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.
