    The ambiance, service, food were ALL GOOD, the Pricing is Ridiculous though, I paid $18.95 for a tiny shot size cocktail and $55 for oxtails, unfortunately neither was worth the cost.

    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!
