Nice to find a place that serves past 10pm. Joe took great care of us! Love the arancini, calamari, and Bleu cheese chips! Oh and the sticky toffee Pudding!

Food was great. Beer ordered not available. Wine ordered not available. Recommended wine replacement was $70 more expensive. I expect a recommendation to be in the same ballpark and the best restaurants give it to you for the price of the one you ordered. They should have known better. If I had not asked, I would have not known until the bill came. Wine I chose a replacement was good, not great and still $20 more than my ask. No consideration provided.

The minute you walk in the door of The Smith the high pitch noise hits you. If you want to have a conversation during dinner this is not your restaurant. The food was no more than average but the fries were good. Service was good…wait staff was attentive. Nothing more than an average restaurant
