The Smith - Lincoln Square appears on OpenTable's Diners' Choice "Most Booked restaurants in Manhattan" list, and a separate OpenTable Hot Spots feature reported the restaurant was "booked 197 times today," a same-day booking-volume stat OpenTable uses to flag its busiest tables, per opentable.com.

That volume tracks with its location near Lincoln Center, where pre-performance dinner demand compresses into a narrow evening window; OpenTable's listing describes The Smith as one of four "upbeat" casual American brasserie locations across NYC, suggesting the format is built for fast turnover at scale rather than a slow sit-down.
