Great Food and drinks. Great Service! Check-in with host can be tricky as line can get backed up quickly and patrons waiting to be seated when their group has already entered the restaurant impatiently rush to cut the line to get their temperature taken. Could use more order in that department. Perhaps cones or a physical divider / cordon of sorts.
The food was so bad. Tasteless. Completely overpriced for what it was. Don't order the ragu pasta.
Amazing as usual. Covid-19 guidelines were perfect!
The Smith has done a fantastic job executing outdoor dining. We had lunch on a rainy, chilly February day and were dry and cozy at our table. We did not even need our coats. Service was friendly and safe. The health protocols are well done. We felt very comfortable and so happy to be out for a little.
The Smith has to be one of my all time favorite NYC restaurants for the sheer memories I've had the opportunity to create there. The food is always so top-notch as well as the service. PLEASE, if you are coming here for brunch you must try the jalapeño cheddar grits. The most ridiculously delicious thing I've tasted in such a long time it's definitely worth the trip if you're coming far in Long Island or as far as Antarctica. HOLY CANNOLIS that ISH tastes like comfort food wanting to comfort you when you're already comfy enough. Our server was extremely efficient, knowledgeable and strict with COVID-19 guidelines. In order for us to be seen or served, everyone at the table must have their masks on to indicate it's OK for him to come over. This gives me the extra ease & comfort of knowing that The Smith staff is taking precautions seriously. Thank you again for serving us hungry NYers!
Love The Smith! A great neighborhood spot with consistent quality food. I love their new outdoor space. It's beautiful with good social distancing, heat lamps and lighting. A nice ambiance worth checking out if you haven't ventured into outdoor dining..
For what it was, the food was underwhelming
A great time
As usual, the experience was outstanding and the food was delicious. The day was beautiful and the place was just as we remembered it. The Smith is a regular spot for my wife and myself and we will continue to enjoy their food for years to come.
Indoor dining felt safe. Tables were spread out enough from others and filtered air.
The dining room is freezing but they’re selling blankets for 8.00. Food was ok, the menu wasn’t very good. Not enough choices.
Had an amazing time. Food and drinks were so great. I recommend cucumber loco. So so good
Terrific Covid protocols, and wonderful outdoor seating in the sunshine
It was a treat to be able to eat outside in a Covid-protected environment. The place was packed, so service wasn't as great as it could have been. For example, only one menu for two people, no one asking if our food was O.K. (one item was not), the check brought before asking about dessert and coffee (when we had previously told the waiter the dessert we wanted).
We started with the shishito peppers, which were good. Then we had the gnocchi and the tortellini, both of which were very good.
reliable food, comfortable atmosphere, good outdoor space.
Wonderful in every way!
...so great to be indoors. Felt safe and clean and the food...of course....was delicious.
Great service and food as always!
The attention to detail was outstanding and the waiters are friendly.
One of my favorite restaurants in the city! Felt super safe dining indoors
Food is excellent and location is great; service was OK.
Super nice staff and great food. Love the outside area.
Sat inside and Jesse was my server. It was very cold inside and the waitstaff were all in coats and hats. I truly felt sorry for them all. With that said, Jesse was great and my food delicious, as always. Nice to be able to dine indoors again, even if it was rather chilly with the doors open.
Waiters and food allergy attention is superb! Food is yum the restaurant is making great efforts to service everyone.
Very good food, great cocktails, good heaters in outdoor seating and spaced out plenty. I like the safety protocols they take.
Considering the pandemic and eating outside I think Smith did a great job.
I think they have the best choice for menu and ambiance in the Lincoln Center area.
Prices are not great but no restaurant is at this time. We do need to help them survive.
Perfect outdoor eating during Covid! So warm and it was was very cold out!
I love going here with my children. The small problem I had was looking around and seeing so many people without masks on. To make matters worse, our food was coming to the table so I lowered my mask, and the server had the audacity to ask me to put MY mask on. I did, and within 2 seconds took it off again to eat my food. I felt a little targeted as a "mom" like I could be the one to be made an example. Everyone should be told, not just me. Sorry, that is how I feel.
Excellent weekday lunch. Had the special lobster eggs Benedict which was made gluten free. Exceptional cappuccino. Superb service.
Food and drinks were great!
Service was amazing, everyone was so attentive, not just our server, but all staff that walked by our table.
I will definitely go back.
The good was just ok for my recent visit however I always enjoy The Smith and will continue to dine with them.
Birthday brunch
An Amazing Dinner. So glad we were able to dine inside. Looking forward to go back again.
The Smith has done a GREAT job adapting to outdoor dining. Are we all crazy to be sitting outside in the winter to eat? Yes. They've created space between tables and there's still actually an outdoor-ness to it (Unlike those thick plastic sheets that just create an indoor dining outdoors) with plenty of heat lamps to keep us warm enough. I am really grateful for their attention to detail here.
We really loved the experience. Great food and great service, quite reasonable prices and a great location.
Lots of options with the kids, can also be a great place for couples as the food is great and the wine list is short but with great options.
We are certainly coming back !
It was just a little cold inside because we were by the door but other than that, everything was amazing. would definitely come back
The Smith is one of those rare restaurants in midtown New York that are doing things right. It helps that they have ample outdoor space, but they’ve also been careful not to box the air in and still manage to maintain warmth and comfort. The food actually seems to have gotten BETTER than before the pandemic. And the staff is consistently courteous, kind and responsive. Give them a big tip if you go.
Had an amazing lunch here. Definitely will come back again soon.
My fiancé and I ordered the steamed Mussels and salads for dinner . We also ordered a Bloody Mary and a Moscow Mule . Our meals and drinks were outstanding . We can’t wait to go back soon . The staff were very friendly and accommodating.
