Smyth is a restaurant located in Chicago,[1][2][3] currently the only one holding three Michelin stars.[4] Smyth is located on the second floor above a bar called The Loyalist also operated by Smyth's owners.[5][6]
The Michelin Guide stated in its review: "A quail egg, gently smoked and topped with caviar, is given a twist with barley caramel. Resting inside its shell, plump Maine uni, amplified with a divine peach gel and wasabi cream, is both stunning and memorable. The chef's creativity is on full display in an utterly unique Dungeness crab dish, while wagyu sided by a truffle-flavored doughnut with marrow glaze is yet another hit. Savory sweets, like new potato ice cream, a corn macaron with peppery nasturtium, or the dark chocolate tartlet studded with kombu, raise the bar."[4] Chicago magazine noted: "Every dish at Smyth flaunts deep, unforgettable flavors—some discombobulating, others harmonious. All spark genuine exhilaration, like a Halloween haunted house where the knowledge that you’re in no real danger doesn’t lessen the thrill one iota."[6] A reviewer for Condé Nast Traveller noted that Smyth offers a "more-casual-than-normal seasonal tasting menu".[5]
