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.

    Food was ok. Just ok. Nothing special. Turkey was not even hot. Gnocchi were not good. Generally it was way overpriced. Deserts were mediocre at best.

    The food and the ambiance were nice for a regular night let alone Thanksgiving. I would come back for a casual dinner for sure.

    AMAZING Thanksgiving feast…had to take a late afternoon nap! Quality and quantity were over and beyond…the addition of the Brussels sprouts and “signature Smith stuffing” were the perfect accompaniments to the main fare…just the way to spend a rainy Turkey Day with jovial and spirited service infused with holiday cheer!!! Thanks, as always, Chris Jackson

    Excellent food, great waitstaff. Love that you get still and sparkling water on the table as soon as you sit down. And we were brought bread right away, too. To balance the praise, the food took a long time to arrive after we ordered it but was excellent when it arrived. We enjoyed the roasted salmon, the burger of the day, and the Smith Steak (flat iron with green peppercorn sauce).

    The server saw it was my birthday when she checked my ID and brought me a cake and candle to blow out! It was such a little thing but it was so kind and I really appreciated it

    What a delight -- from the warm welcome we got on arrival, to super-attentive and knowledgeable service, to delicious food. The bread was so fresh and tasty, it didn't need the butter provided; the drinks were delectable, and everyone's entrees -- steak to salad to gnocchi -- were perfect. Top that off with the sticky pudding split among the four of us, just the capper we needed.
