Whelp, I wanted to try this place and I really wanted to like it considering where it’s situated and the reviews I had seen. It failed me. The food was a solid no. My wife and I shared a pecan and pear salad. The pear was so hard I couldn’t cut through it. I had the Chilean sea bass and shrimp special and my wife had the crab cakes entree. The only thing special about my Chilean sea bass was how cold the meat was when it finally came out. The fish was overloaded with sauce and I found at least four pieces of shrimp shell that were not removed. The crab cakes were lukewarm and apparently were voted best in the area, but I can tell you that’s not what we received. I recently purchased some from Wegman’s and they were 10x better than what we paid $34 for at Smithfield Station. The restaurant had seated a 20-person table right before us which caused major delays on dinner coming out. The waitress did a great job letting us know this after we had ordered and waited a bit. If the restaurant knows a group this size is coming, they need to be more prepared. Overall, just a flop of a dining experience.

Food and service were fine. Noise level was very loud and made it hard to converse with across the table.

We went on Valentine’s Day for a 7:30 pm reservation. Honestly we have low expectations on holidays. They were 100% on top of their game! We were seated promptly even though reception area was packed. The staff did a great job. Our wait times for beverages, appetizers and entrees were very reasonable. Also seafood platters did not disappoint. They did a great job managing a very busy holiday dinner. Reservations are a must for holidays. Love the Open Table app.

Lori, we're absolutely thrilled to hear that we exceeded your expectations on Valentine’s Day! It makes us so happy that you enjoyed our seafood platters and found the service to be efficient despite the busy atmosphere. Your kind words about our staff truly mean a lot to us. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another lovely dinner in the future. Yours in hospitality, Smithfield Station

We arrived to a lobby full of folks waiting on tables. The manager and front desk person were scrambling to make things happen and the bar was the only place left to wait. Sadly we had to keep reminding the staff that we were in the bar waiting, and after the third reminder we were told that we finally had a table, 45 minutes after our reservation. Our server was very good, but the appetizer was not impressive and came out with the meal, which was tasty but nothing to write home about. Overall, it was an okay experience but not the intimate quieter dining we had hoped for, and the staff was overtasked and flustered by the immense crowd.

Had another wonderful meal at Smithfield Station. Really appreciated that they held our reservation open for 30 minutes while we were stuck in traffic. That’s great customer service!

My sister and I had Valentines Day dinner. We ordered the crab egg rolls for a starter and at $14.00 it was very scimpy. We both had the shrimp tacos and key lime pie for desert. I had two old fashioned drinks and I don’t know what the cost will be until the bill comes. It’s different every time, it seems it just what the current bartender wants to charge.
Smithfield StationResponded today
Hi Sharon, we're truly sorry to hear that your Valentine's Day dinner didn't live up to your expectations. It's important for us to provide value with our dishes, and we regret that the crab egg rolls felt skimpy. If you could share more about all these at cliff.hall[at]smithfieldstation.com, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to reach out; we're eager to address your concerns and improve in any way we can.

Great food and service. It was our first time visiting and we were first taken to an area without a view, but we asked if we could sit in area near water and waitress accommodated us with what appeared to be best seat in the house without hesitation.

Reservation was for Thanksgiving at 5. They seated us at 4:30. Broiled seafood meals were excellent. Thanksgiving meal would have been only ho-hum with its disappointing cold-cut-like turkey breast, but it was redeemed with a generous portion of wonderful, distinctively salty Smithfield ham.
