The food was spectacular. Service was odd and off. My wife had an allergy that seemingly the server and kitchen couldn’t truly understand. She can have some nuts but not all, but the chef didn’t know what types of nuts were in their dishes so she wasn’t able to try some dishes she really wanted to. We had a transfer of servers. We ordered a guacamole at the very beginning and it wasn’t brought out until we asked for it realizing it wasn’t ordered for us. Undeniably, the food and drinks were spectacular.

Amazing selection of southern style food with some Asian twists. Nice wine selection. Beautiful dining room. Fantastic service. Recommend the deviled eggs, fried green tomato salad, and the collard greens. The steak was cooked perfectly with a pat of Cajun butter!

We were going to Capital One arena for a 2 PM sporting event. Clydes is always our “go to” but it’s always so noisy and crowded there so we thought we should try something new. The Smith menu caught our eye. Traditional brunch style items along decent salads and sandwiches. Plus fun cocktails. The place was packed, but it wasn’t super noisy. Our server was very attentive. We really enjoyed our lunch there and we will definitely be going back
