Old world charm meets new world hospitality in this lovely lakeside landmark. A longtime locals favorite serving award winning classic continental cuisine with a modern flair. The restaurant, resurrected from an uncertain future in 1997 by the combined efforts of the Coppola & Bushar families, has since reclaimed its spot among the favorite dining locations in the Atlantic City area.

    ‘Tis the season to gather the family and head to the Smithville Inn. The food is consistently excellent, and the festive ambiance is enhanced by seating that offers lovely views of the pond and its holiday decorations.

    Great meal is an excellent venue. Our server was terrific. It was a nice way to spend a day between Christmas and New Years. By the way, the pot roast and chicken pot pie were awesome. So perfect for a mid-Winter meal.

    Took my MIL out for a holiday lunch with 3 other family members. I was looking for a holiday decorated and classic seasonal feel and Smithville Inn did not disappoint. Meals were prime rib sandwiches, crabcake sandwhich and turkey platters, all on insert lunch menu. Excellent attention provided by Ryan our server (who to my surprise had a tie bar on his tie), checked back and took very good care of us. My MIL uses a wheelchair and easily accessed the table and restroom.

    We have an annual dinner between Christmas and New Year and we always look forward to it. The restaurant and village are just so beautiful, decorations are amazing. Sadly we opted for a Friday night this year and I would not do that again. There was a wedding going on so the noise was a bit much and detracted from our experience. While the food was delicious, they offered no specials, we couldn’t even choose our own salad dressing, which was disappointing. We still enjoyed our evening out at Smithville and will return or course.

    The food was outstanding! My party of 6 all got the chicken pot pie and we were not disappointed. Portion size is so large that we all took some home. Delicious cocktails from the seasonal menu and yummy desserts. Service was great.

    We enjoy going to the Smithville Inn every Christmas season for our traditional holiday dinner. We arrive on the premises about 2 hours before the dinner reservation. We enjoy wandering through the quaint shops located around the village and watching the dancing Christmas trees located on the lake. We then head into the Inn for a wonderful meal. The Inn is so inviting and this year to our surprise they had violinists playing holiday songs. It was so nice, it added an even more special feeling to the festivities of the season. We truly love this place and are so proud to make it a tradition for our family.
