New York Located in midtown Manhattan, the first S&W steakhouse occupies a stand-alone building whose wooden exterior bears the trademark green and white colors (which actually were inherited from Manny Wolf's Chop House, which operated between 1897 and 1977, when it became Smith & Wollensky, they simply changed the sign to "Since 1977" but otherwise kept the type of lettering used on the outside of Manny Wolf's the same). Also included is Wollensky's Grill, a bar room within the restaurant with a more bar-type atmosphere and food, and is open later than the dining room. The New York location was used for a scene as a meeting place for
Christian Bale and
Willem Dafoe's characters in the 2000 film
American Psycho. It and its kitchen were also used for scenes in the 2006 film
The Devil Wears Prada. It was also used for the famous 2008 $2.11 million and 2007 $650,100 "Power Lunch with
Warren Buffett" charity auction on
eBay, with Zhao Danyang and
Mohnish Pabrai &
Guy Spier, respectively. When Mr. Stillman sold the Smith & Wollensky Restaurant Group, he retained ownership of the New York restaurant, although all locations share promotional and marketing efforts.
Chicago Bearing the same green and white painted exterior as the New York location, this steakhouse overlooks the Chicago River and the Loop. It played a role in the revival of Chicago's River North area and is neighbored by
Marina City and the
House of Blues. This location was featured in the 2006 film
The Break-Up. Miami Beach In a two-story building on the waterfront, S&W's Miami is technically located at the extreme southern end of
Miami Beach and offers views of the Miami skyline and ships passing through
Government Cut into and out of the port of
Miami. It takes advantage of its waterfront location, with an outdoor patio for diners to enjoy the outdoors.
Las Vegas The restaurant had three floors and was across from the
City Center on the
Las Vegas Strip. Two years later, on May 15, 2019, the restaurant re-opened in a significantly smaller location within the Grand Canal Shoppes at
The Venetian Las Vegas.
