• graduation party

  This was my first time here. It was for my nieces college graduation party. My brother got us a private room in the back. It was big enough for friends and family to attend. The wait staff was present and pleasant. The food was GREAT. It was a fixed menu served family style, and they just kept bringing more food, including dessert. 😋 Highly recommend this place.

• rehearsal dinner

  We hosted our rehearsal dinner here in the private area and it was a perfect night! Many of our guests (including us) had dined at The Smith in the past and we were all so impressed with how good the food was. Also, the servers were super hospitable and the space was the perfect, glowy vibe that The Smith usually provides. It was also a bonus that the back room included a microphone and PA system. All in all, really happy we had our event here!

• private room dinner, party of 15

  Hosted a dinner for 15 people in their private room. The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, the bartender was great and the waiters were attentive and intelligent. I highly recommend.

• corporate event

  Here for a corporate event. The back room setup was superb, with excellent attentive staff, good food with good variety, and efficient bartenders. Definitely will book here again.

• large group dinner, party of 11

  Great atmosphere and burgers. Poor service when it's busy- we waited an hour even with reservations. Everyone else around me was also waiting with reservations. Y'all gotta get your operations in check! Granted, we had a special request to put two parties next together, but it still shouldn't take that long (we ended up giving up on that and just sat separately). I would NOT come here with a large party (11 people) again, otherwise it's decent.
