In a beautiful historical building in Smyrna sits a wonderful and lovely setting for a Smyrna restaurant called Elizabeth Esther Cafe. The menu is varied and the food was delicious and presented in an appetizing and appealing way! I ate the Tuscan chicken flatbread with a side salad for about $15.00. The white ice tea was refreshing and delicious! Would recommend this little treasure of a restaurant to anyone. Also very conveniently located near the Smyrna Opera House with good parking!

Over all, dining experience was quite enjoyable. Server was very pleasant and always smiling and personable. Unfortunately, there were several unavailable menu items due to delivery issues which were beyond the cafe's control. The chef even helped select alternative choices that might meet our dietary needs, and they did! Server offered a dessert sample which resulted in a delicious purchase! The cafe's website where I made a reservation should be updated to reflect current hours as posted on sign at door of 10-2 instead of website's 11-8. Reservation was for 1:00 and according to the website was allowed to last for 90 minutes (until 2:30). Unknowingly, we stayed until 3:00, but the server was gracious and did not rush us out. I will definitely return for lunch, but will make a reservation for earlier in the day!
Business Response:
Hello Lois. We are open until 8 pm on Wednesday. Your server must have not checked the sign as it was still on Sundays hours. We are very happy you enjoyed yourself and hope to see you back soon.

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.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals and time spent at Elizabeth Esther Cafe! We loved our server who has a lovely sense of humor. We were never rushed and felt pampered in the beautifully decorated cafe.

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

Everything was perfect! This was my second visit and can't wait to return. I am a vegetarian and greatly appreciate all the options available. The service was great, the food was delicious and the wait staff was very patient with our group. I live in Hockessin which is why I can't visit as much as I would like.

First time there. Couldn't have been better. Service was excellent, even though we were the only ones on the patio. Food was great. Bloody Mary just spicy enough. Our first impression means we'll be back.

We love the atmosphere at the cafe. We had the Tuesday special that included 2 entrees and a bottle of wine. It was definitely worth the money. The service was great but one of the entrees did not have much flavor while the other was good. We will still return there for another meal!

Overall, a wonderful experience. It took a long time for the food but it was our bookgroup. We were in no hurry and I think our server realized that. Also, we customers need to recognize the challenges in this Covid time. Will absolutely go back and recommend.

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.

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. Thanks for great experiences and awesome meals.

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!
