    The service was great! The menu was a little vague in terms of how dishes would be served, but our server answered our questions & was very friendly! Their brunch options include a specialty drink or fresh juice, which price-wise was nice! Our meal was reasonably priced, portions were a good size, and it was a cute atmosphere!

    Our server, Raul, was attentive and helpful explaining the menu. We each had the filet mignon and it was fantastic. Abundant flavor and cooked to perfection. The garlic mashed potatoes were also excellent. Ambiance is perfect for a date night or a casual get together.

    They care deeply about service at The Smith. You will feeling well taken care of. The staff and management were attentive and personable. The food was a 10. Everything from oysters to arancini, chips with blue cheese, branzino, pork chops, all perfectly cooked. I wince a little at $16.50 cocktails but that is pretty much par for a good Chicago restaurant. Entree prices were all more than reasonable. We will be back.
