The Smith

You can tell that the system is in & they are really finding their groove. It has a few rough spots, but this fun, friendly newcomer has a lot of real good things going on. The beer & wine list is priced right with good variety and a few surprises. The homemade potato chips with the gorgonzola fondue drizzle is a neat tasty shared warm up. The lamb schnitzel is not greasy and tastes great over very good smashed red potatoes. The pork chop came out tough, but has promise and it comes on a bed of apples & onions that work well. The mac & cheese was tasty, but was too al dente and when this was noted it was wisked away & a very large pot of mussels and a huge side of very fresh housemade french fries were brought. No arguments, no excuses, just "ok, what can we bring you instead." As a matter of facr, after the entrees were done, a manager came over and said he heard that the pork chop was tough so he took it off the bill, no prompting just efficient.. We had a side of sauted spinach that was cooked perfectly and there are alot of sides and other dishes that look very promising from pastas, other veggies and some very nice salads that we saw. When you sit down, on the table are two bottles of water, one still & the other fizzy. No what kind of water do you want? Very cool. The desserts are a list of fun $5 sundaes and I mean fun. They hit the spot. The place reminds you of Schillers in a lot of ways & this comparison is in a good way. With all entrees under $20 except fo steak this Jane/Mermaid sibling is just the right call. We will be back.

Nice trendy addition....Cool bar with "interesting cocktails". Unique food selections some unusual and some great staple/standby/comfort foods. Good vibe but could be noisy. All in all they seem to truly have done it right. Kudos and i will be back..Have the Pork Chops. Best ive had anywhere!!

A nice addition to the neighborhood and a step up from the Pizzeria Uno that was in the location previously. I've tried them for lunch and dinner, both on a weekend. OK sandwiches, very good burger with the works, good fries. The place is noisier at night than during the day, but the service and fairly spacious layout tend to compensate. Didn't feel rushed or cramped. They seemed to appreciate my business, which is something I can't say for many restaurants in this city.

Great addition to the neighborhood. Brunch is fantastic. Finally a place that knows how to make hollandaise sauce. Great bar, great food, great atmosphere.

Great addition to the neighboorhood. Perfect for before or after anything. Busy- loud -noisy and friendly. Food is much better than a diner and well priced.

Went here this week after a movie. Totally great cocktails. I loved the spicy one with jalapenos. Great big bar was nice to spread out. Purse hooks under the bar. That should be mandatory at every restaurant. Cute bartender and nice music. All in all an A++ new place to go this fall/winter.

Went to The Smith this weekend (I think it just opened because there was no sign). My three friends and I had a really great time. We are all so happy to have a new place in the neighborhood that serves yummy food. I had the tuna tar tar- awesome. We shared the hot chips fondue - sinfully delicious. I also had the cod- warm and tasty. The Med salad, tomato soup and sundaes were also big hits. Decor is fun and the bathrooms are totally cool. Will go back for sure to try the cocktails. Prices are reasonable too.
