    We enjoy going to the Smithville Inn every Christmas season for our traditional holiday dinner. We arrive on the premises about 2 hours before the dinner reservation. We enjoy wandering through the quaint shops located around the village and watching the dancing Christmas trees located on the lake. We then head into the Inn for a wonderful meal. The Inn is so inviting and this year to our surprise they had violinists playing holiday songs. It was so nice, it added an even more special feeling to the festivities of the season. We truly love this place and are so proud to make it a tradition for our family.

    Service was great. Don't know the name of server where we were were in bar area but she was so great. Food very salty though. Chowder very salty and I had a crab omelette but the potatoes full of salt. My mistake that I realized now is that waitress asked if any dietary restrictions. I should have said that I need low sodium diet. My mistake but the menu has so many choices it's so hard to choose. Enjoy a great restaurant

    Meghan was our original waitress in the bar area and made us feel so welcome as we were celebrating a special birthday! She put a candle on her drink and then she made an easy transition to the dining room for our dinner. She is an absolutely extraordinary employee who is a keeper! She needs to be recognized for her special customer service! Thank you so much Meghan!
