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.

    Good solid brunch selection at a fair price. Go for the side salad (excellent!) with the sandwiches unless you must have the fries.

    The food is terrible. All the tables are crammed together with no space for your meals. We sat in a table of four and we shared two entrees (the French dip) that had no flavor whatsoever and 4 drinks didn’t fit on the table. Server took our order and never came back to check in on us once. Waste of a lunch spot on our trip to NYC. Terrible service, food sucked, and was in a crammed space. Not coming back or recommending to anyone.

    One of our favorite restaurants in NYC. The food and service is always GREAT! Worth it to stop in for breakfast/brunch/dinner. I highly recommend the Smith Lincoln Square. Our "go to" any day of the week.

    Service was awesome. The food was great. Noise level, even for NYC, was at times very annoying. We had a very loud man at the next table who had no idea how loud and bombastic he was. The restaurant could do more with a professional sound engineer to mitigate the noise.

    First time at the Smith and was pleasantly surprised with a delicious meal. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and the food was served fairly promptly. If I had one complaint, I would say that the tables in the back room are a bit squished.

    I always enjoy my meal at The Smith. On this visit I was catching up with friends I hadn’t seen in a long time and our kind server was very patient with us taking time to order then sitting longer than we should have after our meal and I thank him for that kindness on top of a great dining experience.
