   It was our wedding anniversary. We booked in advance which you must as it do gets very busy. We were in the Paddington area an hour before our 8.45 booking so we told them as we passed and they did call us as soon as a table was free. Which was a nice gesture from them. Then we were also given a glass of bubbly each and we felt very special. One of the other guests also bought us a drink as he’d noticed the fuss and it was just wonderful. We were very well taken care of by 2 people in particular. Alfredo and Fabrizio were brilliant, attentive and so friendly. The food was also spectacular and all our dishes were amazing. Thank you so much for a beautiful evening. X

   Excellent restaurant and great value for money. Most people go to the posh ones but this is much better. Excellent service, excellent food at a good price. We booked it, tried it and loved it. Definitely the best truffle pasta in town and the calamari were perfectly cooked and crispy. Can't wait to be back!

   We cannot thank Smith's team enough for a brilliant dining experience. It was my partners birthday. The steaks were cooked to our liking and the roasted potatoes were just like home. Thank you to Maurizio and Alfredo who were our amazing servers. The birthday singing took my partner by surprise but it was such a memorable night. A beautiful dinner. We will certainly return.

   Service was outstanding. Everyone was very polite, attentive and very kind. The food and drinks were great, with really nice flavours and several options for our pescatarians/vegetarians in our party. Will definitely come back again.

   Absolutely incredible, you couldn’t fault the food and the service. I had the beef fillet and my mum had the seabass. The food was high class and absolutely worth every penny. Huge thanks to Maurizio who recommended the best meals and things to pair with it plus the professionalism was top notch. Thanks Smith's for an unforgettable evening.

   We had a look on here for ideas of nice restaurants in Paddington, and this restaurant came highly recommended. Wow, we were blown away. The staff were so friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. We were unsure what to try. However, the waiter asked if we would like recommendations, and I'm so glad we did. The rib eye steak and seafood risotto was the best thing we have ever eaten! The vegetables on the side were a lovely touch. We both have drinks, a lovely daiquiri, and the best pint of beer, according to my partner. We had no room for pudding! We would highly recommend a visit but remember to book as it's busy as it's so good!

We’re also delighted that you enjoyed the daiquiri and that your partner loved the pint of beer – a compliment we take seriously! It sounds like you had a fantastic evening, and we’re so pleased we could contribute to that. We completely agree about booking ahead; we love being busy, but it’s all thanks to amazing guests like you! We hope to welcome you back soon, perhaps with room for pudding next time. 😊 Warm regards, EM

   The food was average and the parts that should have been warm were not. The service was variable and there was a saxophone player that was very loud whilst you were eating. Its in a really good location and it might get better but I would not be rushing back.

We're glad to hear you enjoyed our location, and we hope you'll give us another opportunity to exceed your expectations next time. Warm regards, EM
