About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    In all fairness it was graduation weekend at NYU and the place was overwhelmed by the nonstop rush of large tables. It was chaos inside. That being said, we were seated fifteen minutes after the reservation (our problem-we arrived a half hour early, so we had been waiting for a long time), then kept us waiting for our drinks for almost 40 minutes. Food was another half hour in coming. Staffing should have been double what it was for this busy Saturday. We had a table of ten, and spent a fortune on a meal that was pleasant despite the struggle with service, but it didn’t deliver the value for the money.

    Delicious food and atmosphere. There is no sound absorption so it’s just too loud. We couldn’t hear each other.

    Once again we had a fabulous experience at the Smith. The food was outstanding. I loved the shrimp and grits I ordered. Our server was amazing but I forgot her name. She has light blonde hair and funky glasses. She was an absolute doll. One thing I will mention is the noise level is loud. Like really loud so definitely a fun, lively place but I would not do a first date or an important biz meeting here where you’d really need to be able to hear and listen. But a great place for a delicious meal with excellent service all around!

    Great food, good selection. Something for everyone. Service is great. We had a waiter that we recognized who had been there for years. Only downside is that it’s very loud…but well worth it!!
