    Prior to going to this restaurant, I did the research and determined that it might be good. So four of us went there for dinner and it was absolutely fabulous. Not only was the food fantastic but the service was amazing. Matthew, Doug and Dale were fabulous! It was so good that we returned the next morning for breakfast. And once again, service in the food were fabulous.

    Food was great, establishment was lovely and quaint and all of the staff were all very kind and attentive. The only negative I have is the temperature. I thought it was uncomfortably cold in the restaurant. Some may love that but it was a bit too cold for me.

    Went to midtown cafe last night with friends. Honestly, none of us had been there in years but that was our mistake. The food and service was fabulous! We had the Brussels sprouts, tuna, pork chop, grouper and coconut cake to make a few items and they did not disappoint. We were not rushed, in fact were told we could sit and talk if we wanted. Had a nice quiet table in the back like I requested. Will definitely go back!
