Outstanding experience!! Service, food and atmosphere were all excellent. Jenn H. was our server this evening. She was knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and overall lovely. We both ordered the surf and turf and were not disappointed. Everything was perfectly cooked and presented. We both noted that this was the best meal we have had on the island this season. Highly recommend stopping in for an enjoyable experience all around!

Sorry no pic. Best meal we’ve had on this vacation by a mile. We shared the short rib stuffed mushrooms. OMG to die for! I had the wedge salad with rare salmon. Perfect. Hubby had the gnocchi with short rib. Wanted to lick the plate. Great service by Chad and the manager stopped by. On the way out we made a reservation for tomorrow night. Wish we had tried this place ages ago. Update - Went back tonight and had another delicious meal. Got pics this time

We ate here two nights in a row. The Delmonico steaks (rib eye) cooked Pittsburgh medium was unbelievable! One of the best steaks we’ve ever had. We loved the truffle butter added on top.

We were seated with delight and enthusiasm. Our server was perfectly attentive. As for the cuisine, each dish was a wonderful crowd pleaser. Those short rib stuffed mushrooms are heavenly. The wedge salad, scrumptious! The desert selection, PERFECT!

Stopped in for an early dinner and got the 12oz prime NY Strip w/ Gouda Mac, it’s an up scale place with a sweet atmosphere, the service was quick with constant refills. Definitely a sweet date place or celebration. I’d recommend checking it out.

My husband and I have been going to Wise Guys for many, many years. The food is exceptional, the bar selections are outstanding and the service has always been great. We have now made it a must stop on our travels south from the northeast. Can't recommend it highly enough!

I returned to one of my fave places on the island Dec 12 with a local friend. We always visit this place and another next door. This visit I had the filet mignon salad $26. My friend had the short rib lasagne ($26). My meal was absolutely perfect, everything seasoned/flavored perfectly. My friend's dish looked a little heavy for me but she loved it, also. We chose a nice wine, I Googled it: Banfi Belnero is a premium Super Tuscan IGT wine from Castello Banfi in Montalcino, primarily crafted from Sangiovese blended with international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. It features a deep ruby color with notes of black cherry, plum, spice, and vanilla, offering a full-bodied, structured palate with balanced tannins. Enjoyed 2 glasses of it ($32)! We split the chocolate Pot de Creme ($10) for dessert, so good. The restaurant was crowded, as we went a dinner time. Were lucky to get a table, in the bar area, near the window. Our server was running by and I didn't mind at all calling out to him, as he didn't check on us as much as the table to next to us, who were regulars. Once they left, he honored us with his presence, actually lingered to explain the quality of the wine we chose. I enjoyed this visit, although I am spoiled on getting much better service in Dallas, but every time I visit the islands, I try to remember to focus on the food, company and atmosphere.

Everything from the salad, whipped potatoes, Mac and cheese, and definitely the steak was awesome. Highly recommended. Chad did a great job as my waiter.
