    Absolutely one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. We booked our reservation on the spur of the moment as we had other dining plans that we bailed on because the restaurant was overly touristy and noisy and ridiculously priced. Midtown Cafe saved our evening. We are pescatarians so it is always a challenge finding more than one seafood entree on menus these days, so we were thrilled to have a variety of seafood items to choose from. We started with the mussels as an appetizer, which was cooked perfectly. My husband ordered the sea bass and I had the trout. Both dishes were delicious and artfully prepared. Cocktails were excellent and priced fairly. Our server, Carol was phenomenal. A true five star pro -- attentive, friendly and totally on top of everything. The cozy ambiance made for a perfect evening. We are grabbing some friends and coming back very soon.

    Ordered the Thanksgiving take home pack and I can’t say enough good things about it. The packaging was great (sturdy and easy to reheat in the oven), absolutely everything tasted amazing - you could really tell they didn’t take any shortcuts cooking the food, the quantity was very generous, and the overall variety was exceptional. I will definitely do this again and will certainly make a point to come into the restaurant as well based on how great everything was here. Really amazing!
