Food here was really good. Stopped by with a friend on a random weekday and this place was packed. We ordered everything from the calamari, spicy salmon tartare, braised short rib mafaldine, bistro burger and the honeycrisp apple pie. The calamari had some surprising additions, but very delicious and a must order if you love calamari. The salmon tartare was really fresh and tasty. The mafaldine was cooked al dente and the short rib you could tell was slowly braised for hours.
My friend and I really enjoyed our experience here. The ambience is very warm, bright and definitely loud. If you want a private more intimate place this may not be it unless you have a private dining room. The servers were attentive and I loved how they bring out still water and sparkling. Highly recommend making reservations in advance.

My family and I visited The Smith on a busy Sunday around 5 pm. Thankfully we had reservations, otherwise it may have been a bit of a wait. The atmosphere was lively, and the food was solid across the board.
We ordered the calamari, kids cheeseburger, the Smith burger, and the braised short rib mafaldine. Everything was well prepared, with the short rib mafaldine standing out as rich and comforting.
A nice touch was the fresh bread service and the option of house still or sparkling water. Our server was friendly, though service slowed at times due to the crowd.
Overall, The Smith is a reliable choice for good food.

My wife and I had dinner here on Thursday and had a wonderful time. We had great service. Allyne took great care of us during our meal.
Our cocktails were excellent. I had a Whiskey Sour and My wife had the Yozu Gimlet. Both were well-made and perfect.
We started with the oyster sampler and it was fantastic. If you like oysters, you should give it a try.
We shared the ribeye and it was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and very tender.
Dessert was the Sticky Toffee Pudding, which was to-die-for. Rich, but not too sweet, it was a great way to end the meal.
Overall, it was a good experience and well worth the visit.

We enjoyed dinner here the other night, overall great experience! We ordered the Mac & cheese (5/5), braised short rib fusilli (4/5, not much short rib in the dish but taste was great), NY strip (3/5, fries were lacking but the steak was good), apple crumb pie (2/5, wasn’t a favorite), and hot fudge sundae (5/5).
I forgot our waiter’s name (we came 11/11 around 8pm) but he was the best! Made great recommendations, was attentive, and friendly from start to finish.

This feels like the place to go for business dinners and celebration occasions, yet it’s comfortable enough for friends to meet or a nice date night.
The food is really good. It’s not a huge menu, but what is served is really good.
We had two vegetarians in our group and each person had something different, and our burger loving friend was super happy. My husband really loved the muscles…so lots of options for everyone.
The drink menu is extensive a d we all tried something new. The ladies tried the elegant cocktails, the gentlemen, the whiskeys and bourbon. Everyone enjoyed their drinks.
I would definitely recommend trying The Smiths the next time you need a great restaurant and a really good cocktail!

After a day at the Mall, we went to The Smith for lunch. We were seated immediately, and our server greeted us as we sat down although it was busy. The sourdough bread was very good. I opted to get the veggie burger which was moist and flavorful. The fries were crisp. My friend had the Vanilla Bean French Toast. I ordered the Cucumber Mule mocktail which was delicious. We went during brunch but would have loved a few more options on the menu. Overall the food, staff and atmosphere were impressive. Definitely recommend.

The food is amazing. We tried brunch, lunch and diner on differrnt days and kept returning to this place not because it was conveniently across the street from our hotel but because the food was deserving, atmosphere was very nice and service was attentive and fast. Everything we tried from their menu was awesome, but special mention to their burger which was very good and their mac and cheese was delicious. Totally recommended!

I was told DOZENS of times prior to attending an event in DC that there was a high likelihood of someone like me not feeling welcomed by locals. This is a VERY well known thing. At The Smith, I was treated like family, made a whole bar of new friends, and had some of the best food I have ever had. Genuinely their chicken nuggets are a form of art! I have auditory processing issues and struggle with having conversations in loud environments, it’s a BAR it’s not quiet per se especially when the crowd is in a celebratory mood but it was not overwhelming and I was most comfortable here vs any of the other spots I visited during my trip. I cannot wait to come back next time I am in DC. I love my Smith family!!!

I was highly dissatisfied with my food and the description of my menu item was misleading. I was visiting DC for the day from out of town and had it not been for the occasion I was there for, I would have sent this back and made a complaint to the chef. The manager or whomever is in charge of the menu knows better than to serve some BS like this. The headline for my item was BRAISED SHORT RIBS and mascaldine was the subtitle (along with Parmesan, tomatoes and something else). These little tidbits of dog looking food (the tiny little piece on the white fork pictured), the size of a raisin, is supposed to be the BRAISED SHORT RIBS. I confirmed with two waitresses that I had the right order and they said it was correct. The description should had read “Mafaldine with pieces of short ribs” would have been more appropriate as the Braised short ribs is not the headliner. I took it to go because I wasn’t able to get a photo at the restaurant. I had high hopes for this place as a referral and coming from out of town and this was highly disappointing and ruined my mood. As stated, if it weren’t for the other guests I was there with, I would have definitely asked for the manager. Also, why is cold butter served with the complimentary bread? You can’t even spread it. Also the trash can in the women’s restroom was overflowing.
