i went there a couple times last summer...i wouldn't get too excited about going there...it serves decent college pub food, perhaps a slight cut above average, and it's a mellow enough place to grab a drink and a snack...but there it's anything i tried that i'd go out of my way to eat again...

Just posted this review on the restaurant burger posting, but thought I'd add it here too.
I just enjoyed a great burger tonight at The Smith...it was $14, but if I had dined after 5pm, they have a Sunday dinner deal where you pay $15 for the same burger with a beer included. The burger had a white cheddar and great, smoky bacon. It also came with an In-n-Out style sauce, which I requested on the side. The waiter described it as a ketchup-mayo, but it was definitely more thousand island-y. The sauce made for a great dipping sauce for the fries that came alongside the burger (included in the price). The bun was brioche I'm pretty sure, and it was really buttery and flavorful. The burger itself was a big piece of meat, cooked to the right temperature, and pretty juicy. They also bring free bread before the meal that's actually really tasty! I'm not one to pay this much for a burger regularly, but for a splurge it's pretty solid. I also liked the ambiance of the room, I didn't feel like we were sitting right on top of other customers, which tends to be the case in most Manhattan restaurants.

The Jalepeno cheddar grits are phenomenal I like them best with the short ribs or the burger.

ummm...Ricotta Gnocchi with Truffle Cream. If you are going to The Smith, you are ordering the gnocchi. It's that simple. This dish is what keeps me coming back for more. Get it as an appetizer to split.
also Steak Salad...entree sized salad is as good as it gets in the steak salad department. The steak is cooked perfectly medium rare and is complimented with arugula, endive, and tomatoes, and a thick balsamic dressing. good stuff.
also, Short Ribs...I've eaten this dish probably about ten times and think about it daily. There should be an East Village short rib throw down between The Smith and Tree.
