2 weeks ago, I called to make a lunch reservation for approximately 20 people -I spoke to Kayla who was helpful and said no problem. Today a group of us enjoyed a wonderful lunch and get together. Our waiter was great, he checked on us frequently, and everyone enjoyed their food and beverages. Thank you very much. Cohoes High class of 1973.

This place is the perfect mix of old and new. You’re not going to find another place that’s as cozy and rich with old architectural charm while having a menu with classic pub food (fish & chips) and other contemporary items (their seasonal salad is incredible). Friendly staff & 7 days a week, this place is the anchor point of Remsen Street and is a big part of what is making Cohoes an authentic, off-the-beaten-path gem

This place was top notch. My husband and I were in town for a wedding and had dinner on our final night. Cocktails 10/10 great menu… ambiance?! 10/10 it was like we were transported back in time, amazing vibe….Dinner!!! So good.
First off, the kale salad is a must, we shared it as an appetizer and it was fantastic. My husband got the Tuscan chicken pasta and I got the spindle chicken dish, both ahmmaazing. Couldn’t recommend this place more, well done! Hats off

The husband and I went for the first time and really enjoyed our food. We were sat in the dining room at a small round table near the fireplace and the chairs (as comfy as they were) for that table sat so low that the table came to my neck. When we go again, I'll be sure to ask for a table with normal chairs.

Our group of 7 friends/former coworkers were very impressed with our lunch experience. The history of the building, the enormous bar, the architecture and general welcoming atmosphere were noted as soon as we entered. The menu was varied, there was something for everyone's taste and the food itself was delicious! Our server was pleasant and accommodating. We had no complaints and nothing but compliments for the staff at Smith's. We'll be back again, for sure!

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.

A friend and I stopped in after leaving a nearby candlelight event, and we’re so glad we did. I had the NY strip steak, and she ordered the bourbon salmon with an upgrade to the crispy Brussels sprouts—everything was absolutely delicious. Our server, Jeff, was attentive without being overbearing, which made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Terrible service , Not welcomed in , given a menu , or asked what would I like to drink after sitting at the bar 15m. Bartender chose to ignore customers and talk to a friend the entire time. Just decided to walk out. Worst service I’ve ever experienced in my life and I’m not exaggerating.

The food is so good! The atmosphere is great. I had the Chicken Parm with vodka sauce and it was awesome. Busy nights you should make a reservation.

Smith's is a place where everything is made for comfort. There's not a bad seat in the place, and the staff makes sure everyone feels well cared for.

Stopped by for a drink and something to eat after work. I was by myself, I sat at the bar for about 20 minutes before asking what I wanted to drink I got my drink in the bartender walked away. You never asked me if I wanted to menu or something to eat. When I finally got a hold of him again, I told him I wanted menu I waited another 20 minutes to that an hour before he asked me what I wanted. I got a Caesar salad with chicken, the salad with soggy and the chicken was overcooked and burned on the sides and dry is the Sahara. Also the salad cost over $20. All I seen in there was a bunch of hoity touity ppl with alligator shirts men polo shirts. Snobish bar, bartender's are slow, food is overpriced. I think the only reason why I'm such a high rating is because everybody is drunk
