Beautiful older home converted to a restaurant. It was beautifully decorated. I felt like we had gone back in time. We went there for Mother’s Day brunch and had a great time. The food was good though the desert selection lacked anything healthy. I would have loved some fruit but I will be sure to visit again.

Wish I found this place sooner! The menu was perfect not overwhelming, the food was delicious including the infused tea and bread pudding, and Karen took great care of us. The ambience was perfect for any dining occasion including the wine tasting that I cannot wait to go back for. This will be my new favorite place, I cannot wait to go back and try the brunch menu next!

We have been here for brunch with friends and were very impressed. Got your Thanksgiving dinner and also very impressed. Next we got Easter dinner takeout all very good. Then we came for Mother’s Day brunch. The sausage gravy tasted burnt. You had some kind of casserole that was awful. The only thing edible was the waffles. We were so disappointed and should have spoken up at the time. Most brunch buffets have platters of fresh fruit, salmon crudités etc. but all that was left were chicken salad sandwiches and it tasted like store bought as well the desserts. I always want to support local businesses. And prefer them to the chains. I wondered if your chef was sick or quit that day. I haven’t been back but I hope you fixed whatever was off that day.

Beautiful little historic-looking cafe with delicious food and a surprisingly good bartender. I’m picky with my Manhattans and she or he made an excellent one (and another). The crab cakes were amazing (no filler as advertised). Appetizers are more interesting than one would expect from such a place. Highly recommend anywhere, but in Smyrna, this is not a diamond in the rough; it’s a diamond where they’re never been found before.

This is a hidden gem. This restaurant is really a nice place for date night. The ambiance is really a hit. The service was fantastic, Lisa our waitress was phenomenal. She was very attentive and was a great waitress. I definitely will be coming back with friends.

My wife and I have been here a couple times and have loved it. This last time, we brought our youngest son and he thourougly enjoyed himself. He is only 11 but, he loves good food. He was not disappointed. He tried everything we ordered and when it came to the International Burger that he ordered, he thought it was the best burger he had ever eaten. He also thought the inside of Cobalt Manor was “cool” and he loved the music! I think he’s eclectic with his tastes for such a young man. We will be back soon.

My husband and I decided to try this “little gem” for an early birthday lunch. The Manor itself is beautifully decorated down to the little details on the wall. I found myself walking from room to room to appreciate the history behind the Manor. Everything we ordered was AMAZING and presented beautifully. From atmosphere to quality of food and service, it was such a wonderful/homey experience!

Quiet dinner for 2. Unique old mansion setting. Everything was very good. The Chef was a one-person shop tonight but service was still very good. French onion soup was tasty. The wild mushroom ravioli was very well prepared. My partner is diabetic and she was awesome in explaining things, so much so he had his own dessert for once! They are dedicated to sourcing fresh and local, which I love to see. We plan to go back soon for lunch. I also looked at a partial catering menu online and it looked amazing.
