   Enjoyed a cocktail at the bar where we rolled the dice (literally) to determine the ingredients in our Old Fashioned. Fun to say the least! Dinner with some fresh salads and chowder. Unique combinations in the salads were very good. Steaks and fish for our group. Everyone enjoyed their dish. Tea, coconut cake and a cream brulee for the grand finale. Wonderful experience. Glad we went.

   Excellent food and service but overpriced compared to several other equally good steakhouses in the area.

   Music was way too loud at first, they corrected it and from there, smooth sailing. Arguably a top 5 steak in my book. Good selection of Wine by the glass. Great steak house level service. Will be back

   WOW. This was my 2nd Saturday here and I can say, without hesitation, that S & W is the best steakhouse in Massachusetts and I’ve been to all of them. The Wagyu fillet was like butter, tried 3 different sides this time, all were spectacular. The deserts were amazing. Service and pacing are also phenomenal. Special thanks to Aaron, Zack, and Sam (and the beautiful hostess) for proving that my first dining experience was not a one-off experience- that, in fact, this S & W location sets the bar for the highest quality food and service ever.

   I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my wife’s birthday at the Burlington location of Smith & Wollensky, and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Our server, Phillipe, was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful with our drink selections. We both ordered Old Fashioneds, and they were some of the best we’ve had—smooth, balanced, and full of flavor. For dinner, we chose the Surf and Turf for Two, and it did not disappoint. The Filet Mignon was cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The lobster tails were equally impressive—succulent, buttery, and incredibly fresh. To top it all off, the Assistant GM made multiple visits to our table to ensure everything was just right, which added a nice personal touch to the evening. From the outstanding service to the flawless execution of our meal, Smith & Wollensky Burlington delivered an unforgettable dining experience. We’ll definitely be returning for another special occasion! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

   My wife and I made a reservation for our anniversary and not only was our anniversary not acknowledged the service was really below average compared to the last time we dined with you guys. Our waiter forgot what we ordered for drinks and it took almost 20 minutes for our drinks to arrive. We ordered all our entrees and food at the same time because we barely got checked in on. I felt like we were thrown at a table and basically ignored up stairs compared to being downstairs. My wife's steak wasn't the greatest compared to last time as well. What was suppose to be a fantastic night out for our anniversary basically turned into a high price bad experience. We couldn't even find the manager to explain what happened. Very very disappointed with our service and experience this time around.

    The waitstaff was very good, they were friendly and attentive. That being said the steak was below average. We got the Porterhouse for two which is $190 and it was bone dry. I get that it is dry aged, but I am used to getting these types of steaks with no need for a sauce and it was screaming for moisture and salt. I could have gotten a less expensive steak if I had known it wouldn't be amazing. It's a shame to pay $190 for a steak that needs sauce. *I have been to S&W many times over the years and I used to say it was better than Peter Luger's, but maybe that is no longer the case*
