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.

    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.

    Took my boyfriend here to meet my parents for the first time and I could not think of a better place to go! I had the best cheesy jalapeño grits ever and my go-to dish, the spicy salmon on crispy rice. My boyfriend got the gnocchi and said it was some of the best and most interesting gnocchi he’s ever had.

    Delicious food with excellent service. Vegans/vegetarians can easily make a meal from the side dishes which had unique flavors. Meat eaters will love the burger or the short rib pasta. Only downside is that it is very loud when busy.

    My husband and I had a great time at The Smith. Had their baby back ribs with creamy polenta. The ribs were so tender….and not covered with bbq sauce like other places. The sauce was different, more refined and delicious, and the meat just fell off the bone. The wine we had was fantastic and our server couldn’t have been more hospitable.

    Fine but nothing remarkable. Service a bit slow. And like all Smith locations, very loud.
