Reviews For Smyrna

We had a wonderful experience at Smyrna. All of the staff were so welcoming and attentive, and the food was next level. So many unique dishes to choose from. They were very accommodating of my gluten allergy as well. I’m sad that I don’t live here so I can’t come back all the time!

Was in the area on business and tried some of the appetizers as my dinner. The wait staff re commended the shaved beet salad and trio of dips with the homemade bread. I was impressed by the flavor combinations and enjoyed every last bite. The menu also had an impressive selection of wines from around the world with non-traditional options. If I am ever back in the area, Smyrna will be one of my stops!

This was one of the best meals we’ve had anywhere in the world by far! Delicate execution of delicious traditional dishes served by a very particularly attentive server. It’s a must go for anyone with a sensitive palate to fine details!

The food and service were impeccable. I was honestly very impressed. The hummus is the best I have ever had hands down and the meals my wife and I got were cook to perfection with an incredible flavor palette. I have heard a lot of great things from friends about this restaurant and I am very pleased that we finally decided to make a reservation here for our anniversary to try it. We will definitely be back. While I am not a vegan or vegetarian this would be a restaurant I could take my vegan and vegetarian friends to as well.

Such a great place for dinner. Highly recommend the beets and the mese trio to start. We had the fish of the day, the manti, and the vegetable “turlu”, with the manti ending up being the favorite.

My husband is a UVA alum from the 80s, so we were in town visiting from Cincinnati. We saw that Smyrna was a close walk from our hotel and went for dinner. The reviews are on point... Smyrna is fabulous. The service is friendly and impeccable; and the food is amazingly creative but not pretentious... just unbelievabley delicious (and beautifully presented). I'm not sure I've ever seen a prettier beet salad which was also scrumptious. (The cocktails are the same as the food ... so creative and layered with great flavors.) I'm not one to take photos of food, but I couldn't resist. Don't miss the baklava cheesecake... it's not what you think when you hear cheesecake. All I can say is that is was worth feeling too full to try it! Thank you, Smyrna, for a wonderful, memorable meal!

One of the best places we’ve been to! Amazing food and service! The details in every dish are just incredible, this definitely deserves to be a Michelin guide restaurant! 5 stars all around!

What can I say? Not only was the service top notch, but the food was out of this world. Cville is known for cozy, gourmet restaurants and Smyrna is one of the best. Hummus? I'm not sure how they worked that magic. Get the Market Fish. Just do it. So delicate and fresh. The Turlu was also divine. Don't skip dessert. Baklava cheesecake? Never heard of her, but she's my gal. You can't go wrong at Smyrna!
