    Knickerbocker is always a treat. Consistently good quality and service. Our Thanksgiving dinner was served hot! We had multiple selections and ample variety. The regular menu was suspended that night but the Porterhouse steak was available (with a supplement.) to the price fixed dinner. Always a favorite!

    This specific visit to The Smith was for Thanksgiving Dinner. There was a group of us, and the reservation needed to be modified several times, due to additions and cancellations. The staff at The Smith was so pleasant and accommodating each time I had to contact the restaurant. They could not have been nicer. And the Thanksgiving dinner was great. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Such a nice experience!
