I love the Smith! Solid menu, including some of the usual fare and some very creative dishes. Food preparation is always high quality, and the service is fast. Servers and staff are friendly and fun. The atmosphere is upbeat and vibrant, and there is plenty of people watching and lively conversation all around. Around the back are more quiet tables if you prefer. The Smith is my go-to whenever I stay in New York.

I’m a fan of The Smith but yesterday the coffee was extremely bitter and this time around service was marginal at best. Really unfortunate l, especially since I’d made a point of bringing a longtime friend (flight attendant) for a what I thought would be a nice lunch during a quick layover. The back room was not full but getting the server’s attn was a challenge yesterday.

Great food, great atmosphere. It's so much bigger inside than you'd think. We went on a Saturday after seeing a performance at Lincoln Center and even though we were early they accommodated us almost immediately even though the place was hopping.. Definitely recommend The Smith.

It would have been helpful to know that the dinner menu doesn’t start until 5pm. We were seated for our reservation at 4:30pm. What we ate was good and enjoyable but less than we intended.

Wonderful experience. Our group was short on time due to a show and the staff were super accommodating! Shoutout to Laurel for her speedy assistance and for communicating our needs with the rest of the staff. The food was also delicious! I highly recommend the calamari and arancini!

The whole experience was so pleasant and easy: Everyone I spoke to on the phone (I had to adjust our Thanksgiving reservation a couple times) was SO kind, patient, and personable; they went the extra mile. The Thanksgiving prix fixe was delicious at every point and a great value! We all felt so grateful to the staff for being there, so chill and down to earth (seemingly not stressed), even on a holiday. We had an incredible time!

Third year for Thanksgiving meal with the family. First and foremost we love The Smith's menus. The Mac n Cheese is a favorite, salmon salad, tuna tartar, etc. we have our staples. However, on Thanksgiving, the meal comes to the table luke warm. This has to get better. Like I said, three years in a row now. With that said, the turkey is decent, mashed potatos pretty good, spinach, the brussel sprouts are excellent, and the stuffing is good too ... it's just never hot. And its time to get rid of the cranberry sauce as a side. The price seemed like it went higher this year too. Last, why not a regular slice of pumpkin pie? Offer some seasonal dessert ... the chocolate mouse cake is not preferable, pumpkin cheesecake in a mug is also not preferable ... cant even remember the third choice.

We went for Thanksgiving. We waited at least ten minutes to be greeted after being sat, and after ordering everything we had our appetizers brought to the table before our drinks. The service was friendly, but not very fast or attentive. The food was bland and not worth the money.

The entire team was incredibly accommodating to our group of five for Thanksgiving dinner, which included two children under the age of six. The hostess moved tables around to provide more space for the children, and our waitress, Kayla, could NOT have been more kind and flexible throughout our visit. It was an incredible value for the three-course meal with extra sides, and we certainly left as full as one could be on Thanksgiving! Kudos!!

This is in reference to their special Thanksgiving service. It was terrific! The whole place felt very well-organized--many different staff coordinated their effort superbly. Food was very good, staff was attentive, and we did not feel rushed, despite what I am sure was absolutely booked-solid status throughout the day.

I've been to this restaurant many times, but now I think I'm done. On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving The Smith was pack with very loud families. A restaurant that is usually way too loud was completely unbearable. Add to that the fact that the menu has not changed nor have they had any specials since before Covid and I can no longer find a reason to visit again.

Food is good, Service is good. Wasn't served bread & butter as it was used to be served before (not good). Needs more servers. Noise is unbearable. Saying that I would recommend, doesn't mean that you should stay relaxed.

Very poor service. Only when we were finished eating did someone come to the table asking how everything was! The home fries were Luke warm and stale tasting, the eggs Benedict was overcooked, the coffee and tea cups were not refilled until we got up and found a waiter, and no one cleared the table when we finished and wanted dessert.

Our server was awesome but the food was subpar. Our French toast taste was off. It taste like meat so I guessed that the cooks use the same grill for the meats and French toast. It wasn’t good.
