    Enjoyed the scallop/pomegranite special and crab cake. Perfection! Lovely meld of flavors. Hubby really enjoyed his JUICY, flavorful burger. Topped it off with delicious creme brûlée. Irish Coffee needed a little more HEAT. VIEW was spectacular with the rain falling on the ice. First time to New York from Dallas TX and this was a top Fiver!

    Overall great experience. Went here for the prefix on vday. The ceasar salad was very yummy not too much dressing but the perfect amount. We also got the crispy oysters which were very flavorful. The entrees were the star of the show. I got the chicken and my boyfriend got the bolognese. I’ve never had a chicken so juicy and so much flavor. Definitely one of the better chickens I’ve had. The bolognese my boyfriend liked, but said my entree was better. We both got the smores for dessert and it was very flavorful. It’s a cute, quaint spot on the UES and highly recommend.

    The Smith is an outstanding restaurant with a warm atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a friendly smile and seated promptly. Our waiter, Andrew, was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. He made fantastic recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The food was flavorful and beautifully presented, making for an unforgettable dining experience. If you’re looking for a place with great food and top-notch service, The Smith is a must-visit!
