On the 12th Anniversary of Michael Smith Restaurant -- now Michael Smith Private Dining & Special Events -- we're sharing Nancy Smith's thoughts from a few years ago -- which remain true today: "We would like to take this opportunity to just say thanks ... Thank you to our investors, friends, family, our amazing staff and of course, our patrons. Over the last years, you have supported us in our effort to make something special here in the Crossroads. We are proud to call #Ka...nsasCity home and open our doors each day to the people that make this city what it is, because without you, our dream would not have become this reality." During the past dozen years, this location has hosted mayors and visiting chefs, rock icons and the Queer Eye stars, friends and food lovers from all over. We're looking forward to hosting your special event in this beautiful space (contact us at [email protected]) -- and seeing you for dinner at Farinakc and Extra Virgin. Our corner in the Crossroads!
