Smith & Wollensky – Steakhouse
This quintessential American steakhouse exudes a timeless grandeur, where white-jacketed service and the clink of crystal accompany magnificent towers of chilled shellfish shimmering on beds of ice. Masterfully charred Wagyu cuts and dramatic, salt-crusted tomahawks take center stage alongside prestigious Napa Valley vintages, leading the way to a grand finale of impossibly rich, towering chocolate cake.
