Poor food quality, temperature was luke-warm, dishes came out of kitchen at incorrect times. Server was sweet but run off her feet as only 2 servers for the entire restaurant making service quality poor. When this restaurant first opened I had 2 good experiences but it’s gone majorly downhill

I think that I must partly attribute this exciting turn of events to the rumored mysterious aphrodesiac quality of oyster, evidently cultivated in the pan-fried option at Smitty's that I shared over a few IPAs.

Warm beer on a hot day was disappointing. Our server was nice and the only good thing about our experience. Family of 5 with a toddler. We came during happy hour on Mothers Day. Fries were clearly old. They were cold and soggy and the food was subpar at best. Bar staff had no courtesy, carrying on with inappropriate conversations when children were around even taking shots with the staff. Will never come back again.

We were the first and only table in the restaurant and the food took a while to come out and one of the orders was missing. Oysters good but portions were small.

The food is good. The service not so much. We went for lunch and it was not busy (3 tables) we had to keep calling or sever over to order more items. We were trying a bit of everything. She never cake back to offer a second drink or ask if needed anything.

Second time at Smitty's and it was as good as the first time! Great food and service! Love Happy Hour! Think this is going to be the go-to for oysters and cocktails. So easy to get to the restaurant as well!

I’ve never had an oyster in my life and was excited to try Smitty’s after moving into the area. my boyfriend and I went for our anniversary and we were amazed by the quality of the drink, food and service. Our experience was exceptional and it was all thanks to hour server Maya. Couldn’t even tell she was in training, she was impeccable and we were so impressed by her that she made our whole experience. Forever now a fan of Smitty’s and oysters and will continue to come back and eat here all the time! Thank you so much for the amazing experience and wonderful service from Maya.
