   We both arrived at 5:45 for our 6:00PM reservation. We had a 7:30 curtain at the ballet. We could not get to the check in for a while because of the crowd. We checked in and were told we would be seated at 6:00PM. We were seated at 6:20 only after confiscating a freed up table and demanding to see the manager. We ate our entrees and ran for Lincoln Center. Once shame on you. Never there again for us.

   Service at entrance, bar and at table was friendly and attentive. Drinks were very good though pricey and we enjoyed our meal. My husband was happy with his duck confit and I would recommend the steak frite.

   The food was very good but we had to wait 20 minutes for our table and we had a reservation. The menu is great from both a food and drink perspective. The Bartender who served us while we were waiting for our table was friendly and efficient.

   Always love The Smith! I have celiac disease and they take such good of me here - the manager came over to assure me that the kitchen was aware and marking my meal. They make gluten-free pasta in house - it is amazing! We celiacs know how hard it is to find good gluten fee pasta. They also make great cocktails - I really recommend the MidTown Manhattan. The food and drinks arrive in good time so you can make it over to your event in Lincoln Plaza! Many thanks and looking forward to next time!

   I made dinner reservations well in advance to celebrate graduation, then I called on the morning of to add one person to the reservation. I received verbal confirmation from the employee on the phone. When we arrived, the employee at the check in counter stated that the reservation was not changed in their system. Her attitude was quite distasteful. After reiterating that I called that same morning, she said we'd be seating in just a few minutes but no more than 15. After 15 minutes, we checked with the her again - with a bad attitude she told us it should be another few minutes. Now it's been 30 minutes of standing at the door, and it was my graduation day, so at this point one of my guests tried to check in with the employee at the front again. This time, she said they are still waiting for others to leave. After 40 minutes, I went up to her again, reminded her that even if the 7th person was not added, I did have reservations for 6 made for 40 minutes ago. She then apologized and said they were cleaning up at table for us in the back. 5 minutes later we were seated. This was a special day - I graduated from law school and there was so much to celebrate. I thought this restaurant would be the right place to do so. Food was great, the waiters were fantastic, and even with the noise it was a nice environment. However, I probably won't return due to the 45 minute wait AND bad attitude at check in.

   Nice atmosphere, but food did not meet the standard I associate with NY - plentiful and tasty. Mediocre.

   Mediocre food, relatively poor service, not horribly expensive, but no value here.

    Great, friendly service, good food, and I enjoyed my drink (“Smoke show”). I ate outside, but inside was very noisy.
