I had had an wonderful meal at Park Cafe sometime before I officially moved to Nashville a little over two years ago and then yesterday, my husband (then boyfriend) and I decided to celebrate the happy occasion of Monday by going back for a nice meal. Being that it was a Monday, reservations were definitely not needed. We sat outdoors next to the stone fountain in their new(?) patio area and although it was a little chilly and a little difficult to imagine that you are not sitting in a former parking lot, it was for lack of better descriptive terms, nice. Pros: The side of green chili mac 'n' cheese was hands-down dope. I would almost recommend ordering two of these and calling it an entree. But then you'd have to order a side of two other entrees because the scallops and the duck that we ordered were also done quite well. The gnocchi that the duck sits on melts in your mouth. We also ordered the special appetizer, mussels. What was remarkable was that each mussel was served with its own sprinkling of ground up chorizo, tomato, and some thick, but delicate green sauce (sorry, don't remember the details of this one). Service was warm and pleasant. And at the end of the night, my husband asked, "How is it that I lived across the street for a year and never came here to drink alone?" Cons: You have to walk through a bunch of BMWs to get to the front door. read more

Enjoyed a wonderful anniversary dinner. Our server was attentive & knowledgeable, steering us towards great selections. I loved my apple & arugula salad followed by BBQ porkchop over sweet potato fingerlings & homemade applesauce. My husband enjoyed the iceberg wedge salad with fried green tomatoes, then the lamb shank with sweet potato fries & polenta cakes. Fabulous flavor combinations & great service. This was our first time back to Park Cafe after the renovation, and we give it two thumbs up! read more

I went to Park Cafe for the first time during Burger Week 2015. I had been wanting to go for months, as it is very near where I work, but just never seemed to make the time for it. Burger Week gave me the extra push that I apparently needed. Great ambiance overall, however, my main complaint (not critical) is that we were placed in the little sun room. Ordinarily, I think that this must be a great little room, but as the sun was still up, it was hot and the sun hit me square in the eye from the angle I was in. Unfortunately, there was another table already in the room, or I would have just shifted. All that being said, our server was nice, (my water glass did not get filled as quickly as I would like, but that is minor.) And the food was delicious! Aside from having their amazing burger which featured bacon jam, I tried their mango, goat cheese, butterleaf salad. It was FANTASTIC. Great flavor combos, and presented beautifully. I would definitely return! read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Park Cafe. Terrific food and terrific service. Brussels sprout salad, wedge salad, lobster and ricotta pasta, squash soup, salmon, fab side, two tasty desserts and all delightfully described and presented by server JJ, who was great from start to finish. read more

This place was AWESOME!! I had the Vegan Creole Curry. It was delicious and filling. I will defineitley be going back and taking my Hubby with me. :) read more

Park Cafe - Vegan Heaven - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

At Park Cafe, romance is in the air. Perhaps going with my best friend and his parents didn't really allow me to fully embrace the seductive lighting and elegant setting, but nonetheless. The free valet and impeccably attentive service didn't hurt, either. In retrospect, this would be an ideal date spot. Now, on to the main event... We started the evening off with a fizzle. The bread basket was shockingly lame. Even the herbalicious olive oil for dipping couldn't tempt me into picking up one of those boring, white slices of bread. Onward and forward... I had the local tomato salad with arugula, oyster mushrooms, almonds and sherry vinaigrette as an appetizer. It was fresh, light and simple. Easy to eat, but not nearly as special as the salmon tartare cones. They're served as five little ice creams filled with creme fraiche, piled high with salmon and topped off with a dab of wasabi and caviar. Exceptional, and pretty damn cute, to boot. As an entree I ordered the salmon with coconut rice, Szechuan green beans and crispy wontons in a sweet chili plum sauce. They accidentally served it with sweet pea risotto, then brought me a little skillet of coconut rice on the side. The risotto was bland and gummy, so I was particularly grateful when they brought out the rice skillet of redemption. Other than that, the green beans were great, as was the meat. Overall, everyone seemed thoroughly pleased with their choice (duck, chops, salmon) and only disappointed with certain accoutrements. The pork chop sides (flavorless green chile mac 'n' cheese, turnip greens), the bread, and the risotto weren't a hit amongst any of us, but everything else was well received. Overall, I'd happily return without hesitation, but for a restaurant of this caliber, I'm expecting even the minutia to rock my socks off. read more

Fantastic food with great service! We went to Park Cafe to celebrate my friend's birthday with a party of 10 or so on a quiet Thursday night. While they didn't have my 2 favorite scotches, Lagavulin and laphroaig, the server was very knowledgeable about scotch and offered great alternatives. To start, I had a special: beef enchilada with chilis and lots of other tasty things. I cleaned the entire plate it was so good! For my main course, I had the chicken and again I cleaned the plate. Everyone else loved their meals as well, from steak to shrimp to salmon. As it is a little expensive, I wouldn't recommend going there for just anything --better make it a special occasion especially if you're on a budget. read more

I came to Park Café on a Thursday evening to celebrate a birthday (not mine but still an excuse for dessert, right?). Our waiter was top notch. We never had to ask for a refill. He obviously knew the menu very well and all of the recommendations that he offered were excellent. We started with an order of the crispy oysters and another appetizer that I can't remember! I don't usually like fried oysters but these were actually really good. The batter was crisp and the oysters tasted like oysters and not frying oil. The size of the appetizers was just right: not too much. I also tried their beet, fennel, and citrus salad, which I thought was excellent. The presentation was really playful and, again, the size was spot on. For dinner I ordered their fish of the day which was incredible. Everything that came with the dish was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The size was really appropriate and the display was really nice. The waiter suggested a bottle and we were happy to take his suggestion, which was spot on. The wine went very well with the fish. My future mother-in law was the only person at my table who didn't order the fish. Instead she ordered one of all the vegetable sides and she enjoyed everything that she had. Being a birthday we had to get to dessert. I split the banana pudding with my fiancé. I typically associate banana pudding with hospital cafeterias and Nilla cookies. This was not that type of banana pudding. This banana pudding changed every preconceived notion that I had about banana pudding. This was the perfect banana pudding. If there were a banana pudding religion, this would be what they worshiped and Park Café would be their temple. I totally typed that with a straight face. I'm not giving this place 5 stars because I've only visited once and that seems premature. However, I am desperately searching my planner for another reason to visit and after that I am sure I will be upgrading this review soon. read more

This place is a gem of Sylvan Park. From the unassuming entrance you can't tell but this small restaurant is one of the best in Nashville. The menu changes as often as it should and provides fresh, seasonal foods with gourmet flair. A quaint bar area and tight seating allows each patron to "gawk" a bit at each dish as it floats through the dining room on the way to each table. We had the baked chicken, cous cous, pork chop and triple tail fish mains and they were all 10's out of 10. The salads were very "meh" though and didn't have much flavor. The deserts (lava cake and creme' brûlée) were delish. Table side service was an 11 out of 10. Our server was knowledgable and gregarious. He only added to what was already a great evening. ***The host (a blonde fellow) was snobby and seemed put out by every person that approached him. He all but shoved us in our seats and literally threw our menus on the table. He's a scab on this great little place and needs a lesson in customer service. I love Park Cafe and can't wait to go back....it's a terrific place! read more

Sometimes, you just want some comfort in the usual. Park Cafe has been a go-to place for many years, either when guests are in town, an anniversary is being celebrated, or for a group of colleagues are toasting the holidays. Sure, Nashville is slowly becoming a foodie destination with new and inventive dining options, but sometimes it's nice not to have to gamble on a special meal. I tend to try every new restaurant at some point, and have found other favorites, but few have racked up the points for consistently good food and service that Park Cafe has. For one wedding anniversary, we tried a new place that had just changed ownership, chef, menu and decor. But it fell hopelessly short of our expectations, and we decided to get a drink and dessert at Park instead. We just KNEW it would be good. Perhaps it is starting to look dated in there. Perhaps they don't have experimental flavors in the menu. Or it isn't a place for the pretty to see and be scene. But I know I can go in, and have a great meal and not have to worry about making reservations days in advance, changing into "nighttime" clothes, or care if my parents feel too out of place eating next to a table of Music Row scenesters. It's just comfortable. Oh and it's up there with Eastland Cafe's (their sister place) happy hour. All drinks are $5, and they have some great snackies to go with them. I've raced there from work many a night to get there before 6 on Friday. YUM. read more

Totally cute little place with a dark, homey feel. Romantic? Yes. The tables are rather close together though, so you may be surprised when you open your eyes after sharing that strand of spaghetti ;) Anyway, onto the food. We shared a salad with blue cheese, pear, and pomegranate vinaigrette. It was averagely tasty. My dining companion had their beef tenderloin special which was very good. I had the mahi mahi, which was delicious. We shared the profiteroles for dessert - a trio of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice creams housed in cream puff shells, drizzled with chocolate sauce - it was good, but would have been much better had the cream puffs been moister, warm, and the chocolate sauce also been hot to counter the cold of the ice cream. Alas, my search for profiterole perfection continues. Our server was pleasant, nice, and helpful. Good wine selection. A nice spot with great ambience and solid food. read more

Park Cafe is fantastic! First and foremost, I want to praise our waiter. I basically never leave yelp reviews but our waiter at Park Cafe was so awesome I wanted to leave a review as soon as we got home. Unfortunately I don't recall his name, but to the owner/manager, he was the waiter for us while we sat on the patio with our two dogs on St Patty's Day. I forgot my debit card and he went above and beyond to track us down outside like half a mile away. Beyond that, the food and ambiance was amazing! 10/10 will recommend to anyone in the area. read more

I had such high expectations of this place since I've had so many good experiences at Eastland Cafe (same owners), but I was sorely disappointed. I picked this place for my birthday, and here is what happened: We sat at the bar when we got there and had a couple of glasses of wine. We were served potato chips (from a bag - not fresh, house-made), and there was a big hair in them. Gross We sat down at our table, and ordered two appetizers - the crab cakes & the etouffee. The etouffee was not very good (but crawfish normally tastes a bit fishy, but my father-in-law wanted to order it), however the crab cakes were delish - they were really crunchy and had a nice corn relish. For our entrees, I ordered the shrimp with saffron risotto. The shrimp were very burned on the tails, which imparted a bitter taste to the rest of the dish. The risotto was ok, but I seriously could make better risotto at home. Very dry and muddy flavors. My husband had the duck, which he wasn't happy with (he's a chef, so he's pretty critical, and I guess I am too). Then the desserts - Creme Brulee Napoleon, Chocolate Semifreddo, and some other banana something. The Napoleon was "to die for" as they say. The Semifreddo was freddo (completely frozen), not Semifreddo as it was labeled. I expected a slightly frozen, custardy consistency, but it was completely frozen. The last dessert was so unmemorable that I can't even remember what was in it. I guess I have high expectations when you're paying top dollar for food. I just don't feel like I got my money's worth here. I expected everything to be near-perfect, but it fell far short. read more

Wish I could give this place 10 stars. It's our favorite happy hour spot in Sylvan Park. Amazing cocktails and high end food for a reasonable price. Go to date night spot. Recommend sitting in their back patio by the fire pit. read more

I met some friends here for happy hour... I wouldn't say I was disappointed, but I wasn't overly impressed either. There's a list of several appetizers and drinks that are all $5 during happy hour, so we split several apps and each tried a different cocktail. The food was really good the most part, and all very beautifully presented, but the portions were tiny. the $5 price tag didn't really seem like much of a deal. There's free valet, which is always helpful in Sylvan Park. I might go back to try an actual dinner (especially after reading all these rave reviews of the desserts!), but I don't think I'll be making this a regular happy hour locale. We ended up walking down to Neighbors for 2-for-1's after Park Cafe's happy hour ended. read more

I had dinner here with a client and we ate at the bar. The Mussels were phenomenal! The Bartender was awesome too! How often do you find a beautiful woman that can talk single malts with you? I had the duck for dinner at it was awesome! My client had the pork chop and it was great as well. This will be a regular stop for me on my trips to Nashville. read more

I ate at the bar with my friend Emily in March 2006 and loved it then as much as I do now. It helped that Keith and Nicole walked in - I was star-struck! Still, I managed to eat green chili mac-n-cheese. You'll always run into your neighbors at the bar (celebs or not!) Their specials are fantastic although their scallop, duck and beef entrees are mainstays. Their fried calamari is great for sharing. My boyfriend and I love to share their entrees since they are so large (they split in the kitchen onto separate plates!) read more

I had an impeccable special occasion dinner at Park Cafe! We made a reservation for eight guests during Vandy graduation weekend and were lucky enough to sit upstairs in what felt more like a cozy spot at a dinner party than a crowded restaurant. I'm somewhat leery of the Nashville fine dining scene in general, but this food was absolutely spot on - from the appetizers (a BOAT of deliciously crunchy calamari, cheese plate, figs) to entrees (I had duck, mom had a mushroom risotto, others had filet, chicken...) the chef very clearly has a strong command on his art. The textures, flavors, balance and presentation were clearly well thought out and executed beautifully. Our server, Sherrlia, was warm and welcoming in the quintessential Nashville way. Knowledgeable but not overbearing and just a hint of humor thrown in for good measure. The GM also graciously made a stop at our table to pour wine and be sure we were well taken care of. Overall, a great spot for a very special dinner with friends, family or a date. read more

We recently had dinner with a group of friends here and wasn't sure what to expect, as it was my first time there. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised, it was wonderful from start to finish! Great cocktails that were really unique and tasty. The menu at first seemed a bit cookie-cutter, but once there and having the waiter fill in some of the blanks, we were reassured. Since we had a large group, we did a lot of passing and sharing, and everyone enjoyed everything. The desserts were also top notch! Service was GREAT, Daniel was our server. He was helpful from start to finish and patient with our group (sometimes with a large group it's hard to get everyone to focus)! We're definitely looking forward to our next visit! My only slight bit of a complaint is that it feels a touch dated, linen table cloths... read more

TLDR: valet park, back is quiet, bar is loud and hipster. if you're vegetarian, they bend over backwards to take care of you. Great date spot! My girlfriend and I got seated in the back, which was MUCH quieter than the front. The other noticable difference between front and back was the average age of the patrons-- the back's average age was easily 50+, while the front bar area was full of Sylvan park hipster yo-pros. If my girlfriend and I went back with friends for a late night fancy drink the front would be much better, but since I was going for the quiet candlelight kind of date the back was wonderful. Our server was highly knowledgeable and had some pretty epic descriptions of all the food and wines. I founds this very welcome, since I didn't really know what I was doing and knew I was going to drop some good money on this dinner. I got a salmon with coconut rice and wontons and my girlfriend got a custom-made vegetarian plate. Taking her places is kind of tricky sometimes since vegetarian options are always limited, so seeing them bend over backwards like that was awesome! We each got a glass of wine, and it was very good! I'm not a wine expert, so our server helped us pair the wine with our chosen meals. Wish I had just gotten the bottle in retrospect, but we skipped the second glass so we could get the creme de brule, which was also great. It was sweet and very creamy, and had caramel drizzled over it, which reminded me of a caramel ice cream sundae mixed with a dash of heaven. I wore a polo shirt and jeans and was just dressed up enough not to feel awkward for dinner. I would suggest dress shirt + jeans at least. You could wear a suit and would be the best dressed in the room, but it wouldn't be weird either. They said their menu changes seasonally, but I assume some options are always available. I'm definitely going back! read more

I can not say enough about the YUMMY food and INCREDIBLE service we experienced for an event we hosted at Park Cafe! We rented out the back patio for a Vanderbilt event and the staff of Park Cafe absolutely outdid themselves!! In a world of short staffing for restaurants, this staff rocked it! The food was SO delicious and everything came out fresh and well prepared. Christina our event planner was perfect, Christian our bartender was great and so friendly. The numerous wait staff were amazing and worked hard to make our event a success. You MUST have the salmon and/or Pork Chop! Also the chefs Creme Brûlée! To die for!! The back patio is covered with a tent and has cute lights strung above you. They also have a couple fire top tables to gather at as well. I can't say enough about what a great job they did for us. We will be back for food AND events! Thank you Park Cafe!! read more

I've been looking forward to revisiting Park Cafe & was not disappointed!! This place is yummy!! The arugula salad with fresh blueberries was delicious & the barrata fresh mozzarella & heirloom tomatoe salad was wonderful as well! Fantastic wine list keeps me coming back! read more

Great spot on Murphy road. Salmon is outstanding. Nice wine selection. I feel like it's a touch overpriced, but they can be because they are the only restaurant of it's type within 5 miles of their location. Worth a try for sure! read more

Great spot. Cozy and food was good. The cobbler was buy fat my favorite ...yum. Service was also spectacular. Enjoy

OH YES!!!! I am SO excited to have discovered this amazing restaurant. I've heard a lot about it, and finally went there with a friend to try it out. We got a delicious bottle of wine, four apps to share (the seared rare tuna, the smoked salmon, pot stickers and cheese plate) and then split the steak, which the kitchen was kind enough to actually split and cook differently because I want blood oozing outta my steak. Everything was FANTASTIC, perfectly cooked, full of original flavors and different combinations of ingredients. This is easily one of the best restaurants in Tennessee, no doubt. Dudes: If you want to impress your lady, take her here!!!! read more

The atmosphere was fantastic! The pace was perfect, it took about 2 1/2 hours from the time we sat down to when we got the check but to me that allowed plenty of time for great conversation & we didn't feel rushed at all. Our server was very polite and knowledgeable. He had tried almost everything on the Valentine's Day menu. He was very respectful & never interupted us. It was a set menu for Valentine's day but everything was very good from the Tuna Tartar to the salads & entrees. I'm excited to go back and try everything on the regular menu. read more

I have never been disappointed with the food here!! We love this place! Doug is our favorite server! He goes above and beyond with the service he gives and could not be more attentive And caring. We truly feel like the staff here cares about giving their customers a great experience while dinning here! Along with the phenomenal food!! Park cafe is my number one recommendation for out of town guest. There is such a neighborhood vibe here. We cannot say enough good things about this place. Definitely will be coming back!! read more

Amazing and affordable! Loved this place. Food choices on the menu were excellent. Try the West Side Shrimp! We had the special of the day which were sea scallops in a pea purée. Heaven! Free valet (what?!) and staff was so friendly and accommodating. Away from the hustle and bustle of Nashville. Can't say enough good things about this place. read more

See all

Testing Mac n Cheese whenever I can has become a pastime for me. Park Cafe has a serious contender for best m/c in Nashville: green chili mac and cheese. All it needs is a siiiiiiiide of hidden vallllley ranch. Just kidding. It needed nothing but the spoon for shoveling it into my mouth. Also notable: bourbon pecan pie with molasses ice cream. Damn girl. Welcome to the South! read more

So I finally got to try the macaroni at Park Café. I've heard over the years that it is the best in town. It comes as a side dish in a medium ramekin for five dollars. It has green chilies and breadcrumbs and is pretty creamy. It was great. That being said, I find that that macaroni side dish at Urban Grub edges it out. Still totally worth the splurge if you happen to be there. For appetizers I really enjoyed the cheese stuffed peppadews, There were only three, but they were wonderful. As an entrée, my husband had the 12 ounce steak. He found it very flavorful but a little tough. At $26 the price is hard to pass up though. My entrée consisted of a wedge salad and the macaroni. The wedge was good, but not the best I've had. I had a cocktail, I can't remember the name, but it was homemade lemonade with some spicy liquors. I definitely recommend that. Yum! My husband had a Scottish rum cask beer that we had never heard of. It was amazing. But the highlight of the meal was the desert. We split a Lane layer cake. And it was incredible. Layers of caramel, coconut, cream cheese icing and white cake. I highly recommend this desert. read more

Oh so cute! We were visiting Nashville so we couldn't tell exactly, but seems a bit off the beaten path-- tho still not hard to get to. They had valet, but the guy just let us pull into an open spot. The host asked us immediately for the name on our reservation, but when we went in there was barely anyone there. As we walked past the bar we overhead the bartender telling someone else that it's b/c it's the day after Thanksgiving. Nice-- he offered two different tables, so I got to choose : ) I chose to sit by the window. It was a bit cool, but they had a little space warmer for my feet (awesome!). Really cozy, relaxed, romantic atmosphere. Tables are a bit tight together, but not in an uncomfortable way--- just a cozy way. Several small rooms, a fake glowing fireplace, textured walls, and bright Southern artwork added to the good ambiance. We ordered the goat cheese appetizer, for entrees steak special and brussel sprout salad (omgoodness, uber cool-- topped with an egg) + green chili mac and cheese (creamy, served in a small warm pot, nice kick of spice from the chiles). Best part--- scotch caramel pudding, OMG yummm, Decent portion size (we were full!). Menu wasn't overwhelmingly long, or "scattered" as another reviewer said. But I wasn't impressed with the wine list. Cocktail menu was fun (jalapeno cocktail? I didn't try it, but sounded great) While a serious foodie might think the food wasn't amazing, I surely thought it was good. Service was also great-- continually checked up on us without being overwhelming, and good recommendations to help me make a good decision! read more

Love everything about this place! When you first walk into this establishment, you know you are some place special! We were walked upstairs to the second floor where we were seated at a table in a cozy corner. Great atmosphere to enjoy some delicious food and great company. Our waiter was so nice and helpful with ordering. The best recommendation was the mac and cheese! We were pleasantly surprised by the portion of this "side" dish. Next time, I'd just order the mac and cheese for my entree! It may be the best mac and cheese I've ever eaten. All the other food was absolutely divine. We practically licked our plates cleaned! read more

We had dinner here with a small group of friends who have dined all over the city of Nashville. Our table had a variety of dishes from salmon, steak, scallops, chicken and trout. So it was a good cross section of food. All was good, but not great. Preparation of all dishes had an asian slant and all were quite spicy. Two of the dishes had to be sent back because they were underdone. The restaurant is quite small, but has a large outdoor dining area that looked quite nice. Overall, good food, very good service, nice atmosphere. In particular, the food was less than expected. read more

The food was absolutely delicious and the restaurant had a lovely ambiance. Our only issue keeping it from 5 stars was out server. We were first-timers a couple weeks ago and she knew we were there for drinks and appetizers. She never explained the happy hour menu and we heard about it after the table next to us had to ask her about it. She was very stand-offish. We will definitely be back for the food, but the server was not our favorite. Everyone else was wonderful! read more

I can't really say enough positive things about the level of service this place delivers. From the hostess to the server, I felt like they all believed in the food they served. Speaking of the food, it was pretty good. It wasn't the best I've had, but the ideas the chef had were inspired and risky. I really liked the shrimp corn dog. It was really spicy and very original. While the lamb had a good flavor, it was too tough in texture. The fall root veggies and cranberries that came with it were really nice. I would order just a side of that. The Mac and cheese will be great if you like jalapeños, but I'm more of a traditionalist with Mac and cheese, and found the pepper taste over powering. The unoaked Chardonnay was perfect however. I can't say enough about it. As was the post dinner espresso. All in all a great date place! read more

We went to this place to celebrate a birthday. We went for happy hour because they have some fabulous specials. They have a special drink menu ($4.00 & $5.00 drinks) and a $5.00 appetizer menu. The drinks were fabulous. I had a mojito martini and then tried the pomegranate margarita. Usually I think happy hour drinks are watered down or cheap liquors, but these were not. The drinks were very well made, delicious, and had a good amount of liquor in them. I ordered two appetizers, thinking that because they were so cheap, it wouldn't be a full size appetizer. Wrong. I wouldn't have finished one. There was a group of us, so we all shared. The hummus was probably my favorite. I also had the quesadilla and it was yummy! I tried the zucchini and part of a fish taco. All were delicious. I would love to go back and try the full menu because the appetizers were so good. Of course, I'll be back because the happy hour specials are unbeatable too. read more

Had the special, strip steak with mashers, was cooked perfect and excellent flavor. The chicken meatball app was surprisingly tasty, I was doubtful. Now the dessert was not to be missed. Creme Brulee with almond philo pastry. All the meat/fish/veggies are local grown. Oh and the coconut mojito was unbelievable, I wanted a whole pitcher! read more

I've never had a dish or drink I didn't absolutely LOVE here, and I've been a frequent guest for years. I adore our favorite bartender, Jessica, and the general manager, Christina. She managed to help me accommodate a large party for a very significant life event at the drop of a hat due to scheduling difficulties with another restaurant, and I'm SO glad we came here instead. Before this, I'd only dined at the bar or at small tables, and I was IMPRESSED by the heated patio outdoors and the attention that we received from Doug. He had the entire patio to tend, and probably inside tables as well, but he treated us like we were the only people there. The community here is phenomenal, and the staff will recognize and greet you by name the second or third time you come in. This place is a gem. The regulars are all great friends, the kitchen is quick and always on their game, and the staff and owners couldn't be kinder. 10/10, Park Café. Strongly recommend: Duke of Cuke, butternut squash soup, hot chicken tacos, scallops, and Szechuan green beans. read more

My favorite restaurant, and I'm from New York. The trout, the carpaccio, everything here is the best I've ever had. And the calamari! So perfectly crispy, I've tried to find places that can compare to this since my first time at Park, and I've given up. I won't bother with calamari anywhere else! Staff is friendly, they have that whole southern hospitality thing down. read more

Visiting from out of town we were staying in Sylvan Park and were conveniently able to walk to the Park Cafe on recommendation of our host. Service was outstanding and food was even more. We had the mussels, calamari, wedge salad and the steak frites special. So yummy! One of the best steak frites I have ever had! Our bartender /server, I believe her name was Kelsey was super accommodating when we decided to move to their beautiful outdoor space in the back. Super laid back atmosphere, great service and great food. read more
