The Smith
Egalitarian East Village spot turns out crowd-pleasing brasserie plates with personality. This East Village brasserie makes the most of its former Pizzeria Uno space. Subway-tile walls and retro black-and-white portraits set a smart Gotham tone without being too gimmicky, and while the restaurant may not be as hip as other neighborhood entries, it offers an all-embracing attitude toward its clientele.
The kitchen maintains consistency with brasserie plates that are tweaked enough to keep the meal interesting. A pot of mussels benefits from a mustard-laced broth, while the string bean salad has a vivacious snap, enhanced by fresh ingredients like ricotta salata. Meat dishes threaten to be heavy but stay light on their feet, with a Parmesan crust lending extra spark to a juicy lamb schnitzel, and a red wine sauce subtly amplifying the flavor of tender braised short ribs. Desserts are limited to creative riffs on sundaes; the bread pudding variety offers a grown-up twist on the banana split.
Hits: While drink prices elsewhere creep into the teens, the cocktails here are all under $10.
Misses: Service runs pretty smoothly considering the size, but sometimes entrees come out before the apps are cleared.
Save Money
On Sunday nights, a burger and a beer goes for $12.
What to DrinkThe cocktails appeal to adult tastes with choices like the Cucumber Loco (a margarita made with muddled cucumber) and the Red Stone, prepared with bourbon and blood orange juice.
The ExtrasFor dinner and a movie, catch a flick at the AMC theater across the street.
