  “Stopped in here for a few appetizers and drinks after a travel day. Seated quickly -- waitress was kind and attentive. Food and drinks came out quickly and everything was great. We had the mussels and fries and they were great! Would definitely come back. Good sized wine menu too!”

  “Great experience. Perfect meal, just as ordered, and wasn’t even on the normal breakfast weekday menu but they insisted to make it anyways. Very unique and cool atmosphere. Great staff and management.”

  “We had an extra night in NYC due to blizzard and after visiting The Smith we were definitely not sad of the extra time we spent there. Kind staff, cosy atmosphere and great food. I recommend their Monday special “Peppercorn burger”.”

  “We first came in for brunch and the food was fine. The goat cheese omelet was solid, but I liked the greens and vinaigrette on the side more than the omelet. The breakfast sandwich was really good, and the potatoes that came with it were the best part of the brunch. The potato waffle was bland, but they have salt and pepper on the table. Flash to a couple nights later after a terrible experience at a late-1800's "themed" bar down the street, and The Smith saved our evening. They were able to sit us quickly after we left the prior establishment (given we didn't have a reservation), and their bar was large enough that sitting there while waiting was easy. Dinner: Truffle Arancini Appetizer - solid choice, but I'd have liked more of the white sauce. Half Chicken - the sauce was punchy and was perfect for the chicken and the veggies were cooked perfectly. It wasn't a true half-chicken, but I honestly think it was better because of that. Instead, it was a large breast and a leg; I think this choice kept it from being dried out the way half chickens can be. French Dip - the au jus was thick and savory, and the bread was amazing. Everything on the sandwich melded together in a great way. Sticky Toffe Pudding - I've never had such a perfect dessert from a restaurant. It was amazing in every way. On top of it all, service was great; our waitress, Chloe, was a doll. This was a great experience for us.”

  “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. …”

  “We visited The Smith’s NOMAD location on a Saturday for brunch: make sure to make reservations beforehand, as it’s a popular time! The staff was really attentive and observant, and took the time to make sure our orders came in correctly. While most were correct, one group member specifically mentioned “no bacon” on her sandwich, yet the sandwich arrived with bacon on it. Our server immediately offered to remake the sandwich, which was a plus! I got the grilled chicken sandwich with mixed greens, and the portions are 50-50 for each, on a big plate! The chicken was well-seasoned, but there was so much sauce, that when it arrived, the bottom of the bread was already soggy. It was hard to eat since the bread kept falling apart with the sauce, and wasn’t as sturdy as it could’ve been. I had a delicious drink (mocha with oat milk) and our group had a great time. One unique touch is the sink station at the entrance, where you can quickly wash your hands!”

  “Great place for brunch! The interior is very aesthetically pleasing, and the holiday decorations were a nice touch. I ordered the baked eggs alla vodka. The hot chocolate latte and matcha latte were my favorite drinks! As well as the cinnamon donuts (we had two orders of them). They also have a Photo Booth downstairs in the bathroom. We were in a rush, but we will definitely try it out next time!”

  “I have been to the Smith before, yet this experience for me was exactly what I needed. Every single person that was walking past my seat at the bar height table acknowledged me and I felt welcomed and accommodated. Jessica came over to say hello I complemented whomever trains the staff there I would assume it was her. The food was great, the kale salad with salmon was perfect and a large portion. The fingerling potatoes were quite spicy yet enjoyable. One thing I have to say, though for the restaurant itself is that y’all need a lot of plants to fill in the empty space of the restaurant. I feel like everybody’s conversations kind of carryover. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I think you just need to enhance the energy of the restaurant with some beautiful plants. Customer service was on point!”

  “What a treat to get to one of the NYC icons of dining with family and friends from out of town. A nice breakfast. Hot coffee! Cornbread provided as an extra! Delicious! Reasonable pricing (but it is NYC!). Go for it!”

  “Had a bit of a mixed experience here. Despite having a reservation, our table wasn't ready and they had to scramble to add chairs for us. The bigger issue was the cleanliness—one of our appetizer plates still had leftovers on it from a previous guest. The waiter swapped it out, but it’s hard to shake that 'sour taste' once it happens. We also found a cocktail fork buried at the bottom of our mussel dish, which was strange. The food was actually great and the timing was good, but between the seating and the dirty plate, I don't think I'll be returning. I really appreciated they gave crayons and a coloring for page for my kids.”
