Jocelyn and the Sevmar Team are like family. They treat everyone with respect and work hard for a wonderful food and service experience. I am Armenian and my wife is Brazillian, this restaurant feels like home and we have celebrated birthdays and anniversaries here multiple times. We are grateful for the grace and hospitality shown by Jocelyn and all members of the Sevmar Team. The service, food, desert and drinks are the best. The experience brings the best memories of food, family, and love. We are truly grateful to live close and enjoy the Sevmar family.

Josh was the best server & the food & drinks were incredible. I’m very picky and I loved everything so much! The quality of the chicken was outstanding. First Mezze platter I’ve ever had and it was sooooo delicious and flavorful. Sincerely obsessed with how good the drinks were !!!! Idk who the bartenders are but OMG you killed it ! Even the impromptu lemon drop shot at the end was like the best I ever had. And can we say vibe… I feel so comfortable and relaxed here ! Thank you! We will for sure be back!!!

Servmar Bistro is truly a hidden gem! The homemade food is absolutely delicious — you can taste the freshness and care in every bite. The place is spotless and has such a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The service is outstanding; everyone is friendly and attentive. The drinks are amazing — perfectly crafted and full of flavor! A special shoutout to Martin, the bartender, who makes some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. He’s super personable and really knows his craft. Definitely one of my favorite spots to relax and enjoy a great meal and drink!

We had such an amazing dinner at Sevmar Bistro Mediterranean Restaurant! We were a party of three, just looking to enjoy a nice family night out—and wow, did this place deliver. Our server, Joe, was fantastic—super friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The food? Absolutely delicious. Every detail was on point. From presentation to flavor, everything was wow. I’m usually not a martini person, but I decided to try the cucumber martini—and ended up having two! So refreshing and smooth. Highly recommend it. The music and atmosphere made the night even more special. The vibe, the decoration, the warmth—it all felt so inviting and beautifully put together. I genuinely can’t wait to go back. A perfect spot for a relaxed yet elegant dinner with great food, drinks, and service.

Absolutely A Mediterranean Greek the same thing incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality that instantly made us feel like family. Every dish was bursting with authentic Greek flavor — perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented, and made with obvious care. The lamb was tender, the tzatziki was the best I’ve ever had, and the baklava was heavenly. The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant, and the service was attentive without ever feeling rushed. You can truly taste the pride they take in their food and culture. A true gem — I can’t wait to come back! ????????

Gaby’s steak kebab accompanied with a lemon drop martini was just incredible. The steak was cooked medium and needed not extra seasoning. The martini was made to perfection! It was like going to a 5 star restaurant close to home. Will return and definitely recommend’.
