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.

    Atmosphere feels casual but drink prices remind you that you are in New York. Food was good, nice portions. Small bar area and more of a restaurant.

    Outstanding steak sandwich and pancakes; very friendly and accommodating staff; but one of the oysters was off, and kitchen didn’t prepare eggs as requested in 2 tries. Noise is a lot for people sensitive to sound.
