About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Great for brunch
The Smith is a casual American brasserie with four upbeat locations in New York City: The Smith East Village, The Smith Midtown, The Smith Lincoln Square, and The Smith NoMad, as well as locations in DC and Chicago. We care about every meal and every moment. The menu features bistro classics, seasonal fare, and craft cocktails. Walk in the door and you’re in for a great time. Whether it’s date night, drinks on the town, a big birthday bash, a working lunch, a boozy brunch, or an I-don’t-want-to-cook-tonight night, we’ve got you covered.

    Bustling and spacious restaurant with a menu that appeals to all with standard and creative dishes. Friendly service, too. An overall great brunch consistent with other Manhattan locations.
