    We had a fantastic dinner at Midtown Cafe! From the drinks to the food to our server, it was all an A+ experience. We started with the Brussels and Mussels (two different dishes). I had a delicious artichoke and lemon soup and spinach salad. My daughter loved her salmon entree. Our server was attentive, kind and gracious. Would highly recommend

    We came in with a party of 10 on the night of the CMAs. We were seated immediately and our server was outstanding. She had phenomenal menu knowledge and flawless recommendations throughout our meal (drinks, apps, entrees, and desserts). The ambiance seemed more like a casual neighborhood place and felt a little cold. Do not let that fool you!! The food was absolutely fantastic. Every element thoughtfully paired and prepared. We'll done!!
