My entire issue was with the food and nothing else. I got a bagel with lox. It was…unfortunate. Criminal, even, for what they charged for it. It was like someone took a Thomas bagel and kind of half microwaved it before throwing a smattering of cream cheese and couple of tiny slices of salmon with a handful dried out capers. It was flavorless and tough. So yeah, probably won’t be coming here again, which is sad, because the service was fine and the atmosphere was pretty cute.

Great selections & portions for brunch (including a Bloody Mary bar) and everything was tasty. For example, their sausage biscuits & gravy had decent-sized pieces of sausage (not the usual cat food consistency that you see everywhere else).

Wonderful atmosphere with a romantic colonial ambiance. Classy and comfortable. Excellent friendly service. The menu offered many meal options. The food quality/preparation was sadly mixed. The soups were outstanding, both the chicken vegetable & onion. The entrees we had: meatloaf, chicken Parmesan, and chicken Margarita. The meatloaf was very uneventful. The chicken Margarita was flavorful but the chicken was tough and chewy. The chicken Parmesan was excellent. We didn't have dessert. The wine was priced fairly and the ice tea was good. We would go back again but would amend our food choices.

Huge foodie and also very forgiving person. I’ve been going here for the last 5 years. Raved about them having the best breakfast! Gouda bacon ommlette was to die for.
Today I went in excited to eat. Ordered the guada bacon ommlete as usual. 20 minutes later food comes out. Omelette burnt as if it the heat was too high or it was left in the pan too long. I’m not the one to send back. I will take my hit to the chin and just never return to said restaurant. It looked extremely unappetizing and mentally I couldn’t eat not bring myself to eat. I asked for something else or for it to be remade. Waitress said she would ask the chef to remake. 10 mins later comes out and thought I was being punked or something because it literally looked the same . No garnish, not folded just a burnt pile of eggs. Even when I door dashed from there my omelette never ever looked like that.
I understand waiting times to be long to due being unstaffed (where were the owners?) but quality of food should never go down because of being short staffed. Quality of service should not be prioritized over the quality of food.
I wish I could post the pictures!

5/5 stars! My husband and I had an excellent date night here with great food. Shane was awesome- he went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, explained the history of this restaurant to us, and gave us all his food recommendations. The food was delicious especially the peach cobbler. We will be going back soon!

Was there for lunch with a friend, and we were the only patrons during our time there. The atmosphere was great, quiet except for staff working and talking in the kitchen.

The customer service was horrible and the food was warm not hot and when it came wrong, it was a problem to fix it. If you understand nice nasty, that what we experienced. We left a ten percent tip versus our normal twenty two percent. We will not revisit nor recommend it. So few places in Smyrna to get a good meal, that's why we tried this place.

What a awesome atmosphere, love the old nostalgic feel.
Super cute interior decoration. Really nice and quiet vibe on a weekday morning. Food was amazing, like the best home cooking made with real care.

Extremely Disappointed – Poor First Impression
Tried to take my husband to Elizabeth Esther Café for Father’s Day and had a really frustrating experience. Online it said they opened at 10AM, so we arrived at 9:45 after being unable to make an online reservation (the system required booking at least three hours in advance). When we got there, a sign said they actually opened at 11.
I had been calling since 9AM hoping someone might pick up early for walk-in questions — no luck. Since the website said they take walk-ins, we drove around and waited for 1.5 hours with our kids. We came back at 10:50 and stood outside until 11:15 before the doors were finally opened.
When I said we were a walk-in party of six (2 adults, 4 kids), they said they couldn’t accommodate us. I even offered to sit at different tables — still no. After all that waiting and effort, we were turned away. No real apology, no effort to help. Just a frustrating and disappointing start to our day. We won’t be returning.

Love coming here! The ease of scheduling reservation online and the food are always a plus. This last time we were there, Hailey was our sever. She was great, provided recommendations on food, and the food was brought out promptly.
