    We asked for, and were seated at, a relatively quiet table. Michael, the server, was outstanding. The food was delicious and served at a perfect pace. We had a wonderful experience.

    The restaurant was loud and the room we sat in kind of nondescript. Most of the food was good and nicely prepared. However I ordered salmon medium rare and it was served lukewarm, overcooked and dry. The service was good. I thought the food was overpriced but I was not surprised becases that is pretty common in steak house restaurants.

    Went for dinner last night and LOVED it. Perfect way to kick off the weekend. Hostess accommodated our seating request for a high top in the bar. Wait staff was terrific, helping me choose a wine with some tasting first. Then the dinner - amazing filet with the coffee and cocoa rub - accompanied by delicious truffle fries. Didn’t have room for dessert this time. Top notch all the way - in a comfortable, bustling and lively setting.

    Food was good but expensive as you would expect. The meals were each supposed to come with sides but they only brought 2 of each side dish for a party of 4. Service was OK generally slow and largely just taking order. Water glasses never refilled and we were finished for 30 minutes before finally finding the waiter to get the bill. When the meals were served they came on trays and whoever brought them over had a very difficult time figuring out which steaks were prepared to which temperature. He put them on the table and we cut into them and got them to the right people ourselves. Most restaurants have a way to tell which meals belong where on the table or at least know how the steaks are prepared so they can ask. Desserts were good.

    Thanks for the review, Craig! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our food and desserts at Smith & Wollensky - Wellesley. We apologize for the confusion regarding the side dishes and the slow service. We strive to provide the best dining experience for our guests and your feedback helps us improve. We hope to welcome you back soon for a more enjoyable experience. Also want to mention that the MOD that night did see the food runner have some difficulties and it was addressed right away.

    Wait staff is amazing but the food was underwhelming. We all ordered steaks. One was ordered medium well, and it was served as medium rare. We asked to cook it more and get it to the proper temperature and even then, it was still undercooked. It was an underwhelming experience for how expensive the restaurant is.
