   Food and atmosphere are both excellent at The Smith in all the locations I’ve tried. Service at the Nomad location was good, but not as exemplary as usual. Server was extremely overwhelmed, mostly with running back and forth to the bar, which seems rather far away for the servers, with little assistance. Given it was a busy Saturday night it is understandable. Would definitely recommend.

   When we first sat down (at the wobbly back corner table)we were given water, sparkling and flat. we get menus and sit, our waiter comes over introduced himself said some other things my table didn't understand(it was loud). and we order drinks. we see other tables with bread.. we have nothing just water.so we ask a waitress (we cant find out waiter) if we can get bread she says yes and walked somewhere. minutes go by out waiter is back with our drinks we order appetizers, one was the shrimp cocktail $44. it came on a plate with ice.. and a small small about of sauce. my table was thrown off on why it wasn't in a glass like most picture. we sent it back we weren't a fan. we had told a waitress ( we couldn’t get out waiters attention ) she take the food back. and when he comes with the bread and last appetizer, we left him know we sent the cocktail back and wanted to make sure it wouldn’t be on the bill. he said “ well nobody told me anything.. let me find out” thats sorted. we order main dishes everything is running smoothly. we are ready for more drinks. so workers comes and take the empty glasses. but we cant find out waiter to order more. we ordered with a waitress and she says okay. but doesn't but the other in until she gets our waiter which is 5/10 minutes later. By this point we have our main course but no drinks HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??!lol. So we see our drinks sitting at the bar waiting to be taken to us. we had told get a waitress attention to being the drinks, she did. Now we start dinner. OVERALL the experience was decent, maybe they need more employees on a friday night because our waiter did have a-lot of tables in his section. i'm not sure if id come based off my experience however the food was delicious and the drinks were amazing on taste and strongness. we are a group of minorities so maybe this was the reason for our odd experience. for 5 people 2 appetizers, 2 drinks each, and a main dish our total was $419( just for those wondering)

   The Smith is a busy, bustling restaurant - at least on the wknd! The noise level was not quiet but you can easily hear your table conversation. The food is delicious & the staff is friendly and attentive. The veggie burger is a great option for non-meat eaters. YUM! Enjoyed the experience. Recommended!
