Given the dramatic decor at Citizen Smith, it's a surprise when the speciality proves not to be some sort of exotic cuisine but Southern fried chicken. This sleek eaterie does have some edgy dishes on its menu, not to mention some decent steaks, but the Americana-with-an-edge is what pulls in the punters. Try and visit the elegant bar hidden in the back: it's sometimes empty even when the front is jammed.
