I had stumbled upon The Smith a few years ago and with a friend, and I remember being a super hot…read moreday - we sat outside and just had a cocktail. This past week, I had a proper brunch with another friend at The Smith and it was a great experience. I had made reservations (just in case), and I got there right on time but my friend was running late. I got seated towards the back by the friendly hostess but as I was waiting, I changed my mind and wanted to sit closer to the front where there was more light coming in from the front the windows. The hostess was very accommodating and moved the table without a problem. The food was delicious. As always, I try to keep it healthy and had the Sugar Snap Pea salad and my friend had the Burrata. The salad was fresh and crispy, with grilled chicken for extra protein. My friend said the Burrata could have been warmer in temperature, but it was still a good choice for her. The ambiance was also very pleasant, there weren't many people at the time we went and I think once the weather gets warmer, the front doors are able to be fully open and allow air in and provide a more al fresco dining experience.

Review: The Smith (NYC) ​I recently visited The Smith in…read moreNYC, and I'm fairly certain the kitchen is running some kind of delicious sorcery in the back. ​I ordered The Smith Burger, and it was so good it almost felt illegal. It's the kind of burger that makes you want to write a thank-you note to the cow. The bacon jam and blue cheese didn't just sit there; they threw a party on my palate and forgot to invite the napkins. ​Then there was The Royale. "Scrumptious" doesn't even cover it. It was like a masterclass in structural engineering--how they managed to keep that much flavor stacked between two buns without it collapsing under the weight of its own ego is a mystery. ​By the end of the meal, I was essentially one burger away from needing a forklift to get me to the subway. If you're looking for a quiet, sensible salad, go somewhere else. If you want to enter a meat-induced euphoria that will make you forget your own zip code, this is the place. ​Final Verdict: 10/10. My cholesterol is concerned, but my soul is at peace.

There is currently construction and scaffolding in front of the place, but you'll see signage where to go at the opening of the scaffolding. We walked in, past the bar and checked in. We were seated within 5 minutes. I ordered a bourbon old-fashioned and we ordered crab rangoon as a starter. There were a lot of them and the sweet chili sauce was great. For my entree, I ordered the vodka rigatoni and a side of buttered broccoli. The vodka rigatoni was really good - liked the flavor and a decent size of pasta. The broccoli was really good for some reason to me. Also tried the truffle mac and cheese which was incredibly rich and tasted great. As a dessert, we had the chocolate pie which was dense, rich, and topped with a huge dollop of whipped topping. I really liked the atmosphere of the place, loud roaring 20s style with jazz playing. Plus I kept finding myself checking out the mural on the wall. Try it for yourself - but worth the fight to get a table.

Jeanine herself is so warm and accommodating and is such a sincere and kind person. On one visit when I was in a rush picking up dinner for my mom, she went above and beyond to quickly prepare the most perfectly tender chicken cutlet with vegetables in just minutes. On my most recent visit, I had the most delicious chicken parm with ziti I have ever had in my life. The ziti was not only perfectly cooked, but the sauce - wow! It was something out of this world. The best I've ever had. I can't even properly describe how incredible it was - you have to try it for yourself! While I was waiting, someone at the bar overheard my order and told me how amazing it was and said that I am going to love it! She was absolutely right. I've also had their brick oven pizza many times - they make it fresh right in front of you in minutes and it's absolutely delicious. I can't believe how quickly they prepare such phenomenal food across the board. The prices are incredibly reasonable for such high-quality, home-cooked style food. You can absolutely really taste the care and quality in everything they make. Jeanine's is the best - I highly recommend!

Pros: I'll start off by saying the food is great! The Meat Lovers thin crust pizza is amazing as…read morewell as some other dishes. That isn't the issue with this place. Cons: I've called this place 4 times in past couple of months for a pick-up order. First time was great and picked up the food and fell in love so much so that it would be a regular on a night that I'd pick up rather than cook. Second time I called and was told to hold on and I literally timed it. After 10 minutes, no one picked up but could hear all the chatter from the bar patrons. Third time I called it was probably picked up by a bar patrons that sounded like he really enjoyed his liquids. Needless to say, he placed me down on bar and after what seemed like a few minutes, I was hung up on. The last and final time I attempted to call for pickup, no one ever picked up the phone. Final result: I believe if you plan on going up there and dealing with the wait, then the food is worth it. As for me being a regular customer, they've lost my business. If they had a working website or some other way of ordering, I may try them again. Otherwise, I won't go there unless I plan to sit and eat there or indulge at the bar: The potential for a great business is there, but maybe they only want to remain as a bar to their regulars.

I had their famous blackened steak (medium rare) which was good but I would not order it again. It looks burnt and we eat with our eyes first but the sizzling pan was a nice touch. They forgot the mushrooms and fried onions I ordered on top but did not charge for them. The steak comes with a house salad and a side (I chose mashed potatoes which were good). My friend had a colby jack burger. We loved the fries but his medium well looked like a hockey puck and came on a sandwich roll not a burger bun?! More on him as I think medium rare is the only way. He tried my steak and thought it was good too. I had a blue moon. They refilled our waters once but it took a bit long as there was not an insane amount of customers eating at lunch, just a few tables and a full bar of beer drinkers. I parked my car 2 blocks away on the street.

The blackened fish sandwich was superb, since there was cole slaw in the sandwich it would have been nice to have a side of fries or green salad instead of more slaw. The roast beef sandwich was juicy and I thoroughly enjoyed that it was on a soft and pillowy brioche roll as it soaked up the beef dip perfectly. The calamari was our favorite at brunch. The addition of fried spinach and fried tomato's and jalapeños were a nice touch with the roasted tomato marinara sauce. The cocktails were a bit weak so keep that in mind. My husband's mocktail was better tasting than my cocktail.

We were also intrigued to try the sangria that yelp raved about. We got a pitcher! It did NOT disappoint. It was a decent size pitcher for the price. Roza came to us and asked if we liked it and told us it was her recipe. No sugar ,No soda .It was tasty, thick full of fruit and definitely had liquor because I left with a buzz She also brought out the rosè for us to try pretty good too very refreshing will definitely do that one in warmer weather. I got the Dbar burger it was good but so big I didn't finish it all. My husband got the rib eye burger. He liked it but it was a little to greasy for him he didn't finish it. My 13 year old wanted breakfast.It was not in the menu but we figured we ask since it is a diner. She got pancakes with fruit and scrambled eggs. My youngest daughter got from the kids menu grilled cheese with fruit she enjoyed it so much we had to order another. Both girls for the marshmallow milkshake they LOVED it! For appetizers we got calamari good but could've used a little more breading. Also got chips with guacamole and honestly for a diner it was delicious. Everyone was friendly. Roza knew she had a bday past since we conversed for a bit and suggested we can sing her happy bday and asked what she liked I told her chocolate cake. They asked for the correct spelling of her name which I thought was sweet. Anyway the staff came out and sang with us super cool. Even the bathrooms are really clean. It was a great experience will definitely come back.I must be honest it's a hit pricey.The price for the pancakes with eggs was $23 when we saw the bill I was a little surprised. Kids' meals are $13 and I thought we were getting the cake (free,lol) since I technically didn't suggest it. It was $12 for a slice. But overall it was a pleasure she even gave us a sample of vodka with lemon and ginger which was actually good and helps settle the stomach.

The two servers/bartenders, whose names I forgot to get, were the absolute sweetest and very efficient throughout the whole event. All the guests complimented the food and left with a full stomach. 100% recommend this establishment for a date night, girls night out or a private event!
