Loud, chaotic, slow, unorganized. But its near the Verizon Center, so what do you expect? Food was decent and well-priced. Would I go back? No.

I have been to The Smith many times. I have not always been pleased with the food and service, but today was exceptional. Food was very good and the service was attentive.

The omelette I ordered looked and tasted like it was from an airplane menu. It definitely was NOT made from freshly cracked eggs. The “quarter pounder” chocolate chip cookie was about 3 oz short of a quarter pound. It was an average size, average tasting cookie. The waiter was kind enough to put a scoop of hazelnut ice cream on it, which made the cookie moister. Brunch per person was about $25, which is cheap these days, but the food wasn’t even worth that price.

If you’re a sticky toffee pudding fan you need to try it here. Staff was very attentive. Kind of noisy but that was due to all the Capitals fans excited for the game.

Location is great - across street from Gallery Place metro. We were going to Shakespeare Theater Company's Klein theater which is 2-3 blocks away. We were surprised to have two water bottles placed on our table - one still, one sparkling. Free. Refilled. Loved it. Food was excellent. Had soba noodle salad - a bit spicy and very good. My friends shared a veggie burger and said they couldn't tell the difference from regular burger. Came with fries - lots. Did 't have time to sample dessert as our play was at 7:30. We had been seated around 6:15. Server was pleasant and helpful. Definitely would return.

Everything was delicious the wedge salad and roasted tomato soup was amazing, the light lager and the frozen piña colada hit the spot, the hot chocolate to die for! My wife’s burger was also amazing, my bar steak though was on the small side kinda over priced for 33 dollars. Nice experience but would only come back maybe once again and try another entrée and see if portion sizes was any bigger. Waitress was OK but very hard to hear her opening intro to the store and the specials they had on. Only came the table a few times. Asked a busser for a second highchair, cause my three year-old kept falling off of the seat she said OK but never returned with one. Had to get a different person to get the high chair. Thought the experience would have been better.
