“You can get the steak which is great, and you can split sides together, of Mac and Cheese, potatoes or whatever you want. I would say this is tough to beat.”

“Agreed last time we went the waiter was also a dick. He decided he would be picking our wine. He produced and placed a bottle on the table without us agreeing. We walked out. Never to return.”

“my prime rib was so tough it got lodged in my gullet; I thought I’d met my maker. Also it just feels dated and worn.”

“Vibe atrocious unfortunately. I’ve been to S&W, Peter Luger, and Keens. S&W hands down worst experience out of the three. Extremely rude waiters except not in the sort of charming way Luger has them.”
