As always, the service and food were excellent! The menu is consistent and all menu items are delicious. Desserts are solid and shareable. We can’t come here enough, especially during the off-season - so lucky to live just 3 blocks away.

About the restaurant

Old world charm meets new world hospitality in this lovely lakeside landmark. A longtime locals favorite serving award winning classic continental cuisine with a modern flair. The restaurant, resurrected from an uncertain future in 1997 by the combined efforts of the Coppola & Bushar families, has since reclaimed its spot among the favorite dining locations in the Atlantic City area.

We enjoy going to the Smithville Inn every Christmas season for our traditional holiday dinner. We arrive on the premises about 2 hours before the dinner reservation. We enjoy wandering through the quaint shops located around the village and watching the dancing Christmas trees located on the lake. We then head into the Inn for a wonderful meal. The Inn is so inviting and this year to our surprise they had violinists playing holiday songs. It was so nice, it added an even more special feeling to the festivities of the season. We truly love this place and are so proud to make it a tradition for our family.
