    The Thanksgiving dinner was delicious! Our reservation was at 8:30, and we were seated immediately. The service was good and quick, and the food was truly amazing. We really enjoyed it! I highly recommend it!

    My family went to The Smith for Thanksgiving dinner. The place was packed! And for good reason. The food and service were outstanding. We all had different items from the menu and no one was disappointed. The gnocchi appetizer was the best I’ve had at any restaurant. The pot pie, short ribs and salmon all looked wonderful. My turkey dinner was really good. We all loved the stuffing. Lots of take home left with us as portions were a good size. I had the chocolate layer cake while others had the pumpkin cheesecake. Both were rich and delicious. I can’t recommend this restaurant more highly. By the way, two managers stopped at our table to check on everything. Very impressive.

    The Thanksgiving 3-course dinner was a beautiful experience for us. We had plenty of options, the food was delicious, and the portions were perfectly sized. Our server was kind and attentive. It was a great experience for a non-traditional at home Thanksgiving dinner.
