    We dined at The Smith in DC twice for dinner and enjoyed it so much that we returned for lunch the next day! The food was delicious and fresh, with a menu that perfectly suits an American-style restaurant. The staff was very accommodating, and the pricing was moderately valued. We were very satisfied with every visit. Staying at the hotel across the street made it even more convenient. I only wish I had taken food photos to capture how great everything looked! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in DC from Miami!

    Food was amazing from the chaceuterie board and bone in ribeye for two to the crème brûlée. Just incredibly tasty, well presented, and cooked to perfection. Our waiter was amazing, allowed time between courses so we could enjoy the whole experience. Highly recommend as it was one of the best meals we have ever enjoyed.
