A June opening (next week) is now confirmed for the first Smith & Wollensky to launch outside the USA.
Operating in the historic Adelphi Building on John Adam Street off the Strand, the restaurant will showcase Smith & Wollensky’s signature USDA Prime dry-aged steaks alongside British and Irish cuts, premium seafood, award-winning wines and classic cocktails.
The 300-cover, 15,000-square-foot restaurant has been designed by renowned restaurant designer Martin Brudnizki and comprises two bars, two main dining areas and three private dining rooms across two floors. In keeping with its sister restaurants in the US, the site will also feature butchery quarters and a dry ageing room.
Operations Director Nathan Evans says: “The team has beenworking tirelessly to ensure we hit our June opening date. From the construction through to menu planning, we’ve been incredibly busy behind-the-scenes to ensure Smith & Wollensky is everything those familiar with the brand have come to love and those who’ve heard so much about it will expect. We’re confident that when we open this summer we’ll deliver London’s best steakhouse with classic American hospitality in truly spectacular surroundings.”
The restaurant will take bookings for lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday and for Sunday lunch.
