Crying Tiger has been so hyped up on social media and I have to say it was 100% worth the hype. The food was a 10/10, the service was outstanding, and the overall vibe was awesome. I’d gladly book my reservation 30 days in advance at midnight again to come back here.

Amazing service. Good food. Magnificent view. Unforgettable experience

We celebrated my dad’s 79th birthday and my mom’s 77th birthday, just three days apart, at Smith & Wollensky. We wanted to take them somewhere new, and the riverfront location—with valet parking and easy access—made it a perfect choice. My parents have lived on the South Side their whole lives, and my dad spent 28 years as a Chicago police officer there. He usually stayed away from downtown, so we were especially happy to find a place he really enjoyed. The wait staff was absolutely fantastic: welcoming, attentive, and on top of everything throughout the evening. And the food was stunning—every dish came out perfectly and tasted incredible. My mom was so excited that she dressed up and spent the night before reading reviews of the menu items. We all had a wonderful birthday dinner. Smith & Wollensky made the evening feel special from start to finish, and we can’t wait to come back. This place never disappoints!

Great vibe and decor. We loved everything we had from the brussel sprout salad, bread with ricotta and honey, pasta, Branzino and halibut. Even the roasted mushrooms were outstanding. The mini gelato cones were the perfect ending. The server was also excellent.

Amazing experience! Great food, views and customer service.
