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.

    We made a reservation and were promptly seated, although the restaurant was quite busy. Our waiter, Justin R., had great drink and food suggestions. The service and food were both top notch. Will definitely return.

    Steak with fries and spinach was great, lovely waiter. Perfect to have dinner here before going to the ballet across the street. Would definitely recommend.

    The Smith is the perfect restaurant for tapas or Dinner before a performance at any of the Lincoln Center venues. Be sure to make reservations! It’s very crowded from 4:30 until show times approx 7:00 to 8:00 pm. The cocktail and wine choices were thoughtful and well executed. We did a “tapas” style tasting of smothered potato chips, truffles arancini (rice balls) and calamari. We did salad as main courses. Very fresh and tasty. Service was a bit slow due to how full the restaurant was. Our waitress was very attentive, however. We would definitely go back next time we have a Lincoln Center show

    Wait staff are attentive & well trained.. The noise factor could be better for a more enjoyable ambiance.. But as always, a good place to eat. Cocktails were also good.

    I rarely review restaurants but I must share this experience which I have never had in York City—the best! I’d made a lunch with my daughter and granddaughter before seeing thenNutcracker. On the way to the restaurant, my daughter had an accident—she bumped into a pillar at the Times Square station and broke off her 2 front teeth. Naturally, we were all upset. As soon as we arrived at the Smith, the entire staff was amazing. They seated us immediately inside, brought my daughter an ice pack and Advil, and were so comforting. Special kudos to Justin, our server , who even researched an emergency dentist. He brought us dessert and said that entire meal was on the house! As a native New Yorker, I was so surprised and touched to the bottom of my heart. Kindness still exists in this crazy world and in New York City which can get such a bad rap. The food was great. The Smith is now our go to restaurant in Lincoln Square. Thank you so much to everyone at the Smith!

    I brought my 6 and 8 year old grandkids. The children’s menu was very welcome, and they enjoyed their food and hot chocolate. My goat cheese omelet was delicious. Pancakes were good, but small portion in adult menu. Wait staff was lovely and attentive.
