We laughed and talked. The evening with my colleagues couldn't have been any better! I highly recommend Midtown Cafe for your next evening out.

Brussel sprouts and chicken croquettes with the special sauce were delicious. Prices are on the higher range but the food was worth it.

We booked our reservation on the spur of the moment as we had other dining plans that we bailed on because the restaurant was overly touristy and noisy and ridiculously priced. Midtown Cafe saved our evening. We are pescatarians so it is always a challenge finding more than one seafood entree on menus these days, so we were thrilled to have a variety of seafood items to choose from. We started with the mussels as an appetizer, which was cooked perfectly. My husband ordered the sea bass and I had the trout. Both dishes were delicious and artfully prepared. Cocktails were excellent and priced fairly. Our server, Carol was phenomenal. A true five star pro -- attentive, friendly and totally on top of everything. The cozy ambiance made for a perfect evening. We are grabbing some friends and coming back very soon.
