Choose a different place to eat leisurely. Otherwise, they will rush you and decide to put their rustic decorations over you even during slow hours.

Grilled cheese special - Cheddar, caramelized onions, and tomato jam on buttery white bread. Delicious.

Quinoa & kale salad is yum

Get the Manouri Cheese & Fig sandwich, an Arnold Palmer and watch the celebrities.

Down the street from the Bowery, the Smile is the place to feel like a hip Nolitian resident. Read more

It's hard to choose a favorite dish here, but be sure to try the salad with chicken and avocado. So scrumptious. Read more

Almost everything is great here! Make sure you try the lemonade.

Start with goat cheese and mussels. For dinner, the chicken is excellent.

Baguette French toast!

Brunch cocktails were not that good. Egg sandwich was uninspired. Ambience is very enjoyable

Cosy and interesting menu

Service was SO terrible, our waitress seemed like she couldn't wait for us to be done, always disappearing to the back exit. Food was pretty good, but we will never return due to the service.

Roast beef is delicious BUT you need to try the roasted chicken & manchego, too. Seriously.
Jordan FoxAugust 9, 2014
Espresso drinks and pastry.
Kate FurmanMarch 30, 2016
Try the lamb meatballs.

The scene is cool but the food is a bit overhyped. The chicken Harissa sandwich is hugely overrated. The bacon, however, is not.
Vladimir GarzaJanuary 27, 2013
Hidden gem. Drinks are fantastic!
Gaby GingolaJune 26, 2016
Get the baked eggs and avocado

Dont expect to find smiles in here... But food is good!
EileenJuly 26, 2017
I've only been here for drinks. Note to self: do not get the midnight rambler. My friend though the violet hour tasted like soap but I found it okay

Great egg sarnie. That's Liev Schreiber sitting in front of The Smile, scowling into his morning coffee.
Cristina Rumbaitis Del RioOctober 19, 2014
The service is really slow. No one seems to have more than 30 second recall for orders. But the food is good and the ambience is good.
Erik KayhartJune 13, 2013

Order the bacon. If you don't like it, I'll reimburse you.

Interior was a bit smelly but very cozy atmosphere

Make sure you have the extended menu that includes biscuits and baked eggs.

The Baguette French Toast is completely underwhelming and overrated. Get the buckwheat pancakes or baked eggs instead.

Saturday afternoon, didn't want to leave. Cozy + classic oldies on the stereo.

Great place for a low-key, delicious dinner. Chicken and Meatball dishes superb.
DoubleDeuceJune 16, 2013
The eggs and toast are just right.
TiffanyNovember 11, 2015
Harissa honey chicken breast sandwich
Barry BloomJanuary 8, 2015
Could we get just a regular salad here with lettuce, tomato and cucs?

My fav place for breakfast meetings. The egg sammich with ham & gruyere is tasty.

Do not leave w/out a side order of the thick slab maple-glazed bacon.
