Located in the heart of Chicago’s River North neighborhood,home to clubs and business apartments alike,comes The Smith,a New York and Washington D.C.-based restaurant that is now calling Chicago one of its new homes. Focused mainly on American dishes,The Smith has also added some fancy new international dishes to its lineup.
The location on Clark St. is perfect for residents of the area’s nearby temporary housing units and downtown office workers alike. If you’re like many people in the city of Chicago,you may be interested to hear that The Smith plans to offer great happy hour specials for people to take advantage of after work,and that’s not all. Private parties and other events will be great for those of you who like to entertain guests and coworkers in settings outside of the standards in Downtown Chicago.
Despite the fact that the restaurant wasn’t created in Chicago or by a Chicagoan,owner Jeff Lefcourt plans to make residents feel at home at The Smith. In addition to planning regional dishes,Lefcourt also intends to have plenty of local beers on tap for local beer lovers who want to support midwest breweries.
When The Smith opened up back in 2001,the menu was great,but it has evolved a lot since then. For example,a new raw bar that is a integral part of the menu didn’t exist back in 2001. One thing that hasn’t changed is the fries – something the restaurant is known for,and it’s all thanks to the Idaho potatoes they always purchase. To bridge the gap between New Yorkers who love thin crust pizza,and Chicago residents who swear by the city’s deep dish alternative,The Smith will serve up pizza in pans,a halfway point between the two distinct and delicious style.
