   Came to support their last day of service at the U Street location. Enjoyed some cocktails at the bar with some light appetizers.

   Took a little while to be seated, our server was not attentive at all and I ended up cancelling my order for my drink as he still didn’t process it for 15 minutes. We were not happy at all with the food either, barely touched my sandwich (essentially a waste of money). I’d say the most decent thing we had was the mac n cheese. Unfortunately the experience impacted any future visits or recommendations.

   Food was great, crowd was lively, service was poor. My appetizer wasn't delivered, we waited at least 15 minutes to pay our bill. Server never even came back to table, we had to flag down a manager.

   Honestly one of the best brunches in the city. Mac & cheese is phenomenal, all their sandwiches are delicious, mimosas habit freshly squeezed OJ. Dining room is cute too.

   Our drinks were late and our appetizer order was completely forgotten. Our server was very kind, she just seemed a little overworked; the restaurant seemed mostly full. Our food was great; I had the Gnocchi and my wife had the salmon. It's been a while since my wife and I had eaten our entire plates at a restaurant! To the restaurant's credit, they comped our drinks for the delay and my wife and I left very satisfied with our meal.

   The salmon was one of the best meals I’ve ever devoured and my wife truly enjoyed the shrimp and grits. The wine was overpriced but acceptable. We definitely plan to return. I’ve simply gotta try the almond cookie crusted apple pie!

    I brought my best friends here for dinner on Friday. They were visiting from out of town for the weekend. They enjoyed the food immensely. They enjoyed the food so much so that we ended up going back for brunch on Sunday. We had a small glitch with the bill, but the manager sorted it out. I will definitely go back.

    Love The Smith! I’ve been to many locations in NYC and this one also did not disappoint - I love the hot potato chip app, the salads, sandwiches and pasta’s! Would recommend always- solid choice AND they take reservations!! Win!!

    Really bad service & rude staff, had to wait 30 minutes to be seated even though we had a reservation. They sat us at a table somebody else was seating right before us without cleaning it and the table was set for 2 even though I reminded them our reservation was for 4.Food was ok.

    Service was great. However, food needs some work. Honeycrisp apples were nonexistent in Honeycrisp Apple and goat cheese salad. I really don’t think there were any apples on the salad. Also, the salad was ordered without pecans due to stated allergy, and there was a small piece of a pecan in the salad which I bit into. Staff didn’t seem very concerned when it was pointed out. Manager should have apologized.

    Had previously eaten at The Smith for brunch and enjoyed it. Dinner, however, was a different story. Wife and I ordered the crispy sesame calamari, little gem caesar, ricotta gnocchi, and shrimp + grits. Calamari: dish makes sense and was tasty, but the fried calamari comes smothered in aioli which, even if the dish is dropped quickly, the calamari is already soggy and soft. Kitchen must have mistaken the garnish because the "thai basil" was actually mint. Gnocchi: easily the worst gnocchi I've ever eaten. The gnocchi itself is pan-seared to the point of being burned then the truffle cream is added on top without being tossed. The consistency of the cream was too thick, making it more of a condiment than an actual sauce. The caesar and shrimp + grits were decent, no real issues there but not on a level that would make us want to return. All in all, the meal won't have us going back to The Smith for dinner any time soon.

    I was visiting the DC area and stumbled upon this fantastic restaurant. The portions are generous. I looked at the orders going to other tables and everything looked amazing. I hope to visit the area again for another opportunity to dine here.

    Came here for brunch w my boyfriend and we got here about 10 min after our reservation and they had already texted us asking if we were on the way which I really appreciated.. Food was really good but you couldn’t hear anything from how noisy it was. Definitely not somewhere to go if you’re trying to have a conversation but the brunch and cocktail deal is one of the best in the city.

    We had a nice dinner but our food came before our drinks came and I had to remind the server about our drinks. When I ordered another drink he brought the wrong one. He didn’t charge us for it and was nice but just felt a little scattered.
