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.

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.

Food was delicious as always. There were several large parties there and it was very noisy. I asked the hostess to move us and she did. Very accommodating. But it was still pretty noisy. But offset by the good food!

It was so noisy. We couldn’t hear the conversation. It’s a bustle restaurant I get it, but it was just a little too noisy for me.I’ll

The servers at the Smith are amazing. My mother has a shrimp allergy and they handled it so well. Every time I go there I’m super impressed with the staff. One of my favorite spots.
