
Everything was great – I was reading through all these reviews and cant understand what these people are complaining about. I have had dinner at this place on a few different occassions and it is as good or better than any other place in Boston. Service was great and the food was even better every time I've gone there.
not worth it – i went during restaurant week, and it still wasnt worth it. tried two appetizers, neither of them very good. my steak was extremely undercooked, i dont expect that at this type of steak house. the people next to us got there after us, ordered after, and were done with their meals before we even received ours. bad service, and ok food. would not go again, definitely not when its full price!
