    Great weekend wine dinner. Beautiful filet mignons cooked medium rare as ordered. Terrific service. The waiter kept appearing with more wine.

    I had higher expectations for S & W considering this is an established NYC steakhouse. There were 2 issues: our server was pushy. Very pushy, almost rude when 2 people in our group of 4 did not want to order a drink and he also seemed annoyed that we were sharing 2 appetizers. However the main issue and reason why I will not return is that all our food: apps, steaks and sides arrived at the same time! At a NYC steakhouse? It took quite a few minutes for our server to return, asked if they should “hold our steak in the kitchen” then said “I will bring dessert on the house”. What? One of those steaks was a porterhouse at $140 the others were filet mignon. Not acceptable in my book. They need to work on the timing and bring food out appropriately. Obviously the steaks continued to cook. My medium became med- well done. Perhaps it was an off night but I felt we could’ve done better elsewhere for what we spent on dinner.

    Service & food was fantastic! We had a 8:45p reservation and they sat us right on time which was nice. We sat upstairs. Noise level was medium to high initially then tables started clearing out so the noise level became more enjoyable for conversations. Coat check is available if you need it. Highly recommend requesting Brad & Ronnie as your waiters. We’ll definitely be back!

    Great service and excellent for Thanksgiving dinner. Wish we weren’t placed in a random room due to how busy the restaurant was. Service was outstanding, Oscar (I believe) was great!

    Well, I made last minute changes in my party size. Those people know what service is. Hostesses were incredible, made the impossible to sit us. Servers (Luis & Francisco) took care of our starving kids with so much love. That's why it is one of my favorite restaurants in the US. At any location they have an incredible culture of service. If I say thank you, I am short. Blessings and happy holidays.
