Atmosphere was nice
Would go back for mussels and grits
Good service, good food, pleasant atmosphere
We were seating all the way in the back section - not the nicest location. It is a very noisy restaurant. The music was overly loud and the hard surfaces reverberate the sound. To the staff's credit, they did turn down the music. I ordered shrimp and spicy grits. The flavor was great and the shrimp nicely done. However, there was far too much sauce (as tasty as it was) and far too little grits. It's a good restaurant for a casual meal.
My Server David was informative, helpful & efficient, the entire staff performs very well under the Covid-19 protocols...
Fabulous visit, as always! Highly recommend dining here any day of the week.
Perfect spot for a Sunday brunch. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the cocktails were perfect.
The servers were very friendly and helped make the evening special.
My very first time and my experience was Good loved the food and the atmosphere
New menu always aims to please!
This has been one of our go to restaurants during the pandemic and we think they do a great job and their food is always excellent!
I have never enjoyed sitting indoors - much too noisy
We were outside and there were no heaters. It was cold at times. I also thought our omelettes were just okay. It was basically just eggs with not very much cheese in it.
All
Good they are doing a great job
Great time as always!
Everything was exceptional as usual. They take all appropriate COVID measures which made us feel very comfortable.
I was disappointed with their food offering and also the ambiance. The Smith is one of my favorite restaurant but their reduced menu items for weekend brunch with windchill atmosphere in their back room was quite disappointing. I will definitely dine at this restaurant once more and hopefully they make an appropriate changes to its food offering and also temperature of the room.
I was really happy with the speed with which I was seated and given water. The outdoor seating was great—well aerated and warm, despite the cold, rainy day. The food was superb. My only complaint is that it took a while to get our food order taken and then while my friend was still finishing her meal, someone kept coming by to ask if we were done. Other than that, I was really please with the whole experience!
Great food and delicious cocktails and they seem very dedicated to keeping staff and patrons safe.
I’ve been here before covid and it was great. However, this time around, I felt like we were being rushed out of the restaurant, but I didn’t see the servers rushing anyone else. The portions were small and the pasta menu (minus the beef ragu rigatoni) lacked protein options. I ordered the butternut squash tortellini and the sauce was good but I mistakenly thought the pasta included the butternut in the dough and not inside of the tortellini, which had very little filling. My friend ordered the jalapeño grits which was good but the Mac and cheese was super plain.
Such a stress reliever ♥️
Food was Amazing
great experience, it was a bit cold because we were by the door but good time
Eating outside in a warm, safe, socially distanced table, and eating delicious food! What could be bad.
It was wonderful culinary experience which exceeded my expectations. I liked the safety protocols in place and felt very safe.
The Smith is consistently good, and it's a great option in the neighborhood. The waitstaff is friendly, and our food came out quickly.
After work hot spot. Love the veggies. Great service.
This was my first time at Smith under COVID-19 restrictions: I was very happy on how seriously their staff is taking the use of masks. Excellent service.
Went for brunch Easter Sunday and was seated indoors. It was way less crowded and hectic than outdoor seating. Staff was friendly, professional and extremely diligent in maintaining proper COVID safety protocols. The food was delicious too. I recommend the Smith Eggs Benedict.
Appreciate the free flow of water (both tap and sparkling) and outstanding service from Mario. The Kale and Quinoa salad with grilled chicken (warm!) was absolutely divine. Everybody must order a drink to truly bask in The Smith experience. Mine was The Gatsby for Easter brunch and the hibiscus drink did not disappoint! 🌺
Great food and outdoor dining atmosphere for Easter brunch
Drinks were amazing. The food was pretty good. Would go back for drinks only.
The Smith has a great atmosphere for any type of dinner. We were there for an early dinner with our family (kids), but I would go for a date night or with a group of friends. It is versatile and always delivers good food (and when needed fun drinks).
Great food and service. They are on top of following COVID guidelines.
Wonderful to be back.
I took my daughter and her friend for Easter (Saturday) Brunch at 10 30am
The market was down the block and the fountain was on at Lincoln Center.
We ordered french toast, bacon, eggs, salad, hot chocolate, OJ, and coffee.
We wore our masks when the waiters were near our table. Food was good, coffee could have come more often, and although my daughter loves dogs, I am allergic. I wish the dogs can be left at home.
Thrilled to be somewhere they take social distancing seriously so we can feel safe and comfortable enjoying our meal. Thank you to the Smith for setting such a high safety bar!
Best spot in the city
I love the place that the restaurant is, the pasta plate is too small, but the food was good.
This place is a joke. Everytime a server came to the table they would stop unless you put on your mask. Complete garbage. The chicken pot pie was also a joke.....disgusting. Dont bother.
Super nice staff, very efficient service, yummy food. We went for dinner. We had the chicken entree, the shrimp entree and the gnocchi entree. The chicken was big enough to take some home, but not the other entrees. A bit pricey but I will go there anytime I can afford it. We were in the back and the room was a bit loud.
