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.

    The Smith was really an unexpectedly delicious experience! Got there early and was able to sit down with my party of 4 right away. As the night went on it got packed! We ordered the oysters, ribeye, short rib pasta and rigatoni Ala vodka. None of it disappointed! Drinks were also right on point!

    Food was very good. A bit of a mixup with the cocktails. The highlight of the night was the sticky toffee pudding!!

    We wanted a nice American bistro style for a business dinner. I recommended The Smith and the team was very happy with the selection. The food was delicious and it was very energetic. Our server Maclaine (not sure of spelling) was excellent! The service was quick and efficient. I also loved the After Eight shot :)
