About The Smith
On Broadway in New York, The Smith serves an American menu with table service, from eggs alla vodka to a French dip sandwich, mac and cheese, and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. The dining room is large, with a big bar and a sink station near the entrance for washing hands. Downstairs, a photo booth in the bathroom gives guests something to do beyond the meal. Coffee options include a Cappuccino, Iced Matcha Latte, and Decaf Red Eye. Reservations are recommended, particularly for brunch, when a wait is common. Outdoor seating extends the dining room outside, and a private dining room accommodates larger groups. Families with young children are provided crayons and a coloring page, and high chairs are available. The entrance is step-free and wheelchair accessible, and dogs are welcome on site. For those eating off site, the restaurant offers both takeaway and delivery. The kitchen runs daily across an 18-dish menu.

Customer Review Summary
Brunch draws the most attention at The Smith, with the baked eggs alla vodka mentioned repeatedly as a standout alongside the sticky toffee pudding, the French dip, and the buttermilk pancakes. Reviewers also single out the goat cheese omelet, the burrata with pesto, the Miso salmon, and the half chicken, describing well-seasoned dishes and generous portions, though a few call the pancakes dry or the sandwich bread soggy from sauce. Service is most often called attentive and quick, with staff remaking an incorrect order and swapping out a plate on request, though a couple of reviewers describe an overly salty pasta dish that went largely uneaten and one describes an unpleasant bartender and a skimpy wine pour. One reviewer also reports finding a used plate with leftovers still on it and a utensil buried in a mussel dish. Despite these lapses, several diners mention returning repeatedly, and one recalls a server offering to remake a mislabeled sandwich on the spot.

“Over the years, I’ve made it a point to visit every time I’m in the area, and it has never disappointed. It’s truly a hidden gem in NYC’s NoMad neighborhood. No matter how busy it gets, the service is consistently warm, attentive, and exceptional. The food is always outstanding and well worth the wait. Experiences like this are why I keep coming back year after year. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to excellence. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.”

“Everything else was decent, but the food was unacceptable. I'm only giving two stars because the service and other aspects met expectations, but the food quality was simply not acceptable at all. We ordered two pasta dishes and the truffle fries. Both pasta dishes were so salty that we couldn't even finish them. For a $27–28 pasta, I expect a meal that's actually enjoyable and edible. No customer should have to leave most of their entrée untouched because it's overseasoned. Our waiter kept asking if we were going to finish the dishes, and we had to explain multiple times that the pasta was just too salty to eat. I've been to this location twice before and I don't remember food being this bad ever before. The waiter mentioned there was a revamp over their menus and businesses but I'm not sure what they did with their chef nor cooking team. Including drinks and the fries, our bill came to over $100 for a meal we could barely eat. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this restaurant.”
