I juggled a stroller up the stairs while the host just watched me. When I was near the top he mentioned there was a ramp to the side. That would have been helpful 10 steps earlier. Then we were seated and ignored for 20+ minutes. I had to flag down a couple waiters to get us some water which we received after about half an hour. The waiter was apologetic and said he wasn’t informed we were added to his section. The manager came over later and gave us the most insincere apology from afar. He didn’t even get close to our table. If that had happened at a different upscale establishment I’m sure they would have made more of an effort and at least offered a complimentary drink. The filet was good. The truffle macaroni and cheese was partly good, partly inedible depending on your bite. We couldn’t eat it, because every so often you would get a mouthful of salt. Until then, I had never met a Mac and cheese I didn’t like. The view from a window seat or the outside patio is really nice. Desert was good and so was our waiter.

This is now one of my favorite restaurants here in Miami. This was a birthday gift for me and I was very satisfied. We ordered the seafood tower with 2 jumbo stone crab, porterhouse, mashed potatoes, crab cakes, long Island ice tea, and smoked pineapple drink. Oh and the coconut cake was very tasty... Every thing was absolutely delicious. Our waiters were great, and very attentive. Service was exceptional, and the ambiance was top notch. I will definitely return to this restaurant.

My buddy and I sat outside with a waterfront view. It was outstanding. The vodka martini was perfect and so was the Wagu Fillet Mignon as well as the asparagus! The Keylime Pie and a glass of port were also delicious and a nice way to finish our meal. It's expensive as hell....but it's really an outstanding experience.

We went here during the summer and it was so nice! Very fancy. We were able to sit outside, and we got to see many boats and a couple of cruise ships passing by. The staff was very kind, they even moved our table for us once the sun began shining on us. The food was SO GOOD! Our steak was the star of the show. My mom wished the steak was a little less rare, but besides that, it was delicious. I wish i had tipped the staff more, so i will do that in the future. We decided to make going to Smith & Wollensky a family tradition, so the next time we're in Miami, we will be back!!!

3.67/5 Smith & Wollensky is a nice option if you care more about having a memorable time over the taste of the food. The drinks here were excellent and you can't go wrong with the location's views. However, I didn't think the food was worthy. Maybe it's because I don't eat steak and that's what the place is known for. Thought the chicken entree was eh and the only part that was decent about it was the chimichurri it's topped with.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Smith & Wollensky - Miami Beach is the perfect spot for both celebration and business! After a successful training session, our Drone Training School team loves dining here to unwind and enjoy the amazing food, stunning ambiance, and breathtaking waterfront views. It’s also our go-to for client meetings—there’s nothing like discussing business over a perfectly cooked steak while soaking in the Miami vibe. The location is ideal, offering a serene atmosphere that inspires creativity and productivity. Plus, the surrounding area is great for flying drones, which adds a unique touch to our work! Highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking incredible food, a professional yet relaxed environment, and unmatched views. Smith & Wollensky never disappoints!

I had been looking forward to this birthday meal for months. My daughter and I came all the way from Iowa. Unfortunately I was a little under the weather and didn’t have my usual appetite. I tried ordering the $35 signature cocktail but they didn’t have the ingredients to make it :( The smoked margarita tasted like a paper straw to me. Our server was great but the real star was Manny the assistant ! He made the experience extra special for us and offered to take our photos leaving us with some great memories. We had nice conversation with him too. I did not eat all of my 28oz ribeye and some of it was too fatty for me. The server asked if it was ok and I told him yes that is how ribeyes go sometimes, and I told him I was happy with it. They still gave me the $99 steak for free ! Excellent customer service and I will be back. My daughter loved her USDA Prime strip, and the Mac and cheese. We also shared the chocolate cake and they sang happy birthday to me and we got the $15 cake slice free too !

The food and service were top-notch. I had the chili and coffee rubbed filet and the whipped potatoes. My wife had the tuna. Everything was phenomenal.
