Amazing food, we really enjoyed everything we ordered. The dessert in particular was absolutely delicious (chocolate tart with artichoke ice cream). The only downside was the noise level (the music was a bit too loud for a comfortable conversation).

I had been meaning to come to Smith & Daughters for ages... and it was worth the wait. So tasty and our server, Travis, was very helpful. It was a joy and I can't wait to go back. My favourite dishes were the "chicken" with greens and the arancini balls.

Food was super average. Had no taste. Was not happy paying $99 per person for a set menu for what we got. The first plate of the bread and spread was the best one. Service and drinks were good. I wouldn’t go back again.

I used to LOVE going to the old venue! SO hot & sexy. The menu was full of hearty, generous, tasy options. My bestie & i flew down from Sydney & had seen this new opening on IG. We were excited to go & return. We arrived on time but the table wasnt ready & were asked to wait outside in the cold! There is no space or bar inside to wait at! We waited 10 mins then were seated & ordered mocktails, which took a while to arrive. We were waiting on our friend whos flight was delayed but were starving & werent given our entree until she arrived 20mins later. We got our entree (which was delicious), but waited another 45mins for our next course! We were SO tired & starving by this point & trying to be patient but quite disappointed seeing we had been looking forward to this for months & always loved the old venue. The wait staff were lovely, kind & helpful but i had to go find one a few times to see if we could get a menu / our drinks / next course. They apologised, said there was a party upstairs & hence the delay. And brought all our remaining meals out at once. The food was nice but not what i missed from the old venue. And for the price, considering 3 of us paid $95, I was disappointed at the portion of dessert. Id prefer a menu where you can control choice & portions ordered. We each got one spoon of tiramisu! The lovely waiter brought us more mocktails on the house to apologise but at this point it was all just a bit disappointing. I dont think we will be coming back unfortunately. The atmosphere isnt as rock n roll as it used to be & it just felt like a disappointing experience all around.

Fab night out. Service was attentive, friendly & efficient. All the share plates were terrific and the staff happy to deal with re-ordering and additional orders. Not a big drinker, but the wine list was varied and had plenty of choices. Overall had a great feel to it, loved the vibe of the place with the kitchen now as the centrepiece. Highly recommended!

We chose Smith and Daughters to take interstate guests as we wanted them to experience Melbourne ‘cool’. The space showcases industrial glamour mixed with antique sophisticate. Food glorious, in particular the oyster mushrooms and kale salad and so generous we hardly could fit in the famous Tiramisu dessert. Our guests commented on the staff who were super friendly, knowledgeable, diverse and showcase Melbourne as the amazing place that we love.

Loved the new venue and the service was impeccable. Food was amazing too but probably too much and would have loved choice to order from a la carte menu rather than only 4 course set menu. Will def be back mid week to try a la cart menu.

A truly magnificent and eye opening experience into the vegan world of incredible and inventive food possibilities. Lovingly prepared and expertly executed. For us it was a special occasion with friends who were the usual vegan/plant based food skeptics, that was then this is now, they are true converts and can’t wait to return to sample and indulge yet again. In a word MAGNIFICENT.

I just wanted to say how extremely impressed my partner and I were tonight with our dinner and the amazing service we had! It was our first time at smith and daughters and it certainly did not disappoint! The food was incredible, staff were so lovely, the atmosphere was amazing and we just haven’t stopped going on about how much we loved it and thank you so much to the chef for giving us a candle with our dessert to celebrate our 9 year anniversary! We cannot wait to come and dine with you again!

The waitress (Elena) was excellent, but the three (of a party of four) non-vegans didn’t enjoy the food. We’ve eaten at this restaurant previously and loved it and really enjoy contemporary dining at vegan/vegetarian establishments usually. Being forced to select Mediterranean was a shame as it would not have been our first or second choice. The bread was delicious at the start but the greens were stodgy. The kale salad as the last of the mains was too salty. The plant-based tiramisu was fabulous, as were the cocktails and mocktails we chose. Not being able to finish with a tea or coffee was disappointing.

Whilst we liked most of the food (there was a couple of standout dishes, but the anchovy oil was also overpowering on a few) it was on the pricier end. I’m glad I’ve experienced it, but for the price point I can’t see myself returning. I’d recommend going if you want to experience this place, but make it a special occasion to make it worth the price point.

First time dining at Smith & Daughters and I will be back. My partner and I chose the chefs table as our dining experience and we were not disappointed. All staff went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. So much variety, portion sizes are great and the atmosphere was beautiful. The staff are also incredible in accomodating to allergies.

Having travelled all the way from Sydney for a chef's table experience, we didn't enjoy it at all. The counter they sit you at is small, uncomfortable and unimpressive, the kitchen you have to look at is ugly and allows you to see chefs eating and touching their faces waaay too much while cooking, and you are sitting too close to other guests. The food was way too high in volume and too low in quality - every dish was a miss for us and we are very well travelled vegan diners so this is not due to lack of sophistication on our part - quite the contrary. The drink list was overly dependent on booze and generally uninspiring. We were laughing the whole way because the whole thing was just very amateur. We definitely won't be back.

Food was tasty. Lots of love in the food. Service was attentive and somewhat orderly. We received our mains and finished them before the entree was served. That was disappointing. The biggest concern was the portioning. It left a lot to be desired. So much so we were left hungry enough to go out again and have dinner (again) at another restaurant. So in short, it was quite disappointing.

I booked for my partner´s birthday, we had one of the best dining experiences ever! We already used to enjoy going to Fitzroy´s location, the first time at Collingwood. The staff spoiled us like we were a VIP, which was very much appreciated and unique, we got excellent staff selection, wine testing before ordering it, and overall quick and elegant service. Rarely do we give tips for dining however this time I felt it was much well deserved. Thank you so much Smith & Daughter´s chef, waiters and staff!

Came for my partners 30th birthday. We found the large share portions to be equal to the small share portions and were a bit confused when the food was coming out. We got two small and two large shares. Ordered two desserts to eat together and had to go up and ask for the other as they only bought out 1. By the time my one came my partner had finished his, I didn’t want him to wait for mine to arrive. We were still hungry when we left and ordered red sparrow when we got home.
