M J Smith's Food & Spirits — Restaurant in New York

My friends and I had a fun time at their retrobar 80s, 90s and 2000s night. A few mins after we left, I noticed my wallet was missing. We went back and left no stone unturned to look for it for 1.5 hours. The next day, a credit card of mine was used. I reported it to NYPD (whose work was impressive) and went through a nightmare of having to fly home with no ID and no $$ in NYC. Two weeks later, I received a call from the bar that my wallet had miraculously turned up during cleaning (do they only clean every two weeks?) and I was asked to “please let NYPD know and close the case.” I asked a friend who lives in NYC to pick it up for me since I live out of town and even though she had a picture of my ID and I called ahead to let them know she’d be coming, they refused to give it to her. She rode the train for 40 mins with her baby on a windy day to pick it up. I called the bar very upset and they finally released my property.

Food: overpriced and very bland. Veterans Day Parade after party Drinks: great and manhattan prices $20, I stuck to beers and a couple shots with my Military brothers.

Note: they include gratuity!

Overall i think it’s a potential good spot for me to go for Happy Hour (if they have one, didn’t see any signage) for drinks and watch a game but no food....

I literally had the best fish and chips I've ever had in my life. The Cod was flaky White and fresh. The coating was extra crispy and delicious. Everything was great and the Guinness was delicious as well. I don't know what they did but there was something extra delicious about this place. Derek was the bartender and waiter and was very helpful and the service was excellent. My husband had the burger and it was thick and juicy and perfectly cooked and seasoned and the roll was perfect. I know I'm being redundant buti...
