    Saw it on Check Please Bay Area. Garlic noodles, steak chicken, seafood and sides were all delicious. Try the battered corn! Didn't have dessert bc we were all stuffed!

    We had a reservation for dinner, but could not be seated across to each other at the table. After ordering our dinner , the wait for the food was 45 minutes. The macaroni and cheese was cold when delivered.

    My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Smellys. The service was excellent and we found the wait staff to be very accommodating! The food was great! I'll admit I am not a vegetable fan, but I thoroughly enjoyed the green beans!

    Disappointed to say the least went for our anniversary. We weren’t attended to by our waitress , a young male ended up having to take over for her. The food took an hour to get to us, water took twenty minutes from sitting down, that’s usually first at a restaurant. The crab legs were overcooked no exaggeration literally breaking off the crab not in a tenderly way more like sand. Garlic noodles had too much grease, my date did not enjoy her food we touched nothing ended up going through a in n out I’ll never go back ave will next time reserve bix or mastro I wasted money and time establishment is smaller than a can of sardines still tipped my waiter but with the establishment as a whole just does better we with for our money to have experience and memories with loved ones

    I was disappointed that it took almost 30 minutes to get a server, then another hour and fifteen minutes to get our food. Some people said they waited a hour and forty five minutes. Extremely disappointing and. The hostess put us at barstool seat when there was an open table. Plus we had reservations. Try to patronage black owned, but will not be back.
