Had a great time at The Smith last night. Truffle arancini, burrata, and shrimp scampi were all very well balanced and service was wonderful. Thank you!

We dined at The Smith in DC twice for dinner and enjoyed it so much that we returned for lunch the next day! The food was delicious and fresh, with a menu that perfectly suits an American-style restaurant. The staff was very accommodating, and the pricing was moderately valued. We were very satisfied with every visit. Staying at the hotel across the street made it even more convenient. I only wish I had taken food photos to capture how great everything looked! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in DC from Miami!

Cool place! Very good service - we were in for brunch prior to a Caps game - lots of fellow fans there! Food was good - especially the Blue Cheese Fondue Chips :-)...nice to have bread delivered, the Goat Cheese egg omelette a little overcooked and the bacon nothing special. Nice that they include complimentary cocktails within a section of the menu and the Bloody Mary's were great! Overall, a cool vibe and easy walking distance to Capitol One Arena!

The Smith is one of my favorite places to dine while in DC. The quality of service and food is always amazing. They offer a sufficient variety for groups. Also I don’t know how you hire but you can always trust your server’s recommendation for food and drinks. At least I’ve never been steered the wrong way!
