    Good food and service. Loved the lamb ravioli and my colleagues were happy with their salads.

    An intimate, softly-lit dinner experience with charming, very attentive staff and some uniquely delicious food. Perfect for a more upscale family dinner, or date night. Decent wine list, though the dining area is relatively cozy so make reservations on a busier night. Try their delicious lamb ravioli in truffle sauce!

    The spare rib was oh so delicious! And surprisingly filling too. I only ate half the bread and after eating this entree (also with three onion rings and three falafels to go with the three cuts of meat), I was not hungry. So quality and quantity.

    Maybe this isn't etiquette but I ate the arugula with the meat and I thought the bitterness of the arugula complimented the savory meat and accompanying sauce. I know, I'm a savage: I ate the garnish.

    The ambience was nice. I sat outside. I had a long day so decided to treat myself to a nicer dinner than usual and I thought this was a classy restaurant and it was indeed a treat -- a treat that cost upwards of $30 but a treat nonetheless.

    Delightful dinner at Smyrna on Friday - this will soon be a neighborhood gem. :)
    Bread arrived at the table shortly after we sat down, still hot from the oven.
    The eggplant pure made for a perfect dip - so flavorful and satisfying.
    Moscow mules were well-made and refreshing on a hot day. Grilled octopus was perfectly grilled and seasoned, and came with grilled cucumber and braised beans - could've been a meal all by itself. Grilled prawns were plump and juicy, with 6 large ones for a serving.
    The only downside was that the air conditioning wasn't working (it was 95 that day). The fan kept the restaurant from being sweltering, but still slightly uncomfortable.
    Servers were eager and hovering a bit, but food came quickly and severs were really sweet.
    Will definitely return! Next time we'll bring friends.

    Excellent and beautifully presented grilled octopus. Perfectly cooked lamb in wrap. Delicious warm bread. Nice atmosphere. Wine list by the glass is lacking - I was hoping for something from Turkey or Greece, like an ice cold Retsina. A welcome addition to the neighborhood.
