| Ensconced in the tony The Rittenhouse Hotel, Smith & Wollensky is a magnet for local deal-making carnivores. The upstairs room, overlooking elegant Rittenhouse Square, is decorated with dark wood accents, turn-of-the-century fixtures and pieces of Americana. With service that is attentive without being smothering, Smith & Wollensky delivers oversize cuts of Prime beef along with specialties such as veal and wild salmon paired with one of six house-made sauces. Salads and hashed brown potatoes are dependably good, and it's hard not to fill up on the breadbasket, especially the pretzel bread. Even the pricey wine list offers a few reasonable choices, if you look. Downstairs, the bar is cozy and casual, and serves the same menu until late. |
