Smith & Wollensky suffers from the steakhouse syndrome: the old-boys'-club décor with an obsession with size. The huge dining areas are awash in suits sniffing merlot corks and tucking into dry-aged sirloins. It’s hard to blame them: The meats are succulent and cooked almost invariably to order—a credit to both waitstaff and kitchen. But the portions, like the room, feel over-the-top. (And not just the beef: a two-pound-plus lobster is notably less flavorful than its lighter-weight cousins.) But while the room’s a little unoriginal and the food supersized, manly carnivores will undoubtedly find that Smith & Wollensky offers just what they were looking for.
