    The NOVA salmon omelet was delicious. I've never had a meal there that wasn't delightful, and the service was excellent as usual.

    Another outstanding experience! This was our second visit in a month and that says it all. The food, service and ambiance are consistently excellent. We brought along some friends and everyone agreed it was an amazing evening. We started with the steamed mussels and crab cakes both dishes were superb. For entrees, we chose trout, blackened grouper and shrimp and grits. All dishes were well prepared and beautifully presented. Our server was Ms. Huskey and she was a total pro. We all ordered the coconut cake for dessert and it was fabulous. Cocktails are very generous and fairly priced as is the wine. Can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Five stars all the way!

    For years I’ve loved dining at Midtown. The great thing is that it doesn’t seem to get old. The food is still wonderful (try brunch too) Some of the best waitstaff in town.

    We like sitting at the small, cozy bar and interacting with Gena. She’s been at Midtown for 23 years! She’s delightful, makes great drinks, knows the menu inside & out, and can recommend the perfect wine to pair with your meal. High on our list: the lamb, crab cakes, lemon artichoke soup, and butterscotch jalapeño bread pudding!

    Fabulous food - love the location and the casual but upscale feel. Always happy to see there is a “specials” menu in addition to the regular menu. Dale was an attentive and knowledgeable server! Just a great evening overall! Thank you MTC!
