Had such a nice time. It was a perfect lunch outing with friends. The food was delicious and even though it stated it was a TEA ,there were other options of drinks we chose the delicious iced tea.
The game was fun and it seemed like everyone really got into their character.
I would definitely recommend it to others.

I'm sad that I didn't know about them sooner, but glad that I found them. The atmosphere had the best ambience that I've felt in a long time and the menu was the right size, not too overwhelming. The food was fantastic I can't even find words to describe it was so good and the infused iced tea was very quenching. Karen was so sweet and polite and made us feel so royal! I'm excited about the upcoming wine tasting and will be trying the brunch next....I think I found my new favorite spot! Worth every scent and be sure to make the online reservation to secure your spot, you will be glad you did.

Overall everything was great. The aesthetic is amazing. The food was okay - my French toast was a little under cooked. The service was a little slow so if someone is in a rush I wouldn’t suggest this location, however we weren’t so it was totally fine. We needed the time to talk & the server asked us personally question to get to know us which I haven’t experienced before & she was very honest & kind. The mimosa bar is so fun & interactive! It was a little quiet inside so we felt we had to talk a little quieter but again overall excellent experience. Will definitely come back.

There were 3 of us. The onion soup and roasted red pepper soups were delicious. I had the shrimp salad with taco chips which also very good. The only negative was the boneless pork rib sandwich was dry and a bit overdone... Micky was very nice and attentive.

Happy to find such a unique place in Smyrna!
Food was good, and good value for the money. An extensive drinks menu with interesting choices, only $9 for most from what I saw.
Very nice "Victorian Tea Room" feel to the ambience--relaxing and upscale.

Overall very nice experience. Creative menu. Loved the wines, atmosphere, the small intimate setting was greatly appreciated.
Suggestions would be that the food was served hot, it was generally room temp with the exception of the soup.
Smaller, focused main course, I think the chicken was too much, didn't find any Gouda or mushrooms as described.
Loved the palette cleanser course, soup and dessert the most. Crab cake was good.
Mango chutney on the scallop course was flavorful, would have liked to have had larger scallops, juicier and hot.
Also the cookie served was described as an Italian cookie but it was a French macaron. Delicious but not Italian.
Service was lovely, the chef was lovely and support what you are doing here to create special dining experiences in our area. I will attend again.

The four of us that had dinner at your restaurant on Friday evening thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We love the way you have renovated and decorated the old house. The waitress who also substituted as a bartender made the best of fashion we have had in a long time. Food was delicious and the service was great. Thank you very much

Last time we were there, the NY strip steak was a better cut of meat---a little thicker and tastier. I would be willing to pay a little more for that cut of meat again. Other than that, everything was spot on delicious. We also had the crab cakes, two appetizers, two desserts, a few drinks, and the meatloaf. The other thing that was odd, when I went to reserve the table at 6 pm, there was not an available spot, so I selected 6:30 pm. However, upon arrival at 6:30 pm, we were the only ones in the entire restaurant all night---so not quite sure why we were not able to choose a 6 pm reservation.
Business Response:
Hi, thank you so much for the feedback always appreciated. The reason why you cannot make a reservation for 6 PM is because we set the reservation so that we have the ability to have two dinner seatings when we're busy. If we allow seating at 6 o'clock then no one would be able to reserve at five or at seven so it takes up both of the time slots for dinner.- Overall: 10/10

I love your cafe. I would like to see more choices for cold beverages offered, besides your organic tea or flavored sodas. I would highly recommend your cafe and am looking forward to coming back very soon. On the three occasions that I have been there each server was pleasant and polite.

Excellent hidden gem! Upon arrival, I had requested to be seated outside since it was a beautiful day. Our hostess advised that they were short staffed but would do her best to be attentive. We were in no hurry so we sat outside. Despite the staff shortage, we did not wait for anything! Food was timely, delish and the chefs personally hand delivered our food! Excellent service! A MUST GO!

Would have liked to have more seating time options. Everything else was great
Business Response:
Hi Brian. We are pleased you enjoyed your experience. Seating times are limited in order to allow two seating for dinner. If we allow a middle time then we could only seat half the number of guests. Sometimes seating is limed based on availability as well. Hope to see you again.- Overall: 10/10

We were only able to get an early seating (4:45 on the 14th.) which turned out to be a blessing ! ! We felt as if we had the whole "Cafe" and the waitstaff to ourselves, which is a rare occasion on Valentines Day ! From beginning to end, it was a perfectly enjoyable experience . Our waitress was sweet, friendly, attentive and yet always professional. The food was delectable, each course being better than the preceding ! ! I've personally been around the World four times, and from my "worldly" experiences, cannot think of an item or idea to improve your fare and its presentation ! !

The food was amazing. Everything was fresh, and prepared to order. The Bloody Mary was spot on and spicy as I had requested. It is a cute restaurant and reminds me of my 100+ year old home on the historical registry. I highly recommend this restaurant to my family and friends.

We were seated in the Cobalt room. Beautifully decorated. Service is second to none. The food not only looked appetizing it tasted delicious. The salad had a multitude of texture to it. The soup had a mixture of meats and just the right amount of heat (spice) to it. The portion size was perfect. No waste, left one full without being overstuffed. Perfect experience.

We’ve had brunch at Elizabeth Esther Cafe before, but this was our first dinner, and a murder mystery one at that - SUCH fun; the beautiful decor lent itself to the Dickens Christmas theme, our fellow diners made it most entertaining, and the food was delicious! Can’t, as always, wait to return and highly recommended.

This is such a lovely, peaceful, charming place to dine. The food is exceptional from appetizer to desert. Chef Willy uses only the freshest food, and the preparation and presentation are excellent. The menu selections has something for everyone. In addition, the wait staff is always pleasant and helpful. We have been dining here since the cafe opened, because of the quality of the food prepared by Chef Willy!

This was my second visit. The first was with a large group. This time just my best friend and I. Food was great, it was a little long wait because Ms Geenie was serving alone. She provided great service and communicated what was going on. We had a great time overall and food was delicious worth the wait.
