    Each time I go to this restaurant service seems to be lacking. Each time someone comes to check on the table it is a new waiter and I can never seem to get someone’s attention when I do need something. Usually it is busy when I go so it’s understandable, but my last visit we were one of only a handful of tables inside and still did not have great service

    We had an awesome brunch. We had an excellent server who was very attentive. My only wish was that they would have been able to make their delicious gnocchi- which I absolutely love! I realize it’s not on their brunch menu but I love it. We are from Miami and enjoy the Smith in DC and NYC - and this is what I love to eat there. We love the Smith.
