I value customer service, our waitress Diamond was fantastic. She started our night with recommendations and answered all of our questions with a smile. The food and drinks was great. This was my first time visiting The Smith in DC and I will be back.

Great ambience and good service. They bring both sparking and still water to the table which is a nice touch. It was pretty busy so the service was not very fast. The food was great and the have a wide selection of wine.

Expectations were high. It is obviously very popular with locals which led to a very high noise level and slow service. The tile floor, extremely high ceiling and loud music did not help the situation. Food was really quite good. Very nice bread and water service. All told, I'm sure they will continue to be successful with the younger crowd.

Excellent food for a Gastro pub. Great energy, a bit loud, but whatever. No biggie. Mac & cheese is ridiculous good. Pasta dishes were great.
