    At first this place looks like a regular NYC diner, but don't be fooled - you will want to come here again and again! The avocado toast & pancakes are one of the best in the city!

    A neighborhood standby with solid gastropub and American meals. Worthwhile for groups and great brunch menu. Potato pancakes, spinach and eggs - just do it.

    Great food. Order lots of appetizers and sides. The main courses are great but a sampling gives you more to try. The tuna tartare / poke (changes seasonally) is incredibly delicious.

    Always though of them as brunch/drinks type of place but lunch food proved me otherwise. There are some unexpected items on the menu but you are likely pleasantly surprised if you try

    Generous portions of delicious comfort food. Healthy options and nonalcoholic homemade sodas too. Good for families, brunch, and a late meal. Usually a wait. Get the mac & cheese and s'mores in a jar!

    Excellent service, great food and cocktails (albeit pricey), a decent beer list, and a nice location. Outdoor tables on Broadway and a trendy indoor section that is fun but can get a bit loud.

    Food is fantastic. The baked pretzel = amazing. The Brussels sprouts are amongst the best I've had. The truffle gnocchi is amazing. Add grilled chicken on top for more protein.

    The newest of the 3 Smith restaurants, this one is a welcome addition to the area. We love to start with the potato chips and blue cheese fondue, followed by the lobster roll or roasted chicken salad.

    I tried the Fried Oyster, the Crispy Calamari, the Mussels and believe me, everything was AWESOME! I am glad i came here! (The service by Andy was great too)

    Love the brunch here. Eat outside on a nice day. Very busy. Favorite brunch entree: potato waffles with creamed spinach and poached eggs.

    The flatbread had the perfect balance of creamy ricotta & crunchy thin crust. Get the summer flounder - you'll thank me later.

    The Smith makes a mean burger and has excellent cocktails. One of many locations in the city, but this one is perfect for grabbing a bite before catching a movie at the Lincoln Square movie theater.

    Great place for a quick drink / snack before hitting the ballet (etc) across the street. And nothing says "I'm going to the ballet" like ordering a plate full of delicious MEATBALLS (do it!)

    Huge back area, spotty service but American classic menu. Skip ceviche bathed in oil $11. Get side of sautéed garlic spinach $7 and mushroom omelet $16 for brunch.

    The Smith is an NYC mini-chain, but this is its best location by far. It’s huge, with tons of outdoor seating and a great view of Lincoln Center. Read more

    Portobello fries & spicy dip, deviled eggs, lobster salad w buttermilk dressing & trout schnitzel on cauliflower. Expect poor service, crowds & noise but tasty food.

    The evening atmosphere was delightful, not too crowded and just enough ambiance to remind you why New York is great. The s’mores dessert was delicious and the burger hit the spot!

    Pastas are great!! Cocktail are awesome. The burger is tasty, but the bun makes it hard to it because it's not soft bread is more like a chewy brioche. Anyway, if You are in good company it's awesome!

    The Smith eggs Benedict was insanely delicious! Very nice interior, and staff was friendly (they didn't seem to mind that I had just come in post run).

    Have been here a few times and haven't been disappointed yet. Things to try: tempura green beans, jalapeño cheese grits, filet, roasted chicken, shrimp and grits entree. And save room for dessert!

    All the smiths are good. The new Lincoln square location has the best (biggest) menu. The village location is the best date scene (food) the midtown location is the best for first date drinks

    Their lobster roll is really fresh and their black pasta with shrimp is really nice as well! Nice and quick staff. Sat outside and enjoyed the view of the opera.

    I had been dying to eat at the smith since I moved to NYC. I had the tuna tartare & the fried oyster BLT slider with a pink pussycat to drink. Everything was delicious, but our server was SO RUDE.

    Delicious house made sodas! And the steak salad was fantastic. I have some very specific food sensitivities & they were amazingly accommodating. Loved the ambiance & warmth.

    A bit overpriced b/c of the area but overall great food. Calamari is served with marinara on top so if you like to keep yo squid crunchy, ask for it on the side. Mussels sauce is heavy but delicious.

    Reliable spot and they always accept walk-ins. All their salads are quite tasty and so are their raw fish appetizers. Good for people watching on Lincoln Square.

    Come in hungry because portions are big. Mac n cheese was decadent and the salmon was just perfect. Shrimp cocktail was rather flavorless. Service is attentive and polite.

    The salmon tartare appetizer, the gnocchi, and the salmon entree were all very tasty! The gnocchi dish was quite small for an entree. The atmosphere is really nice.

    This place is the perfect brunch spot on a sunny day. My hot date and I were seated immediately at the perfect table outside. The pancakes with the salted caramel syrup are delicious.

    We arrived early for our reservation and were promptly forgotten about. A ton of walk-ins were seated before us and after 30 mins they finally remembered us. The mushroom omelet was delicious, though.

    Lovely and warm interior. Very popular especially on holidays. Make reservations in advance or expect a very long queue. Recommended for brunch.

    great more casual place to have a business meeting that's close to columbus circle! for breakfast, get the avocado toast and a latte

    If brunching, get an order of the donuts to start but avoid the breakfast pot pie as it is more of a breakfast pot soup. Waffles and BLT tho are 👌🏻

    Great for brunch and also a nice late night dinner spot when the crowds have died down. Solid cocktails. Don't miss the burrata starter, trust me.

    Liked everything I tried - burrata, grilled shrimp, hummus and “The Gatsby” - pretty good cocktail for some warm weather day time drinking!

    Overhyped but overall a wonderful brunch spot the caramel on these pancakes was sour and overpowering sadly but perfect cook on them

    The chicken and waffles is really good. Chicken is luscious and waffles are more savory than sweet.

    Calamari appetizer wasn't anything special. The shrimp & grits were soooo good. Those grits are a must have. Saturday night special of paella was very good too.
