    We had reservations before a show. Even though the bar and tables were full, our service was quick- food & drinks were excellent as always. Thanks so much!

    Had a group of 10 for dinner. Service was great. Everyone enjoyed their food. Would highly recommend! A few in our group had never been to Smith’s before and said they are definitely going back!

    We had a cousin holiday lunch and chose this location as many years ago our Aunt used to bring us here. We had a great time and would have loved to sit by the fire!

    went on a Saturday afternoon before a show at the Music Hall. We had made reservations and were seated promptly. The place was busy due to the weekend show but service was quick, the food was hot and prices were good. We both enjoyed a cocktail and loved the huge roaring fireplace.
