The Smith
Chicago
Recenzje
I was smitten with the Smith yesterday evening as i was craving for some Americana food. Great location, cute interior and broad selection of food which we all should enjoy sparsely but can taste so good in the moment. I arrived pretty late but still got the full attention of the lovely waitress behind the bar. A cocktail, some M&C and some mussels with fries later and life felt wonderful until the endless motorcycle parade / demonstration changed the vibe. Nevertheless, good grub for the right moment
Service and food were great! Our server helped with recommendations that were spot on. My rib eye was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The space a loud. Ever when we first arrived and the restaurant was not that full with all hard surfaces means you do need to really speak up. It looked like they have a few tables that are more incloses and that may make a difference but just be aware that you conversation will need to match the room. Absolutely would return.
From the moment we walked in, everything was exceptional. The restaurant was extremely clean, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the service was top notch! We started with the Spicy Salmon Tartare, and it was absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, and the perfect appetizer. For drinks, I had the Cucumber-Pineapple Mimosa and a Bloody Mary, and both were fantastic. The mimosa was refreshing and unique and the Bloody Mary was perfect and full of flavor. For my main meal I ordered the filet mignon Steak cooked medium rare with sunny side up eggs, home fries, and hollandaise sauce. The steak was cooked beautifully!! Very tender and melted in my mouth and so full of flavor. A huge shoutout to our server, Zach. He was truly amazing! He was attentive to every need and so friendly. He made sure we never had an empty drink. Our water and sparkling water were constantly refreshed, and our empty plates were cleared almost immediately. I also want to recognize Eric, the General Manager, and Kiffa, the manager, who both stopped by our table and introduced themselves to us throughout our meal to make sure everything was perfect. The restaurant was busy, but you never would have known it because of the level of hospitality. It really stood out and made us feel valued that we were there. Sorry for the long review.. But finally, compliments to the chef and culinary team. Whoever created this menu did an outstanding job and deserves recognition as well. Every dish and drink was thoughtfully prepared. We were a party of five, and everyone ordered something different, yet every single item was beautifully presented. The food, drinks, service, and hospitality were all outstanding. The Smith exceeded our expectations and we will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!
Genuinely such flavorful and well presented food! The restrooms are super cute and there is a black and white photo booth outside the restroom as well! I got the grilled chicken sandwich and my boyfriend got the burger with the home fries (which are basically seasoned diced potatoes). We also ordered the breakfast sandwhich and the pancakes—which were GREAT.
Came here for our wedding anniversary, it was Tuesday but the place was packed. I ordered their mussels and loved the flavor, a bit spicy, my husband ordered their steak which had peppercorns, he loved it. Food is definitely well priced for the quality. I loved their side of fries too. The service was great, our server was friendly and attentive.
