Love The Smith, love this location. The staff were so kind on this one and the chicken milanese was really wonderful, thanks!

Not as good as the downtown location. Came in for quick burgers before a Lincoln Center show. The fries arrived 10 minutes after the burgers and the iced tea was murky and flavor less. Will not be back.

Food quality, quantity & presentation- excellent Service was the best I ever had in a long time around NYC. As good as it gets

First class oysters and FORST class cooking from the kitchen. Our waiter, whose name I've forgotten ☹️, was on top of everything and as sweet as could be. As the crowds arrived around noon it got very noisy, which is always a problem at The Smith unfortunately. But the food was terrific.

The Smith never disappoints their burgers are the best in the city and the service is always great. There's a reason why this place is crowded.

Server was very aware we had tickets to show at 7PM and advised us would be a 15 minute walk. We had plenty of time to enjoy our meal. All was well until we were done and server was no where to be found and we were running out of time. after about 15 minutes my husband went inside to have them find her - instead they had him pay. In the meantime server showed up and had me pay. I took our stuff and met my husband in front of restaurant and we discovered they charged us twice. Now we had to go back in and resolve this issue. Manager felt is apology was enough- NOT. We now had less than 10 minutes to get to Theatre- as a result we were late. Bottom line they felt an apology for lack of service, us having to rush, be sweaty and stressed was no concern to them. Would never recommend this restaurant. Customer Service from start to finish is key. We have so many choices of where to eat!

Love this spot, it always comes through. Solid food and drinks. Only feedback - they could use more vegetarian options.

My pot of mussels was excellent. My dessert, the double shot brownie sundae, was absolutely divine.

We celebrated my adult son's birthday last night at The Smith at Lincoln Square. The food was great, the service was great, and they even had a candle in his dessert when they brought it out. This is one of my favorite spots for excellent oysters and a good steak.

While the convenience of The Smith is great for a pre-theater dinner for Lincoln Center, the noise inside the restaurant is beyond energetic, especially towards the front of the restaurant. The food is fine, nothing mind-blowing, but the noise is deafening. Beware...
Tasty pasta dishes and good burgers and fries. Service was good considering how crowded the restaurant can get at peak dinner hours.

Our waitress forgot our appetizer and then brought it when we're done w most of our meal which we assumed it would have been comped or at least an apology... as my client and I were speaking when it was dropped off. Not the usual amazing smith the past 2 xs!?!?

The Smith has my favorite salad- kale and quinoa. I typically add salmon to it, but this time added shrimp instead and it was delicious. My daughter had rigatoni a la vodka which she happily gobbled down(was not the biggest portion). I appreciate them bringing both flat and sparkling water to the table. We had to asked them to level the table which they promptly did, but I never understood why hosts don't quickly check that when they are seating people. Only complaint was that the sun very soon after seating was beating down on me. I would think someone would notice I now have a napkin draped over my shoulder where the sun is blaring and either offer to move the umbrella or something. The Smith is our best neighborhood go to!

One of our favorite restaurants by Lincoln Center. Always a great time with delicious food, fun environment and super nice staff. We will be back again and again.....and again.

Food and drink were great. Tables were very tight together and pretty loud. Food came out quick but never saw our server again until we got the check. Empty plates sat for quite a while. Friendly service but not fast at all.
