Food, incredible- we actually went for brunch and dinner on the same day. Definitely a can’t miss kinda place food wise. It’s small intimate cafe but offers big flavors. The service was just okay though but the food makes up for that

First visit to Midtown Cafe since Chef & proprietor Randy Rayburn’s passing. This place is the real deal, Nashville. 37 years in business. Pro tip … if you love the famous lemon artichoke soup, grab it with a side of rice pilaf. Photos… blueberry pancakes,...Read More

Perfection. I usually leave a little bit on my plate but not in this case! I rarely order desserts in a restaurant but glad I did hear. Everything from the Free valley parking up front to the coffee and dessert to finish was perfection.

Late entry: My sweet friend invites me for lunch. Parking is tight the valet service was excellent! The hostess knew my friend as she was her son’s vice principal many years ago! Lastly, the food was amazing! Trout and her chicken croquettes 😋

I attended a business dinner tonight in a packed restaurant on a Tuesday evening. Kudos to staff and management for handling a full room. Service from Sarah was fantastic. Dinner was delicious. Old school Nashville dining at its best.

Small, but very nice place. Entrees were little on pricey side, but delicious. Caprese salad and lemon artichoke appetizer and chicken and mushroom puff pastry- very good. They were kind enough to divide our single order into 2 well-presented plates.

Got the fried chicken and biscuits with smoked Gouda grits. Excellent! I’m a big breakfast guy and it satisfied me. The biscuits were flaky and light, and the chicken was crunchy and moist. It came with a very small amount of homemade gravy. Could have...Read More
