Smith & Wollensky Process
USDA Prime grade beef is dry-aged and hand-butchered in-house to ensure unparalleled quality, tender texture and outstanding flavor.
Yes, it’s the slowest, most time-consuming and most expensive way to age beef.
And yes, it’s worth it.
At any moment the Smith & Wollensky team is aging 7-12 tons of beef.
Smith & Wollensky Cuisine
USDA Prime, dry aged steaks are the cornerstone of their menu.
The food and drink are incredible. Well-balanced cocktails. Fresh oysters.
The old fashioned was a well-balanced blend of rye whiskey, bitters, citrus with the classic orange peel garnish.
The seafood was fresh. The oysters freshly-shucked laying chilled on a bed of ice shavings, surrounded by shrimp and the sides of lemon and vinegar seasoning.
The filet mignon was incredible – juicy, tender, with a pink, medium rare center and a seared edge.

The waitstaff was friendly, knowledgeable and very prompt. Occasional visits and quick to make menu suggestions for mains, side dishes and pairings.
