The place had a pleasant atmosphere, but it felt a little off that, on Valentine’s Day, the TVs were showing a golf tournament instead of something more fitting for the occasion. As for the food, the presentation was appealing, but the flavors didn’t quite come together—there was no real harmony between the ingredients neither had salt/pepper or other spices. The drinks were also a disappointment, tasting overly diluted and lacking balance.

Just went to Park Café on a jaunt through town — while the food in phenomenal and the setting is very chic indeed (I was solo on a trip so ate at the bar) it was the above-and-beyond bar service that really sealed the deal. I will be recommending this place to anyone visiting Nashville especially Belle Meade/Vanderbilt U areas. Christian at the bar was attentive, helpful, personable and accommodating, figuring out how to craft a meal for a girl on the go at the end of a brunch sesh that wasn’t hectic but was insistent! He cared for me among a pack of (fun!) regulars with aplomb. The Grüner Veltliner (white wine) glass I had was one of the most memorable I’ve ever tasted, with impeccable sourdough bread accompanying a hearty shakushuka. Don’t miss their salad dressing – the in house vinaigrettes are both exceptional!

Its a cool little spot in Sylvan park and if you’ve been to Sylvan you know that neighborhood and it’s residents are very unique. Unfortunately I didnt have the best experience on a Sunday. Seated right away but 7 minutes to be greated. Ordered right away and asked for shakshuka to go with sourdough bread. Got my food was a salmon salad the brunch version. The salmon was small but cooked near perfectly the dressing was good as well. Then I watched my to go order sit for about 20 minutes and asked for a check 3 times. 25 minutes total to get a check dropped off at this point im kinda over it. The service wasn’t good at all. Bartenders watched as the servers struggled to give me decent service and no one helped. Dish sat on my table finished for 20 minutes at least. Just not a great experience unfortunately. Maybe because i was by myself and there were bigger parties i dont know but it didnt feel like they cared to make me experience a good one.

This is another great place to dine out in Nashville! It was recommended by locals and turned out to be excellent. I had the Shrimp and Grits with a special request for no spice, and the Chef made it perfectly. My dinner partners ordered the Goat Cheese Pizza and the Park Cafe Salmon, and we started with a Hummus appetizer. For dessert, we enjoyed the Dark Chocolate Mousse Tart and the Creme Brulee Napoleon. Everything was absolutely delicious. They also offer many options for those who need a gluten free menu. This is definitely another Nashville spot on my A list!

I had dinner at Park Cafe with my family and we had a great experience. The food was very good. The drinks were solid. The service was great. Special props to our server who was pulling double duty as a bar tender and waitress. I have no idea how she got it done but she did. We started off with the cheese dip. I ordered the bbq pork chop which was perfectly cooked. Juicy and delicious. My wife ordered the pasta, my daughter a pizza, and my father in law the crab cake with a side of mac. Everyone was happy with their meal.

Everything about this evening was literally perfect from the time we arrived, till the time we left. Every staff member was extremely friendly and courteous. We showed up a little early for our reservation, but they seated us right away and we got a nice romantic secluded table by a window right up front so we could see outside. The atmosphere was very quiet and romantic. Most of all the FOOD!!! The food was pure perfection from the first bite to the last. From the Wagyu Meatballs and Butternut Squash Bisque we had for appetizers to the entrees. I had the Filet Mignon and it was probably one of the best tasting and most perfectly cooked steak I’ve ever had. Every bite melted in my mouth. The potato fingerlings, sautéed asparagus and onion rings were a perfect compliment to the steak. My wife had the 3-cheese Tortellini and she ate every single bite (except for the few I stole from her.) Then came time for the dessert and we had the Dark Chocolate Mousse Tart along with a Cappuccino Martini. The highlight of the evening is when one of the managers, Amanda, stopped by our table and we had a lovely chat. She had such an amazing personality and you could tell she loves going above and beyond to make her guests feel like part of the family when they dine with Park Cafe. This was our anniversary dinner and as such, we received a couple of glasses of complimentary Prosseco, courtesy of Amanda. Such a nice gesture on her part and a wonderful way to end the evening. I can’t recommend Park Cafe enough for the food, atmosphere and wonderful staff. We will definitely be making this a regular stop for our date nights.

Atmosphere: Phenomenal, really sets the mood for a great experience.
Service: Overall, good, but I did feel a bit rushed by the waiter to finish and leave, which impacted the overall vibe.
Cocktails: Unfortunately, the drinks from the menu had an artificial taste and smell, which was disappointing.
Food: The portions were surprisingly small for the price, and the dishes didn’t quite feel complete. While the ingredients were fresh and of high quality, there was a lack of harmony and depth in the flavors.
