    Great food and cute little place! Went for brunch. The grits were VERY GOOD. Only problem was they forgot our sides so we had to remind them. Slightly noisy for my parents.

    Midtown Cafe continues to be one of Nashville's "hot spots" for its great food and service in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Conversations throughout the cafe are often lively, and either casual or dress attire is appropriate.

    Everything was really good - food and service well-executed. Our server was hospitable and didn’t make us feel rushed even though the place was packed. We will definitely go back!

    Wonderful dinner of all our favorites! Lemon Artichoke soup, chicken croquets (fab!) and veal piccatta. Service is excellent and they even have French Champagne by the glass. Service is attentive.

    Gluten free experience: the menu was well marked and our server was attentive to our needs. Wine(s) by the glass were reasonably priced and generously provided. Since is was late we skipped appetizers: my wife had the appetizer shrimp and grits and a half sized spinach salad, I had the blackened grouper. All were properly seasoned. The stars were the flourless desserts almond cake with vanilla custard and a chocolate crème du pot - exquisite!
