The food is overpriced for the quality of the meal. It was extremely hot in the restaurant. My friend and I were sweating profusely throughout the entire meal.

the smith never misses

The food and service were excellent. The location is great. The outdoor space felt unventilated because of all the hard plastic partitions. It was an unusually hot day, so maybe at lower temperatures, it would not feel so close.
Have been to The Smith many times and would definitely return!

Everything was great but inside there seemed to be next to no air conditioning. Friday nite was hot and humid (5pm), inside was hotter than outside.

Went for an early Father's Day brunch - food was great

Had the pancakes for brunch and they were delicious! I love the combination of lemon and blueberries. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive.

Cool and joyful. Very good service and delicious food.

The server was barely present and never checked on us. My burger didn’t come with what I requested but couldn’t ever find our waiter to have it corrected. He came after the meal to ask about dessert and we promptly asked for the check. He disappeared yet again and someone else had to come and take it. Won’t be returning.

Graduation

We came back to The Smith with the COVID fewer tables and plexiglass which made this otherwise too crowded, too noisy eatery comfortable. But I was told by our server that they will probably jam the place again to get in more tables. So goodbye Smith, it was nice.

The food was great, the drinks were delicious, and the service was incredible!

Very nice lunch experience. We were seated right away at 145 pm.

I hate the fancy ketchup you serve. Please bring back Heinz!

Food was delicious and service was excellent. One person in our group has serious food allergies; the waiter and kitchen were very responsive and make her feel very safe - very appreciated! Thank you!

Graduation Dinner. We love the Smith. Food is consistently delicious!!!

Our server was amazing! His recommendations were totally to my expectations.

Really enjoyed the food, service and outdoor seating arrangement. Food was fresh and tasty, and service was spot on. Always a nice meal at the Smith. Great location at Lincoln Center.

The food was really excellent. Squid ink tagliatelle with seafood and their famous burger. The ambience, however, was horrible. They said "private dining room". Looked like a prison cafeteria. Perhaps sitting out front is the thing to do. It was just damp and chilly that night.

The food is excellent, the prices appropriate for the neighborhood, service attentive but not intrusive. The only downside to this restaurant is that, if you are looking forward to conversation with your dinner partner, you might have to speak louder and listen harder than in a place with a quieter ambiance.

I was asked at reservation was this a special occasion. Yes it was however the waiter was not aware. That was disappointing. The mussels were on the bland side. .

A nice energetic space for a late Sunday brunch - excellent service

It's a nice sport for brunch when you are in the area. The burger are perfect. Enjoy

Love this restaurant! Come here every time I am in NYC.

Great dinner- the Smith never disappoints. Something for everyone in a friendly atmosphere. The shrimp and grits and chips with bleu were amazing! Great cocktails too with excellent service.

The server was very nice and also the rest of the staff. The food was delicious and was quick didn’t have to wait too long.

Nice and good was good

Graduation lunch

A good time, as always! A fun vibe, great food, and excellent cocktails.

If it weren't so loud in the outdoor seating I'd have been happier but the veggie burger was surprisingly great, the oysters were delicious, the shishitos great, nice beer and drinks selection, fine service.

I took some clients/friends here for dinner post-pandemic, was hoping it was as good as it had been before.

Really great! Make a rez-this placed gets jammed quickly. Because it is really good. I made my rez like a month in advance for an outdoor table.

I had one of the non-alcoholic ginger beer drinks- so good I had another. The burger was perfect, great fries. One of us had salmon and he loved it. We all had dessert- some toffee pudding, sorbets and an ice cream sundae.

We had a blast and the food was fantastic. Really hardworking servers too- make sure you tip well- they deserve it.

The food was excellent. One of the best veggie burgers around. Everyone at our table enjoyed their food.

Lunch with a friend at The Smith. I had a grilled chicken sandwich. She had a hamburger. Both very good. Not rushed. Great service.

Way too hot to sit on outside patio. No air flow

Great! Outdoor dining should remain in effect forever!

Perfection from start to finish! An nyc gem!

Returning late from an outing on an exceedingly hot day/night, and hungry and thrilled that THE SMITH is open both “early and late” for a meal we would enjoy consuming anytime.

The six of us loved the place and most definitely be coming back. Amazing service and delicious food!

Much too noisy. The tuna tartare, the tuna was mushy.
Will not go back

We sat outdoors in the enclosure that was built for outdoor dining during COVID-19 restrictions. It was 90 degrees outside and the plexiglass surrounding the enclosure was restricting any airflow. It was like a sauna inside. It made eating very uncomfortable, not to mention the toll it took on the waitstaff. I don’t know how they didn’t suffer heatstroke.
If they want to continue to use that space all summer they need to either remove the plexiglass barriers or install fans to circulate the air for everyone’s comfort and safety.

The food was mediocre and the noise level was off the charts but other than that, it was an ok experience.
