    Great food and very attentive service. A short wait to be seated at our reserved table. But nothing to worry about on that busy evening.

    My favorite spot of course! Though I wonder how I’ve fallen off the VG list. First time ever I didn’t get VG service so kinda bummed. Still the best.

    Food was great and the service was stellar! There was a small issue with the temperature of my steak, but it was rectified immediately by the waiter, with apologies from the chef and a visit from one of the managers to ensure all was well.

    Food was great, but service was super slow. Sat for 40 minutes before getting our raw bar appetizers. We were seated at a horrible table where servers used the space behind us to get to and from the kitchen. Got knocked into constantly. Bummer since visited from out of town.

    Shrimp and grits were amazing. Loved how we got a free cocktail with certain entrees. Loved the still and sparking water combo for the table. Waiter was awesome, but he was very busy so not the greatest service in town

    The food was good. Portion sizes were on point. The brunch cocktails were included if you purchased certain dishes. The cocktails were hit or miss. Server was slow to notice us but was fairly attentive thereafter - unclear if it was a communication issue with the hostesses that led to the delay - was a solid 10 minutes before anyone brought water to our table & asked for our drink order. We all added on an extra side to our brunch main dishes - something that normally you would expect to include in the dish. With less and less brunch options in DC, this was fine.

    The Smith is consistently outstanding. We had an awesome meal. The place was packed but our server was attentive. I had the soba noodles and added salmon. It was awesome. The others in my party had the vodka penne and gnocchi and they said it was awesome.
