   The potion size of the roast dinner was too small. Left my party still hungry.

   Amazing venue to watch the boxing. Had an incredible server! Can't remember her name, but she helped us get a better table, and was so attentive, upstairs, glasses and ponytail. She deserves a raise!!

   Great place in Paddington by the canal, staff professional , we visit once or twice a year but everybody greet you like family , special recognition to Alfredo and Maurizio, Beef fillet is tremendous , rib eye was succulent, great range of menu, good wine list,Ask Maurizio for any pairing with food. Always busy so make sure you book.

   We booked this evening and had the 6 courses tasting menu. It was incredible, the staff were so lovely and attentive and the scallops were sublime, drinks and sides were the best we’ve ever had. Will definitely come back, just a shame we came here on our last evening in London otherwise we’d be here every night! Thank you again!

   Smiths is our favourite place to go after work. The staff are always lovely to us, especially Maurizio. It also looks beautiful in there - the Christmas decorations are so pretty.

   When we arrived we were seated on straight away by Maurizio whose service was very attentive. The general atmosphere of this place is lovely, very authentic and relaxing. The cocktails were lovely, and the food was delicious and cooked perfectly. Beef tartar was delicate, the fillet steak was mouth watering and we will be back. Maurizio and Fabrizio were perfect hosts and I would defiantly recommend coming here if you’re looking for perfect food and an overall great experience in London! Will definetely be coming back here again the next time in London

   Had a fantastic meal with wonderful hospitality from the staff at this restaurant in Paddington. The food was impeccablle, especially the truffle pasta. Outstanding both in quality and in service. The added extra of it being a birthday occasion made it even better. This is now my favourite place in all of London, Thank you Smith's team.

   Went for lunch there today, 45 min between ordering and us having to chase them about starters. Staff said they'd check the about the starters, didn't let us know what happened. They likely forgot, another 10 min later starters arrived, no sorry or excuses. Mains arrived some 20min after they cleaned the starters plates. We had the burgers, they ask how you want to meat to be cooked. I asked well done and it was pink. They charged £16 for the service, did not apologise, did not ask how the food was or anything. Completely overpriced for the experience we had. I do not recommend at all.

   Dear n, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We take service and food quality very seriously, and it’s clear we fell short during your visit. We apologise for the delay in receiving your starters and mains, as well as for the oversight with your burger’s cooking temperature. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we sincerely regret that you didn’t feel your concerns were properly addressed at the time. We appreciate your feedback about the service charge, and we will ensure our team improves communication with our guests moving forward. We would love the opportunity to make things right and hope you will consider giving us another chance in the future. Kind regards, EM

    We'd had a recommendation for this restaurant and we were definitely not disappointed! From the moment we arrived the service was fantastic, the cocktails are great and food amazing. We all had the Oysters starter followed by Ribeye steak and the truffle tagliatelle. We also crammed in desserts (cheesecake and the chocolate fondant) which were equally delicious! Definitely the best meal we had in London so far and all the staff were great, the service from our waiter Maurizio was simply the best, so attentive and friendly! It's not cheap here but you get what you pay for.... so go on, treat yourself!!

    Dear Jack, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed your experience with us, from the fantastic service to the cocktails, food, and desserts. It’s great to hear that the oysters, ribeye steak, and truffle tagliatelle were a hit – and we’re so glad you had room for our cheesecake and chocolate fondant! Your kind words about Maurizio will mean a lot to him. He’s always focused on making every guest feel special, and we’re pleased that his attentive and friendly service contributed to your memorable meal. While we do pride ourselves on providing great quality, we’re so glad it was worth every penny for you. We look forward to welcoming you back to treat yourself again soon! Warm regards, EM
