Old world charm meets new world hospitality in this lovely lakeside landmark. A longtime locals favorite serving award winning classic continental cuisine with a modern flair. The restaurant, resurrected from an uncertain future in 1997 by the combined efforts of the Coppola & Bushar families, has since reclaimed its spot among the favorite dining locations in the Atlantic City area.

    Very disappointed in the tuna…..I have been there on many occasions and look forward to my tuna dinner! The tuna was tasteless and fatty!!!!! My husband also ordered it because I rave about it and he was like this isn’t what you get…..exactly my thought it was a thin piece with a dash of seaweed and tons of noodles!!! When I asked the waiter he was clueless-won’t be back anytime soon

    ‘Tis the season to gather the family and head to the Smithville Inn. The food is consistently excellent, and the festive ambiance is enhanced by seating that offers lovely views of the pond and its holiday decorations.

    Great meal is an excellent venue. Our server was terrific. It was a nice way to spend a day between Christmas and New Years. By the way, the pot roast and chicken pot pie were awesome. So perfect for a mid-Winter meal.

    Took my MIL out for a holiday lunch with 3 other family members. I was looking for a holiday decorated and classic seasonal feel and Smithville Inn did not disappoint. Meals were prime rib sandwiches, crabcake sandwhich and turkey platters, all on insert lunch menu. Excellent attention provided by Ryan our server (who to my surprise had a tie bar on his tie), checked back and took very good care of us. My MIL uses a wheelchair and easily accessed the table and restroom.
