The Smith - Midtown

When you first step foot in The Smith, your first reaction will be 'WHOA!' It's sheer size and number of people it seats is amazing. If you're looking for a quiet romantic Sunday Brunch spot, this isn't the place for you. But if you don't mind sharing a delicious meal with a couple hundred of your soon-to-be closest friends, you'll love The Smith.\n\nDiverse selection of brunch entrees (at a very reasonable price), coupled with a complimentary brunch beverage, make The Smith a great value!

Excellent food - we enjoyed every minute. We were in from out of town - on a weekend away just the two of us. The macaroni and cheese was some of the best we have ever had. My husband had the chicken pot pie and I had the grilled marinated shrimp and both were fantastic. For dessert with had the S'mores in a jar and it was delicious! A great dining experience!

Food and service was great. Waited for a very small table for 5 people 45 minutes after our reservation time. Luckily we only ordered salads; nothing else would have fit on the table. Very loud. Impossible to hold a conversation with the whole table.

Outstanding! Service was great, food was excellent, can't say enough good things. The only thing (which is very minor) was that we had a relatively small circular table, so during the meal it was a bit cluttered. But, even still -- I would come back 100 times. \n3 people, full entrees, a shared appetizer, and we all had drinks for $130.00 before tip. That's incredible for Manhattan. \nP.S., get the homemade potato chips; delicious.

Always a great experience. Lovely staff and nice food.

Definitely worth a visit....great oysters, mussels were fantastic, and the squid ink tagliatelle was wonderfully good. The reds section of the wine list could be greatly improved, but they did have a 20 yr taylor fladgate, always nice after an excellent meal.

The hostess at the front desk was very rude. We were a group of 3 with a reservation. There was a very small table near the front that they would not seat us at because they said it was for five. Unless they were serving kids in 6th grade I don't see how they could fit 5 adults at this table. Finally the manager intervened and told the hostess to seat us at the table. Why should something so simple and logical be so difficult?

Excellent breakfast, big portions. Good value for NYC

I love restaurants and one of my favorite things about going to New York is trying new restaurants. It's really hard to find a mediocre restaurant in New York but lo and behold that's really what this is, in my opinion. I texted ahead to see when breakfast was served until and I was told 'around '11:30 AM. First of all I feel that's unwelcoming - it should be a set time. The complementary cheddar cheese biscuits that were served when we sat down were cold - OK not the worst thing in the world, but the cheddar cheese was congealed over them. That's yucky. Our server was fantastic. Shining star who had worked there for eight years - I don't remember her name but long blonde hair and was from Buffalo New York . The woman who was busing our table seemed inexperienced, because she kept trying to take stuff away. She wasn't busy and took it out on us! We had to keep stopping her - it was so annoying! My friend and I ordered the egg white omelette. Half the plate was spring greens. The other half was this enormous, bright white... they must have microwaved it because nothing was browned. Looked like half of a UFO with big clumps of goat cheese and giant pieces of spinach inside. It was just OK - tasted OK\n- but I did not like that it was probably cooked in the microwave. Some of the egg whites were not fully cooked. The spring greens were huge pieces. Very unappetizing. Organic whole-grain toast was excellent. Butter and jam were excellent. The other complaint is the water that The Smith house purifies - is a new trend I dislike even when it's done well - was pretty gross in old looking open bottles - and had particles floating around. I'd rather have New York City tapwater - actually delicious !

GOOD FOOD NICE PLACE SERVIVE COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE FASTER

Food was on the salty side, which it usually is not. Back room was crowded and too warm due to lack of windows, warm night, and how many people were in the back. Will still go back, and hope this was just a fluke in the many times I've been to The Smith.

Great atmosphere. Delicious food. Great menu. \n\nHighly recommend.

Absolutely perfect location for a business lunch, or meal with friends. The kale quinoa salad is incredible!

It was really good. I thought it might be something like mid-quatlity restaurant, but it was something special. 10/10 to food,whole restaurant and especially service. Thank you again.

First time to this restaurant in Manhattan. Excellent food. Something for everyone. If your coming to NYC for the first time, this is a great spot before you go out and find more adventurous food.

The Smith never disappoints! The food, service and atmosphere is great and ALWAYS a good choice!

Fantastic food and great drinks. The atmosphere is lively however it was very loud. Not a place for a romantic date as conversation is difficult. Good service and tasty food.

Been here a few times unfortunately this time was disappointing. Service was very slow and food was mediocre, that being said I have had a few good meals here

One of my favorite brunch spots in the city. The toughest decision is choosing sweet or savory because everything I've tried so far is great!

This was a great find. We have been to NYC several times, but have never eaten here. The food was really good, but not fast. I would definitely go again. FYI - If you have a large group that needs tickets separated, our waiter said that they couldn't do it.

the food was far from perfect. Nothing was cooked right especially the French toast. It was so undercooked you could actually pull on the gooey dough. The mushroom omelette was disgusting. All the palettes looked like airplane food. The mac and cheese was horrible and burnt. I saw other tables around me and they didn't finish their food either. The food overall was very disappointing. The bar was set up nice so I believe it might be better for a bar visit. I would recommend friends to this place for the ambience but I would never go back myself.

I loved this place! The food was awesome, the ambiance energetic and delicious cocktails.

Had brunch here with a friend. Fun place with very long wait. Food was delicious and well worth it. Will return on my next trip.

The Smith came highly recommended and didn't disappoint! Great food, great service, great time!

Our waiter was great. Nice guy who really improved our dining experience. The food was excellent. Fun place !

This was a decent meal at a good value for lunch. It was extraordinarily noisy, so do not pick for a meal when you really want to speak to your companion.

Friends visiting

Colleen our server was stellar! Sweet and on top of everything! Jonathan the manager went out of his way to make sure the photo booth was working for us. All around impressed with the staff and the food and the vibe of the place! I'll be back!

Adriana our server and Jayce the manager were both fantastic. The food was outstanding. I've eaten in all 4 NYC locations and the quality and service are top notch in all locations.

The Smith is a very solid 'go to' restaurant for business or just friends getting together. Should be something for everyone on the menu, and the service is always prompt and friendly.

As usually the smith never fails to satisfy. It is always a go to spot

The Smith is my girlfriend's favorite restaurant. While I'm not as high on it, I do still really enjoy it. The desserts are all great. Dinner was good, but nothing special. \n\nPersonally I enjoy the brunch menu more, but you really can't go wrong visiting any of the Smith's locations for brunch, a sit down lunch, or dinner.

Great place for date night or everyday dining. A little on the pricier side but always a great meal. Long waits so make a reservation!

We had business guests from the UK - first visit to NYC and we chose The Smith for lunch given the menu options. Everyone chose different dishes and everyone raved about their selection - high praise to the kitchen staff for the consistency in delivering great meals from beef to seafood to Italian. Our waiter was wonderful - he was so attentive and gracious to every table. He treated the food allergy we had shared via Open Table with the utmost concern and care. We would go back to The Smith and I will look at the receipt for the waiter's name to ask for his section.

The Smith has alway been a favorite for me. Its my go to for an easy date night dinner or a great meet up with friends.

The food was mediocre, fried green beans were not good at all. The tomatoe soup was my absolute favorite. \nI had a shrimp pasta dish with black noodles, the noodles were overwhelming and I did not care for them. \nThe porkchop was so strong in rosemary it was not as enjoyable.

Much as we have a national bird, the chicken pot pie should be our National Pot Pie. If you order it, sit at the end of the table to keep prying fingers away from that cheddar biscuit topping.......\n\nAnd sticky toffee pudding, where have you been all my life?

Good and solid resto

Food is good however on more than one occasion with a reservation we were made to wait quite awhile. Told to go to the bar. Last time we just left after waiting past our reservation time. If you have nothing else to do and want to listen to other people's conversations because you have to raise your voice to be heard by your partner or just listen to others bragging about themselves. Very crowded and loud Not going back

the smith is one of my favorite brunch spots! i went this time with a group of friends. i got the potato waffle benedict and my husband got the sicilian baked eggs -- both delicious. we went on a sunday and you get a free drink with your entree! however, the waitress dropped one of the drinks and it spilled all over my friend's bag. but not only did my friend get a replacement and an extra drink for free... someone from management came over to our table -- she was very apologetic and said that if my friend wanted to get the bag dry-cleaned, they'd cover the cost! i always recommend the smith to friends and will definitely be going back (soon, hopefully).

The food is consistently great...... I live a block away for the last 9 months..... I have hearing loss so it's hard for me to hear in this very loud environment and I still keep going back due to the great service and consistently great food at a very reasonable price.

A nice restaurant clearly very popular with the locals -- a reservation is recommended during busy times. My omelette was good but not great. But the side of brussel sprouts and the coffee were fantastic. I would give it a second chance and order a different entree.

Great food.\nFood came out before our drinks, and without asking, our hostess put our drinks on the house. \nReally enjoyed the venue too.

Great place. Place was busy at 8pm on a Friday. Luckily, we reserved thru OpenTable and was seated immediately. Had the calamari (fantastic!) and then had the steak (also fantastic)! Our waitress was awesome - very attentive even with it being quite busy. Would go back next time I'm in town.

My husband and I went for an early brunch. I was really disappointed not to see the potato waffle benedict on the menu (one of my all-time favorite brunch dishes) but at least it forced me to order something different. I went with the truffled local mushroom toast -- it was good, but in my opinion, it was a little expensive for what it was. I still think that The Smith is a solid brunch place.

Great spot, but we had a reservation and still had to wait 20 minutes for a table.

They didn't have the table we requested ready for us and so that was disappointing other than that service and food were on point.

My staple to the Manhattan food scene, the Smith consistently has good food and service.

Emily, our lovely server, was friendly, professional and patient with us. The food was very good and there was something for everyone on the menu.

Very noisy. Because there are so many tables, service can be slow.

Very satisfied! Celebrate my anniversary with the boyfriend, both ordered the burger royale... yum! I ordered mine without cheese (lactose intolerant) as well as the '50/50' sauce on the side. Boyfriend got the works. I don't know why people say the fries aren't good... i polished those bad boys off! Overall a great experience and will definitely be back, maybe for brunch?!

Great place for brunch on the weekends. Very creative menu.

I'm torn with my review because while the service was outstanding and food was delicious, the restaurant is very cramped and loud. It was hard to hear my friend who sat just across the table from me. I'm sure there really isn't any time when this restaurant is extremely crowded. I don't think I'd go back to this restaurant due to the how loud it was, but we did have a nice meal.

I really enjoyed my meal but it didn't stay with me very long. I got sick within 30 minutes and it completely ruined my experience or any chance of me returning

Fanatastic food and service! Can't wait to go back

One of our party order Filet Mignon. It came out too rare. After sending it back it still wasn't cooked properly. They took it off the bill and gave him a new steak to take Home.

The Smith is perfect for any occasion. Service is usually always on par. Food, value, ambience is great.

I asked for a nice table to celebrate my friends promotion and got nothing of the sort. Service was slow. Food was mediocre.

The staff is fantastic. They really go out of their way to make you feel special

food was very good, service friendly and prompt., over-all very good dining experience

As usual, great. Very nice black pasta, pot of mussels (lot of mussels), chips and fries and delicious desserts. Impeccable service. The reasons that always bring me back.

The Smith, at its various locations, is our go-to spot for Brunch when in NYC. The 2nd avenue location is noisy but the food and the drinks are great and the service was also good. It's definitely for a younger crowd but they don't mind us boomers showing up.

Highly recommend the Avocado Toast and Shishito Peppers. Cocktails are great all around.

Great food. A little noisy and unisex bathroom were downsides. Overall, a nice find.

Good food, but very loud! Excellent flavors that you might not think would go together but do.

This place was PACKED at 11 am on a Sunday when we arrived for our reservation. One person from our party wasn't there yet, so we had to wait in the bustling bar with the walk-ins until she arrived before we could be seated. When I got a text that she was going to be an additional 20 minutes late, I talked to the hostess asking what we should do - should we move on to another spot because we'd lose our reservation? Or keep waiting? They sat the 3 out of 4 of us right away instead of letting us lose our reservation. Service like that makes all the difference in the world to me! They could have easily sat any of the walk-in parties and made up for the money they'd lose by letting us walk out the door, but they chose to honor our reservation instead. From there, we went on to have some of the best avocado toast and other brunch plates I've had anywhere. A quintessential New York spot, also great for fashionable people watching (though, we were dressed down casual and felt 100% comfortable, too).

One of our favorites in our neighborhood and come back time and time again for the great service and food.

I never know why the staff insists on everyone from the group being present before you can sit at the table. If I reserve the place at 11 I expect I could sit down at 11. Right? Anyway, from there on it was a very good experience. We had a small friends - get - together, so there were 4 of us. The sitting was comfortable and the table spacious enough. The food was very, very good at least mine- I had Sicilian baked eggs. Perfectly done, great taste. The only problem was that they don't serve white bread, but the server was nice enough to bring me a piece of white baguette. \n\nThe place is rather big, has a certain industrial/hospital feel to it, so it is rather loud. It was packed the entire time, so something must be right. I would definitely recommend this place for a weekend brunch.

Reliable menu with a variety of options. Great brunch place -- not if you're looking for quiet romantic.

Our food was delicious. 2 inch thick French toast, great twist on eggs Benedict, strong coffee. They accommodated our food allergies. I would go back in a heart beat.

Our waitress (Alexia) was wonderful. The food was good and the restaurant itself is decorated nicely. It was a good place to go for a brunch.

The food was phenomenal and the service was amazing! We ordered their mac & cheese skillet which was cheese heaven. Our waiter was so sociable and attentive to what we needed. The birthday cake dessert really topped the whole night off and made it the perfect place to go for a birthday dinner! I definitely plan on returning again soon!

went at 9:30 AM on a saturday with reservations. probably didn't need them but i always make them when i can! service was quick. love the in-house made sparkling water. food was incredible. definitely would recommend!

Like west side much better noise level too high here but good food & convenient to grand central/midtown.

The food all sounded amazing and we got a burger and some oysters.. tasted so good. Must come back

Picked it for a get together for business colleagues so it wasn't exactly business but not exactly a group of friends and it worked out fine. Noise level was a bit higher than we would have liked. Food was good. Lots of selections. Reasonable prices.

First time at The Smith for dinner on a weeknight. Food and service were fine. Noise level quite energetic - a little difficult to hear conversation at our table. Would not recommend for a quiet date. \n\nPros: Mac & Cheese was yummy and the Fried chicken was a winner. \nCons: Noise level, dessert not a hit

The food is undeniably good - hearty, delicious and good value. But they are more and more frequently becoming victims of their own success and the staff is just not enough for the volume of people they attract. The waiting time on my last meal was absolutely dismal. We had to waive and shout 5-6 times before anyone would come over to give us a menu, when we tried to order or ask for the bill. Just frustrating!

I go to The Smith quite frequently for working breakfasts, always for same reasons: delicious food, impeccable service.

While I've had many good meals at the various locations around town, I've never had breakfast there (as opposed to brunch). Avocado toast is one of my favorite breakfast dishes that I often make at home. Theirs is served on two large slices of wholegrain bread with cold avocado smeared topped with two poached eggs and frisee. Unfortunately the coldness of the avocado transfers to the egg . At home, my remedy is to heat the avocado for a few seconds in the microwave to avoid cold eggs. The portion size is too big for something billed as lighter fare. what would be better is a half portion served with some fruit on the side. I will be back for bibimbop next time I'm in NYC.

Really enjoyed our girls brunch here this weekend. We were in the area for the women's march and even though we were over 20 minutes late for our res, the staff was very understanding and still sat us right away. Great burger -- one of the best I've had.

staff was so accommodating and really kind. Food was delicious and drinks were great

Food was really good. Service was okay and it was pretty noisy.

Very good food and service - particularly since it was very crowded due to the Women's March. The salad dressing was delicious and applied in perfect proportion to the salad itself - loved, loved the salad! Sampled the fries too which were delicious. Generous portions and excellent food quality.

Great American staple but creative tastes, not boring

Excellent food, Mac and cheese was the best!

Wow! My husband and I couldn't believe our fortune in finding this gem on our last trip to NYC. It is clearly a popular spot as it was packed on a snowy Saturday morning. (Thank goodness for OpenTable!) The portions were generous- I enjoyed the Baked Sicilian Eggs- and the tastes were on point with everything scratch-made. Our service was friendly and efficient. Our only regret was that we didn't have time to go one more time while we were in town!

food is just fair. They give you still and sparkling water complimentary which keeps cost down. good for business meal.

Food is always consistenly good. There was some confusion about getting us seated and we ended up waiting a bit longer but the team made it right with a complimentary appetizer and wonderful service.

Awesome food and great quick service.

Great looking restaurant, fun to go with friends, could improve food, and service.

Very noisy. Food was fair. We couldn't even talk. One of the noisiest restaurants I've ever been in. Good for young people.

Had a nice brunch.

The food and drinks were delicious! Charlie was an outstanding server!

Excellent comfort food and good value in interesting 2nd Ave Midtown East spot. Lots of people watching opportunities....

This restaurant is great. However it was super loud. I went to dinner with a colleague and felt like I had to yell in order to be heard

Very accommodating management and staff. Excellent fresh food choices that changes with the seasons.

I like very much going to The Smith for working breakfasts. Always nice food, reliable service, very good coffee. Without the noise of other times of the day.

The candied bacon and the home fries were to die for. It was very cold inside.

great food, but seating is way too tight, worth giving up a few tables to make your guest more compfortable......\nmake a reservation as well, got right in.

Very good brunch. Definitely get a reservation even with one took us 15 min to get sit. To much noise..... very loud. Don't go there hung over like We did .

Went here for a sunday brunch, it was so delicious we got there around 9am and by 10:30 it was packed. The food and the service was great though we really enjoyed it.

The Mac n Cheese was delicious as were the Brussel sprouts. Salmon was cooked well but nothing too exciting. Girlfriend's loved the burger and the steak with garlic butter. The S'Mores dessert was really good! It is fairly loud in the restaurant.

Our reservation was honored and service was excellent. Brunch was great and included a cocktail. Have been there for dinner as well. Will definitely return.

Great place, great food. Gets noisy if you are wanting to have a quiet place for conversation. Would recommend as an upbeat place with great food. Ordered coffee at the end of dinner and it was not fresh.

Always love the smith. Solid and consistent food and service. Everything I've had I've always enjoyed from the burgers to the pasta. Highly recommend.

Best breakfast I've ever had! Great atmosphere and food, but crowded (people and tables) and loud.

Been here a few times. The food is phenomenal. Had the Smith steak so tender and perfectly cooked almost melted in my mouth. Our server was extremely pleasant efficient and super friendly. Overall great experience from the moment we stepped foot inside being greeted hello and upon leaving with a thank you have a good evening. Staff is on point thank you Smith for doing it right!

Amazing pancakes

its better on the outside than the inside- ie its a cool place, atmosphere is trendy but not over the top, however the food doesn't shine. stick with the basics- the daily specials.

Good appetizers. Homemade potato chips with blue cheese sauce yummy as was the mac and cheese. I wouldn't recommend the Burger Royal bc it was disappointing as it resembled fast food versus a bistro burger. Also wouldn't recommended the Brussels sprout salad that had a mediocre flavor. Reviews of salmon and steak were average fare.

Excellent as always. Very busy but they honoured the res.

Always a great place to eat!!

Nicd food. Nice atmosphere. We had space enough. There was some light. The good was good.

This is the third time I have arrived at the Smith for dinner and had my reservation pushed back by 15-30 minutes. They need to figure out how to manage seatings and reservations. Food is good but pretty basic bistro fare without any over the top or memorable flavors. Restaurant gets VERY crowded and loud. You can barely hear yourself in it, so avoid if noise is an issue or concern for you. I'll come back but just because I know it is reliable and consistent.

Once again it was an absolutely delicious brunch at the Smith:) definitely one of my favorite places to eat!

We had to wait over 30 mins to be seated.

The team at The Smith was great, paying special attention to the people with allergies in our group. We each got very different dishes and every one was delicious. The sticky toffee pudding was amazing!

Impeccable service! Great ambiance! Exquisite specials!

Tis was my first experience here. The noise level is a little loud . I ordered the grilled shrimp entree. It was plated very well and had lots of flavor. My Husband ordered burger Royale and enjoyed it. The fries were done perfectly and not greasy. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. Over all we had a great dining experience.

the Smiths are essentially American Brasseries - handsome, relaxed, cool. \nThe food is uneven - the table had a brunch toast with eggs and bacon which was excellent, a burger which was decent and a chicken sandwich which was not quite the right side of mediocre.\nBut as a go-to place for for a casual meal they are an attractive choice

We arrived 15 min before it reservation and ultimately had to wait 30 minutes past our reservation to be seated. This isn't the first time I've experienced this at The Smith and they should take fewer reservations in order to accommodate people close to their reserved time.

We reserved on OpenTable.com. Arrived w/ a party of 5 reserved and they sat us immediately. The food was comfort, yummy and delicious. The large portions made us all happy on that rainy day. 5 min from E subway to MET of Art. Such a lovely time. Thank you The Smith

Great service, Good food, this location is perfect for work groups

We love going for the Sunday brunch, but have eaten here other times as well. The food is quite good and the place has a nice atmosphere. We'll be back.

Ate here for brunch on New Years date. We had a 12:15pm reservation and were seated promptly. Place was packed yet they handled everything seamlessly. Our service, Brittney, was terrific. Did a great job on what had to be one of their busiest brunch days of the year.

Went for a Sunday brunch and so glad we did - great food (I got the classic eggs benedict), great drinks (LOVED the barnstormer) and great atmosphere! Would definitely recommend to others.

Authentic Midtown haunt for foodies looking for a relaxed atmosphere.

Great food, great service! Very interesting and creative menu.

Great weekend brunch in a lively, popular place. Book in advance!

New Year's Eve early seating was festive and well-staffed. Things moved smoothly and the food was very good. Big nights really show what kind of operation exists! Perfect!

I've been here 6 times and this is the only time service was slow. It took over 30 minutes to get coffee and about an hour to get our food. I left an overall good review because it is a good establishment but the service could be improved.

The Smith was a friendly and busy restaurant with a great atmosphere. There was a buzz about the place and the service was efficient. The portion sizes were generous and the staff were attentive. Even though the place was very busy it was an enjoyable place to be.

Consistently good food.

waitress preoccupied with chatting with co workers, rather unattentive \ncould not get her attention to tell her the steak was rare rather than medium

As always the food was great service was great

Awesome place. Great food, excellent service, great value.

Was a fantastic experience, great food, great service. Felt away from the crowds but great energy.

Food was great & really fast.

Really great food and service. Had two tired kids with us and that was completely fine with the rest of the clientele and atmosphere. It was pretty loud, so I wouldn't consider this a romantic place or a good place for a business dinner if you want quality conversation. Overall, really awesome.

The Smith is an energetic Midtown restaurant with the benefit of solid culinary options. We were there recently and received prompt, efficient service and good food. There was a fried chicken special that evening that several of the group enjoyed, truly innovative and flavorful,; while a few of us went with the always reliable steaks, properly cooked. I usually make the Smith a stop when in the City, and would recommend to others, with the one note that it is a busy, bustling location and not for those looking for a quiet corner table experience.

Tomato soup was expensive and disappointing but otherwise we had a very solid meal at the Smith.

A really good vibe to this place. Everyone left feeling they had a good meal and better than expected. Value seemed reasonable. Busy place lots of fans. We liked it.

Brunch is awesome! Try the special eggs Benedict or the egg blt. Great for breakfast lunch or dinner

We made reservations for 4 so that we could stick to our schedule for our 1 day/night in the city. I would definitely wait for a table here if I had a week in NYC and time to kill. \n\nRegardless of the reservation we still were not sat until 15 minutes later. However food and service were great once seated. Maybe you can't predict how long guests will sit for breakfast but the restaurant should not have that many openings available on open table if there is going to be a wait... on open table they appeared to be wide open while we stood there with 5 other groups waiting to be sat. \n\nBLT+E was amazing without the Aoli. The ranchero dish was amazing, all the best ingredients went into creating the meals. Coffee was good and server was attentive. \n\nWill definitely recommend to others.

Solid basic food, but nothing too adventurous. Excellent service and welcoming atmosphere.

I go regularly and it's always great. Can't get over the roasted tomato soup!! It's just too good!! \n\nThanks

Bad service

This is one of my favorite places to eat. This was my first time going to this location. I have been to one the one downtown. I love the atmosphere and the food. It's like so delicious. The Cesar salad was incredible and so was the mac and cheese! Tons of food!

After a very aloof greeting upon arrival (always good to feel welcome so this was noted), we were taken to our table of 9 and fortunately met with a fantastic member of the wait staff who provided brilliant service from start to finish. We were a large party (9) for brunch and our various drinks and food orders were somehow kept straight and everything flowed to the table with ease and good humour. The food itself was scrumptious. We had booked in for brunch on a cold December morn, and we came with huge appetites and all left satisfied and full. Given the prices in nyc, we were not even horrified at the cost. The coffee was INCREDIBLE, and worth stopping in for a cuppa if you in the area. It was a special family weekend together, and our feast at The Smith was a welcome part of it. Would definitely recommend and look forward to returning.

A little bit overpriced. Had to wait even with reservation ahead of time.

Great food, always. Great with kids and so accommodating.

Great place for our Christmas eve dinner. Cocktails were perfect and food delicious

We had a very nice meal here on Christmas Eve. I had been there for lunch and for drinks before. Service was great at bar and at tables. Mac & Cheese starter was yummy. Steaks & short ribs were very good.

Great Christmas Eve brunch with family. Food was amazing, waiters were attentive, great value

Waitress was very nice and accommodating .\nAll of our meals were quite enjoyable.

Great breakfast! Fresh juice, good drinks, good selection of food. Loved the cheddar biscuits to start! Large, open place, pretty full but didn't feel crowded.

Great spot for brunch. The baked eggs are a must! Just about everything here is great, you can't go wrong. Large space if you are coming with a group.

Good food and service with nice ambience but loud

This has become one of my favorite places to eat. This time I convinced myself to order something besides the Mac & Cheese so I ordered the gnocchi. It was fabulous & quite different from the normal gnocchi. My friend also ordered it & loved it as much as I did. I also ordered a watermelon salad that was absolutely fabulous! I could have licked my bowl! The watermelon salad may be a seasonal thing but I hope not. I hope I can always get it. Our waitress was not very attentive. Once we had to ask a waiter to find her to get our check. Someone else brought it. Then, she never appeared to pick it up. I gave it to another waiter. Did she leave? We didn't see her as we went to the restroom so maybe she did. Not sure but the food is so good, I will definitely return!!!

The restaurant itself was excellent but upon arriving at the time of our reservation, we were told that it was for 1:30 pm and not 12:45 pm. Thankfully, I had my OpenTable confirmation to prove that it was 12:45 pm. The host seemed confused as to how that could happen, and told us he would find us a table. After waiting 10 minutes, I approached him again. This time, he told us it would be 8-10 minutes. No apology for any inconvenience (we waited 20 minutes and this was a business lunch), no thank you for our patience. In fairness to him, it was packed but I won't rush back if that's how they handle reservation problems.

Loud, indifferent food, good service once we were finally seated after a long wait

Always dependable. For some reason, their oysters are always great. Burgers are very good. Loud and boisterous always.

I had high hopes based on other reviews, but was sorely disappointed.

It's just the noise. I love everything else. Conversation levels are exacerbated by music/electronica. Best to go on off hours.

We had an awful couple cursing and load sitting next to us while I had my wife and 11 yr old daughter sitting with me. Told management they apologized but said nothing to them.

Fun atmosphere, good food. We liked it. The braised pork was particularly good.

Far exceeded expectations for Thanksgiving. Same Smith experience with a great holiday atmosphere.

Overall good, loud as expected but good nonetheless

Ambiance is suited to 30s and under crowd but I'm in my 50s and enjoyed it for brunch, now twice. I love that you get a drink included with your egg dish and the blood mary's are spicy! Recently treated my godchild and her boyfriend and they both nearly licked their plates clean. Another fun touch is serving some menu items in an iron skillet. We will keep going there but you really must make a reservation for brunch.

The Smith was mentioned as a good place to take our granddaughter for dinner, close to our hotel and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed our fried green bean appetizer as well as the caesar salad, and all of us loved our entrees (noodles w/ butter sauce, burger, and chicken pot pie. Then we shared the S'mores In A Jar for dessert which was just delightful. Good choice of wine, beer and cocktails too.

No matter the location, The Smith is consistently great. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. Noise wise, it's definitely loud but I found it to be fun and not disruptive. \n\nThere are photo booths in the bathrooms at all locations. Great way to make a memory of the evening.

The food was excellent. The alcohol options seemed to be priced higher than competitors in the area which led to a bit of sticker shock when the bill arrived.

The food was great but the restaurant was so busy that the service was slower than we would have liked. The food came out in a timely manner but the waiter had so many tables to attend to, that we were waiting for our check for a while. We were also stuck in a dimly lit corner of the restaurant, so if I were to recommend a request it would be to specify in your reservation where you'd like to be seated. Great avocado and mushroom toasts though-- a good place for brunch in midtown

Asked for a quieter table--they seated us at a small table at the back of the restaurant, exactly what we'd hoped for! Really appreciated.

Fabulous prime burger. Cooked just right

Great food and atmosphere. Need larger tables.

Very attentive service, great burgers and pot pie.

Wonderful Chicken Pot Pie. Worth going there just for that. Also was told the seared tuna salad was excellent. Took clients for a Holiday lunch and everyone enjoyed it. We felt a little rushed by the staff but we understood that there were trying to turn tables during this busy time. .

it's a cool place and I had a really good time there but it's nothing spectacular.

Too much pepper in each of the different entrees

You must try the cauliflower! All of the food was delicious--incredibly flavorful. The waiters were really wonderful, even with some fussy kids in tow.

The food was incredible. Some old favorites given a new twist. Our group of four thoroughly enjoyed our dinner after a day of seeing the Christmas sights.

Great place! We got there almost 30 minutes early and they were able to accommodate us early--very unexpected since the lobby was crowded with people waiting. The ONLY negative thing I would say was that the furniture was a bit out of shape. The table wobbled badly and felt loose, and the chairs were not comfortable. Also the chiars were wobbly and the legs felt weak and wobbly. \nService was great, the menu has a wide variety of vey interesting items, some standards (eggs benedict, french toast), and some very unique items (Sicilian baked eggs, truffle mushroom toast, steak with bernaise and eggs with 'potato waffles,' which were the tastiest and most interesting things on earth! Most breakfast plates came with a drink--anything from OJ, to a bellini, bloody mary, or several other fancy cocktails. \nIt's a huge place so its not quiet, but it was fine for a social group to have a great brunch. Dont go there for an intimate meal in quiet! \nOverall, all 4 people in my group lived it. We'd all go back!!

Went here for breakfast and liked it so much, returned for dinner a few days later. Relaxed but cool vibe and reasonably priced (compared to other nearby places) decent honest grub.

Came in for Saturday brunch. Packed lobby so glad we made a reservation. Service and food well worth it. Reasonably priced as well. Great value and great location.

Horrible service. Be prepared to wait forever for your food and then ask repeatedly for it.

Great brunch location. Even with reservations, be ready to wait a bit before being seated.

I dream of the avocado toast!

Fast service, great food! Family friendly but young atmosphere. \n\nWood definitely recommend!

Servers were lost and the food was average. Going down hill.

Great restaurant and food. Dinner tables in bar area were too small and space was crowded from bar patrons. Would've preferred table away from bar. We've been for brunch another time and we're seated in a different area, which was a better experience.

Food is bangin, cocktails too

Great food and atmosphere

Good brunch menue. Unique menue. Very good. A bit noisy but not too bad. Very good service too.

Best place for food !!!!

The mac and cheese was amazing. The roasted tomato soup was also great but our entrees included grilled chicken sandwiches and they were average, if that.

Perfect for breakfast or brunch. After 10 am it gets packed.

It is very loud inside, so if you want to dine you need to speak loudly to have a conversation. Also, the tables are so close together that you can literally rub elbows with the person next to you. The table had to be completely pulled out to get the person in the booth. There's tight seating and then this. I didn't plan to dine with strangers at my table. With all the options in NYC. I would not go here again.

Food is good but we felt rushed! Busboys were taking our plates even when there's some more food in it. It was annoying. I had to chase one busboy to tell him we were not done with pur brussel sprouts.

Great food esp. Mac and cheese, pressed chicken and Brussels Sprouts. Awesome service too

Thanksgiving Dinner was amazing!

Have walked by the Smith before, great vibe, but noise level always too high, needed a late dinner Sunday night, still jamming, but crowd included parents and children, noise level moderate, food was terrific! Will be returning soon!

Came for thanksgiving meal with a reservation and was seated quickly but then the waiting began. Food came out cold with a lot of time in between and we were never never brought stuffing for the table. Additionally we came as the day turned to night and the lighting was being adjusted constantly. Ambiance seemed better suited for a large group of friends or just a regular meal. \n\nFood was okay but I've had better prix fix thanksgiving meals.

Went with 2 girlfriends for Thanksgiving dinner. The appetizers were great, but it was all downhill from there. The mains were flavourless, tired and disappointing. The best thing was the mac & cheese, but even then it wasn't anything to write home about. The desserts were boring and not well executed. Will not be returning here!

This place was highly recommended; however if you are trying to catch up with friends this may not be the place to go.....very noisy and hard to here. Food was good but again it was really loud.

Breakfast. Delicious. The Jalapeño Grits were outstanding. Our server was extremely accommodating.

Very good meal but it was quite noisy so I wouldn't expect to have intimate conversations

Great Food! We were visiting from Kansas City and loved the vibe, the local food and the service.

Good classic brunch! Free cocktail on Sundays when you order a brunch dish. It is really loud (so many people) and there is a long wait (if you don't have a reservation). Overall, a good place to meet friends for a bite to eat

Love this place! Has become our 'go to' regular eatery

Met an old friend for dinner. Great wine list by the glass with lots of variety. Service was knowledgable and professional but not rushed. Everything was delicious - meatballs, Brussels sprouts flatbread, spicy salmon, cavatappi with short ribs. It was comfort food with a twist. Only complaint is the slightly too bright lighting and incredibly noisy space. Not a problem but be forewarned that there's a large unisex bathroom with individual stalls and a shared long sink. I'd definitely go back because the food was delicious and the atmosphere was lively since it was constantly packed with a diverse mix of people.

Mostly 30-something crowd with excellent food and service. Noise level near bar is high but a table near the back enabled us to hear each other. Will return!

Our experience was wonderful! Our server Stacey did an exceptional job and all the staff from food runners to hosts were very friendly and attentive. \nThe food was delicious. Our table shared the Monkey Bread, Mac & Cheese and the Potato Chips with Blue cheese fondu, all of which we loved. My personal favorite brunch entree was the Short Rib Hash, but the BLT&E was great too.

Good food. VERY poor service

Nice, but no view out to the street, all windows frosted.

Very loud, but also very good. We only had apps & salads, but we enjoyed them. The tuna tartare was delish and the calamari, really spicy. I had the chopped salad for my meal and it was also good. We glanced around at other plates and everything looked great. Will def go back again.

Fun place to meet a friend for dinner and drinks! Got the crab cake tater tots to start - delicious snack! Burger and tuna steak salad were both very good. We enjoy the vibe of the many Smith locations - recommend for small groups as it can be loud so hard to have conversation with too many people at your table.

Amazing food---mac n cheese, burger, potato chips with blue chees and French fries. All were delicious. A bit loud but a large open venue.

Staying in town for the Thanksgiving weekend, we were looking for a restaurant for a holiday dinner. The courses were excellent! A good choice with good value. I be happy to come again! Thanks!

The waitress took 20 min to approach and give menus although she saw us sitting. She was rude and inattentive, it was a Friday morning and it wasn't busy. The food was excellent and so healthy. I had blt croissant and it was awesome, the French toast is huge and delish

More than average quality food. Very attentive staff. Fair value for money relationship. Went twicw in a week. Recommended.

The home fries were delicious and flavorful. The cheesey grits in the short ribs hash was amazing.

This was a great experience for our 11 person family holiday get together meal. Everyone loved their meal, which is unusual. The food was absolutely delicious, and the attitude of the manager toward our large party was enthusiastic and wonderful!

The night did not start off great- water glasses on our table had lipstick stains on them and our server was run off her feet-apps were good-barely had time to eat them- then our meal was served. Entrees were disappointing-chicken pot pie had no chicken in it and top was not cooked. Cod was too fishy and left a bad taste in our mouth. Was really looking forward to this meal but was disappointed.

The portion sizes are really good, food is well presented but the eggs dont really come warm. The place is huge, so don't expect a cozy and romantic environment. Also, the ratio of waiters-customers is pretty low. Overall, price/value relationship is good.

Upon arrival, they sat my party of three at what felt like a child size table that couldn't fit two plates on it, if that. I asked to be moved, which they obliged. \nThe noise level was ridiculous and the restaurant was cold.

We had lunch before going to see the Rockettes. It was perfect!

The Smith was recommended by a good friend who works in Manhattan. We thoroughly enjoyed the fixed Thanksgiving day menu. It was full of seasonal, organic and regional sourced ingredients. It was simply and perfectly prepared and was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the handcrafted cocktails. The special '1621' cocktail was fantastic. Our service was impeccable and friendly and the environment was warm, casual and comfortable. The entire meal and experience was great.

Brought my daughter on her 16th birthday for breakfast. Perfect before our big day began. Food was fantastic!!

Great place to come for lunch. They were busy, so it took awhile to get service, but the food and drinks were delicious. Great comfort food. You have to get the house-made chips!

Candied bacon was glorious. Delicious french toast, eggs and even our finucky preschooler liked the kids plain waffle.

Had brunch at the Smith today for my daughters birthday. Server was very friendly and professional.\nFood was delicious!!!

We had our Thanksgiving dinner at The Smith this year. In the past we've had sub-par experiences with pre-fixe holiday meals, so had relatively low expectations, but I'm pleased to say The Smith wowed on all accounts.\n\nWe were seated promptly at our reserved time, our waitress was friendly and attentive, and the food was excellent. \n\nThanks so much - we'll be back!

Always great service and amazing food! Keep up with the great job! Thank you!

Reliable spot for a reasonably priced steak. Super noisy and always crowded. Good place to go for a fast round with a mixed group. Not the spot for conversation.

The quality and selection of the Thanksgiving menu exceeded our expectations. It was creative and tasty, and varied enough to satisfy all palates. I would recommend it to my family and friends.

Excellent dinner on a special occasion. Lots of families having a great time. Delicious sides and entrées. Impressive service with team bringing the whole dinner at one time. Teamwork! Will return on a future NYC visit.

Went here for Thanksgiving with family and loved absolutely every single dish. From the cornbread to the kale salad, grilled shrimp and all the Thanksgiving fixings--I cannot wait to come here again! Simply divine.

Awesome Thanksgiving menu. Food amazing!

Thanksgiving dinner was excellent. Everything we had was prepared perfectly. Our waiter Chris was outstanding. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good American style meal.

Very Good Food but noisy -- unless you go off hours. Restaurant honored our request for a quiet table in a booth in the back; nevertheless, you can't escape the loud music and soundproofing is nonexistent. If you go for an early breakfast or in the mid afternoon it is usually a very pleasant dining experience. Understandable though as to why it is crowded since the food is unusually interesting and always good.

The food was wonderful but the place was too noisy couldn't hear anyone at my table. The table was small and cramped!

Good very good but the whole restaurant is very noisy, you need to yell to keep a conversation , however the staff accommodated us in the least noisy booth at the back but still it's too much

Great food, service, and decor. Noise level was debilitating.

Very loud and too bright.

We always try to dine here when visiting Manhattan - good food with quite a few choices. We love the fried green beans. It is a very noisy restaurant with quick service. We were a little disappointed that we had a 20 minute wait for our table. Salmon and grilled shrimp were very good. Didn't love being charged $11 for a plate of broccoli that we assumed was just a vegetable substitution, not a side.

I've been to this location many, many times. Unfortunately, my most recent visit wasn't as memorable. While the service was as lovely as ever, the food was a let down -- my grits were served cold, the Brussels sprouts didn't come out with the rest of our food, the French toast was soggy and flavorless. I'm going to chalk this up to an off-day for the chef, as I otherwise always enjoy the menu options for brunch (the scramble pot-pie being a favorite).

A friend and I decided to skip the Halloween festivities and head out for dinner and drinks instead. She had always wanted to try The Smith and since I had previously dined I knew it would be a great experience. Turns out -- we were right! We had a great time and since the staff dressed up we didn't miss out on the festivities after all!

Exceptional customer service here. Our table wasn't ready but they were way ahead of that, providing cocktails and sending apps when table was available. Food always great at The Smith and always a fun night out.

Always a good time, as long as a reservation has been made. Always a bit loud, especially if it's been a late night. Know that portions are large and tasty.

The Mac and Cheese was amazing!

My sister has the Avocado Toast, which evidently was a special that was so popular it was recently updated to the menu, and I had the Potato Waffle Eggs Benedict (delicious!). Food came out quickly and so did our drinks. They serve sparkling and flat water right when you sit down. Great service. Overall great restaurant! Can't wait to go back.

I came to The Smith for Sunday brunch with five other people, two of whom were visiting from Spain and spoke little English. We had a wonderful time!\n\nFirst, my thanks and compliments need to go out to our waitress and several of the bus boys. Our waitress translated the entire menu for them and when she was stuck a few times, grabbed two bus boys to help her. They never rushed my friends, even though the restaurant was absolutely PACKED. The waitress even happily made accommodations for my friend who has dietary restrictions and had to order kind of off the menu. \n\nThe food was very tasty, with a few unfortunate misses. The Candied Bacon Scones were super delicious and not overly sweet, which was nice. The Hot Potato Chips with blue cheese fondue were really good when they came out hot, but got a little gooey when they started to cool down, which was our fault that we let them sit there for a while. The Smoked Salmon Benedict was good, but nothing extraordinary. The Breakfast Pot Pie had a weird 'crust,' but the gravy was peppery and delicious. The Mediterranean Salad was absolutely not worth the $16 price tag. The BLT+E Sandwich was something I would come back every single day for. It. Was. Heavenly. \n\nWord to the wise, make a reservation if you want to come here for brunch. The hostess was turning people away left and right the entire time we were there. \n\nAll in all, I would definitely come back for a fun, leisurely brunch.

Had a great time as always, but the food took a very long time to come out. Also it was SUPER noisy. Usually I have zero complaints, but because it took so long to get the food and the fact that the eggs in my eggs Benedict were watery, was a tad disappointing. Will still be coming back, but have had better experiences here before.

Great for brunch!

Home cooking at Haute Cuisine prices. Well executed but overpriced considering the oat of ingredients.

I was here for a business meeting at lunch time. Not only was the food great, but the noise level was perfect to discuss business. I would recommend The Smith to my business associates.

Very good. Food was hot and good. Very cool place to visit for dinner in New York.

went to The Smith with my mother and sister for brunch to cap off a weekend of celebration of our milestone birthdays. This place did not disappoint. The food choices were plentiful and there was something great for each of us. I am glad we got a table in the back as it was a bit loud but with a fun place and a great vibe it was all good. Definitely would head there for brunch again but be sure to make a reservation.

Although the food was great, me and my boyfriend could not wait to finish dinner and leave. We have never been to a restaurant as loud as The Smith. Perhaps it's cultural, i know Americans have a tendency to be loud, like...very loud! 😊

Atmosphere was good, food was good for brunch or lunch. Not too many choices for dinner.

We loved it- great service- food was delicious. Fun atmosphere. Very busy: New Years Day. Would definitely go again

Great food and atmosphere. Always reliable. The Mac and cheese is amazing!

We had just arrived to NYC for a first time visit and someone recommended this place. The food was outstanding and if we ever visit NYC again we will surely go again.

Great menu and service, but can be very loud and noisy, especially when the dining room is full. Plenty of draft beers to pick from. Lot of choices for starter, salads and sandwiches.

Took my director there for a business lunch. We both enjoyed the food (had the special) and the atmosphere. Very NYC feel to it which is great for colleagues visiting from out of town. I will definitely be going back soon.

We made a reservation for 8 people several weeks in advance. It was reserved with a credit card. The table was not ready and We made a reservation for 8 people several weeks in advance. It was reserved with a credit card. The table was not ready and we waited over 30 mins to be seated. The manager did send over some 'complimentary' appetizers but when the bill arrived we were charged for them! They did remove the charge when we complained. But I would not recommend this restaurant for a group or any kind of work event. They appear to just jam customers in without regard to reservations.

Great vibe, nice menu selections, good price point. Food and service were on point.

This place felt like quintessential NY. We had a big group of 8 and wanted a good brunch at a reasonable price but wanted a cool place to go, not a diner or a 5 star place. We found it. \nThe Smith is open and bright and clean and has great character and our waitress was super friendly. Huge portions!!!

Excellent experience from the second we walked in until we left. We had a reservation but were waiting for 1 person in our party to arrive. Not only did they hold our reservation for more than 15 minutes but they sat our incomplete party (without any attitude at all!). The place was packed and I was expecting that we would be rushed out but that was not the case. I wish I got our server's name because she was great. The food was absolutely amazing and I am looking forward to going back again to check out their dinner.

I had the Chicken Salad as a Main course - and it was plenty. Even had left overs to take home!\nFrench Fries are a Must. Service is friendly and timely - we really enjoyed our eveniingg at The Smith!

Always love the food! I made a reservation and waited a half an hour to be seated. The hostess didn't seem phased by it and clearly didn't manage the seating plan. Would have appreciated her acting like she cared even just a little.

Always a treat to dine at THE SMITH - never had a bad meal - from Salads to Steak - you can't go wrong. Mac and Cheese is a MUST! We'll be back!

Went there for a friend's birthday for Sunday brunch. We were four adults and two kids, one a toddler in a high chair, the other an infant in the stroller - no problem to have the stroller table side. \nService was great - quick, extremely friendly and funny! Despite a huge crowd waiting we never felt rushed. \nEveryone seemed to like their food - great selection of classics as well as dishes with a twist. \nIt's not in our immediate neighborhood, but would definitely go back - especially for brunch in summer with the windows open it's a great spot!

Great great food! The service was awesome as well. I had a burger and my boyfriend had the mussels. Both were delicious, looking forward to going back and trying more things!

We had a delicious after theatre dinner. The cocktails were yummy, the entrees tasty and desserts amazing!!!

Took a trip in to NY to see the Christmas show and decided to eat at the Smith. Menu has a lot of variety, Steaks were delicious, raw bar was awesome, and Chicken Pot Pie was to die for. All in all, very reasonably priced for the city and if you go with children they do have 2 or 3 kid entrées not listed on the menu.

I mean . Does awesome say enough? No definitely not , but that is what my experience is every time I am at The Smith Midtown

Love the Smith the service and food are top notch about 90% of the time but those are great odds. We dine here often for brunch and maybe it is the age demographic they draw a younger energetic crowd or the design of the ceiling which may amplify the sounds / table talk but it is extremely noisy. Not that it keeps us from coming back. See you next Sunday but maybe not hear you Smith.

Had dinner here after graduation with 11 people. The group before us was late getting out, so our table wasn't ready until ~25 minutes after our reservation. We were able to grab some drinks at the bar while waiting, and we were brought some complimentary snacks by the staff. The food was EXCELLENT! Definitely expensive, but you also surely get what you pay for.

We love The Smith. The food and drinks are always fabulous so we try to visit here at least once when we can get in to the city. I guess my love for the place was somewhat diminished when my friend ordered a simpler breakfast than what was on the menu- eggs, bacon and toast. He was charged $20-- more than the specialty breakfasts on the menu. After bringing it to the attention of the waiter, the manager lowered the price to a whopping $17. Big deal! That's the average cost of all the 'better' breakfast dishes. Lesson learned: go to the diner across 2nd Ave for simple and cheap!

Brunch at The Smith is simply amazing. The cuisine is Americana and very memorable. Fresh and satisfying to say the least . Service , as always , is personable and very attentive.

Our server was absolutely the best! She was cheerful, helpful, efficient - we loved everything about her. Our food was good and we had a wide variety of things - salads, steak, eggs, brunch dishes etc. Portions are very large. This was solid and well priced but not a fine dining experience. You don't go here for that.

The Smith has great ambiance and the customer service of the staff was very attentive. The menu has a varied and great food selection and the bar menu had some fun drink selections. I would definitely recommend The Smith for lunch.

The egg white omelette with spinach and goat cheese a must. The home fries are the best. We were there for brunch. The staff couldn't have been nicer. If I want a quiet place don't go to The Smith.

Tried to get here for breakfast but missed - they stop serving around 11. Decided to stay for lunch as we were starving. I had the avocado toast - as expected lots of spicy avocado on toast topped with a poached egg and some greens. My wife has the crispy cod sandwich which the apple slaw was the star. Although the house chips weren't to shabby either. Lucky we sat down when we did as this place fill sup fast over the lunch hour. Good value, tasty bites and great vibe.

Excellent, yummylicious food!

Fun, locally sourced restaurant with a very high energy level. The subway theme is interesting but it gives rise to a very loud dining experience. Main dishes and sides all quite solid. Smores in a jar is a wonderful dessert to share.

Always a great time, at any of their locations. Flounder over polenta and spaghetti squash is the best. Chicken pot pie hit the spot.

The Smith

Had brunch there this Saturday- service was great, food was delicious, highly recommend.

Went for Sunday brunch with 8 people-- the food and service was amazing. The menu had a large array of choices, everyone commented on how tasty their food was. Definitely try the candied bacon scones with whatever you order.

We loved the food. There was something for everyone, even vegetarians.

While the food & service are both excellent, the noise level in the restaurant made conversation difficult. Thankfully there was room for my friend to sit next to me on the bench as we were having a hard time hearing each other across the table. The couple next to us had to call out to a server several times with increasing volume before they were heard. I love the food here, but will likely not schedule a meal here if it's one where I'll want private conversation at a sensible volume.

This place is great, but definitely more so with a reservation than without. It gets a HUGE happy hour crowd, so good luck getting a spot at the bar if you're only looking to have a drink or two with a friend. That said, reservations seem easy enough to come by and I don't think it's possible to leave without feasting on at least some of their yummy bar snacks (mac and cheese is off the hook, battered green beans are also quite tasty!).Not too pricey, gets a good amount of natural light, and has a lot of great options for food and drink. This is a new favorite of mine, and I will absolutely be back again soon!

I admit to a bias against restaurants that refuse to seat parties until every last member has arrived. In this case probably 20 sweaty, rain-soaked guests were crowded into the narrow, humid entryway when I arrived. Off to a bad start. The noise level is deafening. My companion and I had to yell the entire time. Service was ok, reasonably prompt and friendly, but the food was of mediocre quality serve in huge portions. The hot potato chip starter was about the size of a full bag of chips. Somehow they were bland tasting. This unfortunate choice was representative of the items that followed. Won't be back.

For some reason I always find this restaurant way too loud for me.

The service was amazing. The cuisine is a perfect mix of NYC chic with a Sunday Dinner family feel.

I went here with my wife after a day of site seeing. We were looking for someplace casual with tasty food and this fit the bill perfectly. Our server was attentive but not overbearing. We ordered mac n cheese to start, my wife ordered the chicken pot pie and I went with the pork chop. We also got a side of Brussels sprouts. The food was delicious, it came out in a timely manner and the portions were generous. The items were comfort food but not unsophisticated which really hit the spot after walking around in the cold all day. My only minor issue is that I prefer dark beers and the menu had no stouts and porters however the beer list still had decent variety. All in all it was a nice experience and if we're in the neighborhood we would definitely go back.
