    My girlfriend and I chose Evelyn's for our Valentine's Day dinner and we are so happy that we did. The food was amazing and service was the best we've had in a year of living in Nashville. The meals and drinks came out quickly and our server Maddy was so kind. She went above and beyond to make our experience even better. We can't wait to come back!

    Husband and I went for valentines day - had a great experience. Food was delicious, servers were kind and informative - very laid back evening. We were seated in the back area so the ambiance was a bit lacking compared to the main dining room but didn’t take away from our evening. Would go back for a date night!

    Music City stalwart with a menu of intriguing plates, combinations, seasoning, service and presentation. Midtown also respects, protects and burnishes the legacy of beloved and indefatigable raconteur Randy Rayburn. The staff is cordial, attentive, and responsive and it leaves you with the impression they are one big family. Kristine was fantastic this morning and emblematic of all who seat and serve you. I consider Midtown Cafe to be a convenient and terrific setting for a family occasion, to sit alone and dine at the bar, or to conduct a business meeting. I have done this often. Randy's greeting was always, "Welcome to our home." He meant it. Midtown continues to feel like home and there's a reason Nashville boasts The Randy Rayburn School of Culinary Arts at Nashville State. Special man, special commitment to pleasing his guests, and what impact he had on the community. For me, there's a magnetic pull to return. I do not resist it.
