Smith & Wollensky

About

Smith & Wollensky London is the flagship of America’s classic steakhouse, establishing itself in 2017 as the brand’s first overseas location. Nestled in the historic Adelphi Building on the South side of the Strand, the restaurant offers a striking Art Deco interior that pays homage to the original New York flagship while providing the unmistakable warmth of American hospitality. Guests can indulge in USDA Prime dry‑aged steaks, premium Irish and British cuts, and a carefully curated selection of fresh seafood. Complementing the cuisine is an extensive wine list featuring globally sourced labels, as well as a range of handcrafted cocktails and an impressive array of spirits. The table service is attentive, and several private dining rooms – one with its own bar – are available for events and celebrations. Beyond the kitchen, the venue is a neighbourhood landmark: located just steps from the Savoy Hotel and, within a short walk, Trinity Church and the West End theatres. A local favourite for both lunch and dinner, it also offers brunch and a “pre‑theatre” service for patrons returning from the stage. With a sensible starting price of £18 and food and wine priced to match the premium experience, Smith & Wollensky provides a quintessential London dining experience that blends hearty steakhouse fare with a touch of Hollywood glamour. Its open hours run from 12:00 pm to 10:30 pm on weekends and to 9:00 pm on weekdays, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed meal any time of the week.
