The story
The Smith & Wollensky at 92 Middlesex Turnpike in Burlington, Massachusetts has permanently closed. The team expressed genuine gratitude to the Burlington community for three years of support, describing it as a privilege to have been part of guests' celebrations and special moments.
For those who came to know this steakhouse in Burlington, the broader Smith & Wollensky name needs little introduction. Recognized with a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2024, the brand has long stood for serious, prime-cut steakhouse dining paired with a wine program substantial enough to earn that distinction. The Burlington location carried that same commitment — meat, fire, wine, and what the restaurant itself calls "culinary craftsmanship" — to the suburbs north of Boston.
The closest alternatives within the same family are the Boston location, a harborside steakhouse where the Financial District meets the Seaport, and the Wellesley location, described as classic and sophisticated, set in Church Square. Both carry the full Smith & Wollensky steakhouse menu — signature starters, prime steaks, seafood, and desserts — along with the wine list that earned the brand its Wine Spectator recognition.
