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.

    It was crowded when we came for lunch but, having made a reservation yesterday via open table, our hostess led us immediately to a table. The service was also very quick. The waitress came over to take our orders as we were settling in. I had hot apple cider with rum and an omelette with goat cheese. My friend had the Smith burger with fries and a martini (I think it was the expresso martini). The food was excellent and the drinks just great. The only issue we had was the check. My friend had asked for separate checks but only one check came. A minor annoyance for us, but otherwise a great experience. I would have no problem coming with my friends.

    Nous sommes venus de france pour passer Noël à New-York. Nous sommes venus le 24 décembre soir et n'avons pas été déçu.... L'ambiance, l'accueil, le service, la qualité des plats, tout était parfait. Nous recommandons sans soucis.

    Another amazing dinner at the Smith! My daughter has food allergies, and they do such an excellent job of making sure that everything is safe for her. The food and the service was excellent.

    Went with a group of 5 today, and everyone loved their food! The Smith was operating at max capacity with a line outside, and the service was still tip-top! I highly recommend this restaurant (and also highly recommend making reservations in advance). We can't wait to come back!

    Great restaurant and staff! I had brunch there recently with a large group of friends and had a wonderful experience. I’m allergic to allium and they were able to accommodate me. Would definitely recommend this location.
