About this restaurant

  • 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.

    Food is great, as always. Service was quite slow and had to remind them to bring things.

    The hostess and wait staff were extremely friendly and accommodating! I let them know I was on a time schedule, and wanted to be out at a specific time, and that schedule was met without compromising quality.

    This was our first time here. The noise level was completely unacceptable. Ruined our dinner experience. We had to shout across our table. We left without having coffee or dessert and couldn’t finish our wine it was so loud.

    The pastas that we ordered were on the salty side. Other than that, everything was delicious. service was very attentive too. We were a large group (16 people) and everyone had a great time. Also, was very happy that we were able to order ala carte from the menu instead of being stuck with a prefixe menu.

    It was noisy and crowded - but they did their best to give us a quieter table and also to get us fed and out within an hour so we could get to the theater on time. The food was great.
