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.

We worked with Maddie today for the first time and she, like everyone who has worked with us at The Smith, provided great service, was very helpful with questions and guidance, and was so sweet to our kiddos. I had the soba noodle salad with chicken today, which was fabulous. As always, a perfect experience all around…Chris Jackson

Food is consistently very good (their bibimbop is a personal favorite - and the toffee pudding is incredible), service is always professional and attentive, the bar makes good drinks, and the setting is comfortable - if a bit loud (which can be good or bad depending on your audience, evening).
