Chicago's Best New Restaurants Of 2016 - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Smyth is an upscale tasting menu restaurant that wants you to feel relaxed, as if you were eating at a friend's house. There won't be a giant bowl of peanut M&M's or Doritos sitting on the table, but the husband and wife duo running the place do manage to make it feel homey. But for as comfortable as the ambience is, the the food will keep your head on a swivel. We've been thinking about their tomato mousse concoction for a while, and we hope they never get rid of the rich Dungeness crab and foie gras. If you can handle the cost, the eight ($135) or twelve-course ($195) tasting menus at the Smyth are absolutely a smart move." - sam faye
