Love everything about this experience. The hospitality when we came in, to the kindness of our waiter, to the food taste and display! We ran out of pita with our 3 dip trio and we got more for no additional charge.
Very delicious, very flavorful, great music and awesome staff.
Wonderful dinner and amazing live performance! The staff were amazing and very friendly. Best meal I've had in a long time, try the lamb chops. The performance by Anthem was the highlight of the evening! She has an amazing voice! Can't wait to come out again.
If I could give this place six stars, I would. The food is so delicious and flavourful, tender seasoned meats, the sauces and warm breads. The service is incredibly welcoming and attentive. You will not regret visiting here, simply incredible.
Great food, great atmosphere, great music. The owner is a really nice person, very helpful. I would recommend that you ask the chef for a tasting menu so that you try many things. Overall great experience.
Food was pretty good. Sat out on the covered patio, it was nice. Loved the spicy hummus and olives as an appetizer. The saffron chicken was good. Ordered the meat dolmas as well, but didn't really care for them. Will go back soon to try other dishes!
10 stars. Truly! The service was amazing from the second we entered. The food is amazing. There was nothing I wouldn't eat again. It's like a 40 min drive for us and I will def be going back. We had the meat dolmas,hummus,saffron rice, beef piroshky,and falafel platter. First time in a Mediterranean spot and will def not be my last.
Parking for Izmir isn't obvious. The eatery is located behind Gloria's and next door to a large pizza place. The parking lot, which is sizeable, belongs to the pizza shop. So, if you plan to eat at Izmir, park across the street or elsewhere but not in the parking lot, even though many spaces may be open. The food and service at Cafe Izmir is well worth the inconvenience.
Food was extremely satisfying. The entire staff was very hospitable and helpful. Dim lighting, candle lit-tables, live acoustic music, and fancy decor create the perfect ambiance. We had the privilege of enjoying the dinner for two. The spread was incredible and the meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Portion sizes were generous and the food came moderately quick. Paired with a beautiful sangria, this meal was definitely one of the highlights of our night.
A note of warning, parking for Cafe Izmir is valet only. They don't advertise its cost but be sure to carry at least 5 dollars in cash for parking.
Also, side note: the bathrooms had mouthwash in them so that's pretty cool. Didn't really match the fancy vibe of the rest of the restaurant though.

Beautiful and cozy little Mediterranean spot. Family-owned (from
Iran). Super friendly staff. Good food. They made my birthday extra special as well. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better bday experience (& present)!
Only valet parking, they don't charge for it mondays and Tuesdays. My waiter was very polite and helpful. The place was tidy and clean, I loved the decoration. Apparently the painting are for sale, so you could come to get tapas and leave with a original painting. The appetizer was excellent. I died with the pita bread, so amazing. The beef I had was very tender and good, little spicy. My friend had coffee, and said it was very good. Excellent experience.
