    Food was was better than expected for the factory this place is given its size. Waiter was great and patient as we took a while catching up with old friends. But very expensive and deafeningly load. Pancakes and omelette, in particular, just great.

    We had to dine outside for health reasons. And even though it was pretty chilly, our servers were just great - they did everything they could to make us comfy and well-fed! And it was a bonus that we could converse much more easily in the quiet outdoor setting. A great evening overall!

    We love everything about The Smith except the noise level, which is exceedingly loud for us. Every surface in the space is hard, reflecting and amplifying the acoustic level. What you describe as “energetic” I would describe as near-deafening. Part of the pleasure of eating out is conversing with the rest of your party. It’s impossible to do that here without nearly shouting.

    Everything was perfect. The food was delicious. It was lovely to eat outside–way quieter than inside and warm enough with the heaters. The best thing was the service. We were catching up with an old, dear friend and we had a lot to talk about. We were never rushed, but the food and drinks seemed to arrive exactly when we wanted them.

    The Smith is great in several ways. It has a varied menu, a lively fun ambiance, and friendly service. In the past, we've have also thought the food was very good. This time, two us of got the salmon and both servings were very much overcooked (and also tiny). Other dishes were not as bad but were just okay. Hope this was an off-night.

    Outstanding wait staff. High quality food delivered promptly. Having gone to multiple locations for years I had one bad experience during a holiday period which, when informed, the management responded in a way that made me feel I meant something as a customer. Happy to go back and find all working like a charm again.

    Our server was amazing, very attentive, and kept our drinks flowing. They had a moderate pace in checking up which means you can enjoy your meal without being interrupted. The food came pretty quick and was delicious. Highly recommend this place. I always end up going back when I’m in the area.

    Food was delicious, service was very attentive and sensitive, as as one order of eggs arrived over cooked and was quickly replaced and even offered at no cost. The ambience is quite fun and lovely, though as the whole room is tiled, it is quite loud

    Birds kept landing on the table, coffee took over 20 minutes to arrive, poached eggs were more like boiled eggs. Generally a great brunch spot, but not this time.
