Love this place for breakfast and dinner, haven't tried lunch but I'm sure it would be fabulous also. Shrimp and grits were delicious, husbands steak was perfect. Fried green tomatoes were a disappointment-undercooked, not up to usual standard but over all we had a great dinner.

Very unassuming on the outside, quaint on the inside. The food was OUTSTANDING, I had a ceasar salad and the veal picata and both were delish. The waiter was knowledgeable, friendly, efficient. The highlight - the spicy lemon martini made by Gina, absolutely perfect...so I had two! Highly recommend this place to anyone.

We ate at Midtown Cafe to take advantage of the free shuttle bus to TPAC. We weren't aware there's a minimum spend of $40.00 / person in order to qualify for the shuttle. We all ordered a fish dish, and the grouper, salmon, trout and crab cakes we perfectly prepared. Will definitely go back.

Mid Town Cafe is a perfect place for a business lunch. The food is delicious and consistently good. The vibe of the restaurant is warm and friendly. Long time Nashville natives will recognize the Sunset Caesar from Sunset Grille and other favorites from Randy's previous restaurants. We have the salmon on top of the Sunset Caesar (delicious, perfect) and the Pacific Salad (delicious). I noticed the brunch menu - it looks amazing and may be the next visit.

Mouth-watering meal. Start to finish it was an elevated experience. The menu enticed us with its variety and descriptions. Drinks and wine list are comprehensive and affordable. We enjoyed mussels, fried green tomatoes, Caesar salad, grilled grouper, shrimp and grits, meat loaf and, of course, the velvety lemon artichoke soup. Ready to try the rest of the menu!
