Restaurants near Empire State Building

Hard to find a reservation, but not to be missed! Great sized portions in family style setup provides excellent value to match the amazing Italian quality food!

It’s always a satisfying and enjoyable time at The Smith! The staff and food and ambiance, as well as food portions and value are just sublime! And always consistent. We love dining here. The Smith never disappoints! Last evening, on such a cold evening, we were greeted warmly by the maitre d’ and were given a table in the section we requested. It’s so nice—in this day where sparkling and still water are costly additives to your bill. That The Smith gives you a bottle of each for free. The cocktails are full and hardy. And the sourdough bread is fresh and delectable. My partner and I shared the Little Gem Caesar—so delicious with its toasted Parmesan crunchies and zesty dressing. He had the Smith Burger, which he greatly anticipates and it was fabulous, as always. With piles of fries, cultivated to perfection. I had the Bronzino—a huge portion of truly wonderful fish! On a bed of butternut squash, rice, almonds, scallions, and other roasted vegetables. I can’t eat spicy foods, so I had the coconut curry on the side. I enjoyed that dish so much! And took half of it home. For only $32–it is such a bargain! We live mostly in The Hamptons but have an apartment near this NoMad Smith and we can never eat like this out in the Hamptons. The Smith excels in quality, vitality, value, ambience , a kind and wonderful staff. An exemplary treat always! We’ll be back soon. Thank You The Smith!!

The food was out of this world, great location, staff are extremely friendly and polite and prices are fantastic. Can’t wait to come back and get booked in. Very clean and great atmosphere.

Food was exceptional and service flawless!!! David was our server and was very attentive but not overbearing and was also very knowledgeable about the food and its ingredients. A spot not to miss while in NYC!

The service was absolutely phenomenal, yet again! Perfect for the Holidays! The Hostesses were friendly and welcoming - they read my notes which I appreciated. Our server was the cherry on top, knowing exactly what drink I wanted without any explanation—most places, I have to describe what a Kerryoael is, but he nailed it right away. Loved that little detail. Plus, getting extra salted nuts was a fun little bonus! I’ll definitely be back again!
