Smith and Wollensky

Smith and Wollensky is America’s premier traditional steakhouse, committed to providing outstanding hospitality and delivering the best steaks that are U.S.D.A. Prime and dry-aged for tenderness and flavor. They hand cut their steaks on premises, and make their own pastries, french fries, salad dressings and soups fresh daily. Smith and Wollensky also offers an acclaimed wine list. The Philadelphia Smith and Wollensky is located at the AAA Five Diamond Rittenhouse Hotel. This two story steakhouse married its traditional cream colored walls and dark paneling with a large bank of windows that look out over Rittenhouse Square. The second floor promises a kaleidoscope of views as the seasons change, adding a new dimension to the dining experience. Inside, polished wood floors and brass trim are evident throughout, while whimsical American antiques, original artwork and plaques decorate the walls. On the first level, guests can enjoy a casual atmosphere. The main bar is a favorite hangout for neighbors, as well an occasional celebrity.
