    We tried a variety of dishes, my husband liked the catfish special because it was light and not greasy or heavily breaded. I ordered the filet and it was tender and cooked medium rare as I like it. The hash brown casserole was a little small and not as crispy as I had imagined. My husband ordered key lime pie which was excellent and garnished with strawberries. We shared it because the other dishes were filling. One person in our party of 6 did not get the salad he ordered and told the waiter and staff And finally took it off his bill. Slip ups happen so he was not upset.

    We haven’t never been dissatisfied with a meal at this fine restaurant. The staff is experienced and efficient and the chef delivers a delicious entree every night. This is our “go to “ restaurant because we know we will not be disappointed. The Crème Brûlée is our favorite dessert in the Nashville area!

    We used Open Table to find a restaurant not too far from our hotel as we are driving cross country and our meal would be at the end of a long day. Chain restaurants weren’t on the ‘menu’ for us. What a wonderful experience it was to eat at Park Cafe, highlighted by being able to enjoy the food on the patio. Our server highlighted customer favorites, plus some of her own from the regular menu, when she also handed us the just-printed daily special items. We always appreciate places that enjoy trying new ideas. All in all, the attractiveness of the restaurant, attentive server, and most especially , the quality and presentation of our meal choices, made a great impression on us and we envy anyone who can eat here more than once.

    The food and service and valet were excellent. However, when we (2 of us) arrived, we were seated at a small table by the wall and there were plenty of larger tables (for 4) in several rooms (which were still empty when we left about 2 hrs. later). We were cramped, and there was no excuse for not at least asking if we would like a larger table. The other complaint I have is that there was a table close by with 4 people, one of whom was exceedingly rude by laughing like a hyena as if he was the only person in the restaurant. This, of course, is not the fault of the restaurant but just to mention the signs of the times with rudeness and "all about me" being at the center of some people's lives.

    Amazing place. Only hang up is if you have plans after dinner, this is not the place. Waited nearly 15 mins for host to come and seat us. Another 5-7 mins before server approached and asked for drinks, but she was incredibly sweet. Just lag times between drinks, courses, check drop (mainly due to staff entertaining one table or guest too long). Will definitely be back but next time without the intent to attend anything after and be on time.

    I couldn’t ask for a better dinner to celebrate our friend’s birthday. The Park Cafe Salmon over Szechuan green beans with a side of coconut rice is out of this world. The hoisin marinated bbq chop is most definitely the best chop you will ever put in your mouth. Hands down, the shrimp and smoked Gouda grits will beat any shrimp and grits out there. Chef Noah is the #1 chef in Nashville. The service is superb, and the wait-time for your meal is minimal. I highly recommend Park Cafe for your next dining experience.

    We’ve been to Park Cafe 3 times now & we’ll definitely be going back. Each time we were greeted w/kindness & asked where we would like to dine. Several options available, it’s clean & comfortable. We were treated like we really mattered. The food is outstanding, all 4 of us had different dinners & each one was excellent (my favorite is the salmon) I’m not really a bread person but they’re (fresh baked daily) is so delicious, I could have made it a meal!!

    Park Cafe has been a consistent favorite for over twenty years combining the ambiance of "Cheers" with great service and great food. If you are a salmon lover, try Park Cafe salmon, the best in Nashville. The watermelon salad is sweet and juicy and perfect for summer according to my wife and daughter. I had the wedge salad that comes with fried green tomatoes...wonderful.
