Jaylen, our server, was amazing! He was very timely and helpful!

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.

Julian was a wonderful server. The food was great. We ordered a “pitcher of sangria” and expected red wine- no they brought champagne and it was the most expensive on the menu $72!!! Not worth it at all. It wasn’t even muddled fruit. It was champagne over ice and fresh orange slices. That was a huge disappointment. BUT- the bacalao was scrumptious and the rest was quite tasty.

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

We had a delightful experience. The food was delicious, high quality and truly unique! Our server, Michael, walked us through the menu, answered questions and made recommendations, since it was our first time at the restaurant. We loved every course we tried. It was the best food we ate while visiting D.C.
