Have you ever been to a restaurant that exceeds the expectations of mere brunch and is elevated into an experience? Well,... that’s this was - an experience in restaurant authenticity and pride. From the moment we were greeted coming into the doorthrough enjoying the last morsel of food, this was a great place to eat. The food was scrumptious. The drinks were delicious.And, the staff were knowledgeable, attentive, and beyond that - kind. Came for brunch and will definitely be back again! Read more
Fresh oysters, premium salads and sandwiches at The Smith. Tried a pair each of their three variety oysters and I gotta say they... were fantastic. Each has its own unique flavor. Salads are gigantic enough to share and can add almost any protein you see fit.Food preparation for soup and sandwich was a bit lengthy, but everything still came out well seasoned and cooked. Weathercooperated and there was a lot of foot traffic outside during our meal. Would've have had time for a dessert had we not waitedfifteen minutes on appetizers. Read more
Had brunch here and it was great. Ordered the smith burger, lots of flavor and they come with the perfect fries. The mac and... cheese is a MUST. I would recommend getting it as a side to share, plenty to go around. The service was great, kind andattentive. The space is a cool with all the black and white patterns and historic feeling. Worth it to go downstairs and checkthe bathrooms! Read more
Amazing place! The food was so good! I have to warn you it is a bit pricy, but it is definitely worth it. There was also really... great service. Our waitress was kind and attentive. The staff who brought our food out also did and amazing job. I woulddefinitely recommend going here! The picture attached is a picture of the food I ordered (medium rare bar steak with fries). Itis half eaten because it was so good and I forgot to take a picture of the full meal! Read more
Fantastic selection of drinks and cocktails, and amazing food. They have a few locations, but I visited north of the river twice... in one week! The Smith burger is one of the best burgers I've tried! I also highly recommend going for the ribeye, which waselevated to a great dish! The Wild Horses cocktail is a great option (the mezcal, pomegranate, and hibiscus paired verywell)! Online orders are possible, but I strongly recommend a visit!! Read more
Came at open for brunch on a Sunday. Ambience is great, especially when it’s quieter. They got very busy towards the latter... half of our visit. I ordered a the french toast, which had maple butter and caramelized bananas. It was delicious! The otherperson I was with got the Benedict Johnny, which they also enjoyed. Cocktails were included with these dishes so it was a prettydecent deal as well. I would definitely come back. Read more
Loved the Smith! Had the Oysters and homemade chips and fondue, which had us dying for more. Of course we tried the ribeye & the... shrimp and grits for our entrees. We absolutely loved it, the steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned well!!! The shrimp andgrits were dripping with flavor, literally! Definitely will be back to try other selections. Read more
I stopped in for lunch on a hot July weekday. I absolutely love how this section of Clark street is closed off and turned into... enjoyable spacious outside patios. I had a nice lemonade and a quinoa kale salad which was well seasoned and more than enoughfor lunch on a scorching day. The service was friendly. I would love to come back and try their more substantial menu items whenit’s not so hot. Read more
