We had a reservation for 4:45 pm. We understand it was Valentine’s Day and places would be busy, but that would be the point of the reservation? When we checked in, we were told to wait by the bar. Sure. Time passed and we saw people getting seated. No communication as to what was going on or when we’d be seated. It seemed like people were getting seated at random, so no idea if these were walk-ins, reservations before us, reservations after us… no idea. Which became frustrating. My boyfriend tried to walk up a few times to the hosts, but there was too much chaos to be able to talk to someone. He finally talked to the lady that checked us in and she said they were cleaning off our table. We counted at least two more couples that got seated right after that, so he went back up there afterwards and spoke to a guy that told him they were busy and it would be another 10-15 minutes to which he replied we had a reservation. He was like “Oh, are you (name)?” My boyfriend said yes, and he was like oh well we’re clearing off tables now. 30 minutes past our reservation time, we finally got seated. Service was fine, food was good. We ended up ordering by 5:30, food got there in 15 minutes, but we didnt leave until 6:45- not because we were taking our time but just due to delays in getting a take out box and getting the check. Things I don’t really care about. Honestly wouldn’t be making this review otherwise. Honestly probably would care lesser about the 30 minute wait past reservation time if we just had good communication on what was going on and how they were seating people. Was very frustrating.

Food was mid at best. Service was very slow and inattentive. We were seated in a room in the lower level and it was so loud that we had to yell to hear one another.

Work event dinner. A pre ordered menu was ordered by the event organizer. We we in the basement with a private room. Very nice ambiance and great and courteous serving staff. The food was very good. Highly recommend. Sorry no pics, didn't want to look unprofessional. Chicken, Samon, Stake all very good. Location in the heart of the city. Spot hero, across the street in a covered garage half a block down the street. Cost for parking $12.00 during the week.

All the staff is so friendly and the food is AMAZING! Best Brussel Sprouts ever! They serve them with a green goddess dressing that includes goat cheese; to die for! The burger was also a 10/10.

Went in for restaurant week deal for $30 lunch deal. Food was good considering the price we thought we were going to pay. We checked the bill when the waitress handed it to us so we could pay. When our group received the bill on the machine to pay after selecting tip it came out way higher than expected ($52). Went to ask for a receipt from waitress and that was when a manager had to get involved. They took a while discussing at the machine and presented our receipts and noticed the difference in total. Checked my bank statement and it was showing a pending higher amount. When we asked about the difference of receipt and after showing the credit statement she said she corrected it and the higher amount shouldn’t go through. There was no reason why there was a higher amount or apology for the mistake. After looking at the bill again still was not corrected as the tip was not corrected. The tip stayed the same for the higher amount and was never corrected. Our group chose on the device around 18% - 20% but ended up paying an overall 25% due to the restaurant not correcting. I don’t know if they are running a scam or workers think they can get away with it but CHECK YOUR BILL AND CALCULATE IT to make sure it is correct. I do not trust this establishment

I love this restaurant. Every single dish I've tried of theirs is outstanding. Their vegetable bibimbap is incredibly flavorful, with the perfect rice texture, and had me thinking about for months afterwards. Their spicy shrimp scampi is also incredible. The sauce is to die for and the noodles were cooked to just the right consistency. There are also little crunchy bits for an extra sprinkle of delight. My friend got their late night spaghetti, and our respective dishes so completely captivated us that we were near silent the entire time we were eating. We also enjoyed their shrimp cocktail, which was chewy and fresh and served with two refreshing sauces.

Their dessert, also, is worth trying. The quarter pounder cookie is lovely, complete with gooey melty chocolate, but I also have to make a case for their apple pie. The crust is cookie-like in texture, which I enjoyed, and the apple compote is super delicious.

Would highly recommend stopping by The Smith if you get the chance!! Their service is also very attentive and friendly, and the whole restaurant is a good vibe.
