The Avocado BLT off the Breakfast Brunch Menu was very tasty. Kyla is super nice and made my dining experience a positive one. Thanks, I’m glad I stopped in today.

I really wanted to like The Smith’s Public House, but our experience was disappointing from start to finish. I ordered the chicken sandwich and was shocked to find mold on the bun. The staff replaced it, but the new sandwich came out missing the garlic aioli — and to make matters worse, the lettuce inside the sandwich was also rotting.
My girlfriend’s salad wasn’t any better — it had browning, wilted, rotting lettuce mixed throughout. At that point, it was clear that food freshness and quality control are not being taken seriously here.
The atmosphere was decent and the staff were polite, but the kitchen clearly has some serious issues. It’s hard to recommend a place where basic food safety seems to be an afterthought

We (six of us) loved our dinners at Smiths earlier this month and our waiter, Jeff, did a superb job for a busy night after a Cohoes Music Hall show. Appetizers were also excellent and we enjoyed them at that fantastic bar!!

$34 fish dinner was cold. Tomato bisque soup was just barely warm and the tomato sauce was terrible. My NA beer was not cold. The chicken in chicken parmigiana was good. The expresso martini was very little, but tasty. Server was nice a then rude—hot and cold dude. Asked for a second round of drinks.. “what’ah you want .!!” Not the friendly type..

Food is consistently great and the cookie skillet is the best dessert on the market.

This restaurant has a wonderful speakeasy vibe it's beautifully restored. Staff were great. The good however was one of the worst meals we have ever had. My husband ordered the miso glazed salmon with whipped sweet potatoes and Brussel sprouts. Salmon was overcooked and flavorless. Potatoes had many firm chunks and again unseasoned. I ordered the chicken pesto pasta. Chicken was again unseasoned and overcooked. Pesto was very acidic and very little basil or garlic. This dish was described as having roasted pine nuts and shaved parm, both were absent. Our dinners took a long time and they arrived lukewarm. We were really looking forward to dining here, the menu looked really great online. Big disappointment.

Love everything about this place - great food and staff and creative cocktails in a beautiful old building. They have a lot of specials on different days you can see on their Facebook page. They also have a great Sunday brunch menu.

Stopped here randomly for lunch. The first thing you notice is the old, classy decoration with wood walls, leather seating. We got a pizza, tomato soup, and chili -- all were very good. Service was excellent.
Was having a shitty night. Found myself at Smiths. Ordered an NEIPA and was met by the most fabumous bartender tender and bar staff Thomas and Dionne. After a bit wanted wings. They were fabulous. Dionne and Thomas were.wonderfukmservers but also cared about my human aspect .10/10 recommend. They deserve a raise.
