Situated in the hall, at Washington Union Station, where the President's trains once stopped, B. Smith's marble interior and high ceilings can make it a noisy spot, especially during the lunch hours. Still, the well-regarded fine Southern (Cajun/Creole) cuisine continue to attract a diverse crowd of Hill staffers, local businesspeople and tourists. B. Smith's also hosts live musical performances, including a Sunday jazz brunch, and private parties for groups of 10 to 400.
