Now from Beatrice Inn (and Employees Only) partner Matt Abramcyk comes another contender for top hipstaurant — this one occupying a former carriage house in the Tribeca nether lands.
Smith and Mills is fabulous and humble, chic and comfortable. The service is excellent--friendly and speedy-- so don't be dissuaded by the dis someone posted. Drinks aren't cheap, but they are on par...
and S &M may have the coolest bathroom in NYC.
I don't know what punch you guys were drinking but Alaska (yes I asked her name) is no Debbie Downer.
I have taken friends and family to Smith & Mills since day one and she has always been lovely. She said that the whole staff now calls her 'that waitress' after your comments. Poor lamb!
Ok, she does say 'like' alot but the sheer genius of Alaska is that she says things such as, "Like that fish is filleted and the Sancerre is like totally crisp!"
She is a major foodie and can break down that menu with more gusto than Amy Winehouse can break down a crack pipe.
My food was amazing and who doesn't like taking a waz in an elevator?
Thumbs up boys!
