Smiths of Smithfield Top Floor review by Mark Bent
I was very excited about going to Smiths of Smithfield on a recent weekend break to London. Having read the great write-up in Olive magazine. However, I must say that my partner and I were a bit disappointed. The atmosphere was quite stark and echoee and you could hear all the noise from the kitchen. Some music might have helped. The starters were good. However there was no fillet steak on the menu only 2 sirloin and 2 rump steaks (sourced from different farms). We both ordered sirloin at £28 each and were a bit disappointed. Both were quite fatty and it was quite tough to get at all the meat. However, the potatoes were just fantastic. The desert menu was also a little disappointing for a Saturday night and we left the dinner table directly after the main meal. In total we spent £150 including a half bottle of Chablis and a bottle of Bordeaux. Which we both felt was a little steep. The Cocktail bar downstairs was good as was the ground floor bar. I would go again but would avoid the Top Floor as I don’t think its good value. Try the dinning room instead. So in summary Smiths is a good place but the Top Floor is a disappointment. We went to Galvins on Sunday evening and had a much better meal with Champagne for £30 less
