    Wonderful interior and very fun for happy hour or boisterous night out! Also great servers. We went with family members and it was super loud, so it was very hard to hear for them to hear and participate in conversation. May be hard for any dinner occasions that require quiet conversation.

    Overpriced, poor quality food. Asked server for basic drinks, incorrect 2 times when brought to table. Asked for dressing on side of salad, brought dressed. Ordered burger, got veggie burger. Not even thought by server of manager to comp any part of meal. This place is a waste of time and $$. Best thing was stopping at Levain next door after dinner for cookies. Stay away from this place

    We love this place. We come every year when in town. Have to give a shoutout to Wilson and Coco for going above and beyond. They truly made our evening an experience and we are thankful. We will definitely be back!

    I am big fan of The Smith, the Chicago one was a big disappointment for the following reasons: 1)Main server was annoying and not customer centric. Lacked critical thinking skills. We had a speaker and she interrupted to ask for orders. 2)General Manager came over to speak to me to unauthentically express she was concerned we did not order when she wanted us to. 3)The machine to pay the bill did not work and a new machine had to be brought over The Smith-Midtown in NY is the BEST!!!! The Smith-Chicago can learn a thing or two or three or four from NYC!

    Service was excellent, our waiter went over the menu and recommended some items for us which was helpful. The food and drinks were delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting and the noise level wasn't too loud.
