    TN Hereford Beef Burger
    Quentin T.

    Really enjoyed my FIRST ever visit to Park Cafe to take advantage of midweek happy hour. I've been meaning to come here for years but I don't usually come to the busy area unless it's for dinner at the nearby Cafe Nonna. There was an event happening on the patio so the place was very busy for a Wednesday at 5:30. However, we were able to get one for the half booth/tables at the front where it was a little quieter. The happy hour drink specials are really a great deal & the food offerings pretty solid as well. I went with the Hereford beef burger for my main & we shared some hummus & chorizo stuffed wrapped dates. The other members of my party got a pizza & the shrimp & grits. I should have got a photo of the shrimp & grits because it was huge & the presentation was impressive. $4 happy hour yazoo draft was hard to beat. Service was attentive & they let us linger for a lot longer than we should have even though it was busy. Overall I think it's a great place to hang & have conversations with good food & service.

    Jasmine is a spectacular server. The food at Park Cafe is always great, but when the server knows her stuff, engages with guests and makes everyone feel welcome , it makes an evening very special.

    Happy hour cocktails, so delish and with kick!

    Park Café absolutely has the best happy hour in West Nashville! Their M-Sat 3-6pm happy hour is such a gem. Convenient free valet parking (you can even call your car right from your phone!) makes the whole experience easy from the moment you pull up. Inside, it's cozy, warm, and welcoming. Plenty of seating at the bar and bar area, and everyone I interacted with was genuinely kind. The happy hour menu is extensive: beer, wine, cocktails plus a great food selection with lots of vegetarian options. I tried the Sunset Margarita with pomegranate juice. Delicious with a real kick! For food, I enjoyed the hummus with vegetables topped with a fantastic pesto, and the Margherita pizza, which had a very thin crust and wonderful flavor. My friend ordered the pepper jack grits and green chili mac and cheese, both incredibly comforting with good heat. From the regular menu, I also tried the pear cocktail, which was absolutely delightful and such an original flavor profile. Seating was comfortable and relaxed, and service was prompt and friendly. I enjoyed the experience so much that I decided to plan a small gathering there for next week. The manager immediately set everything up, and I'm confident we'll have a wonderful time.

    cannot recommend Park Restaurant in Nashville enough! From start to finish, my dining experience was absolutely exceptional. I started with the Cafe Salad, which was fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor--a perfect way to begin the meal. For my entrée, I chose the pork chop dinner, and it was cooked to absolute perfection--juicy, tender, and paired with sides that complemented it beautifully. To top it all off, I indulged in the s'mores bread pudding for dessert, and let me just say, it was a showstopper. The rich, gooey chocolate and marshmallow flavors paired with the warm bread pudding made for an unforgettable ending to an incredible meal. The atmosphere was inviting, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the attention to detail in every dish was evident. Whether you're a local or just visiting Nashville, Park Restaurant is a must-try. I'll definitely be back!

    Good neighborhood restaurant, on the edge of greatness, habituated by locals. The brunch is excellent. Both the Crab Cake Benedict, try it with Grits, and the Park Breakfast, which has lots of flavors, are excellent. Service at the bar was friendly and fast. There is a full bar, and a short but diverse wine list. The cafe style interior is loud.

    Nice experience. My group visited this place for lunch. Valet parking is complimentary and the staff were extremely kind. I got there early and they were very accommodating. For the price the portions were great! Would definitely recommend the food. The drinks... not so much. Our Bloody Marys had so much pepper in them it was sitting at the bottom of the glass. We were coughing. We showed the waitress and she kindly replaced them with mimosas. The vibe was really nice and quaint and the outdoor area was really cool. I would definitely go back for the food and customer service!

    Mimosas in the house!!

    This is definitely one of my favorite places! I've been here three times with the occasion and experience being unique each time but always great! This last time was by far the best. I am tempted not to share their big secret which is they are now open for Brunch on Saturday and Sunday! I LOVE finding Saturday brunch places because Sunday brunch is always too busy and it can make it not enjoyable. We sat near the window so we didn't have the cold of the outside but the warmth of the sun! There were people enjoying their meal outside including someone with a dog and a baby. The mimosa options were great tasting and a great value! The Creme Brulee French toast was amazing and the Benedict was prepared perfectly. 100% WILL be returning!

    Half chicken, green beans, sweet corn pudding
    Carey E.

    My mother in law and I stopped in on a quiet Wednesday afternoon for lunch. Service was great. Got the half chicken with green beans and sweet corn pudding - and split the parm fries with my MIL. Chicken was good, green beans were awesome with this Asian garlic sauce on them and the fries super crispy and flavorful. Sweet corn pudding ended up being a corn muffin - not sweet at all, pretty bland. Would go again and try some other meals.

    I had no idea the park cafe was as lively inside as I've passed it so many times. The food was excellent the only reason it's getting a 4/5 is because they were out of alot of stuff. Waitress was amazing, food was spectacular, and the patio area was beautiful with the fire pits. Will definitely be back!

    Park Cafe was 100% packed out but the front end staff allowed us to make a reservation about 2 hours in advanced. The hostess went above and beyond when seating us as she gave us an extensive overview of the menu, the history of the restaurant, and highlighted their best wines. When our meal was finished, she came back to genuinely check to see how our experience was and showed gratitude for us joining in their now customer family. I've never experienced sincerity like this at an Eatery. The food: I had the cheese tortellini which presented beautifully in a circular design with evenly spaced out decadents including tomatoes, artichokes, and other veggies. The sauces ratio was perfect as it enriched the flavor of the cheese in the pasta. My wife ate the Pig and Fig pizza which melted in your mouth with every bite. The cheese spread from top to bottom and emboldened the balsamic flavor. This dish is a must have, non negotiable. The Hashbrown casserole has a savory taste with a hint of sweet undertones as the flavor swirls in your mouth with an aftertaste that leaves you begging for more. The roasted Brussels were the biggest miss of the meal as they were dry and desperately needed sauce or cheese to lighten the taste of earthy greens. We tried both desserts: blondie brownie and the chocolate skillet. The brownie is a 10/10 banging dessert with melt in your mouth chocolate paired perfectly with vanilla ice cream. The skillet was a bit much and didn't do it for us. This place is a must visit and will be on our heavy rotation.

    Happy Hour drinks and fries
    Kendall R.

    My first experience with Park Cafe last year was excellent, but my experience a few weeks ago was subpar. I think it was a case of a waitress needing more training, so I'm still giving 4 stars. We sat outside on the back patio which was so lovely. We ordered off the happy hour menu (which is available on Fridays) and the drinks were strong and pretty good. Three of us ordered burgers and the waitress never asked how we liked them, so we each got varying degrees. My dad's was completely cooked and mine was mostly pink. We also subbed the fries because we got a plate of fries from the happy hour menu, but we were charged full price for the sides AND didn't get the fries. The waitress also didn't tell us about that, so we were surprised with the bill. Also, she forgot to put in a dish and when we confirmed it wouldn't be on the bill since we didn't receive it, she simply said 'oh yeah, I didn't put that in.' Obviously not a big deal, but I do feel it's customary to apologize when you make a mistake especially at a nicer restaurant. All around, I think this specific waitress probably just needs more training. I will say the hostess was such a gem!

    Pork chop

    Park Cafe is one of my fiancé's favorite restaurants. We went together for the second time last night before the Yelp Van Gogh event. We had the grilled filet mignon, the salmon and crème brûlée. The filet was a bit dry and a little more done than medium for me. The salmon was had a crispy crust but medium in the middle. That's perfectly cooked for me. The non-traditional crème brûlée with phyllo pastry was delicious and a must try. Complimentary valet parking is offered but my preference is parking on the street whenever possible.

    Shake Shack is always a solid go to when you want a good burger and fries. The burger was juicy,…read morethe bun was soft, and everything tasted fresh. The fries were hot and crispy and the shake was thick and really good. Service was quick and the place was clean, which I always notice. The only reason I'd give it four stars instead of five is the price. It's a little higher than most fast food spots, but the quality is definitely better. Overall it's a good stop when you want something quick that still tastes like real food. I'd come back.

Should have eaten upstairs. The wait for ordering was not long which is a plus. However I feel their ordering system could be a little more streamlined, there are a lot of clicks for each item. I am used to SS in Chicago and it's the same there too. I ordered nothing crazy, a cheeseburger with added pickles and some fries, and an Arnold Palmer (50/50 lemonade and tea). We waited at our table and eventually got the text our food was ready but it took over 10 minutes after that to come out. At one point they tried to bring us someone else's food and they seemed very confused about it when we said that wasn't my order. I confirmed before we left that we didn't make a mistake while ordering so it wasn't something we did. When the food did come out it had clearly been sitting for some time. The bun had not been fully cut in half and this was not even visible inside the wrapping. It was crumpled up in a cold soggy mess at the bottom of the wrapping and was inedible. I essentially ate a naked burger. The cheese had solidified and was not at all melted showing how long the food was sitting. The fries were thankfully not cold but lukewarm at best. And to top it off my drink was incorrect, it tasted and looked like strawberry lemonade. I ended up throwing much of the meal in the trash. The person delivering the food should have noticed this was not up to par and sent it back. The cleanliness was also not up to the standard I expect at SS but considering their location and time of day I would give them a pass. Would not recommend coming here after hours.

    Hattie Jane's Creamery is located inside assembly food hall 2nd level right in front of the stage…read more Staff are friendly and helpful. They offer many options and flavors. Ice cream and milkshake are popular. We had cotton candy ice cream with sprinkles. It is definitely very cotton candy taste. I'm not that into sweet, but it's pretty good. Creamy and soft. Good portion for the money. Service is quick even with a line. Tables and seats in food hall but most people prob do take out and walk around the neighborhood.

    This is one of the most popular shops in AFH. It was even suggested by one of the tour guides…read moreduring our visit to Studio B. It's a small store mostly for take out. They have several different flavors of ice cream, parfaits and milkshakes. For ice cream they had 16 flavors, 3 kinds of parfaits, couple of milkshakes including one booze add-on, and over 20 types of toppings. For ice cream, they also had several types of cones like waffle, vegan, gluten free and salted caramel. We went to the store during peak lunch hours. We waited about 10 minutes in the line for our turn. We got the single scoop of vanilla flavor with sprinkles. The ice cream had amazing flavor, so dense and creamy. As advertised, it was actually handmade ice cream. The price was decent for the size of the cup, about $6. The servers were very friendly, they were generous with the quantity of toppings. They were working super hard to serve customers as fast as possible to keep the long line moving. Highly recommended spot among all the shops in the food hall.
