    Stopped in for a quick lunch after a visit to the capital building. Service wasn't great, didn't bring any milk/sugar for coffee until we asked and never checked on us. Food was ok. We had the chicken sandwich and the wedge salad which was overdressed. The location is the draw.

    The tables were pretty close together and there were lots of children playing loudly around the restaurant.

    The Service was poor.The Server didn't introduce himself,so I can't be specific. The pork chop was tough or the knife was dull.in other words hard to eat. My friend ordered a burger well done .it came out bloody . Felt pressured to tip for unattentive,slow,half hearted service and poorly executed food.

    Located close to Ford's Theater. Had tickets for Christmas Carol that night which is within walking distance from The Smith. Also, the Management accommodated a last minute change in the numbers of our party and made sure we made it to the show on time.

    Loud, chaotic, slow, unorganized. But its near the Verizon Center, so what do you expect? Food was decent and well-priced. Would I go back? No.

    I have been to The Smith many times. I have not always been pleased with the food and service, but today was exceptional. Food was very good and the service was attentive.
