The Smith - New York (NY)

5 /5 Nicole Rosales: Great place for brunch! The interior is very aesthetically pleasing, and the holiday decorations were a nice touch. I ordered the baked eggs alla vodka. The hot chocolate latte and matcha latte were my favorite drinks! As well as the cinnamon donuts (we had two orders of them). They also have a Photo Booth downstairs in the bathroom. We were in a rush, but we will definitely try it out next time!

5 /5 Sebastian Botero: I visited The Smith NoMad on a rainy Sunday evening during a long weekend, and it turned out to be a great choice. We had a 9 PM reservation and were seated promptly. The restaurant had a lively yet relaxed vibe, not too crowded, not too quiet, which made for a cozy and welcoming atmosphere despite the weather. We ordered the Mediterranean salad with salmon and a shrimp cocktail. The salmon was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with the fresh, flavorful salad. The shrimp cocktail looked small at first, but it was surprisingly satisfying, ideal if youre looking for a light starter. For drinks, we tried the New York Sour and the Spiced Pear Margarita. Both were excellent: the New York Sour was well-balanced and not overly sweet, while the margarita had a soft, fruity twist that was refreshing and smooth. Service was attentive and friendly throughout. Our server made sure we were well taken care of without being intrusive. The space was clean and well-maintained, including the restrooms, which is always a good sign of overall care and quality. Overall, The Smith delivered a lovely dining experience with great food, delicious cocktails, and warm service. Whether youre out for a casual dinner or celebrating something special, it’s a solid spot in NoMad worth checking out.

5 /5 Tom Garcia: Came here for a Saturday late summer brunch and was pleased as punch on all fronts. Just as you walk in, youre greeted with an almost speakeasy style type of decor with tiled floor and a grand looking bar, but they dont keep quite so serious. We did have a reservation, but I dont think we necessarily would have needed one for the three of us, the place is quite spacious and accommodating, even with some outdoor options. Starting with cocktails, as it was a boozy brunch, I had to try their signature and mysterious bloody Mary, which was quite tasty and certainly not like any other bloody Mary Ive had before. This one was actually more refreshing! Im usually a one and done when it comes to a BM, but I could have had a few of these, but I had a long day ahead of me. We followed that up with splitting an order of Mac and cheese, which was just as cheesy and delicious as I would have hoped. For the main course, I went with their eggs Ala vodka, a tasty twist on shakshuka that I will happily be adding into my own recipe arsenal. All of it paired with some delicious bread that made mopping up all the sauce and cheese all the better! Wait staff was also very friendly and quick to get to us and entertain all of our questions that we had about the menu. Price is a little on the higher side, especially with smaller portions than some places, but midtown Manhattan is rarely kind to a persons wallet, especially when it comes to a good meal. Brunch may have just been the beginning, but I certainly would love to come back here for more and certainly try more of their cocktails too.

5 /5 Glenn: What a treat to get to one of the NYC icons of dining with family and friends from out of town. A nice breakfast. Hot coffee! Cornbread provided as an extra! Delicious! Reasonable pricing (but it is NYC!). Go for it!

4 /5 Lesya Khovan: Had a bit of a mixed experience here. Despite having a reservation, our table wasnt ready and they had to scramble to add chairs for us. The bigger issue was the cleanliness—one of our appetizer plates still had leftovers on it from a previous guest. The waiter swapped it out, but it’s hard to shake that sour taste once it happens. We also found a cocktail fork buried at the bottom of our mussel dish, which was strange. The food was actually great and the timing was good, but between the seating and the dirty plate, I dont think Ill be returning. I really appreciated they gave crayons and a coloring for page for my kids.
