Food was delicious. Service was excellent. The outdoor dining was well space out but a little noisy for my taste. Making it hard to talk over the noise while wearing a mask.
They do a great job in Covid times! Great place.
Food was outstanding. Excellent Covid protocols. Bit cold inside though, not sure why the heat was off, but they did offer warm up blankets for $8. Large outdoor seating under a tent with heaters, but that must have been brutal for the folks and staff out there. Very good service. And best of all, the Midtown Manhattan #2 was probably the best Manhattan I have ever had!
We sat inside but it was very cold still. I had to put on my coat.
Went to celebrate a birthday with some friends, everything was great. Outdoor seating that was safe and warm... perfect!
I went out for dinner with my husband for the first time since indoor dining reopened. The whole experience was amazing. They take COVID protocols seriously, which was very reassuring. We were seated promptly by Becky who was warm and friendly and explained the menu and mask rules. Our server was Luis and he could not be more amazing. He knew everything about the menu. He gave great recommendations, anticipated our needs, and the food was hot and absolutely DELICIOUS. The Smith is consistently reliable for amazing staff and amazing food. If you’re going out to eat, I can’t recommend The Smith enough.
Excellent service, food & ambiance. Highly recommend
They’ve done a really good job at outdoor Covid winter seating.
Overall good food. Unfortunately it is winter and we ate outdoors but the outdoor heater malfunctioned and they did not have a replacement so we froze while trying to finish our meal. Having called ahead for a birthday dessert with a candle and having been told they would manage this surprise I was very annoyed that I had to ask them for the cake/candle. At this point the server returned and said no one knew about my special request. At this point, the surprise was ruined and we were freezing.
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.
