This is a solid restaurant. I've been to multiple locations and it never disappoints. Our food was delicious and the server was attentive but not annoying.

Excellent food and service. The Smith has the best salads I've eaten in a while. Interesting ingredients, and, unlike in many other restaurants, evenly mixed in. Considering the size of the place, they do a great job. We usually go there before or after a Lincoln Center performance (as do many other people). The noise level is extremely high. I suspect that brunch would be thoroughly delightful.

Great location for Lincoln Center. Ate dinner and breakfast there. Friendly staff, excellent food, and good service. Eggs Benedict was superb, and they gave us extra hollandaise when we asked. Good vibes but quite loud.

We had a wonderful time at the Smith yesterday! It was jam packed inside and out but the very gracious and kind ladies at the desk and seating us found us a nicer roomier table when we asked… the food was wonderful from the burger to the lobster roll to dessert and our server was magnificent! A really nice lady! Great experience! Never been disappointed and been here many times!

First, the Lincoln Square Smith (there are several in Manhattan) is our regular go to neighborhood restaurant. I have been a customer ever since it opened. On this occasion i made a reservation on Open Table bc i wanted a booth inside for an anniversary celebration. As always the Smith never disappoints. The service and food were outstanding. But what makes the Smith so special is the friendly hospitable and attentive staff - everyone is smiley, jovial and seems like they genuinely love their jobs. There is one reason for that - the management and credit must go to the woman who leads the team the manager, Oneaka! How lucky the Smith and all its patrons are to have someone like her running the show. She leads by example, she acknowledges everyone, stops by all the tables and has her finger on the pulse of the restaurant. She is art in motion. Thank you, Oneaka, our server that night Camryn for making an ordinary Wednesday night so memorable! Cheers 🥂j&f

This is a place worth remembering. Though it appears to be a bar, its restaurant aspect is fine. The location across the street from Lincoln Center is just right. The food choices hit the spot.
