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.

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.

Had a horrible meal here. My husband had steak which was over cooked, fatty, and almost inedible. My son had the rib sandwich which was soo tough he had to try to cut it up and deconstruct it to consume. My other son had fettuccine Alfredo which was completely bland. The creamy tomato soup was good, my crabcake sandwich was ok. The only reason we ate our meals was because we were all starving and had to leave for a ballgame right after otherwise I would have demanded for the bill for the decent food and left. Even after giving an honest review nothing was done on behalf of the restaurant to correct our horrible experience.

Elizabeth Esther Cafe is clearly not a place for people with melanin. The receptionist was smug and condescending. We were asked if we had a reservation when we clearly requested a table for three. The restaurant was basically empty. We sat for 15 minutes without even being offered water. The server skirted around our table without so much as a word. We took our business and money elsewhere!

Service was horrible and food was cold. We were there for 3 hours waiting on food and drinks. Very disappointed.
