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.

    Such an overall fantastic experience. Smithville Inn is a great location for taking your significant other out on a date. Cozy, warm atmosphere. Everything from check-in to checkout exceeded our expectations. This is my Valentines Day “Go-To” location. Has never disappointed.

    A little disappointing this time due to a part of the entree Chilean Sea Bass having excessive salty taste. The actual sea bass was fine, tasting as it should, but the Lobster-type reddish- colored sauce at the bottom of the bowl tasted like pure salt! Yuck! The mashed Yukon's were a little salty, but not near the awful amount in that sauce. Still, I would have preferred you use less of it in the spuds. We told the waitress and she said she will notify the cook. There was a salt shaker on the table. A person can always add some, but you can't subtract. This was our first dinner there, after having excellent lunches in the past.

    Have dined here a number of times over the years and always have had excellent food and service. Went for Valentine’s Day with special menu. We each ordered the prime rib - excellent. It melted in your mouth! The waitress, Brianna, was wonderful, very attentive. Couldn’t have asked for a better day

    Server was great, pot pye was amazing. Crab cakes taste delicious, and the rice was so fluffy. Also they put goat cheese in their mash potatoes- delicious. Me and my girlfriend also split a rack of lamb and man was that tasty. Everyone who works here is so nice and the food is next level tasty- 10/10 would recommend if your visiting the area- also they gave me and my girlfriend a piece of cake for our 10th anniversary!
