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.

    A couple of friends went out for dinner on Saturday night and the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff welcoming us was nice. The special cocktails were delicious, and everyone's entree was excellent. I would highly recommend coming to the Smithville Inn for any occasion.

    Smithville is one of my favorite places to go. The smithville inn is beautiful! I have been here many times before. This trip, was for Valentine’s Day. They had a vegetarian option that was out of this world! The service, drinks, food and pricing were all top notch. Go if you have opportunity.
