    We had a blast! 7 year old leans over to me mid lunch, "you're right, this place is pretty cool". FYI its kinda chilly, dress warm if you sit in the tent.

    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.

    Had a 6PM reservation and waited 45 minutes for our table. Kept being asked if we wanted a high top near the entrance but we made this reservation a few months in advance and one of the guest was 8 months pregnant so wanted a regular table in the back. Unfortunate experience. Been many times and never experienced this. No apologies for the wait. Bummer!

    We hosted a holiday event at Harry Caray's at Navy Pier and enjoyed the outdoor curling lane and igloo along with fire pit. It was easy to order food / drink and take in the festive lights and environment. We played a few rounds of curling, took pictures and warmed up using the Winter Lodge within the restaurant. The service and food was great and our group had an outstanding experience!
