    We were seated in the overflow area and it was not worth the money that the meal cost. The temperature was very cold compared to the main part of the restaurant, the chairs were different and smaller, they totally disrupted our meal half way through to assemble a wall partition and made us move our whole table over 2 feet. It was crowded (after the partition came up we were smushed up against a giant brown plastic wall), and offered zero ambiance. Felt like we were sitting in the second class area yet the menu prices are the same.

    Hello Kate, I'm happy you enjoyed the food and service, but not to hear what happened during diner. Certainly not something we plan on. We try to be as accommodating as possible even when a party brings extra guests looking to dine. I can assure you a situation such as that was an anomaly and we are truly sorry for any inconvenience that may have caused. We are looking forward to talking with you very soon.

    We had a great Easter Sunday celebration there today. Everything was absolutely fantastic! The food was amazing, delicious, tasty and beautifully presented, the drinks were the bomb! Our server Collette was perfect! So nice, pleasant, friendly and on point with everything. Everyone there was great, excellent and top notch service all around at this restaurant, always. Thank you so much for making our Holiday special and memorable... we will be back.

    Lousy start to the night. The people at the front desk couldn’t find my reservation ( which was made weeks ago which they finally found after lots of negative questions) and although we requested a table ( medical reasons) they tried to put us at a booth and then made us wait forever until they got us a crappy table against the wall, in the back. Obnoxious waiter, pea soup was horrible,bread was ice cold, drinks were all ice-little vodka, salads and steaks good. Lousy way to celebrate my son’s birthday. You should do better for those prices.

    Absolutely loved having lunch with our bartender Marshall. Wonderful conversation and great knowledge of the menu and wines. Much easier to get to Wellesley than going into Boston itself. Food was delicious and all the staff were very courteous and friendly. Thank you S&W!!
    Smith & Wollensky - WellesleyResponded on April 11, 2025
    Hi Kim, Marshall certainly can add to any dining experience, with his vast knowledge, experience and overall professionalism. Chef Chris takes his craft to new levels and together they keep great guests such as yourselves happy and coming back again and again. Ty so very much!

    The restaurant itself is very nice inside and outside but the servers seem to be spread very thin. We were unable to get the attention of our server or any server for that matter, which makes the a nice, expensive meal frustrating. The servers are very straight forward with no menu tour or recommendations. The food was good but the quality did not measure up to the price. The bread is incredibly dense and the fries portions were small as well.
    Smith & Wollensky - WellesleyResponded on April 11, 2025
    Hi Chloe, so just a ok experience is certainly not our goal. I believe that "anything worth doing is worth doing well" So we will have to review some dining protocol and pivot and make all adjustments to ensure a proper time here. Thank you so much for the feedback.
