Our meals were very good. Our waitress Jaimie was excellent. She was very friendly, informative and attentive. My wife lost her glove in the restaurant and Jaimie helped us find it as it fell between the booth and the wall. Thank you Jaimie! The overall experience was a very nice casual dining experience. We will be back the next time we visit Nashville.

We had a fantastic dinner at Midtown Cafe! From the drinks to the food to our server, it was all an A+ experience. We started with the Brussels and Mussels (two different dishes). I had a delicious artichoke and lemon soup and spinach salad. My daughter loved her salmon entree. Our server was attentive, kind and gracious. Would highly recommend

My friends & I had the best time at Liberty Common for my birthday brunch! There were 16 of us & our waitress Lauren did a fantastic job with providing top tier service to all of us! Our food was delicious & the bottomless mimosas were perfect to kick off our day of fun on Broadway! Highly suggest for brunch in Nashville! :)
