   The music was extremely loud and we could not hear each other. It is a sports venue and the Knicks were playing to clutch a championship. The Yankees and Mets were playing, big sports crowd. Music should have been brought outside where people were hanging out and NOT there for sports

   What a great experience.. 20 people, not one complaint... Managment was polite, professional, and promt.... Bartender was amiable, informative, and never seemed rushed, no matter how busy it got.... Waitress did a very good job,, Food was spectacular, and even better , considering the cost.. The wine was surprisingly good, and on Par with any of the higher $$ places around the area.... The biggest compliment anyone can give, is that we will definelty go back!! Thank you Bull Smiths for a great nigth

   Blonde Waitress was amazing. But 2.5 hour wait for FOOD Unacceptable….Yes it’s Mother’s Day, but kitchen obviously was running extremely behind. Not sure if will try again… sorry!

   Thank you for the kind words about your server—we’re so glad she made a great impression! That said, we completely understand your frustration with the wait time and sincerely apologize for the delay. Mother’s Day brought in more volume than expected, and we’re working on ways to better prepare for high-traffic days. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try.

   Place was popping. Very loud & busy. Took hour to get food to table after ordered. Drinks were good though. Service could have been better… but understandably busy. Will be back…

   Great time, happy I was able to meet with John Starks, one of my favorite Knicks of all time.

    We went to Bull Smith Tavern to eat and watch sports on their big TV’s. . The food is good but could be better. The service was good. We had Michelle who we knew from another restaurant. I think the selection of food could be better.
