    The service was great, and we ordered the strip steak and baby back ribs and they were FABULOUS! They truly have their meat seasoning down to a science. They did not take a pre-loaded visa card but that was no big deal. 10/10 recommend!

    The server checked up on us often. Gave his honest opinion which helped a lot on choosing what to order. Also the chocolate Birthday cake they gave my boyfriend for his birthday was amazing and it was on the house! Everybody was so nice and the food was great! Don’t forget to try the photo booth downstairs😊

    Scheduled a reservation for New Years and had to wait over 30 minutes for us to be seated because it seems like they overbooked. Service was also slow, but the food was good and they took off an order to try and compensate. We missed the New Years Celebration on the Chicago Riverwalk because of this however.

    We went there solely for the Smith Burger. It was as expected - excellent. The appetizer and drinks/cocktails were very good.
