The Smith was amazing as it always is. This was the completion of our mission to go to every location. I will put Chicago as number 3 after Nomad and Lincoln Center. Allison was great it was a great experience overall!

Food was excellent! Some of the best grits that I have ever had! The frozen paradise colada drink was to die for. And we had a wonderful server, Mara. She was very friendly, energetic, and efficient! The food came out in a very timely manner, and we enjoyed everything from the calamari to our omelettes And drinks! it’s a must if you go to Chicago!

This is the most consistently fantastic American restaurant in Chicago. All of the staff are genuinely enthusiastic about the food and are beyond accommodating. They really go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. The food is truly unmatched. Those chefs do not miss. There’s not a bad item on the menu, nor a less than lovely server in the restaurant. We had a great night thanks to Daniel (DCB), who was absolutely wonderful.
