I've been to this resturant in the past for a work lunch. I had lamb chops and they were fantastic! This was about four years ago. A few weeks ago, I was craving lamb and remebered the resturant, this time spending my own money (keyphrase: my own money). Needless to say, I was quite disappointed. When I ordered the lamb chops, I emphasized that I wanted them WELL. The server mentioned the butternut squash, which on the menu said that mashed potatoes were included. I'm not a fan of the squash and expressed that. She talked me into trying them, saying that the mashed potatoes and the squash were mixed together (odd, but I'd try it). I get my meal. Not only were the lamb chops medium instead of well, the squash did not come with the mashed potatoes and they tasted like they had freezer burn. This $30 plate also had an over vinegarized small "salad" that was discusting. Of course, I asked for the mashed potatoes, which were good, not exceptional. It turns out the menu had not been updated and someone in the kitchen may have previously been a short order cook. There was no one else in the resturant but me and one other table at this time (I got there right at opening on a Sunday), I don't understand why my food had to be rushed and due to the fact that it was $30 before taxes and tips; I don't understand why I was fed the improperly cooked meat and the freezer burned vegetables. At that price, I'd expect for it to be fresh and right the first time. This wasn't how I remembered. Then again, the first time I didn't pay myself, so I could have overlooked the mistakes. Pros + Valet, Service, Ambience Cons - Food http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html I frequent Midtown Cafe evey few months for lunch. I always get something different but I start with the artichoke soup. I used to think it is the best in town until I had the artichoke soup at Bridges in Belle Meade. Wow! It is excellent. I will still go to Mid Town every now & then with the gals. But when I want artichoke soup I am going to Bridges. By the way it is less expensive than Midtown Cafe. http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html My date and I went to Midtown Cafe. Consuelo waited on us and suggested the Scallops. My date went with the suggestion and they were out of this world.They came with a mac and cheese that had lobster and brie in it. Wow . We had a bottle of Evolution with it. Thank you Consuelo for dinning experince, it was wonderful. We will go back there again. Pros + Scallops, Valet , Reservations Cons - none http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html This place is fabulous. My fiance and I dined there two weeks ago and we're STILL talking about it. The server was fantastic! The food was to die for! I suspect that Midtown Cafe offers the best fare in Nashville. Dine there and enjoy yourself. Pros + delicious food, excellent service Cons - small... but romantic. i suggest making a reservation http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html Loved It. My wife and I made reservations and could not wait to get there. We arrived five minutes before our reservations and the place was packed, we waited in the bar for about ten minutes and then we were sat. Greg our waiter was the GREATEST, he was on top of every thing. The WineList is wonderful, and the CRABCAKES are nothing short of perfect. We will be going back soon. Pros + Valet, Greg, Food, Wine List, The Cute Little Bar Cons - None http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html located just off west end avenue, this small, upscale restaurant conjures up a very romantic atmosphere with indirect lighting and bold displays of art... http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html get cozy at this romantic eatery... http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html food was not to be faulted - nothing was out of this world but we really enjoyed our evening. it's a perfect place for a quiet intimate dinner. could even be a bit romantic... http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html I read a couple of good reviews about this Tricia person and also about the restaurant. Took my date for dinner tonite; our first formal date. It was a great experience. The food was great especially the bread and Tricia happened to be our waitress. I didn't know the name until after i got home and saw my receipt. I even asked her about who Tricia was and she said it was her! She was absolutely the best waitress ( excusez moi if i am using the wrong term) I have ever had or met. She was very pleasant with us and was just wonderful. Her recommendations about the food was perfect and we had a great evening. Thanks Tricia! I'd go there again just for her :) Pros + Fantastic service. Tricia was wonderful. Cons - The lemon artichoke soup was a little too tangy for me but my date loved it. http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html Carpaccio was so thin you had to scrape it of your plate and it was served with mustard! Mussels were undercooked. the marlin was overcooked. The brussel sprouts were on the menu as caramelized, but in reality hardly blanched. All in all very overrated cooking, but a nice atmosphere. http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html About Tricia.......i've never met her, but the way she writes about herself is creative and confident. She must be good. http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html My wife and I were recommended by a friend of a friend of the owner, Randy Rayburn. Being a aspiring culinary, I'm very observant. When we walked in we were greated with a beautiful smile that could make anyone feel right at home A. Then she told us that our server would be right with us. When no one came by right away, she said she would look after us. We were blown away by her awareness. My wife ordered the scallops and I had the lamb. We asked our server, Tricia to choose the wine for us. We loved her suggestions so much we ended up getting a bottle each. Randy you have a gem of a restaurant but even more of a gem with a server like Tricia. If she ever moves on, let us know. My wife and I would follow her anywhere. http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html The bread basket contained nondescript non-warm rye bread - not bad but nothing special. The crab cakes were very good, but a tad small. The accompanying sauces were O.K., but nothing special. Mixed results on the entrees. My trout was wonderful - nice grilled smokey flavor, tender and served with a great corn relish. The two (more would have been better) fried green tomatos had a goat cheese paste between them (think sandwich) and it worked fantastically. My wife's entree, the Veal Picatta was cooked O.K. and looked great, but was very bland, and the side noodles could have also used more flavor. Both entrees were average size. The dessert, chocolate molten cake, was more like a baked cupcake with a dark pudding filling. Nice, but nothing great. Overall, nothing was unacceptable, but at a price point where many entrees are $20 and up, it could have been better. Pros + friendly service, trout tasty Cons - small crab cakes, bread, veal picatta bland http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html This place was recommended by a friend of my husbands for a romantic dinner and he was correct. The atmosphere was great. The food was wonderful. I would recommend the lamb chops and the molten chocolate cake. Our waiter Doug was also very helpful. Pros + great food, service http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html Midtown has always been one of my top Nashville dining spots, even more with the new face lift and Jimmy Phillips as the chef http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html This is a great restaurant for a date; charming atmosphere and good food, sure to impress. http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html My date and I both were first time dinners, let me tell you we were both pleased with our evening. The service was wonderful, great wine list, and the food was top rate, we each had the tasting menu and were blown away by the food. I would highly recomend this place to anyone. Pros + wine list, food, service Cons - parking http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html Upon entering the restaurant, we witnessed an angry customer asking why his table was not ready. From there, it was downhill. After being seated, we waited at least 10 minutes to be greeted and found it hard to talk over the cackling drunk sitting at the table behind us. I was disturbed at the waiter's "you don't want to order that" to all the entrees priced below $27. I was a rebel and ordered the basil pasta with the blackened shrimp. Pasta Roni would have been a tastier alternative. I might also mention that the bathroom had one stall and the staff suggested I use the men's room. Pros + Bread was Good Cons - Not Romantic at All, Overpriced, Gas Station bathroom http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html I was referred here while on business. The place is small, but the menu offers a variety of dishes and the wine selection is ambitious. I was told I had to try the crabcakes, which were tasty, but a little heavy on filler (the menu should list them as crab and artichoke cakes). I will say that I have had better experiences at this price point, but the knowledgable service and selection were enough to bring me back. Pros + Menu, Winelist, Service Cons - , Design http://www.yellowbot.com/midtown-cafe-nashville-tn.html Intimate restaurant with incredible quality food and service.
