Well well welll Welcome back, it has been a while, it felt good to get out and enjoy a great meal, for our Mother's Day weekend. Special shout-out to Damian, our server and Evette our Hostess & Mansa our valet Now let's get to it, started with Wedge and garden salad- the wedge was perfect and the dressing was spot on, the garden salad had fruits and nuts and some kinda peanut dressing. What a pleasant start. We moved to the Gumbo, we are a bit of Gumbo snobs- and let me tell you "shey" "it was good yeah" perfect roux.., with right amount of sausage and rice For the Entree we had the Salmon, Meatballs- stuffed with cheese, the catch of the day mai mai, And the piece de resistance the shrimp&grits. This place is a long time Nashville Favorite, if you haven't already and you are new to Nashville, put this one on you list. If you are from Nashville, come on by and visit them again. Bon Appetite read more

The ambience is passable, the service is pretty basic. Now, I love food and especially spicy food, but I got the avocado toast, my party members got the shrimp and grits and another the chicken sausage scramble, and they were all way too spicy. Maybe it was a chili oil? Or some kind of homemade hot sauce? It was too much and over powered the dishes. The worst was the radishes in the avocado toast! Way too bitter and covered in the spicy seasoning, ruined the avocado toast (which was $15). I got cheddar on my scrambled eggs on the avocado toast and the chefs did not deliver. The saving grace was the chicken sausage, now THAT on the avocado toast would be superb! Hailey was our server and she was great, I could tell she was dealing with quite a few tables and was very polite, kind, and attentive. read more

I had a relaxing Sunday brunch. Music added a nice ambiance to the patio. The Butternut Squash soup and Creme Brûlée dessert were my choices as I wanted something lite and decadent. Server was on point, it seemed she was always a step ahead of me. Thank you!!! read more

What an amazing experience. Food and drinks were on point. The service was exceptional. They even combined our 2 group reservations to 1 big table for eight. Chef Paul even came to the table side to describe the food. Very warm environment with a touch of class. A definite must try when in Nashville. read more

I ordered the "TN Hereford Beef Burger" off of the bar menu. I requested it to be cooked medium well, but it was brought to the table medium at best. I was hungry, so I didn't bother sending it back. The burger itself was larger than I expected (no complaints there!). I would have forgone the bacon-onion jam as I felt it overpowered all of the other components of the burger, including the beef. The generous helping of fries on the side was cooked well but had way too much (what I believe was) rosemary seasoning, again overpowering the potatoes themselves. The service was ok, definitely subpar to what I would expect at a restaurant of this caliber. I may give the restaurant if presented with the opportunity, but I think I'll order something else. read more

Park Cafe - TN Hereford Beef Burger with fries - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

With all of the hype from new expensive restaurants joining the Nashville scene, Park Cafe is consistently superior. It is tucked within Sylvan Park in a quieter, convenient location. I have yet to be disappointed. Tonight we started with the Fig & Pig pizza. It was flavorful and the perfect small plate to start. Our waiter, Coffee, was quick and attentive. For our entrees, my boyfriend got the pork ribeye which was tender and a substantial portion. I got the lobster ravioli (which was the price of a small plate but the perfect amount for a full meal). The entire meal (which included 4 drinks total) was one third of the cost of a typical nice restaurant in Nashville. I will be bringing my elderly father back here because the atmosphere is ideal and quiet enough for him to enjoy. read more

We enjoyed a second meal here and it was just as good as the first. Our server, Henry was great. Very attentive, great recommendations, and a fun sense of humor. I had the strawberry beet salad and it was fabulous, I think I'll start making them for myself just from the inspiration. We shared the stuffed dates, which I didn't love. The date kind of gets lost and the romenesco takes over. The spinach and chicken dumplings are a 12/10. I also had the shrimp and grits which were excellent, I'd definitely get them again. I capped off my meal with the strawberry shortcake and it was to die for. A lovely experience and we'll be sure to return. read more

Bland insipid menu for their bland, insipid customers. Got the wedge with fried green tomatoes. Tomatoes not prepared correctly. Very crunchy. Not what I want, at least. And red pepper jelly? Bleh. Ordered salmon as an add on. I've had better on airlines. Completely overcooked, dry tasteless. Went to be with people I care about. Will never ever ever go back again. Waste of time and money. read more

Literally my favorite restaurant in Nashville,TN. I have yet to find an entree here that I don't care for. The fillet mignon entree paired with white cheddar hash and asparagus is my go-to favorite. I also love the salmon dish paired with coconut rice and brussel sprouts. They constantly update the menu with seasonal favorites. 5 stars doesn't rate them high enough - They're located in a cute little neighborhood with a couple restaurants and bars located on the same block. This is a must!!! You won't be disappointed. Lisa, Doug, DeMarco, Jessica... they're like family to my fiancé and I. We can't say enough about Park Cafe. Located in Sylvan Park/ West Nashville. read more

Walk in the door to a very intimate and cozy restaurant. Very busy. In fact, well organized chaos better described the environment. We check in with the host who offers us a spot at the bar while we wait for our table (we're about an hour early for our reservation). I didn't catch the bartender's name, but she was an absolute treat. Made fantastic beer and cocktail recommendations. Very accommodating considering how busy she was. Absolutely perfect. We eventually get sat at our table and are greeted by, quite literally my favorite waiter we've had in Nashville, Ben. We explain this is our first time in, and he gives us some backstory to the restaurant, the physical building, and navigates the menu with us. We opted for the Calamari to start. Perfectly crisp. House-made marinara on bottom with Zucchini. Home run appetizer. In addition, Ben brought bread with a sinfully good Chimichurri to go with it. Next up, I went with the Steamed Mussles with a wedge, and my gal got the Artichoke Tortellini. Utterly fantastic. The mussels were incredibly fresh, and perfectly sized. The broth they were steamed in was absolutely delicious. The wedge was served with strawberry preserves that really gave an interesting twist on a traditional wedge. The Tortellini was unbelievable. Obviously handmade in house, the artichoke parmesan sauce it was served with was incredible rich. Fantastic dining experience. We bantered with Ben for a few more minutes after we committed war crimes to our entrees. Eventually he drops our check off..... 83 bucks folks.... That's it. I was flabbergasted.

Thank you Park Cafe. Thank you Ben. read more

Again, did not disappoint. We had a table of six and everything we got was UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. Check out this restaurant. Food is amazing and staff is fabulous. read more

I come here a couple of times per month, and I've always had a great experience. I can really only speak to the wine, as I come here for happy hour for a French group. Still, the ambiance on the terrace is great, and it's the perfect place to be when the weather is decent. Even when the heat was an issue, the restaurant put out mister fans which really made the experience enjoyable. I've sampled several of the appetizers as well, all of which are very good. That being said, the place isn't the cheapest, so be advised. Still, in my opinion it is definitely worth it! Happily, Clayton Cohn read more

Tried happy hour here. The inside of the restaurant is very nice, but the patio is fantastic. There is a huge outdoor area with a lovely modern fireplace & lots of varied seating. I appreciated that they did happy hour at the bar AND outside. They also have complimentary valet parking, which is a huge plus! I got the happy hour sparkling wine & my boyfriend got the margarita, which he loved. We shared the goat cheese pizza, green chile mac n cheese, and hummus. The pizza was pretty good, but could have used more goat cheese. The green chile went very well with the mac, and the addition of the pesto & feta to the hummus really worked. The one thing that bothered me was that their separate happy hour menu lists a number of items that are actually just regular-priced items from the overall menu, which gives the illusion that you're getting a deal when you aren't. The only discounted happy hour items are those with two prices -- the lower price is that offered during happy hour, and the higher is regular pricing. Everything with just one price is pulled off the main menu for regular price. When you consider this, there are only a handful of happy hour items -- mostly just pizzas & mussels. read more

In the midst of one culinary mediocrity after another, the Park Cafe was a wonderful bright spot! We started with a chicken liver pate (more of a mousse) split between two of us. It was a gentle liver pate, not overwhelming as they so often are. Needed more on the side mushrooms, onions and pesto. They were delicious. And definable more bread! I had the lamb chops - excellent, nice sized serving, good char and rare. Just the way I like them. My companion had the catfish, served with a superb crispy crust and still moist. Again, excellent. For dessert, we split a wonderful key lime pie. Cost, including tip with no alcohol was @$90. Not cheap but worth it. Highly recommend! read more

Food is awesome- ambience depends on which room you get Interesting though they charged 9.25% sales tax twice and the liquor "sin" tax which is legal in TN but doubling up the 9.25% tax seems odd and they really couldn't explain - buyer beware read more

One of the best restaurants I've been to in Nashville. Excellent menu and the chef has really curated the tastes so that everything complements perfectly! Love it and I can't wait to go back! read more

My husband and I have lived in Nashville for nearly 15 years and finally had a date night at Park Cafe. Its been around for years and always busy. but after our dinner, we are confused as how?! Restaurant is pretty. Simple and bright. Our server was rude and sarcastic. We saw him openly get into an argument with another server in front of everyone. Service was incredibly slow. Food was definitely not worth the cost. pork chop was hard and chewy. Mac n Cheese was goop and so hot i think the macaroni melted as we couldnt find it. Shrimp pasta was not spicy as advertised and was drowning in flavorless sauce And boxed pasta. Shrimp was also chewy. I can see why people go for Happy Hour, because it's inexpensive and food is meh. read more

We frequent this restaurant during the week and love to sit at the bar. Great bartender and great, reliable meals! A neighborhood favorite for sure. read more

The most incredible food I've had recently. Service impeccable and the seared scallops are unbelievable!!!!! Their hostess, Christine, makes you feel welcomed and special. This is definitely a repeaters place...... almost weekly! read more

I've been here a few times when I come to visit my clients in Nashville. The restaurant is quite spacious inside plus they have a lovely outdoor area with a couple of fire pit tables. It can get quite loud if there's loads of people outside so I prefer to have the option of inside dining. There's a step right at the front of the restaurant which needs to be labeled appropriately as I've seen a few people, including my client, trip over it. The wait staff are friendly and warm and acknowledge you quickly and remember if you have dined there previously. The food is delicious - the pig and fig varies each time I've eaten it - sometimes way too much fig or not enough cheese but tasty still the same. I always opt for the chicken breast and this time it did not disappoint- the little corn cake was absolutely to die for, I could eat 10 of those. I shared the pig n fig pizza with my client and he ate the stuff mozzarella meatballs. Overall an enjoyable evening. read more

Park Cafe - Filet mignon - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I had dinner at Park Cafe prior to going to a show at the Ballet. Park Cafe did not disappoint. They have complimentary valet parking, which is convenient for the sylvan park area. We had a reservation during happy hour so we ordered off the happy hour menu. I had a rose which was delicious. We ordered the vegetable spring rolls, mussels, green Chile Mac and cheese, and goat cheese onion pizza which tasted like a French onion soup pizza...all of the food was delicious and amazing. We were so full but had to try dessert, we ordered the crème brûlée which did not disappoint. JJ was our waitress and she was amazing! 10/10 recommend and can't wait to go back! read more

One of my favorite resin Nashville. Great food and great service. my husband and I live the Sunday brunch

In a city full of food, Park Cafe is a perfect neighborhood gem I will always come back to. The ambiance is fancy but welcoming, the food is outstanding but reasonably priced, and the service is always amazing. The fig & pig pizza and the lamb chops are mouth-watering and perfect. I tried the creme brulee for the first time and loved it. As always, a great experience and great food. read more

We love Park Cafe . We go to Happy Hour there several times a month. However, last night we tried some new food items and we were extremely disappointed. The tuna tartare was flavorless and mushy. The tuna gad the texture of being previously frozen. I wont order that again. We also tried the chicken wings which were wet and under cooked. We only ate one and asked for a to go box. We will continue to visit Park Cafes Happy Hour as Jessica is a fabulous bartender!! We will obviously choose different food . read more

Food was good, but the hostess took a while to acknowledge me as she was on the phone but was looking right at me, a simple hand gesture would have satisfied me but oh well. The shrimp and grits were delicious, but the lamb chops were nothing to write home about. read more

We went here for dinner last night and had a very enjoyable experience. They had valet parking available but there's also a large free parking lot nearby. I'm glad we made reservations because even though we went before 6pm, there was already a line at that door. We were greeted fairly promptly and shown immediately to our table. The restaurant does have a fairly odd layout but it is very well decorated and pretty. The lighting stood out at excellent because it was a cozy, low light feeling but with plentiful light sources so it wasn't dim or dark. We had a cocktail and a scotch; the selection available for both was good. We decided to split a salad and then we ordered several small plates. Everything we tried was outstanding. The hardest part was narrowing down the choices, everything sounded wonderful. Our server JJ was friendly and did a great job. read more

We dined at Park café last evening last minute with some old friends and were blown away! Not only was the regular menu wonderful but the special menu for the evening was outstanding. JJ our waiter recommended wines- delicious and a good price point. After dinner the owner stopped by- delightful to chat- we will certainly return read more

A favorite for happy hour and beyond - every menu item prepared to perfection. Foodies and chefs alike know that it's easy to overcook delicate dishes. These mussels were outstanding - succulent and tender. And it was hard not to want to drink the broth from the bowl! Drinks are great too! Congratulations for consistory nailing your dishes and giving Nashville such an enjoyable neighborhood go-to place. And thank you for Jessica and all of your other wait staff. They are awesome!! read more

Park Cafe - Mussels PEI Mussels - New American Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Three visits to Park Cafe every time was as enjoyable as the last. The wait staff was exceptional in every respect including the valet. The only thing that beat out the high review of the wait staff was the food, all interesting dishes and prepared to perfection to be enjoyed in a comfortable atmosphere. A portion here or there we felt was a little small but we did ultimately leave satisfied overall. We'll definitely go back, to the dismay of the many other restaurants we're hoping to try. Bravo Park Cafe!...and Thank you. read more
