A beautiful, historic inn in Smithville, New Jersey, it is beautifully decorated with a nice view out the back windows. Very pleasant setting for a nice dinner. It was our 58th Wedding Anniversary, so we were looking forward to a pleasant, quiet, delicious meal. I asked our Waiter, Santiago, if I could get asparagus with the Blackened Tuna, instead of Farro and Stir Fried Vegetables with Shrimp. He said yes, no problem. And I ordered the Blackened Tuna to be cooked well done. My husband ordered the Scallops, but Santiago told him they had just prepared the last of them a few minutes before. So he ordered the New York Strip Steak, medium well, even though he was very disappointed. A small sal...
This is supposed to be an area landmark restaurant, somewhere you go for a nice night out for a date or family birthday dinner. I would spend my money elsewhere. There was zero seasoning or flavoring in any of the dishes. The scallops with gouda grits sounded good on the menu, and other people have posted pics that looked appetizing, but it was extremely disappointing. The grits weren 't bad (nothing special, mind you), but the scallops and wilted spinach had no flavor at all. They were cooked properly but with not even a pinch of salt or pepper. The proscuitto sprinkled on top was hard and very chewy. Oh I almost forgot there was some sort of green sauce spritzed sparingly on top. It did no...
My dad’s 75 birthday! Pre Covid we always went to the Crab Trap and took our chances on the wait. This year our size has increased with the grands having SO’s, and we had some time constraints. We needed a place that took reservations and had a decent size filet or Prime Rib! My grandparents used to take us to Smithville Inn and Ive wanted to get back there. Tonight was the night! We were seated immediately even though the entire group had not arrived. Rose was a stellar server and did not make one single error. Not one of us had to ask for refills. The food was phenomenal and the serving sizes colossal! The bill was reasonable, tip was not automatically added. For the first time in along ti...
We had our wedding here last year. Beautiful atmosphere. The staff did an amazing job setting everything up the bartenders were amazing. Very grateful for a few things we received as well. Big downside though is we didn't get to eat our meals during the reception. I had a few bites got up from our sweet heart table our food was gone. Went up to make another plate, but the buffet was already cleaned up. We did not get to take food home. We were gifted a dessert table we asked the head waitress if she can pack a few things up for us and that seemed like it was a problem.We will definitely be back because we love the inn but this really made me upset that we spent a good amount for our wedding...

They have great reviews but I was disappointed. I had the French onion soup which looked way better than it tasted and the filet medallions. The demi glaze on the medallions was more of a gravy and the medallions were chewy and a bit fatty, neither should be the case. It was supposed to come with mashed Yukon gold potatoes but the potatoes tasted as though they had a soft cheese added and I didn't care for the tang. The service was fine and the atmosphere was nice but a bit boring. I tried it but I'm not interested in going back
The food was excellent and the service was great. The Cowboy Burger that I had was cooked the way I asked for it. Very tasty. Shared a slice of carrot cake with the wife. It was moist and not overly sweet like some tend to be. Lunch is a little less expensive than the dinner menu. Dinner menu looked very appealing, with prices ranging from in the $20 to $50 range. I plan on coming back for dinner in the near future.
I had without a doubt the best Prime Rib I have ever eaten at the inn. Amazingly tender and flavorful. The staff were courteous and accommodating. I asked for no potato and they loaded me up with delicious green beans. Amazing meal!
French onion soup, Short ribs on papadell. Nice size very filling. Salad perfect. Appetizers, Shrimp cocktail, cheese steak egg rolls. Thank you for making me gain another lb..
