    The Smith is consistently outstanding. We had an awesome meal. The place was packed but our server was attentive. I had the soba noodles and added salmon. It was awesome. The others in my party had the vodka penne and gnocchi and they said it was awesome.

    Delicious food and amazing service! Highly recommend the mussels appetizer, and our daughter loved the pasta in marinara and “dirt” dessert off the kids menu.

    The rooftop setting is lovely especially at sunset. We went on a Friday. There was a band playing street level that you could hear from the rooftop - wasn’t our genre. Later, there was jazz on the roof which we enjoyed but it could interfere with conversation. Food was uneven. The crab appetizer was yummy as were pizza and burger. Salad and pasta just OK. Margarita was good. Service was uneven. Our server was very rushed and forgot items (had to ask twice for a beer ordered after meal was served and finally got it at the bar) and left us unattended. Think he was covering too many tables and just needed to slow down a bit. Did not inform us that 20% is automatically added to bill but we noticed it. Despite that, it’s a great spot for a drink and apps, pizza to share. As our friend said, it doesn’t feel like DC, more like Miami.

    We went for Black Restaurant Week and had a wonder time! The menu they curated was very good. We ordered the devil eggs and flat bread for appetizers. Both were delicious. For the main course we ordered the Salmon and Pasta were amazing as well as the blueberry cobble! Derrick, our server was very informed and was able to assist us with ordering. He was very friendly and attened to us with impeccable service. We will be coming back!
