FINALLY, some unique foods....we split a burger which was nice and charcoly-crusty all around....and the poutine and the devils on horseback. We were STUFFED. the poutine was great, it sounds more gut-busting than it actually was. the devils on horseback were rich and tiny, a good cut to the other fried foods. I'll definelty be back. the booths are comfy.

I can't put my finger on it, but something about Smith weirds me out/annoys me. Maybe because its trying so hard to be obviously cool, with all the taxidermy on the walls and the trying-to-be-offbeat bar menu (I mean seriously, duck tongues??). And the ceilings are really high, so it doesnt have the coziness of King's or Linda's. That said, I still end up here all the time and I never have a bad night. It's a pretty decent bar. And they have Leffe on tap. Just avoid the weirder menu items and go for the stellar burger.

How can you go your whole life not eating a food and then once you eat it you can't understand how you got along without it? Thank you Smith for bringing poutine into my life. Along with the fried duck leg, my wintertime comfort food menu is set. The bar, like it's cousins King's and Linda's, is well set up and the service is great. Blessed are the folks at the top of Capitol Hill who can call this their local but I'll be making the regular trip across town.

What a great bar. 15th really needed a "pub" to just go hang out at. The staff seemed to be having fun while working. I don't see that very often. I had the pork sandwich which was so good I went back the next day and had it again. The server told that the chef makes everything in house. So now I have to go back and have the pasta dish. When the dark, cold, wet nights get here this place will make you feel all cozy.

A comfortable place to eat, drink, and be seen. Not your typical bar food either. I mean, where else can you find deviled eggs, a fried duck leg, and amazingly fresh and simple green beans that make you want to thank your mom for insisting that you eat your veggies? A huge selection of beers from breweries right here in seattle to as far away as Poland! There is also a nice and concise wine list that won't leave you disappointed. If a stiff drink is what you are after, the friendly bar staff will be happy to mix up your drink of choice. And the community tables offer the chance to make new friends or slide into a booth and watch the entertaining crowd which is a nice mix of the twenty somethings you expect to see on pike/pine and the rest of us that populate the hill. If you must be "seen", grab a table in front of the giant garage door that looks onto the street. A giant, gaping hole on 15th has FINALLY been filled.

No need to eat overpriced food at Smith. The food is more of a novelty than actual food. The trout is the size of a goldfish and served without any side items for $12. The eggs, while novel, are $6 for 1.5 actual eggs. Go by for a drink to check out the scene but only have a beer, everything else is overpriced and not worth it. Perhaps Linda's 3 (or 4?) is beginning to think a bit too much of themselves.
Pros: A new scene in a good spot.
Cons: Overpriced, trying too hard.

Good ambience and beer/liquor/food selection. A much needed addition to 15th Ave and good alternative to the increasingly developed and B&T Pike/Pine.
