    French 75
    Kay T.

    The food, service and vibe was great. I kept it simple, 2 French 75s and avocado toast. I usually go to the Lincoln Center location but this was a nice change of pace.

    Caprese martini
    Jordan O.

    Fun spot to grab drinks after dinner! Over all a great experience we sat outside the line for another bar wraps around the block so just was a little weird, people were just standing outside next to us to our table, but not the bars is fault. Tried the Caprese martini and cucumber cooler will definitely be back to have dinner!

    Burger

    Great service. Great food. Gluten free options. They were meticulous with our allergy food order. Very comforting. The drinks were lovely. We had Gatsby and Bloody Mary. Miso Salmon was a bit salty but yummy. The signature burger was delicious. A great option for a meal when you are in the city

    Impossible burger
    Marietta C.

    Came here for a quick and super rushed dinner at the end of the night because we had drink reservations to get to and this food was absolutely delicious. Because we were rushing, we decided to order a quick impossible burger which was easy to eat and chug down. Fries were FIRE! Our friends ordered entrees and they looked SOOOOO good and couldn't stop raving about them. Everything looks fresh and delicious. Can't wait to come back and enjoy the hype of The Smith, especially for brunch! All this to say, that even on a rush, the food here is amazing.

    Shishito Peppers
    Caitlin K.

    Ambiance is nice, but LOUD. Great place for larger parties, so the noise makes sense. I don't think the wait staff is inattentive, but they cover large areas, so it just takes them awhile to fulfill requests. Mac n Cheese hands down was the best dish I ordered. It was perfectly cheesy, with a delicious crisp cheese layer on top, gooey cheese inside, and served at the perfect temperature. I ate half of it before touching anything else. The chicken nuggets are made from dark meat and are tender and juicy, but do not have much flavor without the Asian sauce. The shishito peppers are cooked perfectly, but I didn't love the mayonnaise-esque sauce they were smothered. The flavor of the peppers was so good with just the spices that I scraped as much of the sauce off as I could. I would go back to try the burger that everyone writes such god reviews about!

    We were looking for a brunch spot that could seat a large group. This place came up and it was opentable accessible. They have ample seating both indoor and outdoor! They have lots of unique brunch specials. The one that caught everyone's eyes was the vodka sauce eggs! It comes with 2 baked eggs and a creamy vodka sauce. It also has some spinach on the side to add a little healthiness to it. They start you off with a table side bread and butter while you wait for your meal. I got the rancheros. It has beans, avacodo and jalapeños to add a little kick. It was a little excessive on the cilantro taste but they have a homemade salsa that balances it better. The kids enjoyed the butter pasta, and the macaroni and cheese was also devoured. Other kids loved the fluffy buttermilk pancakes. The bathroom is downstairs which is a little annoying but they have a cool little photo booth and neat shared vibe. The service was nice and fast and pretty attentive. The prices are not too bad for a nyc restaurant either.

    Chopped salad

    The chopped salad is incredible! Will definitely order again! Service was a little slow but they were PACKED!

    Roasted Tomato soup
    Francis S.

    Love this location of The Smith. The restaurant layout is so cool and open. It was a super cold day so I ordered some coffee, which was decent. The table ordered the Calamari and the roasted tomato soup as starters. The Calamari was tender and flavored well. The soup was okay, I wasn't the biggest fan of the cheese but thats just a preference. The fish sandwich was so fresh. The salad on top of the chicken was so seasoned so well. The food overall, was good. My waiter was so sweet and brought me a chocolate chip cookie for my bday! It was a great day!

    Chocolate Cake

    Overall, I enjoyed the Smith. The atmosphere is very lively, the service was great, and the food pretty good. I know they're known for their cocktails, but after 3 days of drinking at every meal, I was boozed out. I loved that they keep bottles of sparkling water at the table. I was downing it I ordered the pasta with short rib and my daughter ordered the vodka rigatoni with added shrimp. While I liked both, both needed salt. I'm not someone who typically salts my food beyond a recipe. I don't even own a salt shaker. But our pasta was a bit bland. All that said, my short ribs were cooked perfectly. I never know if I'm going to regret ordering short ribs because sometimes they are chewy or stringy. These were "melt in your mouth" perfect We couldn't help but order chocolate cake before we left. It's a love of my daughter's. I took several bites. Layered with mouse and topped with ganache, it was quite decadent. I couldn't have eaten the whole thing. --too rich. But really delicious. Very shareable.

    My friend recommended The Smith as a NYC must try. We came after our hyrox event and were famishes so stakes were high. I got the citybird mocktail, oysters, and the prime rib pasta. The oysters were scrum, a bit on the pricier side but can't really complain about a good oyster. I loved the pasta. I'm not usually one to order pasta out but our waiter recommended it and he did not fail me. It was the perfect al dente and the ragu was rich and meaty. My friend got a burger with truffle fries and she enjoyed her meal as well. The interior was pretty and could easily be a casual dinner or something more. I appreciated our server's recommendations and knowledge of the menu. The service was quite attentative, with other servers also stepping in to help refill waters and clear plates throughout dinner.

    I have mixed feelings about The Smith, but three stars feels fair -- maybe even a touch generous. We booked a table for eight for a family brunch to celebrate my wife's 40th, so expectations were (understandably) high. Let's start with what they absolutely get right. The ambiance is fantastic -- very 1920s, F. Scott Fitzgerald energy -- and it works. The interior design team clearly put serious thought into creating something transportive and polished. It feels intentional, not accidental. The cocktails? Genuinely phenomenal. The Oaxacan Sunshine was a standout -- bright, balanced, and memorable. My wife's Frozen Pool Party tasted like something straight out of a Death & Co. mixology finals round. Creative, refined, and just plain fun. The food was also impressive. The menu strikes a nice balance between healthier options and indulgent brunch staples, and everything we ordered delivered both in flavor and presentation. Which is why it's frustrating to say the service didn't live up to the rest of the experience. We were seated at a table set with visibly dirty dishes -- traces of butter still on the plates. I quietly mentioned it to the server. He inspected them, said nothing, removed them... and never brought replacements or acknowledged the miss. No quick apology, no "we'll fix that right away," nothing. It made me wonder how dishes leave the kitchen that way, washed by one person, set by another, without anyone noticing. It felt either like a simple mistake or a breakdown in attention to detail. And on a milestone birthday brunch, that lack of care stands out. The Smith has the atmosphere, the drinks, and the food to be exceptional. I just wish the service matched the level of everything else.

    Second time here Very festive - I got the vegetarian bibimbap (1/5), and the burger royale. My friend really enjoyed the burger.

    For the second consecutive year, The Smith delivered an excellent Thanksgiving pre-fixe three course meal. Again, we reserved (more than a month in advance) a table at the Nomad location. And again, it was a busy holiday affair. Our server was very welcoming and on point answering questions and making recommendations. Their 3 course pre-fixe meal was $88 not including additions , beverages, gratuity and taxes. We started off with the Sparkling Cosmo (I'm sure Carrie Bradshaw would approve) and later, a bottle of Beginnings Orange Wine from Italy. All very good. For appetizer, I chose Butternut Squash Soup ( creamy and decadent) while the other two selections were Gnocchi with a Truffle Cream Sauce. Could have kicked myself for not ordering this one. I'm not a huge Gnocchi fan but theirs was to die for. We all chose the Traditional Turkey Breast meal: white meat on a bed of spinach and mashed potatoes. Included for the table was: Brussel Sprouts, Stuffing and Cranberry Sauce. Everything very very good. Here is the overall sentiment of my group and a gripe--the "for the table" servings were very small. If you're a party of more than 2, the serving of stuffing and Cranberry Sauce isn't satisfying. In my opinion, they should serve the turkey on top of stuffing instead of mashed potatoes. Thanksgiving is all about the stuffing and no one wants a skimpy serving. Unless you have a low appetite, the side servings were just too small. I had to ask for gravy twice in addition to more stuffing which took a while to be brought to the table. And the Cranberry Sauce was maybe a few tablespoons in terms of portion size. I think The Smith should do things differently considering the price point. I love this restaurant and their other locations, but I'm not sure I'll return again next year for Thanksgiving. It was the same last year. Those in my party felt the same. Among the three of us we spent almost $500 including tip. Lost one star for this reason. And it's kind of a big deal.

It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables.
