Smith & Wollensky gift cards

Smith & Wollensky is the name of several high-end American and international steakhouses, with locations in New York, Boston, Chicago, Miami Beach, Las Vegas, London, Taipei, Philippines, Taichung and Seoul. The first Smith and Wollensky steakhouse was founded in 1977 by Alan Stillman, best known for creating T.G.I. Friday's, and Ben Benson, in a distinctive building on 49th Street and 3rd Avenue in New York, once occupied by Manny Wolf's Steakhouse. Many of the restaurants have a wooden exterior with its trademark green and white colors. The individual Smith and Wollensky restaurants operate using slightly varied menus. In 1997, Ruth Reichl, then-restaurant reviewer for The New York Times, called Smith & Wollensky "A steakhouse to end all arguments." Smith & Wollensky is owned by PPX Hospitality Brands and Danu Partners, with the exception of the NYC location.
