The Spot
The Smith's River North location runs on the same wide-ranging format as the brand's other outposts — a lively, high-energy room designed to cover everything from a working lunch to a boozy brunch to late-night drinks.

A raw bar sits at one end of the menu, with rotating oysters, chilled shrimp, and tiered seafood platters like The Deluxe and The Grand. The kitchen otherwise spreads wide: burgers and a French dip on the sandwich side, pastas including short rib mafaldine and rigatoni alla vodka, composed salads like the sugar snap chicken and miso salmon, and steaks from Cedar River Farm served with a choice of sauce. Vegetable bibimbap, tuna crudo, and avocado toast round things out.

Regulars describe the food as flavorful and well-executed, with attentive service and a loyal base of repeat customers who treat it as a go-to destination in the neighborhood.
