    We went to lunch last weekend and had a wonderful experience, even on a busy day. Our server, Yesenia, was fantastic and kept everything moving. We ordered the Miso salmon with avocado, the 'little' (far from it!) gem caesar salad with avocado, and the ranchero scramble with large apple smoke bacon and chicken sausage. Everything arrived on time, was freshly served, and tasted delicious. This is officially our go-to restaurant in NYC

    Overall, I enjoyed the Smith. The atmosphere is very lively, the service was great, and the food pretty good. I know they're known for their cocktails, but after 3 days of drinking at every meal, I was boozed out. I loved that they keep bottles of sparkling water at the table. I was downing it I ordered the pasta with short rib and my daughter ordered the vodka rigatoni with added shrimp. While I liked both, both needed salt. I'm not someone who typically salts my food beyond a recipe. I don't even own a salt shaker. But our pasta was a bit bland. All that said, my short ribs were cooked perfectly. I never know if I'm going to regret ordering short ribs because sometimes they are chewy or stringy. These were "melt in your mouth" perfect We couldn't help but order chocolate cake before we left. It's a love of my daughter's. I took several bites. Layered with mouse and topped with ganache, it was quite decadent. I couldn't have eaten the whole thing. --too rich. But really delicious. Very shareable.

    I have mixed feelings about The Smith, but three stars feels fair -- maybe even a touch generous. We booked a table for eight for a family brunch to celebrate my wife's 40th, so expectations were (understandably) high. Let's start with what they absolutely get right. The ambiance is fantastic -- very 1920s, F. Scott Fitzgerald energy -- and it works. The interior design team clearly put serious thought into creating something transportive and polished. It feels intentional, not accidental. The cocktails? Genuinely phenomenal. The Oaxacan Sunshine was a standout -- bright, balanced, and memorable. My wife's Frozen Pool Party tasted like something straight out of a Death & Co. mixology finals round. Creative, refined, and just plain fun. The food was also impressive. The menu strikes a nice balance between healthier options and indulgent brunch staples, and everything we ordered delivered both in flavor and presentation. Which is why it's frustrating to say the service didn't live up to the rest of the experience. We were seated at a table set with visibly dirty dishes -- traces of butter still on the plates. I quietly mentioned it to the server. He inspected them, said nothing, removed them... and never brought replacements or acknowledged the miss. No quick apology, no "we'll fix that right away," nothing. It made me wonder how dishes leave the kitchen that way, washed by one person, set by another, without anyone noticing. It felt either like a simple mistake or a breakdown in attention to detail. And on a milestone birthday brunch, that lack of care stands out. The Smith has the atmosphere, the drinks, and the food to be exceptional. I just wish the service matched the level of everything else.

    Loved everything, service was A1. Seated right away, was busy Thursday evening. Started with the salmon tartar, fantasticly delicious. Ordered the short rib maldafine, so flavorful would get again, and the cucumber margarita was great. Finished it off with the sticky toffee pudding, YUUMM. Ambiance was lovely and very clean place.

    Second time here Very festive - I got the vegetarian bibimbap (1/5), and the burger royale. My friend really enjoyed the burger.

    What a perfect place to end a quick work trip to New York! My group shared a bottle of wine and delicious appetizers. So glad got the oysters so so good. The waiter was super attentive which in such a large place felt very personable. I had the branzino which was delicious. Loved the decor and vibe of the restaurant hope to come back someday!

    Brunched at The Smith with the fam last Saturday and it did not disappoint. Fluffy pancakes, perfectly cooked eggs, crispy bacon and sausage, and French toast that was rich and caramelized in all the right ways. We also had a burger and fries, juicy, flavorful, and done right. Great vibe, attentive service, and solid brunch energy even with the crowd. Easy, delicious, and reliable, exactly what you want for a weekend brunch. Will definitely be back.

    For the second consecutive year, The Smith delivered an excellent Thanksgiving pre-fixe three course meal. Again, we reserved (more than a month in advance) a table at the Nomad location. And again, it was a busy holiday affair. Our server was very welcoming and on point answering questions and making recommendations. Their 3 course pre-fixe meal was $88 not including additions , beverages, gratuity and taxes. We started off with the Sparkling Cosmo (I'm sure Carrie Bradshaw would approve) and later, a bottle of Beginnings Orange Wine from Italy. All very good. For appetizer, I chose Butternut Squash Soup ( creamy and decadent) while the other two selections were Gnocchi with a Truffle Cream Sauce. Could have kicked myself for not ordering this one. I'm not a huge Gnocchi fan but theirs was to die for. We all chose the Traditional Turkey Breast meal: white meat on a bed of spinach and mashed potatoes. Included for the table was: Brussel Sprouts, Stuffing and Cranberry Sauce. Everything very very good. Here is the overall sentiment of my group and a gripe--the "for the table" servings were very small. If you're a party of more than 2, the serving of stuffing and Cranberry Sauce isn't satisfying. In my opinion, they should serve the turkey on top of stuffing instead of mashed potatoes. Thanksgiving is all about the stuffing and no one wants a skimpy serving. Unless you have a low appetite, the side servings were just too small. I had to ask for gravy twice in addition to more stuffing which took a while to be brought to the table. And the Cranberry Sauce was maybe a few tablespoons in terms of portion size. I think The Smith should do things differently considering the price point. I love this restaurant and their other locations, but I'm not sure I'll return again next year for Thanksgiving. It was the same last year. Those in my party felt the same. Among the three of us we spent almost $500 including tip. Lost one star for this reason. And it's kind of a big deal.

    Went with some co-workers for someone's birthday and had a nice lunch. We got a bunch of appetizers to share and different entrees. Everyone was happy with their food and a good time was had by all.

    We choose The Smith every time we visit NYC. This was the first time we visited this location and it was very much enjoyable. I always enjoy the service as we are always taken really good care of and the food comes out fast. We especially enjoyed the French toast and the side grits! The vibe is always relaxing and active! Definitely a restaurant to check out.

    I've been here twice and both times did not disappoint! The first time I visited, my friends and I sat at the bar for a few drinks. The second time around we sat down for food and drinks. Everything was delicious! We ordered the benedict johnny, shrimp and grits, and a side of house potatoes. My favorite from all was the shrimp and grits! You could never find anything like that in LA! The benedict johnny was also unique and delicious. The cornbread was delicious and had a spicy kick to it. Espresso martini's were phenomenal. The service was quick for a busy, rainy Sunday brunch! Overall, I'm impressed and will probably come back. Also, check out the restrooms... there is a photobooth in there!

    Steak Frites and Rigatoni alla Vodka with Chicken
    Amanda C.

    {Overall: 4; Food: 4} Ambiance: 4; Service: 4 A very solid American restaurant - the food here always hits the spot. One of the best things about the Smith is its consistency. Despite the restaurant being quite large, it can get really busy around brunch and dinner, so I recommend making a reservation! They do have walk-in only high-top tables as well. Some of my favorites: - Burger: greasy in the best way; fries are addictive - Steak frites - Rigatoni alla Vodka - Roasted Tomato Soup - Little Gem Caesar - Shrimp & Grits (brunch) - Benedict Johnny (brunch) Service is good and efficient, keeping things smooth even during busy periods.

    Fried Chicken Nuggets
    Haley F.

    This place has been on our list for years now! Their instagram posts of their Mac and cheese is what always interested us! We ordered the Mac and cheese and chicken nuggets to go. The pickup process was easy and ready when scheduled. The staff were available and helpful for the pickup, you just go right to the host stand and there's plenty of space to wait. Everything we got was delicious and carried well back to our room. Only reason I am rating this as 4 stars vs 5 is because there are some similarly priced places in the area that we felt are better but you will not be disappointed going here!

I was warmly greeted by the gentleman at the door (5 service there), which set a great first impression. However, as soon as I walked downstairs, it felt like the space had lost its speakeasy vibe. I was seated right near the stairs and could feel cold air from outside every time the door opened, which made the experience uncomfortable. I was also surprised to see how much the cocktail menu had been reduced. When I asked about it, the response was that "the place changed a lot." That's fair -- places evolve -- but instead of highlighting the improvements or new strengths, the explanation focused negatively on what the bar used to be. As someone who really enjoyed the former version, that wasn't reassuring. Unfortunately, the drinks themselves didn't make up for it. One of the two cocktails was simply not good. No one came back to check on the drinks, and when I asked for the check after about 20 minutes, there was no acknowledgment that I had barely touched mine or any inquiry about my experience. Overall, a place I once enjoyed and recommended now feels more like a standard dive bar where " Mixologist " were replaced by bartender and were fun cool looking and tasty drinks were replaced by " less complex cocktail ", lacking the warmth and attention to detail that once made it special.

As I walked in and saw just how swanky this place is I panicked - there was no way we could just walk in here without a reservation, right? But the hostess was, thankfully, so down to earth. I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF. The cocktail menu is incredible -- and incredibly pricey, but truly worth it. I ordered the Valentino which was strong and sweet, really well made.

There's also seating on the second floor, perfect for couples or small groups. I tried two of their cocktails when I went. The first was the Eastern Julep, a delicious twist on a classic. The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

For drinks, we ordered the Smoke Show and the King Tusk. The Smoke Show was beautifully balanced. The Grey Goose vodka and Dolin Dry gave it that classic martini backbone, but the fino sherry and brine added depth. The smoked olive oil and blue cheese olive brought just enough savory drama without overpowering the glass. It was complex but not fussy. The King Tusk leaned more aromatic and layered. The vermouths gave it richness, while the Buddha's Hand and osmanthus flower added subtle citrus and floral notes that lingered in a really elegant way. It felt like a cocktail designed to be savored slowly. The music fit the mood perfectly, not too loud, just enough to give the room energy without killing conversation. Overall, it's a great spot if you want elevated drinks in a space that feels transportive without being pretentious. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a refined, slightly cinematic night out in Flatiron.
