My wife and I chose to eat here for our dinner celebrating my birthday. I ordered the Wagyu NY Strip and my wife had the Chilean Sea Bass. The ambiance of the place was excellent. The wind off of the water was perfect and while there were many diners, it didn’t feel crowded. The Wagyu steak was quite simply the best I’ve ever had. It was cooked perfectly and accented with a lovely, nuanced sauce. The smoke added at the table enhanced the flavor and was fun. Gerald was our server and he was knowledgeable and professional. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Just go.
Immediately was greeted by friendly staff. No open tables at the moment, so we sat at the bar. Enjoyed a bottle of wine with steak and lobster with views of the river in the background. It was great!
The ribeye was amazing and cooked to perfection. Our waiter was very good and would highly recommend this restaurant.
Great service and great view. Seated by the window overlooking the river. Celebrated anniversary here with 1 hr booking in advance. Server was great and we got a cake at the end of service. You can order food from Smith and Wollensky but they have their own menu which is more affordable. Steak is okay but not the best. Will definitely be back.
Today I visited one of the best steak houses in the United States. The steaks were very good and delicious. They were worth the price. I recommend to enjoy the taste of a real American steak!
Went with their signature ribeye and Caesar salad. Both were enough to share. Loved the ability to customize the meal completely. The wine list was good. Competitive pricing and consistent with value for the experience.
We celebrated our anniversary here and couldn't have chosen a better place. The service was impeccable, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere made the day truly special. Highly recommend for any special occasion!
Every single member of the staff was exceptionally polite, kind, and made us feel welcome. The delicious food was a bonus to the wonderful atmosphere. Thanks for helping celebrate da wife’s birthday! Scored some major brownie points lmaooo
