Great place to people watch in midtown. Food is American continental & standard for NYC. Get the jalapeño grits. Only a few spots in NYC do grits justice, I know b/c I'm from NC. Bartenders r GR8 too!

Carly HeitlingerFebruary 11, 2015My FAVORITE spot for dinner, dessert, and drinks. For food, you absolutely must get the Brussels sprouts and mac & cheese. I dream about it. (Don't forget to pop downstairs for the photo booth!)

Anna ShapiroApril 3, 2016One of the best brunch spots in the city! Free juice/alcoholic cocktails with an order of brunch entree. Gets pretty crowded, so definitely make a reservation. I recommend Wild Mushroom Omelette.
Melissa IllanceNovember 6, 2016Great for parties. Their space is beautiful with an industrial hipster feel. Delicious quality food with different variety. The gnocchi was to die for. Their drinks were phenomenal, coffee martini !
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 12, 2013While dinner here is awesome, we prefer to eat at this hip spot for brunch - reservations are a must. The BLT+E is to die for, and what makes it extra delicious is that it's served on a croissant!
Brunches here are my favorite! Get the smoked salmon egg benedict and the potato waffle benedict, they're heavenly! And if you're craving a dessert, get the s'mores! You won't regret it
Andrew CSeptember 12, 2021For a chain restaurant (they have multiple nyc locations, plus dc and Chicago), it is really amazing and great option for some solid American cuisine foo- salads, burgers, fish, steaks, etc
Condé Nast TravelerOctober 27, 2016We seem to have a thing for brasseries—though this one is decidedly American, with more comfort food than a Southern diner, like the guilt-inducing breakfast pot pie and jalapeño cheddar grits. Read more
Jeffrey ZeldmanOctober 18, 2015Brunch destination. Food is excellent, but you need a reservation and the din (huge crowd, tiled walls) makes conversation tough.
Valerie SFebruary 20, 2017Great spot for brunch with a group of friends. Fun vibe and pretty tile decor. Food is top notch-- totally delicious twists on classic brunch staples.
asli ceylanMay 26, 2017I tried scallop and kale salad. And they were so delicious. Service is very good. The only negative comment could be it was too loud. Because it was so crowded. Fancy restaurant in NYC!
Abbie WAugust 8, 2014R29: Go-to spot for brunch connoisseurs. Sticky glazed donuts served with warm chocolate sauce, vanilla bean French toast, side of Brussels sprouts, cheese grits. Old-fashioned photo booth downstairs.
Katie ChildressDecember 3, 2017Fantastic! Started with a simple fruit bowl with honey drizzles, and then had the toast with truffles and eggs...so good!!
Bridget GaelMay 30, 2018Unbelievable. Everything I’ve had is divine. Favorites: salmon with cauliflower puree, skillet Mac and cheese, burger, s’mores cup desert
Harumi USeptember 22, 2013Probably the best French toast I have had. And you get one complimentary drink with it. The brunch crowd is big and the restaurant does get loud though
Kasia PlebanApril 26, 2016Avocado toast for breakfast or brunch - best I've ever had! You get two pieces of yummy bread, a pile of avocado, salad, two poached eggs. All is perfect! Yummy and healthy!
Jackie LeungAugust 15, 2014This calamari (brooklyn style- sauce on top) is one of da best calamaris in d city!!! Great batter and that sauce is just amazing!
LuborJanuary 4, 2015Quite a busy place with very decent food - actually the lamb chops were the best I've ever had...juicy, tender and precisely "medium". Service is nice and fast.
Summer IzkovichNovember 13, 2014Go to spot for brunch connoisseurs. Start off with a basket of their sweet, sticky glazed donuts served with warm chocolate sauce. Vanilla bean French toast. Photo booth downstairs!
Elena HatibJuly 26, 2017For some reason, this Smith location has the best brunch out of all of its locations. I always try something new each time I go for brunch and it's usually good!
J NealJuly 10, 2013Shrimp&Grits dish is a must! Noisy on ANY given night so don't try to have any serious conversations here. Fun nights...celebrations...date night if you can sit at a cozy corner table!
Wayne AndermanJuly 16, 2018Squash Flatbread a must- Kale Quinoa Salad not to miss & Spicy Tuna Tartare on Crispy Rice - Great trio of tastes...
- DoubleDeuceJanuary 20, 2016Great food. Great energy. Clean, trendy, hip, non-gender bathrooms with red lights and industrial hardware...everything you could want in a Turtle Bay outing!
Adnan ManjalJuly 25, 2015Excellent food. Loved the Sicilian eggs with buratta. It was fantastic. Great service from our waiter Omar, cool guy. Highly recommend for brunch. Book early.
Ru LuApril 1, 2015Went for lunch on weekdays a few times. This place is full of professionals working in the area as well as moms with kids. The three giant chocolate cookies are must.
Great brunch. Get the the eggs with spinach and potato waffles. Also head downstairs peek inside the little black hole in the wall- and don't forget the photo booth. And yes, it takes credit cards.
Jessica StarkJanuary 4, 2013Shareable snacks/apps for a slightly larger group: Hot Potato Chips & Beer Battered String Beans. Dinner: Chicken Pot Pie. Was amazing but LARGE--be prepared to share or take some home!
Sophia J.May 25, 2016The restaurant seems very trendy and spacious. Definitely try the unique "black pasta", and you won't be able to stop snacking on the French fries!
Moushumi ChaudhuryMay 22, 2017Great food and atmosphere! I had an amazing dessert: goat cheese cake with raspberry ice cream and pistachios. Worth to just go for the dessert!
Meaghan SmithNovember 23, 2014Get the blue cheese fondue with homemade potato chips. I promise. The brick chicken is great for dinner and the brunch specials are always on point.
Ms HeleneSeptember 3, 2016Loud but roomy. Chips with blue cheese sauce $9, crispy Brussels sprouts $9, tuna poke $16 all good and gluttonous
K@rTh!kk ReDd!March 14, 2013Spiced Blood Orange Margarita's Awesome. Loved having Allagash White on Draft.. Sticky Ribs & Brick Pressed Chicken were tasty n delicious. Just ask em to put more sauce on chicken.. :)
Caitlin FoxDecember 15, 2015Brunch menu is amazing! I got the buttermilk waffles and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Also the apple juice is fantastic
Kisha ChandlerFebruary 18, 2019Top rate drinks and food! Love The Smith. Super elegant vibe, dishes and drinks. Excellent service
They mean it when they say "big salad." Great-sized, filling salad: roasted chicken on arugula with candied walnuts and lotsa other deliciousness. Definitely enough for a meal.
Uber NYCApril 5, 2013If you're rolling with a big group, no better place than The Smith. Top notch food, big space, and super friendly staff. You won't ever see the bottom of your glass!
Anthony GomezJuly 16, 2014Just an incredible spot with really great food. Killer coffee, pancakes are unreal (see photo/try not to drool) and the French toast is superb.
Anusha PachunuriJanuary 21, 2019Got the waffles, love it! It was a perfect brunch spot for me, so huge and crowded but still could hear each other. Good vibes!
If you only get one appetizer...it should be the fried green beans. Ranch sauce is amazing. Ask for extra.
absolutely loved the tomato soup covered with melted cheddar cheese, & the roasted chicken arugula salad with brie- my new favorite brunch spot in the neighb! So glad they opened this location.
Exclusive ResortsJune 22, 2012Fantastic meal. Great service. Beet salad was amazing. We had the truffle gnocchi and the roasted chicken - both were excellent. It was a fun, hip restaurant. Service was great.
Very consistent. You can’t really go wrong because everything is delicious - but ESPECIALLY the Brussels sprouts and seared tuna salad.
Cindy lauNovember 25, 2014Hot chips with blue cheese fondue! Also, their bloodies are very spicy-they don't holdback on the horseradish.
KelleySeptember 28, 2013Best drinks ever. Check out the long pour section of the drinks menu. 40 thieves and spiced peach margarita are awesome
Missy ClarinSeptember 10, 2017If you're doing brunch there, the monkey bread is a MUST. Also, Val who is a server there is the BEST EVER.
deestivMarch 21, 2014Food is amazing, but it can get super crowded and loud on weekends and nights. Get a cocktail and the pot o' mussels and enjoy!
Valerie PerdueMarch 9, 2015Loved the brick pressed chicken with mashed potatoes with a side of really delicious Brussels sprouts. Really good American food.
Serious EatsAugust 19, 2013Trendy restaurant and bar with a sometimes-rowdy crowd. Bar snacks are the best items on the menu.
Nathan WrightFebruary 20, 2016Trendy and loud. Good food, cocktails and the wait staff is pleasant. If you're into subway tile and hex tile, this is the place for you.
