   Add a great night food was really nice. Service was excellent. The only disappointing bit about it was that my partner when she went to the toilet came back and said what a state they was in.

   The burger was delicious but quite small and felt there should have been some lettuce in it. Also there was no salad side option which was a shame. They used a very cheap tasting mayonnaise which was also a shame. Service wasn’t great. We sat by a window and it was quite cold and drafty. Had to ask 3 different waiters 3 times for a water glass. Felt rushed throughout the lunch and then they asked us to leave as another table had arrived, no where in the booking doews it state you have an allocated time. Everything was just pretty average, the photos and the menu make you think it will be better than it is.

   Once you have found the Smith's, then the rest is plain sailing. How good can a 6 course menu food offering be? As good as this. Great quality and and great flavours every single course, loved the scallops and beef tartare, extremely fresh and well prepared. This restaurant its a great find in Paddington.

   This was a great night simply because of the food and atmosphere. It’s better to book as it gets extremely busy. We always have a great time after many years and make sure to include it on our holiday. Despite being extremely busy Alfredo tries his best to see everyone for a chat and little catch up. The food is tasty and we all love the rib eye so much. Looking forward to seeing you again this year xx

   We enjoyed our meal as always 😋 great value, fun and a great host, beautiful venue in Paddington Basin. The food is always excellent, I usually go for the seafood risotto but on the occasion I wanted to try the lamb chops and I am so glad I did choose that, the flavour of the meat was out of this world, great taste overall and we always feel welcome. See you again soon!

   I Would love to leave a 10 stars review but it's virtually impossible, staff are on point, foods incredible and sophisticated to details. Atmosphere is crazy good. It's now my routine when ever I'm over to London to see friends and family to visit Smith's at least once for food and drinks. Try the tuna steak, it's unbelievable, so good!!

   What a great time we had here! Great Sunday roast, home made chips with a lovely salad, bottle of white wine, a couple of beers. But the highlight of the visit was Alfredo and the atmosphere he creates with all of his guests. So funny, hard working, on point, constantly making sure everyone is ok. There was also a lady serving, along with him. She too was equally on point - this was a real find, one we will be visiting again when we’re back in Town.
