    We went there solely for the Smith Burger. It was as expected - excellent. The appetizer and drinks/cocktails were very good.

    My boyfriend and I went there for a date night. It was my second time there and his first. He was impressed with the service and we both enjoyed our dishes. I got the Branzino and he got the ribs and enjoyed every bite.

    The server was great. Food not so much. The bread in the bread basket was cold. Burgers had too many unnecessary ingredients. Gnocchi was meh. But the sticky toffee pudding was delicious.

    The service was great! The menu was a little vague in terms of how dishes would be served, but our server answered our questions & was very friendly! Their brunch options include a specialty drink or fresh juice, which price-wise was nice! Our meal was reasonably priced, portions were a good size, and it was a cute atmosphere!

    Our server, Raul, was attentive and helpful explaining the menu. We each had the filet mignon and it was fantastic. Abundant flavor and cooked to perfection. The garlic mashed potatoes were also excellent. Ambiance is perfect for a date night or a casual get together.
