    I thoroughly enjoyed my Thanksgiving meal at The Smith. The food was wonderful and the staff was amazing. Even though there wasn't an empty table when we were there, the service and professionalism of the staff was exemplary. Five stars!!

    We loved that the special Thanksgiving menu offered a variety of options (turkey 3 ways, salmon, gnocchi…) and the starters were substantial & had great variety. The service was attentive & “cool”. No big upsell, but we had a wide scope of options. The noise level was comfortable on a holiday. A nice balance of family-friendly & adult dining. Huge fan. We had 3 college-aged guests & 2 adults over 50. High priority was dessert (10/10) and menu variety of options. Win win. Easy on-street parking. Courteous service.

    First time visiting and I loved it but my food was not hot. The hottest thing I had was the Mac and cheese. I think everything would’ve tasted better if it had been hot. It wasn’t ice cold but but it was lukewarm warm.. It should come out hot and I shouldn’t have to ask for it to be warmed again. To pay almost $200 for cold food is disappointing!

    Food and staff were outstanding. Menu covers a lot of ground so there's something for everyone. Go on a Wednesday to try the Duck Frites.

    Great food and very attentive service. A short wait to be seated at our reserved table. But nothing to worry about on that busy evening.

    My favorite spot of course! Though I wonder how I’ve fallen off the VG list. First time ever I didn’t get VG service so kinda bummed. Still the best.

    Food was great and the service was stellar! There was a small issue with the temperature of my steak, but it was rectified immediately by the waiter, with apologies from the chef and a visit from one of the managers to ensure all was well.

    Food was great, but service was super slow. Sat for 40 minutes before getting our raw bar appetizers. We were seated at a horrible table where servers used the space behind us to get to and from the kitchen. Got knocked into constantly. Bummer since visited from out of town.
