    The Grill may be the little brother to Smith & Wollensky but it carves out its own identity. Bartenders pour out great cocktails and there's always tons of energy in the room.

    The food itself and our actual servers were wonderful BUT the maitre'd/host in the grey suit was blatantly prejudiced against non-white customers. This was very sad to see as we are Asian, live in the neighborhood, and are regulars to the restaurant (S&W). We tried to grab his attention and he ignored us each of the 6 times - we know for a fact that he saw and then he obviously turned the other way and went to greet other white tables with alacrity. At one point, he flipped his head with an eye roll. Once we can ignore and call it an accident - 5-6 times is a habit and pattern. This is completely ahorable behavior and unacceptable for an institution of this caliber. Our servers were fantastic and the food as great as always but the captain/maitre'd should be taught proper ethics and how to treat individuals in society as a whole.

    Our first dinner in NY 1/28/2023. We were seated in some right corner where you couldn't even pull your seat out and given a menu. We didn't know it was restaurant week. We proceeded to order both ribeyes, mash, and mushrooms. The place was loud and bustling I don't think our server took our order correctly. Last, we had coconut and chocolate cake for dessert. We got the bill and it said we ordered four rounds of wine. That never happened. Show me who drank this because it wasn't us. The overall experience was unpleasant for me. Tables around us were trying to flag down the waiter. It was just chaos and we shouldn't have been billed for the wine orders. Thumbs down Wollensky. I won't be back.

    Was in midtown for work and stopped here for dinner. The steak was delicious! The sides were good too and the drink was strong. The service was good. It is more casual so definitely a different ambiance than fine dining.

    I'm surprised Wollensky Grill doesn't have a higher rating. I stopped in on a weekend for a solo lunch and it truly hit the spot. I got the classic caesar salad, prime wollensky burger with cheddar, and took a slice of cheesecake to go. The caesar is actually what inspired me to write this review. It was so crisp and well dressed, I am addicted and will absolutely be coming back just for this. This might be my new favorite caesar salad in the city. I'm constantly on the hunt for good burgers in the city and this burger was an absolute hit. I ordered it medium and it was perfect. The pickles were on the sweeter side but still good. They also offered both red and white onion slices which was awesome, I loved having the option to choose. The waffle fries were super crispy and fresh. I have no notes! As for the cheesecake-- it was exactly what I expected in a cheesecake and a perfect treat. Service was super attentive the entire time. Everyone was friendly and quick! Again, no notes! I will definitely be coming back the next time I get a craving for a steakhouse burger!

    Had a nice experience at S&M Governors Cut in Miami celebrating a friend's birthday and another's promotion the weekend before NYC for business. Thought I would try the original. Was more in mood for casual so ended up at the grill. Great NYC service from Oliver at the bar who steered me to the prime sirloin and S&M house Cab. Perfect and sirloin was better than 95% of NY strips (I think it was a NY strip) ~ $35. Enjoyed great company at the bar with a regular from the neighborhood swapping story. The only thing I didn't like is this place is popular and crowded. I personally like a little more room, pandemic or no pandemic. I'll be back.

    The desserts stole the show! Great establishment but I was not amazed by the experience. The menu is built nicely with several tasty options. Appetizers and food is legit, so are the sides... but I've had better steak experience in other places. The Cajun crusted steak was tasty, not overly spicy. The porterhouse for two was "ehh". I thought this would exceed my expectations, but not really. Even the homemade BBQ sauce tasted like Wendy's bbq sauce. As for the pecan pie in ice cream and apple crumb pie they were phenomenal! The pecan topped ice cream had brownies hidden on the bottom!! Best part of the meal. Worth coming here just for those.

    Last minute stop while traveling. Nice casual from the parent restaurant. Burger was good, not great. Wedge salad was good, not great. Cocktails and bar service were worth the visit!

    Med rare filet mignon...

    Top notch from start to finish. We arrived on a semi busy Sunday afternoon about an hour before our reservation. They seemed to have no problem taking us early, a plus! Both of us thought the place had a cool old fashioned vibe to it. Service was excellent, not hurried. I started with the clam chowder. Delicious and chock full of clams but not as creamy as I would've liked. Then came my bone-in filet mignon. Grilled to perfection, I hardly needed a knife! My wife ordered the English cut prime rib,rare. It was still pink when she got it. She loved it!! We respectively ended with a cheesecake and a carrot cake...both delectable and enormous!! Well worth the price!!!

    The food is as always amazing, just like the Steakhouse, the service was excellent and the waiter was very nice and friendly and would check in on our table. The ambiance is very "casual sexy " with white table linen, very clean I might add. The drinks are plentiful and they always give an hearty helping of food. I would recommend for a first date or a after work spot, or if you're a tourist you should try it out, it's a New York Staple. Oh wait, the macaroni and cheese is BombTasticalDeliciousYumminess and waiter gave us free desserts to take home.

I usually get the wonton soup with the jiaozi dumplings, and it's one of my favorite things on the menu. I haven't really seen that combination anywhere else, and I think it's really unique and really good. They also have a great happy hour. I'm not the biggest fan of the wings, but the shrimp and lobster roll is definitely worth trying. The service has always been good when I've visited, and the atmosphere is always a vibe. It's close to the Theater District, so it's a great spot to grab dinner before or after a show. There's usually a nice crowd, and you might even bump into an actor or celebrity. Overall, it's a place I keep coming back to because the food is consistently good, the service has been solid, and the overall experience is always enjoyable.

A bit too loud to talk to each other. There is plenty of seating in the waiting area and seating by the bar to order something while you wait. Décor was stylish. Service (5/5): Carolina was the sweetest server on a weeknight evening. She ran down the menu in a helpful way by telling by setting expectations for dish sizes. She checked in regularly. Food (4/5): The food was good, but nothing stood out, especially for the price point. Chicken wontons (3/5): Nothing to right home about Potstickers (3/5): Nothing to right home about Vegetable lo mein (3/5): Nothing to right home about, sweet/salty sauce Philly spring rolls (4/5): Better than the others because it had some more flavor and was pretty unique Steak chimichurri (3/5): Sauce was good but they cooked a medium steak that it was tough to chew Filet mignon and broccoli (5/5): Wow this was hands down the best dish of the night. The pieces of meat were generous and SO SO tender!

I sat at the bar, since it was only me, but tho the bar wasn't busy and service was friendly, it was very slow. The food was wonderful! I'm glad I made the choices I did, tho of course nothing I wanted was included in the happy hour specials. The fried calamari was some of the best I've had tho it was observed with a little bit of cocktail sauce and a huge thing of tartar sauce. I'm sure I could have gotten more cocktail sauce, since I don't like tartar sauce, but it wasn't necessary. The calamari was so good. The lobster bisque was delicious and the picture can't show you that it was full of lobster. There was a LOT more lobster than a lobster bisque normally contains and the price was about normal for a lobster bisque with one tiny piece of lobster. The iced tea was a bit out of control. If I'm going to be charged $5 per glass of iced tea, that glass should be larger than the ones they use AND not 90% ice. That much for a glass of ice with a splash of iced tea is extreme. I'd still return, since the food was wonderful and hopefully I just got unlucky with the service.
