About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Lively
  • 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.

    Food and drinks were good. The service was a bit off. Think the server forgot to put in an order of starter donuts that we ordered for dessert. Overall lunch and service was good.

    As always, the restaurant team was very accommodating with honoring my request for a table in a quiet part of the restaurant. The food and service was great and we had another wonderful experience. Look forward to our next great meal and experience. Thank you.

    Always enjoy The Smith. Often go for a late lunch, 2:30. It’s emptied out from the lunch crowd and is much much quieter. Food is good and attentive service.
