    Over priced. The food was ok, but not exceptional. The Beef Stew meat was clearly gristly, even though it was chewable due to long slow cooking. Our order of mussels was delivered with the wrong broth and spices. Good, though. Great beer. Decent fries.

    It was an unexpected but welcome surprise to have new specials recently introduced on Netflix’s Culinary Class Wars. Even without the specials though, the cocktails, the regular favorite dishes, the ambiance, and the staff all make for a truly southern fine dining experience with a mouthwatering Korean twist.

    I've been there many times. Truly varied, sophisticated, and nuanced Afghan cuisine--well beyond just the kabobs that dominate many other Afghan restaurant menus. Good service, reasonable prices considering the quality of the food, and tables well spaced and thus the noise level is rarely if ever a problem, unlike at so many other restaurants nowadays.

    My husband and I decided to celebrate Thanksgiving at The Smith, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. The prix fixe menu was fantastic, and our server, Jaiho, made the night truly memorable with her enthusiasm and friendliness. We started with the kale salad and butternut squash soup. The kale salad was delicious, and I would happily eat it any day. The butternut squash soup had great flavors, though it was a bit thinner than we expected. For our main courses, we opted for the turkey pot pie and short ribs. The pre fixe menu included sides for the table, which were all super tasty but very filling! We couldn't resist the apple toffee bread pudding and pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. They were both so tempting that we had to have at least one bite before asking for a box to bring them home. Overall, the Thanksgiving pre fixe meal was generous and tasty. The Smith's atmosphere and Jaiho's excellent service made our holiday celebration truly special. We'll definitely return, whether for another holiday or a casual meal!
