    Eric the GM is delightful. A seasoned and skilled pro. His entire team was enthusiastic and knowledgeable all while being attentive and generous. The space is lovely. The menu is perfectly organized so everyone can find something they love. Don’t miss dessert it was equally delicious. Can’t wait to try other locations

    The food was tasty although small portions on some of the entrees. Service was top notch although he didn’t describe the drinks and entrees like we heard other servers do. The music was louder than it needed to be and the overall room became quite loud.

    Tiffany is the best server ever. We love her. Honestly, everyone who works at the Smith is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and attentive. It’s not like any other restaurant I’ve been to, even high end ones. You can tell that they are very selective with whom they hire because the service is truly what makes the place exceptional. That and the brunch menu! My god.

    Great food & service. Only thing that wasn’t that great is how close the tables are & it’s super noisy to the point it’s hard to talk

    Everything was wonderful, especially the service. Top-notch from the variety of menu items to the quality of the food, portion sizes, presentation, timing and attentiveness of the servers. Beautiful decor and tasty drinks. It was the perfect place for our family of 6 to celebrate our daughter's BFA Show opening.
