I love this restaurant. Every single dish I’ve tried of theirs is outstanding. Their vegetable bibimbap is incredibly flavorful, with the perfect rice texture, and had me thinking about for months afterwards. Their spicy shrimp scampi is also incredible. The sauce is to die for and the noodles were cooked to just the right consistency. There are also little crunchy bits for an extra sprinkle of delight. My friend got their late night spaghetti, and our respective dishes so completely captivated us that we were near silent the entire time we were eating. We also enjoyed their shrimp cocktail, which was chewy and fresh and served with two refreshing sauces.
Their dessert, also, is worth trying. The quarter pounder cookie is lovely, complete with gooey melty chocolate, but I also have to make a case for their apple pie. The crust is cookie-like in texture, which I enjoyed, and the apple compote is super delicious.
Would highly recommend stopping by The Smith if you get the chance!! Their service is also very attentive and friendly, and the whole restaurant is a good vibe.

I ordered Braised Short rib Malfadine, Oysters of the day and PEI Muscles. The service was great, my waiter was friendly, gave me a rundown of the menu and checked on me consistently without overdoing it. The meat in the Malfadine was oh so tender, breaking apart under the weight of my tongue, and the flavor fills your mouth making you love every bite. The sauce is warm and delicious, filled with seasoning and bits. The Oysters were a new experience for me, but they exceeded my expectations. The Muscles came in a buttery sayce with toasted bread on the side for dipping. I almost ordered another bowl. And they bread paired beautiful with the sauce from both the Malfadine ans the Oysters. I will DEFINITELY be returning and I will be bringing friends next time.

Had brunch here on January 3rd which was Saturday and Tiffany H took care of us it was perfect! Genuinely can say one of the best brunches I’ve ever had. From great service to the food being executed perfectly. Cucumber & pineapple mimosa was so good plus everything we ordered. Can’t wait to be back!

The Smith had something for everyone here. Staff was attentive and pleasant. The food was all around pretty great, very, very flavorful. The burger was a little messy to eat. We ordered the burger medium and it was definitely medium-rare. The medium rare flat iron was more rare than medium, but still had great flavor. Would have liked the burger to have been cooked a bit more (no pink for medium). Loved the atmosphere, not too loud.

Service and atmosphere were great, but the food left a lot to be desired. I ordered the Smith Eggs Benedict. It was okay, but not particularly memorable. I’ve had some excellent eggs Benedicts back home in Toronto, and this one didn’t measure up. The home fries were salty, and I could only manage a few bites.
My friend ordered the eggs and bacon and found the bacon chewy and the eggs too set and cheesy. She expected a soft scramble, but it was an omlette with cheese, which could’ve been communicated or clarified by asking how she likes her eggs prepared.
It would’ve been nice to have the option to swap the home fries for a salad or fresh fruit. We didn’t get a chance to share this feedback in person since we were flying out shortly after our meal, but I wanted to mention it here in hopes it’s helpful for the restaurant to improve. Overall, it was a bit disappointing and didn’t feel worth the price, especially paying in USD. Neither of us really liked the brunch we got all too much.
My friend, who’s a chef, had spoken highly of The Smith, so I came in with high expectations. Maybe the experience varies depending on the chef on duty. We visited for Sunday brunch on October 26 and I hope next time I’m in Chicago I can have a better experience here if dining here again.

Definitely one of the best brunch spots in Chicago. The Bloody Mary is one of my favorites ever! Service is absolutely impeccable! The Christmas decor is cute and location is perfect! Loved their breakfast sandwich and shrimp cocktail. Oysters were fresh too! The French onion dip is excellent! Best testament? I’m not a French toast fan but devoured this one! I could go on and on but please visit!

Really wonderful restaurant with tons of options. The bartender was top notch, the pasta was incredible. The house hot sauce for their oysters was a nice surprise.
Hot Todddy at the end of the meal made for a great evening.

This was not our first visit and will not be our last! The staff is always helpful. The location is great. Atmosphere is beautiful, both inside and on the patio. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or evening bites and bevies. The avocado toast is fantastic, as well are the espresso martinis! Highly recommend.

The ambience is nice, easy going, spacious, various seating styles and plenty of seats and some have hooks under the tables for your bag, dim lights. The food is okay. I loved the idea of veges inside the calamari dish but i only liked the zucchini bc it was not crispy but the other veges were salty all crispy but the breading of the calamari was not crispy or light for the maybe 8 calamari ring pieces that werent fried to a crisp. There were so few pieces of actual calamari for $19. There were the baby full pieces w legs but they were air fried to a crisp so that none of those pieces were chewy … just crunchy. So it tasted like just potato crisps that looked like calamari. So i was still hungry when usually a plate of fried calamari would have filled me up. The drinks were good. Overall it’s a great atmosphere nice for crowds of family and friends when you are out late and the wait staff are attentive and friendly.

We came here for brunch, cool place gives modern diner vibes. Nice indoor and outdoor areas. Service was fast. We ordered the shrimp and grits and the Benedict Johnny. Food was different and tasty but the portions are smaller so you won’t get full if you have a big appetite, the also serve east coast oysters which are delicious , not very grainy, pretty perfect and subtle actually. They put both still and sparkling water on your table which was great, my mimosa was delicious I got the passion fruit orange. My Hubby got the Bloody Mary and was not a fan surprisingly and he is a hugeee Bloody Mary person. He said it’s not loaded (only came with a pepper, olive, and a lemon), was not flavorful but DID have the spicy kick of a Bloody Mary , and the Bloody Mary mix was a thinner consistency. Overall, good spot and everyone has their own preference so definitely check it out.
