Smoque Steak Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Overall, impressive.
As a pescatarian, steak houses aren't usually my first choice of dining establishment but I enjoyed Smoque Steak. We dined here with friends and I was immediately taken with the interior. It has a modern industrial feel, a departure from the dark, traditional vibe of many steakhouses. I started with the Smoqued Pineapple drink and husband the Manhattan. A lot of their classic cocktails have a twist in them. The drink read booked as a blend of sweet and spicy. It was well balanced, but I couldn't call it spicy. Husband found his Manhattan a little bland. We split the summer salad and the crab cake to start, both were excellent. The meat eaters ordered different cuts of beef for their main, all were pleased. I ordered the Lobster Grits, which is technically an appetizer as my main. I was a little surprised they didn't have cuts of fish, but there were a few pescatarian dishes. The dish was very tasty, but I would've liked to have seen the grits come out smoother. If you've had the grits at Luella's you know what I mean. We also ordered the carrots and mashed potatoes as sides. The potatoes were excellent, creamy, buttery and a little salty. The carrots were good too, but I wasn't picking up the chipotle flavor. Overall, we were happy with the experience and would come back.
My wife and I went for the first time during Happy Hour,
My wife and I went for the first time during Happy Hour, served by Alec behind the bar. Alec was very attentive and informative about all aspects of our meal, which we appreciated. The crostini and olives with garlic cloves were amazing to start. They were a great accompaniment to our wine and amazing old-fashioned. We ordered a New York strip cooked to medium. The meat was tender and flavorful. My only complaint is that it lacked a hard sear. I would advise ordering it as rare as possible, which would allow for a hard sear. I'm not sure I was into the smokiness of the meat. Happy Hour is a great way to promote the restaurant. We'll give it another go.
Restaurant itself is really nice.
Staff is attentive and informative on the menu. We had a 9:00pm reservation, by then they were out of a few cuts of meat. Understandable given how late it was. We ended up getting bone in ribeye with a few sides. The steak was cooked beautifully. Juicy and flavorful. Wish it had more of seared crust. All the sides were amazing. Highly recommend the loaded mash potatoes. They were so fluffy and light, almost weightless. The carrots came out more on the room temp side.
Visited again.
Loved it! Consistently excellent! We loved visiting with a larger party and trying nearly everything on the menu. My favorite is still the THE HANGER STEAK - 10 oz pan-seared. It's so full of flavor. Just perfect.
My goodness this place is good!!had the steak and frites.
Added a side of carrots and the cocktails were delicious! Ambiance is beautiful- dark and sexy!
Went for brunch with my friend at Smoque Steak and did not
Went for brunch with my friend at Smoque Steak and did not disappoint. My friend had the steak and eggs, steak done medium and it was cooked to perfection. I had the lobster biscuit Benedict and we also tried the lemon berry French toast and had peach Bellini. The host and staff were amazing and very attentive. The atmosphere was beautiful. Love the upscale but not pretentious vibe, the food is just amazing, service is excellent. This has become one of our top favorite Chicago restaurants. Really impressed by their nice staff and especially the service which was greatly appreciated. If you love steak, would definitely recommend this place!
This is a tricky one to rate.
The food ranged from good to very good. The steaks were solid, but this is where the big problem is. In a city like Chicago, solid just doesn't cut it. This place isn't even in the discussion of top 10 steak restaurants in the city. Sure, you save a few bucks by eating in Avondale, but not enough to justify choosing this over Bavette's or Boefhaus or El Che or even Gibson's. The sides were better than the steak, though the Caeser was overdressed. Service was good - perfectly friendly and relatively efficient, but nothing out of the ordinary. I like the vibe of the place. High ceilings kept the noise reasonable even though everyone is packed in fairly closely.
But to start, this was our 3 year anniversary dinner so we
But to start, this was our 3 year anniversary dinner so we chose this because we've been eating at the the Smoque BBQ for years and wanted to continue to give business to the name. They made NO attempts at acknowledging our anniversary. Then, we were seated and brought the menus and my husband is a goofy guy, super sweet and big with hand motions, and was saying how excited he was to eat and how hungry we were and my husband mentioned he was celebrated with a puff of weed beforehand to get excited about the meal and then the waiter took our full order (drinks, app, salad, steak/fries) We got the food and weren't in love with the food by any means but we never complain about anything because we also work in customer service so we know it's hard and maybe it was an off night? My husband asks for a second beer and the waiter forgot about it (or so we thought)... the waiter came back around and my husband asked again for that second beer and he got DENIED THE SERVICE BECAUSE THE WAITER WASNT COMFORTABLE SERVING SOMEONE WHO SMOKES LEGAL WEED. ... for the record he had literally a puff (zero exaggeration because he gets anxious if he has too much) of a vape pen before dinner at our house so like not even stoned. Like I said, we're just upbeat goofy people who work in customer service so we try to make things a happy and easy experience for everyone by being nice and easy going. Apparently, to our waiter, that translates to inebriated? WILD. Also, your best customers are likely stoned so wtf? ...the manager also confirmed that he backs up the decision to not serve more alcohol..... YET THEY KNEW BEFORE WE ORDERED THAT HE HAD HAD WEED SO THEY WERE COMFORTABLE TAKING OUR MONEY FIRST? Not at all obvious..... 238 dollars for some hamburger meat, premade grocery store fries and some shit salad. Nice work smoque.
We came here for a birthday dinner and were so pleasantly
We came here for a birthday dinner and were so pleasantly surprised by it! It is by far one of the best steakhouse experiences we've been to and here's why: - Sous vide: the steaks are done sous vibe which made them truly perfect texturally. It was a bonus for heathens like my husband who like their steaks well done to have a well done steak that was juicy and perfect all the way through - Sides & accompaniments: The potato gratin and brussel sprouts were to die for! Also loved the option of adding a confit egg and other unique sauces to the steak. Would come back just to try out all them. - Price: With the overall increases across the board in restaurants, we felt the prices were exceedingly fair. It truly made the dining experience feel that much more rewarding, because we were able to enjoy dinner and not feel like we were paying an arm and a leg. It's pretty easy to pay $200 before tip at other nice steakhouses just for two steaks and two sides! Overall, great service, great food. We will be back for sure!
This northwest side steak house is very different from the
This northwest side steak house is very different from the downtown places (many of which I love), but in a very good way. I was skeptical of smoked, sous vide, and seared steaks. I was wrong. I dined with a group of 5. Four of us had the filet and I had the ribeye. We all ordered our steaks medium rare (the rarest they serve). All were soooo delicious and perfectly cooked. The smoke flavor was in the background and made for spectacular flavor. The sear was not as hard as other places (to avoid overcooking) but I didn't care. Make sure you sprinkle on the Maldon salt served with your steak. My ribeye was amazing. We took home no leftovers from our table. Everything was so scrumptious. We shared everything and stared with a terrific Caesar salad. Sides were creamed spinach, potato gratin and garlic mashed potatoes. Great cocktails. Earnest service. Honestly, I will become a regular. Thumbs up to Smoque Steaks!
Great steak, chill vibes.
Free parking and amazing value. Neighborhood gem! Be sure to come back for their brunch. Lobster Biscuit is outstanding.
I have had 4 dinners here.
The first two times were great, which is why I returned. The third time was a disaster. The steaks were not sliced as requested and all the food came out cold. Then they brought steaks back after slicing them but the sides came out too late and again, everything was cold. The manager was sincerely apologetic and adjusted our bill, but the evening was ruined. So we tried a fourth time. The food (two $60 steaks) again came out lukewarm but we were too frustrated to deal with the back and forth from the kitchen. I love the neighborhood, the ambience, the management, the entire concept. When Smoque is good, it is very good. But a 50% success rate for a very expensive meal shows that there are ongoing issues with the pacing of the service and getting hot food to the table. Hoping they can get this problem resolved cuz I wish them the best. Barry and his staff are dedicated restauranteurs.
This swanky yet unassuming, large yet cozy temptation is
This swanky yet unassuming, large yet cozy temptation is dangerously close.... They already had my loyalty because the same folks behind Smoque BBQ on Pulaski just south of Irving Park opened it. I already was addicted to their ribs etc. Smoque was a godsend during the time of pestilence. They were among the very first to run a streamlined curbside pickup area. What a treat it was to polish those bones every now and then. After a few hiccups and a great deal of anticipation, their new very classy neighborhood destination calls. I stopped in briefly early on, in the name of research, to check out the front-of-house market, which they informed me was about to be transformed into a no-reservation wine bar. What a great idea! A very discerning pal was in town so we went for dinner. Everything was delicious and meticulously presented. We ordered the steak frites and the hangar steak. We began with a sparkling brut from Austria that perfectly cut through the decadently rich bone marrow appetizer. Our shared entrées, medium rare steak frites and hangar steak, were perfectly presented on a refined rectangular cast iron platter, perfectly cooked and sliced. The hangar steak was slightly smokier. So tender We also shared their comforting shishito creamed spinach. Well executed fries. Although I do prefer green chimichurri over red Our second glass was a wonderful Côtes-du-rhone. My amusing pal Fern suggests a better name: Smoque Steaque. Works for me.
Run - don't walk to Smoque Steak!
We were so impressed with Smoque Steak, and let me tell you why. I recently made reservations for a large party. The friendly staff easily accommodated our seating changes, and upon our arrival, the bar and restaurant ambiance was both beautiful and lively - and yet we could still hear each other perfectly (which seems to be a rare find these days). The drinks, food, and sides were prepared to perfection. The management and staff checked on us frequently, and the desserts were to die for. Our dinner party group frequents many restaurants, but Smoque Steak has topped them all. Thank you for such a memorable evening. I'd give Smoque Steak ten stars if I could!
Great service and value for unique steak dinner
Unique preparation allows beef flavor to come through. Fries were the perfect complement and were crispy on the outside and perfect inside. Shrimp were properly cooked and chilled. Excellent service will bring us back soon.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
