Ordinarily we have a good experience but this time it was so poor I felt a review was in order for the restaurant itself to consider. Our waiter would come over ask if we were good and before we could answer would run off. He took one drink order at a time so it took 45 minutes for us to all to get our first cocktail and order. At the end he came over and apologized and wanted to comp us dessert. We said we were exhausted and didn’t have the time. He promised it would take five minutes tops to bring it out. It took another 25 minutes to get a cold cookie. He didn’t bring it out and we couldn’t find him to get our check. We were seriously disappointed. We actually brought up the service issue two times earlier. Management should have put someone else at our table to correct it. It was a simple fix. I actually don’t know if we’ll go back as there are other steak houses in Chicago.

Thanksgiving dinner was very disappointing. Service was rushed, food was thrown on plate without any thought to presentation or care. Our table was in the basement, next to the service area. Definitely not the experience I remembered nor hoped for. Meat was ok. Not worth the price as it did not deliver on value.
Smith & Wollensky Steakhouse - ChicagoResponded 1 day ago
Thanks for the feedback, AlessandraV. We're sorry to hear that your Thanksgiving dinner didn't meet your expectations. We always strive to provide a memorable experience, and it's clear we missed the mark this time. We appreciate your comments about the service and food presentation. We're sorry that our food didn't hit the mark, and we'll certainly take your feedback into account as we continuously work to improve. We hope you'll give us another chance in the future
