About this restaurant

Lively
Good for groups
Great for brunch

The Smith is a casual American brasserie with four upbeat locations in New York City: The Smith East Village, The Smith Midtown, The Smith Lincoln Square, and The Smith NoMad, as well as locations in DC and Chicago. We care about every meal and every moment. The menu features bistro classics, seasonal fare, and craft cocktails. Walk in the door and you’re in for a great time. Whether it’s date night, drinks on the town, a big birthday bash, a working lunch, a boozy brunch, or an I-don’t-want-to-cook-tonight night, we’ve got you covered.

The Smith is a perfect Brasserie and had maintained & improved it food and service over the years since it’s been open - I love that it’s open all day so you can go anytime you feel like it or need to. It’s loud but Brasserie’s are supposed to have that energy. The staff are always very kind and friendly. Thank you

A perfect place to meet up with family and friends. The food is spectacular as well as the service. They serve both sparkling and still water on every table which is a nice touch. Love the energy.

Tasty meal at The Smith, however the Gnocchi dish is quite small and my wife's steak was undercooked and it took a long time to get it cooked correctly.
