What people say, in short
Commenters recommend Smith & Daughters for vegan dining, including one who particularly enjoyed the counter experience. Others give broad endorsements or include it among favourite dinners. Dissent is substantive: diners report a weaker experience than the restaurant's earlier version, average service, merely okay food or poor value. Another prefers Smith & Deli. The positive overall support therefore sits alongside several clear food and experience complaints.
