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.

Das Dinner war wunderbar, sehr gute Burger und Pommes. Einfach eine tolle Atmosphäre in Midtown, man fühlt sich nicht wie in einem der vielen Touristen Hotspots. Unser einziger Kritikpunkt ist, dass unsere Rechnung zweimal von der Kreditkarte abgebucht wurde. Wir haben das Restaurant sofort kontaktiert, dort hat man bis heute nicht reagiert. Das trübt unser Erlebnis im Restaurant natürlich im Nachhinein.

Went to eat at almost 3pm and the only menu was a brunch menu which had mostly breakfast items. There were 4 sandwich options one of which they were sold out of. Food was very good and the place has a great vibe but not what we were expecting that late in the day.

Awesome as always! STRONGLY recommend this for locals and those visiting NYC…the latter will really get a great sense of the NYC vibe, whether you are looking for a family-friendly environment or for a day/night out with pals in search of great food and fun cocktails from the Smith’s top shelf mixologists. They really cover all bases with some of the best and warmest service in town (hold the unwarrantedly rude NYC attitude, please!). Just go and see for yourself - you will not be disappointed…CJ

Nice place. Good brunch menu. Nice personnel. As usual il the US it’s not practical to have prices not reflecting the real cost (tax / tips added at he éd).
