    Good but unnecessarily expensive, and despite our reservation (via Open Table) as a couple we were seated in the way back next to a family with screaming children. $450 (for the two of us) and wondering if we’ll return.

    Delicious food, however service was lacking. Took over an hour for the main course to be served, wajtress seemed to be mainly assigned to tables in the main dining room and forgot about us most of the time. Food itself also was very slow to come out. We just sat and sat without anyone coming to give us the bill or takeout containers. Also the table next to us wasn’t cleared even though the people had left over 30 mins ago. Odd impression for a fine dining establishment w these price points!

    Service was spotty. Long delay in getting drinks for half of the table. Had to ask multiple times for water. Had to reiterate/remind server of the order. Table wasn’t well kept. Expected much more given the bill was $600 for a family of 4.

    The bar is the best if you want a fun vibe and you can’t go wrong with Tara and the other 2 bartenders! If you don’t feel like driving to Boston this is the best alternative in Metro West. The food is always excellent.

    Thank you kindly Deborah! We are truly lucky to have the staff that we have! Will be sure to pass on the kind words

    We did not have a good dining experience at Smith and Wollensky … Our waiter was very, very helpful and pleasant but the food was awful. For the price that you pay to dine at this establishment we expected a lot more. I ordered the lamb chops and got two tiny raw lamb chops that were more fat than meat. My coworker got a lobster roll and when she bit into it , bit into a piece of frozen lobster. Our other coworker purchased the steak salad, which was an entire head of iceberg lettuce with a few pieces of meat - just a terrible dining experience. This was our annual business lunch and it was an embarrassment.

    Firstly we would like to apologize for the lack luster dining experience you had the other day at lunch. The mission is to have a five star experience from the minute you make the reservation to the moment you leave. Efforts are already in the works to correct the mis-ques. You have our full commitment that upon your next visit it will not only be a five star experience but one you will remember for much more time to come. Thank you for the feed back Megan.
