MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
Smyth is so very chic, styled with a small lounge area resembling a living room, while a large portion of the floor plan is devoted to the impressive open kitchen.
This talented brigade, led by Chefs John Shields and Karen Urie Shields, has evolved since opening. Theirs is cooking that is desirable, impactful, and doesn't need an onslaught of luxury ingredients to impress. Instead, sheer creativity is applied to seasonal produce. Wild Maine mussels are in a savory licorice cream; chilled avocado delights with Bangkok guava paste and hoja santa. Then uni arrives glazed in egg yolk, while venison is spruced up with truffle liver ragout and sauce civet. For dessert, saffron ice cream drizzled with beeswax-thickened honey sits atop roasted quince.
