    Nice to find a place that serves past 10pm. Joe took great care of us! Love the arancini, calamari, and Bleu cheese chips! Oh and the sticky toffee Pudding!

    The food was great and our waitress Koko was very accommodating to my dietary restrictions. The kitchen amended my meal without issue and everything was perfect!

    Food was great. Beer ordered not available. Wine ordered not available. Recommended wine replacement was $70 more expensive. I expect a recommendation to be in the same ballpark and the best restaurants give it to you for the price of the one you ordered. They should have known better. If I had not asked, I would have not known until the bill came. Wine I chose a replacement was good, not great and still $20 more than my ask. No consideration provided.

    The minute you walk in the door of The Smith the high pitch noise hits you. If you want to have a conversation during dinner this is not your restaurant. The food was no more than average but the fries were good. Service was good…wait staff was attentive. Nothing more than an average restaurant

    Absolutely incredible food. We got the shrimp scampi and french dip and it was so good. The ambiance was great and there’s a cool photo booth in the basement.

    Went for lunch at The Smith when it opened at 11:30. There was already a line. The hostess got us all seated promptly. DCB our waiter quickly brought over water and greeted us. The appetizer was good, the blue cheese fondue chips. My daughter had the short rib pasta and I had the kale and quinoa salad. Both were very good. The restaurant was very busy however the staff never kept us wanting for a thing. The hostess was walking around checking on everyone. The manager was nice, helpful with our gift card. It was a very nice experience.
