Smyth, from Chefs John Shields and Karen Urie Shields, has officially earned a three MICHELIN starred status through the MICHELIN Guide for 2024 and 2025.
“It’s a distinct honor to be recognized with three stars from MICHELIN,” said Chef John Shields. “I’ve made it my life’s work to create transcendent culinary experiences that guests will never forget. We have the best team in the world here at Smyth and I’m proud to share this recognition with them.”
Courses at Smyth are served with the fine products nature has to offer, grown in close collaboration with small farmers and select meat purveyors. The menu culminates in a series of sweet servings that carefully walk the fine line between providing something new while also bringing a sense of the familiar.
“Being a part of the three MICHELIN star team at Smyth is a tremendous honor,” said Wine Director and Assistant General Manager Louis Fabbrini. “Just as the kitchen works with the best farmers and producers across the country, the wine team extends this philosophy globally, building relationships with artisans and winemakers who share our dedication to excellence and authenticity. These connections deepen the story we tell at Smyth, uniting food and wine in a way that feels both integral and unexpected.”
“I often think about how our approach to hospitality stands out from other MICHELIN-starred restaurants throughout Chicago and the world. I can best describe our service as technically proficient and purposefully perfect, but riding alongside that is the more important rail of empathy, listening, validating and ultimately fulfilling guest's needs,” says Christopher Gerber, Director of Operations and Partner at Smyth, adding, “Our dining room disarms our guests, and we do the rest, which allows us to contour a unique and memorable experience for every visitor.”
