Smyth

The 38 Best Restaurants in Chicago | Eater Chicago

"John and Karen Shields have brought their vision to life in Chicago, pushing fine dining boundaries by delivering an extravagant tasting menu. The techniques, ingredients, and service are all top-notch, and they are one of a handful of restaurants that have attained a full three-star rating from the Michelin Guide. Developing close relationships with purveyors all over the Midwest, Smyth dishes out creative dishes with fantastic produce in one of Chicago’s most expensive meals. Know before you go: Can’t get a table at Smyth? Check out the basement bar, The Loyalist. It’s more casual with quite possibly, the best bar food in Chicago. It doesn’t hurt to have access to scraps from a three-Michelin-starred restaurant." - Ashok Selvam
