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
