My family and I had a wonderful experience here for dinner. It was out first time and we wanted to try everything…and we did 🙂
The staff was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. He helped us make selections and coursed everything out for us in perfect time. The mezze trio, beet salad and hamachi crudo were delish! Possibly the best beet salad I’ve EVER had. And I can’t say enough about the manti pasta…you must visit if you’re in town.

Wow! What an incredible hidden restaurant. Turkish food was delightful. Some of the best craft cocktails we have had. Also do not skip the pistachio baklava cheesecake, it will blow your mind!

My go-to place when I’m in town. I’ve now been 3-4 times and I’m never disappointed. From their choice of glassware, to their inventive cocktails and their mouth watering food, you really can’t go wrong. If you are as picky about quality food, don’t inks and a great atmosphere when you go out then Smyrna is for you!

Absolutely delicious food…craveable flavor! The manta dumplings are insanely good! My wife had the burger and said it was by far the best she ver had – such a great flavor & so juicy! The drinks were great as well!

Great restaurant, probably one of the best in Charlottesville. Staff was helpful and attentive, atmosphere was great, and first and foremost the food was excellent. I’d recommend the lamb meatballs and the manti.

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!

I love how well they take care of their customers here. The service is always incredible. The food is beautifully crafted. The cocktails have funny names and taste so complex! I love spending time here. Tarik is a wonderful chef and it’s always great seeing him. I always see the restaurant full and lively. So happy my husband introduced me to this beautiful restaurant! Can’t wait to visit again!

Smyrna’s excellent reputation did not disappoint! We enjoyed specialty cocktails and shared a few items (see list with names in photos)- All were delicious as well as lovely presentations. When our server Martin described the dessert Meyer Lemon Granita, with the Turkish cotton candy-like garnish, we just had to try it- nice & light but also like no other dessert (which I have sampled a lot)… we thoroughly enjoyed our total experience(-:
