    Celebrated my birthday here for lunch, and it was great! Festive holiday decorations, loved everything we got—Mac n cheese, grilled chicken sandwich, passionfruit soda, giant cookie!

    The service was awesome. The oyster sampler and bone in Ribeye were outstanding. Perfectly cooked and amazingly paired with their fries. So delicious. Highly recommend

    Decent but under-seasoned tomato soup. Pretty bland little gem Caesar. My husband liked his burger and the fries are fire. My steak was cold. I mean like left-over cold. The herb butter I asked for the top never melted at all. The plates are not warmed either. It would help tremendously if at least the plates are warm. The Smith is a hit-or-miss experience. This night was def a miss. It was super busy, even @ 6:00pm, our reservation time, so maybe that factored into the mediocre evening

    A group of us went to the Smith this past weekend. We were early and they easily accommodated us! The server was well adverse in the menu and giving suggestions. The real star of the show is the manger. She took excellent care of us. She chatted for a bit and really made us feel welcomed. Her dessert selections were amazing! We will absolutely be back again!
