    After making a reservation, we had to wait due to the restaurant being very crowded. Food was not bad but I found the portions to be small for the prices. The table we were seated at was very small and with the crowded space , it was difficult to maneuver our plates as we received them. The waitress was friendly but because it was so busy , she couldn’t be that attentive. Overall it was just ok, I would be on the fence unfortunately about returning here.

    Wonderful meal in a great restaurant. The service is very special. P.S. Having to confirm my existence twice(by text and by an email) is ridiculous and a waste of my time. If you want me to take the time to provide you with ratings, don't waste my time in this manner.

    The Eggs Benedict was recommended and did not disappoint. The side potatoes with onion and bacon was decadent/so good. Great place for brunch, and the weekend crowd is evidence of it.

    I've been to The Smith a few times and they never disappoint. I ordered the burger and it was delicious! My friend opted for the tomato soup (that looked awesome) and the Caesar salad with chicken. A latte and cappuccino for dessert! Service was attentive and professional. We'll definitely be back!
