About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • Neighborhood gem
The Smith is a casual American brasserie with four upbeat locations in New York City: The Smith East Village, The Smith Midtown, The Smith Lincoln Square, and The Smith NoMad, as well as locations in DC and Chicago. We care about every meal and every moment. The menu features bistro classics, seasonal fare, and craft cocktails. Walk in the door and you’re in for a great time. Whether it’s date night, drinks on the town, a big birthday bash, a working lunch, a boozy brunch, or an I-don’t-want-to-cook-tonight night, we’ve got you covered.

    The food is good, fresh and plentiful. The noise level is very high, but that seems to be true of all the Smith restaurants. Our waiter was terrific. The noise level prevents it from being a fine dining experience. It’s an eatery.

    My friend and so dined at the Smith prior to going to a play. We have several food allergies and out server was able to ID best options for us and help us make delicious substitutions. Would love it if the restaurant offered more gluten free options, but pleased we were able to find some tasty bites on the existing menu. Oh and drinks were yummy!!!!

    Great service, a bit loud inside. Everyone was happy with their meal in our large party and everyone had something different. Generous portions. Could be more variety with the sides.

    Cool place. Good food, though entrees can be a bit spicy. They should indicate that. Very good service.
