Old world charm meets new world hospitality in this lovely lakeside landmark. A longtime locals favorite serving award winning classic continental cuisine with a modern flair. The restaurant, resurrected from an uncertain future in 1997 by the combined efforts of the Coppola & Bushar families, has since reclaimed its spot among the favorite dining locations in the Atlantic City area.

    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.

    We look forward to a holiday dinner at the Inn every year. Nostalgic and lovely place to dine. The food is very good but we know there are challenges when the dishes vary in cooking times. Overall we love it.

    Our lunch sandwiches came out tepid and not warm, as the French fries. While the food was very good - the sandwiches could have been a bit warmer. While we understand this is the busy season of the year, a little bit of quality control and attention can go a long way and make the customer truly enjoy the lunch experience. We look forward going back for dinner.

    Noise was terrible. I remember when there was dining in the original rooms. That was relaxing and felt like going back in time. Now it is like dining at any old restaurant.
