    At the risk of them becoming too busy that I can’t get a reservation, you should absolutely eat here. Five stars. Every time. Without fail. My favorite breakfast/lunch spot in town.

    My wife and I love eating at Midtown Cafe! We have eaten there several times. Food is always great and prepared the way you like it. Service is friendly and attentive. Only caveat I'd include is the add-on proteins are a bit pricey. i.e. adding chicken/shrimp/etc to pasta or a salad.

    We were advised that the Midtown Cafe would be a good place for regional food by our concierge, and it was. The portions are LARGE, so you could easily get an appetizer as your meal. Wonderful Coca Cola short ribs, roasted brussel sprouts, green fried tomatoes and more. The service is exceptional and knowledgeable. This place is popular, so plan early if you want to dine there.

    Rated low because of the 50 dollar steak. 35 fillet minion. The steak had zero flavor. It was like they grabbed a steak , threw it on a grill, and served it. It was upsetting because of the price you paid and zero flavor at all. I had to use steak sauce to finish. Everything else was great! Just don't buy a steak.
