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.

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.

Our server, Missy, had a cheerful but calm energy that made our whole evening relaxed and smooth running. She guided us skillfully on choosing our appetizers and ensuring that we included everything we needed in our order, gently and with good cheer. The service level at Smith and Wilensky hits all the right notes, : attentive, but not overbearing, helpful and customer-focused, with no negativity or “attitude“ whatsoever. Your staff are the reason we keep coming back. Our delicious steaks, seafood, and desserts were all superb. Thank you so much for making the evening another memorable celebration for our family!

Ok experience, but fell short of the usual S&W experience. Steaks overcooked…service rushed despite a slow Tuesday evening.

Single worst dining experience I’ve ever had Started out with a Gray tuna tartare being delivered to the table. Seared Tuna even worse. The chef attempted to put a glaze on the Tuna, even though it’s supposed to be sushi grade and seared crust. The glaze was an attempt to cover the fact that the Tuna had an expired shelf life. It too was gray, I could only imagine how sick we would have been if we ate any of it. Managed came out and tried to tell us it was aged Tuna. When asked to explain what he meant he folded and apologized. Had 2 meals in the last week at the Congress St location and they were average at best. But this is a good wake up call for me, I don’t think I’ll be dropping $400 on dinner anytime soon. It appears they have given up.

Our sandwiches at lunch were delicious and the service was impeccable. And the chocolate cake for the birthday dessert was fabulous and to our surprise complementary . All in all a very positive experience.
