Description

The visitor had best be in the mood for thick slabs of meat and fine wines. Large enough to accommodate the occasional junket groups of executives or lobbyists, Smith & Wollensky is divided into cozier dining areas, suitable for discussions of business or politics over cigars and brandy. But in addition to the polished wood and brass, fin-de-sieclé decor of the steakhouse, the restaurant does sponsor a more casual Wollensky's Grill area (featuring the bar and a simpler menu), as well as outdoor café tables lining Farragut's busy sidewalks

three strikes
I've tried to give S&W the benefit of the doubt, however, my last visit there is my last.
They can't mix a drink, usually muck up the bill and the food sucks.    [13 Oct 2005 16:02:26]
