Significant birthday celebration at Smyth a couple of weeks ago.

You don't know what you're served until it is served. They do ask for and accommodate most dietary restrictions. We were emailed the printed menu a few days after dinner.

My apologies for the all caps in the descriptions. I was not about to retype the entire menu, so I copied and pasted.
