Old world charm meets new world hospitality in this lovely lakeside landmark. A longtime locals favorite serving award winning classic continental cuisine with a modern flair. The restaurant, resurrected from an uncertain future in 1997 by the combined efforts of the Coppola & Bushar families, has since reclaimed its spot among the favorite dining locations in the Atlantic City area.

    Excellent meal, service and food. Waitress was attentive to the table. Tasted the chicken pot pie and the pesto chicken pasta which both were cooked to perfection and flavors were married together well. Will be back for sure!

    I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The brussel sprouts and calamari were absolutely delicious. The cocktails were very good. Our server Dom was fantastic. Unfortunately the prime rib was only ok. So for me the meal missed the mark slightly but I think it was just a 1 time thing because their food is always awesome. A 4 this time but you can usually count on a 5 experience

    Nowhere near our first time coming here, just first time booking through open table. Out of all the eateries at Smithville this is the obvious choice for a nice meal. Excellent service, food is always amazing. Tricia and Johnny kill it, the 13th Manhattan drink is amazing and strong, filet mignon Oscar is worth every penny, only issue with the place is deciding which meal I want because unfortunately I can't have them all!

    The ambiance is great. Hoping Smithville Inn bring back the Sunday Brunch again sometime soon. It is what I have always loved about this place.

    We had a perfect belated Valentine’s Dinner… for our fourth year in a row. We also visit a few times throughout the year, spring, summer, and fall. A welcoming cozy atmosphere and the food, service and ambiance are nothing short of amazing. You will not be disappointed and, like us, will return. Enjoy!!
