Smooth

For years, there have been repeated comments that Taichung lacked something that any cosmopolitan city should have. Not an international airport, not a subway system but, rather, a classy bar and restaurant, the kind of place where local and visiting business types gather after work to swap their ties and briefcases for a few drinks and something good from the kitchen. Fortunately, the days when Taichung hotel lobby bars filled up with patrons with no where else to go are now over. These days, many city residents and visitors alike head for Smooth Bar and Grill Restaurant, it is fortunate that the restaurant is located next door to another success story, Fatty's®; Italian Restaurant .Smooth's success comes from the fact that it is a very attractive, classy-looking place where both dressed-up and dressed-down patrons can feel comfortable, and enjoy great food and a well-stocked bar until the late hours of the evening. As far as decor goes, Smooth is a classic, upscale bar and grill restaurant. Walls are covered with framed black-and-white photos. The teak wood and wicker furniture--much of it imported from Bali--and cushioned booth-type seats fit the atmosphere.

The center of attention on the first floor is one of the best-stocked bars in Taichung. Most evenings, this area is comfortably full of standing and sitting customers, enjoying their favorite tipple, including over German Warsteiner beer on tap and 25 types of Scotch, Irish, Canadian and American whiskeys (with 12 single malts). A couple meters away behind glass is Smooth's wine cellar stocked with labels from around the globe?

The menu is a virtual United Nations of cuisine, with dishes like English specialties Fish and Chips and Bangers and Mash; Red Thai Curry Seafood Risotto; French Spring Chicken; Italian Osso Buco (shank of veal and tagliatelle pasta); Baby Back Ribs; Beef Goulash; New Zealand Tenderloin Steak; and the Smooth Steak. Main courses all come with good bread and salad. In addition, most of the pasta favorites ( Fettuccine Seafood Thai-Style) are also available at Smooth. There are also plenty of salads, soups and appetizers, such as bruschetta, snails, and fried calamari.

If this weren't all enough, Smooth now offers a regularly-changing dish of the day
Smooth is a tough act to beat when it comes to almost everything from ambiance to outstanding food. As the non-stop stream of customers continues, there is little doubt that Taichung was more than ready for nothing more and nothing less than a great, traditional bar and grill restaurant.
