Smith & Wollensky Restaurant Group, a collection of boutique American steakhouses, has announced the expansion of its iconic brand internationally. Smith & Wollensky is bringing the classic steakhouse brand into London, opening June 2015, just off The Strand.
“We’ve always recognized the opportunities for expansion with the Smith & Wollensky brand. The iconic restaurants have a tremendous global following and rich heritage,” stated Michael Feighery, CEO and President of SWRG. “Our brand has experienced remarkable success and recognition throughout the U.S., and London was the most obvious place to expand due to the international appeal and demand. We are very proud of our history and contribution to the American steakhouse dining segment. Equally we have enormous respect for the U.K.’s spectacular culinary scene. This opening will pay homage as we bridge together these two vibrant countries with yet another common thread.”
