The Smith

Writing this after just paying the check, before I forget, because have to shout out our server, Lily! She is amazing and honestly the best server we’ve ever had! She was so kind, sweet, amazing energy, and attended to our table very well and made sure we always had everything we needed and also gave great food recommendations! The food here was also great of course, but would also come back just because of our server! She really made our first time here a great one! Will definitely be coming back 😊

My best friend I visited The Smith for the first time yesterday and what a wonderful experience!! The restaurant is spacious, lovely, and CLEAN! Although it was fairly busy, we were seated immediately. The star of the show was our server CJ!! He was so kind and answered all the drinks + menu related questions we had. We were in between several items so we went with his suggestions for both drinks and apps & everything was DELISH!!<br><br>We will absolutely be returning & will specifically ask for CJ when we do!

Truffle gnocchi was out of this world but very little amount. Legit needed to order 2 to have a normal size meal for a grown man. Lacked sufficient sauce but ordered more and after 10 minutes got it. I added chicken milanese to it but still wasnt enough.<br><br>Truffle fries also top notch.<br><br>Order the cookie or 9 layer cake for dessert.

The Kale and Quinoa Salad + Steak is my favorite so far; you can add other proteins. I've also tried the burger and steak at other locations, but this is the one I frequent and I love its space, service, and speed. The people are very friendly and helpful, the portions are large, and I think it's an excellent option for eating.

The resteraunt is cozy and the food is fresh and very delicious. Our waiter specifically gave amazing recommendations and the service was very attentive!

Excellent little gem in the east village. I got the Mac n cheese and my son got the Smith burger with fries. Both really tasty. We had 4:45pm reservations and we seated immediately. It was not crowded and was a nice ambient atmosphere. We will definitely be back next time in that are of NYC!<br><br>Update February 2026<br>Went back again with my sisters. Food was just as amazing and the service was great. We had a reservation and were seated immediately.

Everything was delicious and our waitress was super attentive. Expect it to be loud here but worth coming for any occasion. The steaks were excellent, better than some steakhouses

This place is a gem! The vibe is great inside with candlelit tables, ambient lighting (but not too dark), good crowd who isn’t too quiet but not too loud. The staff is very kind as well! The food is amazing!!!!!! Very quality and not overly expensive. The cocktails are also very good, perfect flavor and quality. There’s a bar in the basement as well, and a cute photobooth! It captures the New York City essence perfectly. I highly recommend!

The Smith is always consistent when it comes to food and service.<br><br>We were lucky enough to get a spot st the bar the other night. However, if you are a large party best to make reservations.<br><br>The Smith Burger is the way to go if you are having a hankering for some protein.

Always a good choice to have a meal at the Smith. They have so many good options on their menu and plenty of great beers and cocktails. My French dip sandwich was excellent as were the tuna on crispy rice appetizers ! The matcha lemonade i had was super refreshing !

I was greeted with intentions and was approached as if I belonged to The Smith himself. I kid you not. I sat at the bar, and the bartender tended to me as I were his friend. I was grateful for this service because customers service is a dying art. I order the fried nugget with the jam sauce, braised short rib Malfadine, and an apple pie. I also had an old fashion. It was perfect. I was not rushed, the buss staff and front if the house staff were polite and courteous. Beautiful restaurant to grab a bite, write poetry, and unwind. 🫶🏽

Always have excellent quality, fresh food. Kale salad was delicious 😋. This location was a little noisy, but great food and service.

Great ambience and tasty food. It is a bit loud in there, could barely hear the person sitting diagonally to me. But the food was definitely great and the restaurant was clean. The seats were a bit crowded in space as well.

Our server was Thomas P and he was exceptional! He gave wonderful recommendations and was very attentive. While the food is a little pricey, the pasta was perfectly cooked and they didn’t skimp on sauce! I thoroughly enjoyed my time here, but the highlight was Thomas’s service.

Everything about The Smith was outstanding. From the warm welcome and lively yet cozy atmosphere to the flawless service, the experience was perfect from start to finish. Our waiter was the sweetest ever and felt so comfortable there. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every detail was handled with care—attentive staff, quick service, and an overall seamless dining experience. The Smith truly delivers on every level and is a must-visit in NYC.
