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.

    We were sat 10 minutes after our reservation as we watched other 2 tops walk in and get sat immediately, then you had to physically move the tables to get to the seats. Portions were small for a $40 pasta with hardly any meat. Service was ok once you got done with the host stand ignoring you, but the waiter was never around. Way too loud to even hear the waiter or the person sitting across from you. We didn’t even know we were supposed to get sliced bread until it came out with our entrees as the people who were just sat were greeted with it. Not worth the wait or the money.

    This location is always busy so that’s no excuse. Food was not cooked to correct temperature and was served luke warm. My drink came halfway through my eating my entree. Overall could’ve been better.

    The place has a lot of energy and feels festive. The branzino was just fantastic! Calamari and arancino balls were great starters. I really love the place.

    Our pre-theater dinner was extraordinary. The staff from the moment we entered through dessert was magnificent. The food was even beyond our expectations. Of course, we had the famous potato chips which were quite a hit. The salmon tartare was so well prepared and melts in your mouth ( there is a crunch too). We also had a kale and quinoa salad, tomato soup , bibimbap and lots of other delicious food. Make sure to make a reservation .. the place was packed and yet the staff was incredibly attentive. I would give it ten stars if I could.

    Food and service was just awesome, as usual. Tried the Branzino, which was new on the menu, and it was outrageous. Tasty, little spicy, absolutely delicious. As was the little gem ceaser and the spicy salmon tartar app. Don't miss the sticky toffee pudding.
