We have some wings, popcorn shrimp, with some extra dirty sauce, ( no to spicy for my taste ) but delicious. Tuna tartare and the Dirty fry chicken on point to enjoy it the southern taste. Kudos to Trish for take care of us and make our night unforgettable. Until next time! Thank you for the meal.

    The Smith is one of my favorite places to dine while in DC. The quality of service and food is always amazing. They offer a sufficient variety for groups. Also I don’t know how you hire but you can always trust your server’s recommendation for food and drinks. At least I’ve never been steered the wrong way!
