Arthur On Smith will be located at 276 Smith Street between Sackett and Degraw Streets in Carroll Gardens. According to their website, the restaurant will be opening this March, serving "seasonal American" cuisine with "Italian influences."
Of course, the quest for a liquor license is never easy. The committee’s recommendations still have to be approved by the executive committee and the Community Board before going to the State Liquor Authority.
