    Steak was way under cooked and waiter noticed it and sent back. Then it was well done on outside and medium rare on the inside. Disappointed

    The weekend wine dinner included Prosecco or martini while you’re waiting for the table which was a nice touch. The food was outstanding and our waiter Sam was delightful with stories of serving many famous people over the last 25+ years. It was an enjoyable dining experience.

    Plenty of other places for a quality dinner in the city, this was the most dissatisfying experience I’ve had at a restaurant. Will not be going back, and strongly do not recommended.

    Delicious good, excellent service. They cram too many patrons in their space. We would have enjoyed our excellent meal a lot more if we weren’t elbow to elbow.

    Been to S & W many times. Made this reservation months ago and table was located by the restroom and server station. Moved to a better location within the restaurant. Food not as good in other visits. Lamb chops were lukewarm. We've had much better results at S&W in the past.
