Smyth Chicago

Smyth sits at 177 N Ada St, a short drive from the United Center. It currently holds three stars in the Michelin Guide and appears as number 89 on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list. The room runs smart and elegant, leaning into a modern, creative aesthetic.

Most Chicago fine dining leans on the high-gloss polish of the Loop or the lakefront, but Smyth’s location in the West Loop captures a grounded, industrial intimacy those areas miss. While its peers in the city centre compete with the noise of proximity to the Art Institute or Millennium Park, Smyth trades that scale for a focused, singular approach to its modern menu. It is for those who prefer the quiet confidence of a three-star kitchen over the predictable theatre of the city’s major landmarks.
