"As the talk of the town centers on Smyth, which received its third Michelin star last year, its sibling restaurant the Loyalist continues to operate in its shadow, quite literally. Karen Urie and John Shields’s subterranean brasserie shows that dinner omelets, anchovy toasts and trout Grenobloise have a place in Chicago, especially if presented with the elegant touches you’d find one flight upstairs at Smyth. The Loyalist has acquired a reputation as the gateway restaurant to the Shields’s culinary sensibility, and it doesn’t hurt that it serves what might be the city’s most acclaimed cheeseburger: griddled patties, onion aioli, charred onions, double cheese and a Martin’s sesame seed bun toasted golden."

About us
Between them they have 30 years of culinary experience, including at top Chicago restaurants Alinea, Tru and Charlie Trotter’s. It was at the latter that John Shields and Karen Urie Shields first met, he as a sous chef, she as head pastry chef. In 2008, the couple shifted gears, turning down an offer to open a Trotter restaurant in Las Vegas and instead headed to Smyth, a small county in Virginia. During their five years there, they honed their culinary vision using the locally grown ingredients around them as inspiration. In the process, their cooking at Town House and Riverstead Inn earned them national acclaim.
