    Chicken, avocado, chutney grilled sandwich
    Susan M.

    A delicious and visually beautiful small cafe - almost like an English tea shoppe. Interesting menu, and we tried the quiche (sorry, no pix - we ate it too quickly!) and a flatbread with prosciutto and a grilled chicken sandwich with avocado and chutney - all delicious! The staff were welcoming and the owner/chef delivered the meal herself. There are a small number of tables and a counter with stools, so I can imagine it's crowded at times - or it will be as word gets out. A lovely respite after Christmas shopping in NSB.

    Seen some buzz about this local restaurant and wanted to give it a try. We stepped in and were greeted pretty quickly, asked to sit up at the bar seating. We took a seat and were given drink menus right away. I ordered a warm latte with Cinnamon Toast Crunch topping which came out looking drool worthy. We put in our food order as the drinks were served. We both decided to try the Puffy Pockets, as we were hungry and wanted to try the mix and match. So I ordered the Chicken/Spinach/Garlic, along with the Guava/Brie. Friend ordered the Asparagus/Prosciutto and the Chicken/Lemon caper. Given that everything is made to order here, I thought that the food came out quicker than I expected. From the first bite, the puff pastry was delectable. Service was attentive, ambiance was enjoyable. I will be back for more delicious food and coffee. Hoping this place sticks around, support local!

    Sad and extremely disappointed. If you want to support this business you won't be disappointed with the food. Honestly it was one of the best places to eat. Quality food. Decent price . My husband and I spend over $100 with the tip each time we ate here. The person I am assuming is the owner of the place is why we will no longer be coming as the attitude. I was eating with my family who has an autistic grandson with his service dog. We have been seated before in the carpeted area before so it was disappointing to see how another person with a disability and service dog was treated today. We were seated up front on tiled floor. I never thought about until another patron with service dog came to eat also. The patron was young and NEVER rude nor raised her voice. Not once. She was offered to sit (no table) in the seats in front. The young lady spoke of the law in a calm voice. The owner stated she was being rude and refused service because of this. Just WOW. The disabled young lady even stated what her dog was trained for but because owner was ignorant of laws the customer left. Very sad. She severed argued at all. I have video of the situation. Not posting but do have evidence if needed. Yes reporting to ADA department. Hopefully they will educate the owner. Sad but they lost my business and I will spend my money elsewhere. They don't deserve anyone to eat there because of attitude.

    Puffy pockets

    Greek toast (avocados, micro greens, feta and balsamic), chicken and waffles, and puffy pockets (veggies and one with brie and guava). Cute ambience, friendly staff and delicious food!

    Adorable atmosphere, friendly staff and fresh made to order food. Delicious. E we are definitely going back next time in in Florida

    Such a cute spot, delicious food and drinks and a really expansive menu! We stopped in for a coffee and will definitely be back for lunch. All their food looked fantastic. I was only going to get a regular coffee but it was 41° out and the campfire latte was calling my name. Daughter got the white chocolate cherry frappe and we split a stuffed croissant. The croissant was absolutely delicious but massive. Even with 2 people we could only eat half. Can't wait to come back !

    This place is great! We were in town for a few days and went twice for breakfast to get the bacon quiche with leeks. She bakes it fresh every day is what the waitress told us. Also the garlic potatoes with truffle sauce was delicious. The coffee was fresh, everything was great and fresh and we highly recommend it. Friendly staff and really cute atmosphere.

    Chicken and bubble waffle with the most amazing slightly spicy syrup. Delicious!

    What a lovely hidden gem! Delighted to find a place that sources local fresh ingredients- and house made everything! Delicious! The service and atmosphere was also a positive experience. We are going to become regulars for sure!

    Stuffed croissant

    Loved this place! When we're traveling we make a point to try out local coffee shops and restaurants. We were exploring New Smyrna for the first time and decided to stop at Black Butterfly for a quick coffee. We were pleasantly surprised to find an adorable sit-down cafe with a creative and unique menu. We were immediately drawn to the stuff croissants and decided we needed to sit and order one to go with our coffee rather than grabbing something to go. We got the guava cream stuffed croissant, and it was phenomenal! In addition to great food options, the owner and her niece (our server) were incredibly helpful and friendly, spending time to talk with us, answering our questions about local sights to explore and offering many helpful suggestions. It was like we were talking with friends. I'm so glad we decided to stop at the Black Butterfly and definitely recommend.

    Treat yourself to some coffee and tapas at this adorable café and you won't be sorry! We heard the owner has traveled around the world with her husband in the military and she is a chef who puts so much love into her food. We live in Saint Augustine, but we'll be back anytime we're headed south don't let the strip mall fool you bon appétit!

    I live in New Jersey but my daughter lives in New Smyrna Beach, as does my best friend. This place…read morewas recommended to me 2 years ago while visiting. Every time I am in town I eat here at least 2 times, if not more. Amazing space, positive and happy employees, amazing service. My most recent visit was 5/24/26. Our server was Kaley and what a doll! On her game the entire time we were dining. We had great conversations with her and she was professional and attentive. She recognized us from prior visits and acknowledged that, which is a sign of true professionalism. The food is always enjoyable. I had a lobster roll on this day and it was great. Will always come here while in New Smyrna Beach. As a matter of fact, my daughter will be celebrating a huge life moment here at the end of June, her choice. It's going to be epic and another fabulous time will be had by all. Cannot wait!!!

    Visited on an early Thursday evening and this place was busy with an hour wait. I'm not sure if…read morethis is the typical wait because there was an event happening on the street. We sat at the outdoor bar ordered some happy hour drinks which they offer $5 margaritas and $6 house wines all day, every day. Nick was extremely tentative and even provided us with waters without us having to request it. The $6 wine pours come in a large sized glass and the size pour was decent! Once seated at our table we were served by Bri and she made some good recommendations. For apps we had the Cuban candy as an app and it was a huge hit at our table. On Thursdays they do a "prime rib special" which isn't really a special as far as pricing instead it is more so a special that is offered only on Thursdays for $44. 2 people from my party ordered it and they were satisfied. I ordered the chimichurri chicken sandwich which is a new menu item. The portion size of the chicken was good, however, the chimichurri / sauce seemed to lack. Also I wasn't a huge fan of their house sweet potato chips, they weren't bad, they were just okay, however, I would opt to have French fries next time. As far as ambiance, the inside is quite small which I got worried about sound and talking amongst my party but that wasn't an issue. They don't seem to take reservations unless your party is of 6 or more.

And they are good but they are the most popular and fill up fast so the wait the tends to be un-reasonable and borderline on bearable. Dinner is not meant to be eaten that early just to avoid the crowds. At RT you CAN get a reservation and the staff is friendly, kind & attentive. I am the type to never order anything on the "Chef's special menu" but the ambience was so warm and inviting, I lost my head a little-bit. I'm glad we did we order the Crustini and it was next level. I thought I was eating on south beach for a moment. Flavors were intense, but not overpowering & it all complemented one another. If you are there make sure you try this appetizer. The bread for the Crustini was fresh not overly hard or stale. The main course I had was perfect. I had the steak au poivre. The sear on the meat was spot on and the sauce was not overly peppery. It let the steak do its job with the seared crust. Chefs veggies were good and the red bliss mash was velvet, smooth. The cocktails here also are amazing! I'm not just saying that my wife order something called the beatnik. You can taste the fresh beet juice. You can tell there was somebody back there pressing them freash. You know how beets usually stains your teeth? This did not! Overall fabulous experience. We even took our kids here and they had excellent choices for kids menu. Very happy over all. We did not try dessert. However we notice on the menu they support local dessert shops in the area with their offerings. Next time we go back we will definitely try them. I hope you found this helpful buen provecho everyone

My husband and I ordered the grouper tacos, and they were a bit disappointing -- mostly cabbage with very little fish, and on the dry side. The cocktails were $17 each (before tax and tip), which would be fine if they matched the experience, but they were served in regular plastic cups, which felt out of place for such an upscale setting. Overall, it's a beautiful spot with a great atmosphere, but the quality of the food and presentation doesn't justify the high prices.

    HOLY COW. Spanish River Grill!…read more This NSB gem is truly amazing. I had multiple friends recommend for dinner and everyone agreed it's one of their favorites in town. Well, they were 100% right and I was blown away. Our table of 5 ordered some serious goodies - I just wish we could have eaten more so we could have tried everything on the menu. The bacon wrapped dates were some of the best I've ever had. The whipped cheese with honey was insanely good. The chicken entree was wild -- so tender and flavorful and the potatoes were to die for. We ordered dessert and it was so good and went so fast that we actually ordered a second cake. The food came out super fast and our server was awesome. The restaurant is very low key but nice, nothing stuffy or too casual. I honestly was so surprised but so happy with the experience. Come one, come all, and enjoy your feast!

    Honest and fair feedback for the management and chef of the Spanish River Grill…read more I typically leave no review and just move on when I have a disappointing experience. I want restaurants to be successful and am cautious about my criticism, but the person managing the front of the house chose to be condescending rather than understanding when I sent an unacceptable dish back. The positives: We were having a great experience prior to our large plate. Had the mussels which were great, tasty crab cakes, and perfectly prepared calamari. The olive oil cake that we were sent home with (comped) was as good as everyone says. The service was also good until the problem and the Sangria was delish. The Negatives: I was so excited to have the Paella since it's been years since I've had a great one. I've had Paella at 7 or 8 restaurants in the past as well as home prepared so I am not new to the experience. What I dished onto my plate had a little bit of everything. Everything was good not great but the chicken thigh meat was like rubber and the shrimp was overcooked by quite a lot. I don't expect perfection with shrimp. When our server checked on us, I informed them of the poor quality and they quickly said to stop eating and another dish can be brought out. I can only speculate that they have had problems with complaints after a dish has already been eating but that's not us. I never ask for anything to be comped if I am unhappy. My wife didn't want to send it back because it would mean a long wait for another but I didn't want it. Our server told us we need to decide fast and left us to discuss. We did not eat any more and after about 10 minutes the food was taken from the table. They did offer again to make something else. We were very disappointed since it's a 45 minute drive for us but these things happen sometime. Can't win them all. We could have just ended things there and I was prepared to pay the 60 dollars for the Paella (was removed) and move on but the manager came out and lectured me about this being the first complaint about the Paella in 3 years and that she tasted it all and that it was fine. Of the thousands of restaurants I've been to in my life, this was a first. Nobody likes it when they are implicated as a liar. What was a disappointing experience turned into an upsetting one. I hope she was just having a bad day because treating customers that way is not a recipe for success. I like to give businesses a second chance because everyone makes mistakes, and we had planned to meet some friends that live closer to NSB, but I can't imagine that I will now because of that. Perhaps they wouldn't want me back since I am the only person to ever complain about the Paella. Did I insult the chef by doing that?
