Smith & Wollensky - Boston Boston

Smith & Wollensky sits at Atlantic Wharf on Congress Street. The location puts the Boston Harborwalk mere steps from the front door, offering a wide stretch of waterfront for a post-dinner stroll.

The restaurant holds a 2024 Wine Spectator Excellence Award, which sets the register for a room that leans into classic grills and seafood. While the city’s historic center offers plenty of cramped, century-old dining rooms, this space trades that intimacy for scale and river air. It is dressier than the casual spots near the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, making it the right choice when you want a formal meal that feels connected to the harbor rather than tucked away in a basement.
