Smith & Wollensky - Chicago

It's a steakhouse, so dont expect much more. They do steak and do it well. The atmosphere is great and the staff are perfect. We are not huge wine people, my partner, and I. However, they went through the wine tablet with us that had super cool programs to help select wine based on preference. For a nice steakhouse on the river, it was priced reasonably as well. The scallops were good, not fishy at all (which matters to me). However, the appetizer portion size for the cost seemed slightly inflated. 2 scallops were considered the appetizer, and it was $25. It was, however, delicious. If looking for a nice steak, some wine and to take in the river all warm inside would recommend.

Do not be fooled by the exterior, I assumed it was another Irish bar when in fact this is a fabulous restaurant. We sat outside and absorbed the amazing city feel and served by our delightful host Michelle. Very friendly and excellent knowledge of the menu and wines. The steak we had was superbly cooked and accompanied by a superb bottle of red which complimented it well (totally recommend - see pictures) The truffle chips were amazing and steak so flavoursome. Totally recommend this place for ambience , the food and lovely people hosting.

Reservations were easy to obtain & the views of the river were spectacular! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and everyone who we encountered was magnificent; especially our server Justin. We were given a beautiful card and a complimentary dessert in honor of our special day, both of which were unnecessary but greatly appreciated. I cannot wait to come back to this location the next time we’re in Chicago. 5 Star service through & through.
