This place is outstanding in many ways. Service is impeccable and the food is great. The little touches like the Birthday greeting card and orchid waiting on our table for my wife's birthday is a very appreciated touch touch.Look fwd to our next visit

Fried pickles (a special) were awesome. Sourdough bread is warm and delicious. Halibut was awesome; perfectly cooked, moist, tender, and flavorful. Attentive service. Homemade potato chips (at the bar, but you can ask for some at your table) are addicting!

We have been here about 10 times and generally have had pleasant meal and drinks . Tonight was a real bummer. When we made reservations we specifically asked whether there was a large party on the back patio and were told there was none . My wife and I like to sit there so we went . When we arrived a large party was seated in the back patio . So rather than leave we were seated in the front patio. The manager offered to comp us but we declined . We waited for at least 15-20 minutes on the front patio but no server came to even give us water .We paid for our parking and left .M. Forman

Great location along Lake Avenue. Food and appetizers are always good and unique. Nice crowd and normally busy. Great cocktail drinks as well as good wine selection. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Patio seating available. Parking along Lake Avenue or valet from the rear entrance.

Great restaurant with an absolutely delicious chicken pot pie! Definitely come here for special days. The service is immaculate and highly recommended. There is some street parking, valet in the back. Excellent decor that is tasteful and well fitting to the mood of the restaurant. Absolutely would visit again!

We went on a Friday evening with reservations (a must). Our reservation somehow was recorded on the wrong day so we did not have a table. However, to their credit, we did receive a table that the reservations had been cancelled. The restaurant was very loud for conversation. The food was delicious--everything was good: chicken, pork chop, stroganoff, cornbread. The service was very very slow (we waited 45-60 min for our entrees) but we were there to talk so it wasn't a deal breaker for us. Valet is available as parking can be hard to find.

If I could go 4.5 stars, I would, but better to go up than down, right? Service:5, steak:5, sides: not bad, but included. Table wine selection: 4-5. Desserts: 5. Been wanting to come here for years, we'll be backkk...

Wonderful restaurant. Very nice decor, white table cloths. Very clean and upscale. Big wall booths too. Our server was Kesha and she was a great server. She knew the restaurant, the menu and was so gracious and polite. I loved her. The food I had wad delicious. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich on a chibatta roll and it came with skinny fries that were salted just right. The chicken was spicy, crispy and juicy. It had lettuce, tomato, bacon, avacado and a spicy mayo. Loved it. Kesha told us that Smitty's owns Parkway Grill and the Chop House, which I've heard of and would love to try. Great experience.

Cornbread and calamari and shrimp appetizer was yummy. My son had the cioppino which looked very good. My husband had the ribs and was very pleased with their flavor and tenderness. My brother in law and I had the prime rib. Unfortunately we did not the best choice. My steak was tough and flavorless (cooked medium which was more like medium well).My brother in law's prime rib was also flavorless, but was cooked properly (medium rare). Waitstaff was very efficient and friendly. Wish the prime rib was cooked properly.

Pricey but the food is good and fantastic customer service. Big wine and spirits selection to choose from. Went with a friend for lunch and will be going back again soon. Two entrees, two drinks and dessert came out to $91 with tip.

The food was delicious but the portions where smaller than expected. I'm sure it a mater of quality over quantity but using there great bread to fill up worked out for me.

Dimmed lights, fancy feasts, and great service. Keisha was impressive with the menu recital; when you think you have a question she provides the answer without you needing to ask. This was my first visit at Smitty's with my fella and his parents. I'd recommend and will definitely return to indulge in different menu items.

Questions & Answers

No...

They have been open on Thanksgiving in the past but I have not seen an email from them with hours yet this year. Worth a phone call and reservations a must!

An absolutely GREAT place!

We will be open for Lunch from 11:30am-2:30pm and for regular dinner hours from 5:00pm to 9:30pm!

Do the Valet if you can, it is complimentary. You can of course park in the street but during dinner it is tough.

California casual

They have valet parking in the back of the restaurant

I personally do not serve special Thanksgiving menu, and i do not know if Smitty grill do.

Yes and they are beautiful !
