About this restaurant

  • Lively

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.

    The service was HORRIBLE. We didn’t get waited on for 15 minutes, and it wasn’t our designated “server” who took our drink and food orders. We were there for our anniversary and wrote it in our notes. And it was never acknowledged. The appetizer was out before we even had water… also the waiter at the end when paying and tipping watched over my shoulder the whole time which is highly uncomfortable especially when the service was poor for a $160 meal.

    The Smith Lincoln Square is one of the restaurants that still has a local restaurant/bar feel. The food is consistently good and the service and the staff that has been there for years is exceptional! They are always personable, knowledgeable and warm. They always make you feel like they’re genuinely happy to see you again and they remember your favorite drink and food.

    Great menu with simple delicious choices. Service is usually very good and prices reasonable. Be sure to make a reservation as it does get busy especially before performances.

    Great location right across from Lincoln Center which is also a problem because when there is a show the place is packed and very noisy. Tile walls amplified every sound to an uncomfortable level. Otherwise food and service were very good.

    The baked eggs ala vodka was a disappointment. Portion was small and more sauce and perhaps some greens or potatoes were needed. The other two entrees were more successful.

    Delicious omelets and very attentive service. Only downside was that we ended up eating inside, where it tends to be very noisy.
