Nice Joint but that's about it – The Castle is impressive and the 4 floors of dining each have their own character. However, the infatuation stops there. The steaks were adequate, prepared according to order but nothing special. For the price, better steaks can be elsewhere in the city. The sides were small and had little imagination. Service was average as the staff was knowledgeable but left the water glasses empty way too often. I am glad I went but for the price I'll go elsewhere for steaks.
Alot of fan fare and no substance! – Let me start by saying my family and I are experienced diners. We went to this restuarant as a group of 15 with reservations. It was one of the worst experiences I've had in a restuarant. The service was painfully slow, the waiter got our order wrong and the steaks were not cook as requested. A medium steak was deliver very rare. When we brought it to the waiter's attention he began to blame my sister, telling her their steaks were on the lighter side and he had explained that to her. He ... read more
Amazing – Great food, great service, great wine list. I'll be back here again.
Rude is a four letter word – On the occasion of a 6/26 Genesis Fund dinner in the 4th floor banquet room, I and six friends had a decent meal and service. However, as we departed, the rear elevator stalled between the 4th and 3rd floors resulting in our being trapped for more than 45 minutes. We summoned the Boston FD who jaws-of-life removed us. Upon walking to the ground floor, the manager of the restaurant no only ignored us, but after we sought his response, he chastised us for overloading the elevator and causing it to ... read more
Not the best steak in Boston – We were very excited when Smith & Wollensky's opened up. It's such an interesting building, how could it be lackluster? Well it is. The ambience is nice, wine menu extensive, the steak was okay but the sides were poor. My husbands steak was not cooked accordingly but taken care of promptly. My steak was just okay. Do not order the cream spinach -- it tastes like spinach mixed with generic cream of spinach soup.
awesome space ,good steak – Going here was my Boston history lesson,really awesome building and decor.Food was great maybe more so becuase i wasnt paying ,the desserts looked way better than they tasted . Its N.Y. steak place with N.Y. prices but im ready to go again.
Portion control not here – My first visit did not leave me wanting to return for more, and not because i consumed 3 days worth of calories in one evening. We came on a Sunday night and were jammed into a busy dining area claiming the other rooms were closed during off-season (march?). The service started off OK, probably because we were their first customers, but as the night progressed my water glass stood empty. We were served wild salmon that was tasty, but had 50 or so bones in it. The crab cakes were excellent. The caes... read more
Nothing Like it! – Took a group of clients here for dinner and it couldn't have been better. Steaks were almost too big but cooked perfectly and the lobster fried rice was amazing! The building is beautiful and I have to say, there is nothing better than eating a steak in a castle! I'll definitely be back!
Surprisingly perfect – I'd read bad reviews here and on other sites, so I don't know if we caught them on a good night or if the managers have also read the bad reviews and made changes, but the service was impeccable. We arrived about 20 minutes before our reservation and were seated right away. Our waitress was outgoing, friendly and professional. The wine list was intimidating, but it wasn't hard to find a number of good wines around $40. Our steaks were cooked perfectly. Had creamed spinach and a heavenly truffled mac an... read more
