    Great restaurant! Was there to celebrate my birthday, and they were so sweet and made it very special. Had a friend who has a severe allergy, and they were very very VERY accommodating and took extra precautions to make sure she felt safe eating everything. Food is top notch - absolutely can't go wrong

    The apple tart dessert was terrible. Whoever thought of putting cream cheese icing on an apple pie! Ruined it. Otherwise good was very good, the server was 5 star all the way.

    Normally, I love the Smith. It was St. Patrick’s Day, really fun. Because the day was nice, they had it opened all the doors so it was open air. Normally I’d love this but by the time we arrived, it was in the high 50s and the restaurant was freezing inside. My friend and I asked if they could close the doors and we said we didn’t bring coats. They said come on at Chicago - You should always bring a coat. - but I didn’t know I needed it for my indoor dinner reservation! It was quite busy and I don’t feel like they had their normal good service. Won’t keep me from going back cause I love the restaurant, but tonight was not their best.

    It was St Patrick’s Saturday and thus the area was overrun with green-clad revelers, and the restaurant was super busy. We happened to arrive early for our reservation but they took us right in. Service was prompt, food came out quickly and was delicious. This is a favorite place of ours, and even when they were super busy, they delivered as expected.

    To be fair we were there the weekend of St. Patrick's Day and it was crazy busy. We did make reservations and had to change due to not being able to get over the bridge. Super flexible and when we arrived early they sat us right away. Server was very attentive even though he was incredibly busy. Paper Plane cocktail was yummy and we both enjoyed our brunch entrees. Will come back when in Chicago
