Ill like to be honest Im not usually the kind to give a 1 star review . But unfortunate just as you want to stand out for great food. Service should be the same . This location like all the other smiths in the city offer really good food and the kitchen really stand out in this restaurant . I want to add this review and it might help some of you out there . I experience in many visits in the smith that service is acceptable and I understand how in addition busy atmosphere things might work a bit faster paste , the problem is when the dont work at all . I visited to have dinner in Christmas eve made a reservation came in about half an hour early no problem Ill waited in the bar grab a drink and even order an appetizer because I knew I might waited a bit longer for a table. We finally got a table maybe 10 minutes passed my reservation and this is understandable is Christmas eve . What when wrong was the simple fact that once our servers took our order ( strip steak and house steak) , we never ever saw her again not once or maybe a simple. Hey guys Im leaving heres another server if you need something. actually it was paying the bill that I figured she left . So what happened simple steak got on the table and we didnt even have a steak knife we where siting waiting, maybe she was coming ??? Nope . once I started too look around for someone as my food was starting to sit for too long i notice this one person looked different to a server I though maybe a manager well I was not there to complaint so I just told em to please apologise me for interrupting him , and simple asked for a steak knife . He did so I started my meal . No one came to ask how our dinner was or if we maybe wanted something else we where just left in our own time when I realize our server have left unfortunately for us we where left in our own I asked my check to someone else and walked off really disappointed no dessert no hey anything to drink I know. I brought my drink half empty from the bar but it was finished before I got my food . So please try not to expect the best . I understand quick service but not the lack of one .

I would give it a 3.5 star if the option were available. Beautiful French doors and appropriate black and white decor. The staff was very professional in helping me find my table as I was the last of my party to arrive. They also promptly replaced a stained napkin someone at my table had received. The bee sting cocktail was decent, I knew it would be an Herbal drink but I wanted to try it anyway because it said it had honey infused vodka however I wish I had ordered the honey dew margarita. The food was elevated pub food. Three people order apps and two came out followed by the last app, I was surprised they didnt come out all together. For an app I had the fried potato chips covered in blue cheese. The blue cheese was okay but Ive had better, this dish lacks creativity. I ordered the special of the evening which was the Chicken and waffles. The chicken had a slight kick to it and came with a honey sauce. It was exceptional but Ive honestly had better chicken and waffles. The waffle itself was okay but even my own dog didnt want to eat it as a leftover. It was an interesting combination and concept but Im not a fan of what I ordered. Large portions as I could only eat one waffle and one piece of chicken. I wish i had room to test out their desserts! Service was exceptional and casual as the staff wore T-shirts which I found a bit off for the way the decor and ambiance of the establishment. Id still return to try other items on the menu but moreover Id return for the cocktails.

Waren heute dort essen weil es eigentlich sehr gut ausgeschaut hat. Leider wurden wir enttäuscht. Wir sind es aus Österreich gewohnt in sehr schönen und edlen Lokalen in einer ruhigen Atmosphäre zu essen. Die Menschen schreien sich hier richtig an und es war so laut das wir uns nicht mal selbst verstanden haben. Das Essen war für das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis auch sehr enttäuschend. Bei meinem Burgen waren Pommes für gefühlte 3 Personen zum essen und nochdazu irgendwelche Tiefkühlpommes. Eine Gasse weiter bekam ich für den selben Preis wenigstens selbstgemachte Pommes. Mein Partner bekam für 22 $ eine Miniportion Pasta. Die Bedienung war dafür sehr nett & sie haben sich bemüht.

Read my reviews, they are never bad. My experience at The Smith on 3/3 was the worst ever. I made a reservation early for Prime Rib Thursday, when we got there it was sold out. Ok I can get over that. I ordered the NY strip and Brussel Sprouts, 3 bites in and I get the worst pain in my mouth. I spit out my food and I have a piece of hard clear plastic stuck in my tongue. I stop the waiter and explain, Im bleeding into a napkin. He doesnt ask if I am ok, he doesnt ask if I need medical attention, he just tells me he is going to get a manager and walks off with my plate. After a few min. the GM comes over and says he talked to the chef and the plastic is most likely from the Brussel Sprouts packaging. (Thanks for checking on me first) He apologized and offered to replace the meal, the entire time I am still holding a napkin on my tongue. We said we were done and asked for our bill. A few min later the waiter returns and says "The manager never does this, but he is going to comp you dessert.". We paid our $121.00 bill and left. 3/4/16 I called and asked to speak with a manager. The beverage manager said he would give my info to his manager and they would be calling me very soon. Never got a call. Worst Customer Service EVER!!!!!

Not sure how "five star" McDonalds sounds in regards to their burger and fries but I mean it in the best way. Their signature burger reminds of the flavors of a Big Mac but once you let the flavors settle in you know you are eating one of the best burgers youve ever had. I ordered the medium rare burger with bacon, lettuce, onions, tomatoes and fries and it was one of the best burgers Ive ate. The burger was Cooked perfectly, the onions didnt over power, the lettuce and tomato wasnt too much, the bun was perfectly sized for the burger, and they had a special sauce that put the whole thing together. And of course bacon make everything better. Their fries are some of the best youll ever have. Thin fries that are super crispy and hot. Definitely fresh out the frier and with their house ketchup you have the perfect duo. They also have some homemade sodas. I ordered the guava which was pretty good. But its all about the burger. Come here. Get the burger you wont be disappointed Service is good and the waiters are nice. Get the burger.

Great food at affordable prices! The main dining room is light and open with natural alcoves around the main bar area which keeps the atmosphere, in these areas, cozy and romantic. Overall this place feels inviting and hip. Weve been to this place twice now, once for breakfast and latest for a late lunch. During the early breakfast sitting; this place is definitely busy, but if you dont mind sitting close to others there is the options to sit at a long bar-like table with bar chairs at either side. We found it a fun way to interact with locals or other tourists while still having the option to focus on our own conversation. For lunch, the main courses are at about 20$ on average, which feels just about right. Again, food is delicious and you get a full plate so you feel that youve gotten your moneys worth, and with the service going hand in hand with the food, you leave satisfied and in a good mood. We plan on going back here again tomorrow morning for our final breakfast before going back home to Scandinavia.
