   The service was quick. The vanilla bean french toast and the quarter-pounder chocolate chip cookie were very good. The complimentary brunch cocktail or juice was a nice touch.

   The Smith is reliable and good - but the noise level is always deafening.

   Only gave four out of five because the food was not five stars. Solid four though. It was loud when we arrived but I think that was due to hockey pre-game dinners for fans. Food-wise, the wedge salad was solid, the mac and cheese was super creamy, and that Smith Burger was good. Beer selection was just okay, nothing special. But our server? Amazing. Super friendly and helpful. Good food, great service, just watch out for the noise.

   I booked several business dinners for staff and clients while we were in DC this week. I got multiple texts from the [dining] group saying it was the BEST meal of the week. We had a ton on great dining experiences so this comment should not be taken lightly. From appetizers and drinks to their dinners - happy people all around.

   I celebrated my 70th birthday with family and friends at the Smith. The food was excellent and our server, Michelle, was excellent.

    Really enjoyed the Burata appetizer. Four nice crusty pieces of bread, spiced marinara, and Burata. Delicious. We had the blue plate baby back ribs for the main course. The rib meat fell off the bone and had a nice BBQ sauce. It was on cheesy grits that were as smooth and tasty as mashed potatoes. Sides included a delicious Brussel sprout cole slaw, and homemade pickle chips. Such a tasty meal.
