- OTOpenTable DinerKansas City / Kansas •13 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe love dining at The Smith when we visit Chicago! They make us feel so welcomed and the service is always top notch. We've had five-star experiences with Nick, Coco, and Lindsey. Even the gentlemen who bus the tables are swift and thorough! The Smith really has it all - I've never had a bad dish there. Love the brick chicken, shishitos, and truffle arancini balls! Love their on tap old fashioned - the flavors are spot on. Bring back those pool party cocktails for summertime and we are golden!
