    Smiths is a firm favourite of mine and I took two friends who had not been to the restaurant before. They were so impressed with the food and service. The set menu is such good value - the tempura prawns and the plaice were to die for. I'm back again in a couple of weeks!

    As always the food was exceptional. The waiting staff lovely - especially the young lady who served our table (sorry we didn’t get her name). She was very attentive and had a wonderful way of talking with you. Unfortunately we thought the “host” - the Asian lady in a black suit - rather let the side down . She spent all of our visit either trying to chat to other waiting staff - including right beside our table - and to a couple just to the right behind us by the wall she spent around half an hour talking to them in a rather loud voice. Maybe they didn’t mind but we certainly did. Very unprofessional on her part. Nevertheless we look forward to seeing you again soon 😍

    We had the set lunch menu & it was delicious. Plenty of choice & no scrimping on the portions. My husband had the mussels & there were lots of them. I had tempura prawns & they were huge. Definitely recommend. We always have vouchers for Xmas so something to look forward to.
