I'm still thinking about those fried green tomatoes -- perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. The salmon was cooked to perfection: crispy on the outside and beautifully medium rare on the inside (exactly how it should be done). The arugula, pecan, and apple salad was lightly dressed and super fresh, which balanced everything out so well. And the real standout? The shrimp and grits. Hands down the best I've ever had. Those pepper jack cheese grits took it to another level -- rich, creamy, and just the right amount of kick. Can't wait to come back! We reheated our leftovers in the air fryer. Chefs kiss! read more

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. read more

Great ambiance and Jared our server was the best! We enjoyed the eggs, Benedict and the salmon salad. Everything was cooked perfectly. We look forward to coming back there soon. Their menu for brunch is incredible, and will try lunch and also dinner. You can't go wrong with this place. Great drinks too and easy to find. They even have valet service, which is free. Thank you, Jared for taking care of us. We will try the garden area next time. Happy eating! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

While parking can be challenging, the experience and food is worthwhile! Enjoy their fish sandwich!

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. read more

Lovely atmosphere and menu! Service was excellent and we were thrilled to have an intimate setting for a party of 6!

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

This a great place for a date night or celebratory meal! The restaurant was super cute and quaint and it felt very homey. We were impressed with all the food - especially the filet mignon and salmon! The service was pretty slow but that was the only con. We would finish our appetizers before our soups/salads were ordered and then same for the entrees. So took probably 2.5 hours for the whole meal. read more

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! read more

Park cafe has been out local go to for over 9 years. Even rented out back patio for an event. Recent turnover in ownership has brought about change. Love that they have brunch on Saturday and Sunday and staff is great. We love happy hour and especially Their mussells!...... but alas we visited tonight and were disappointed. No mussells on the menu as well as some other favorites are no longer on the menus The friend pickles ( always a Stable) were soggy the fried callarami ($16) was awful... most fried breading. .... We barely ate either. Pizza was good as well as hummus platter.... A salad ( which they spit for us) and apple crisp ended on a good note.... Bit disappointing that menus has been tweaked ... not in a good way. Please take note park Cafe read more

Quiet setting, professional and friendly staff, free valet parking (which is helpful). Ate lunch here with a friend. The staff was more than happy to divide our choices between us. We had soup and sandwich. Everything was tasty and fresh. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Went on 12/7/24. Ambience is beautiful and romantic, Food was scrumptiously delicious. All staff were so nice.. Can't wait to go back.

My husband and I were in Nashville for a month and a random person we met suggested Park Cafe, and I'm so glad he did. I feel that Park Cafe is a hidden gem in Nashville. Regretably - we did not sit outside in the patio. I had not seen any pictures of the patio so was thinking it was not going to be "great." I was so wrong. As we were leaving the restaurant, I saw the extensive patio. It's beautiful - you should make a point to eat there! I started with a glass of the Pinot Noir - but did not care for it. A matter of preference - but I loved my glass of Sauvy Blanc. My husband got one of the specialty drinks - something with bananas - and he said it was nicely strong. For starters - we got the Mozzarella Stuffed Beef Tenderloin Meatballs - and I would highly recommend these. They were two large meatballs and were outstanding. Very moist and a great flavor of meat. For entrees - my husband got the Park Café Salmon - which he loved with the asian influence. He thought those additional flavors made the dish. I got the Shrimp + Grits and ate every last bite. It was delicious and I would highly recommend it. There were so many options for entrees / apps here that we would have loved to have tried more. Unfortunately, we did not try this restaurant until the end of our trip - otherwise, I would have gone again. We loved the place. Great service - outstanding food! read more

Came in today to celebrate my nephew's graduation. My sister ordered the drink special that was bottomless. We got one drink each after asking the waiter numerous times. The Bloody Mary I had was so bad I couldn't drink it. I ordered the crab cake Benedict and although I ate it because I was starving it wasn't great. No flavor at all. My other sister ordered coffee and the waiter never bothered to come back to refill her cup. Also I'm pretty sure I left my credit card and I called and the woman that answered the phone said she would ask and call me back. After no response I just canceled the card. I won't be back. read more

I went in a couple weeks ago. Now they have a new owner the servers were not as friendly. They have taken several of my favorite items off the menu. I was used to going in and Yvette being there to treat me with a warm smile. No one had a smile on their face the last time I went. The food was not even as good on the night i went. So disappointed. My friend and I had been going in at least every 6 weeks. Not sure I will go back. Very sad!! read more

I took my wife here for our annual Christmas dinner date and we reserved one of the outdoor igloos. We had a good experience, but not a great one. I wrote a review about that and immediately, one of the managers, Amanda, reached out to me and apologized and invited us to give them another try. We went there for our anniversary dinner date a month ago and everything from the time we walked in the door, till the time we left was truly magical. The food was incredible. Service was great. The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming and we even got a chance to sit and chat with Amanda for a few minutes, which was the highlight of our evening. They treated it us with a special drink to toast our anniversary while we enjoyed out dessert. I can't recommend this place highly enough. They truly go above and beyond to make their customers feel like family. Like guests! We can't wait to go back here again for our next special occasion or when we're just looking for an outstanding date night dinner. Wonderful! read more

Park Cafe! What is going on? Terrible service, server was friendly but took forever to respond to anything Food was the worst ever. Chicken Milanese so charred barely edible. Shrimp and grits arrived cold and extremely salty-waited forever to get it heated up but still extremely salty. We will not be back and feel embarrassed as we suggested Park Cafe to someone from out of town. read more

Why am I just now finding this place after living in the nations for 4 years?! Cancel your plans and head to park cafe. I was able to make a last minute reservation on a Friday night which can mean it's not great or a hidden gem. Very much so the latter! The service was top notch and the food was outstanding. The perfect spot for a date night, parent/ in-laws in town, girls night- anything really! We started with the pig and fig pizza and meatballs. Both were so incredibly flavorful and the perfect starters. For a main I got the chicken skewers- which were good, not a stand out but I didn't expect much, it was a panic order ha. My husband got the filet with white cheddar hashbrown casserole and green beans. INSANELY tasty. My GF got the salmon and it was phenomenal. We got mac and cheese for the table and left absolutely stuffed. I'm dying to go back!! read more

Went on a Monday night around 6 pm for dinner and to see our favorite bartender JJ! I was able to immediately find seats at the bar. We chose the eggplant Parmesan and fish tacos! The fish tacos had a nice crunch and spicy level to it! But the eggplant Parmesan was the winner! I grow up having eggplant Parmesan, but it was nothing like this. This tasted so fresh and light somehow, yet flavorful. It was like an eggplant Parmesan lasagna, and I was into it! The bathroom was nice and clean. They do seem to have a happy hour of some sort from 4-6 pm every day. I didn't get a chance to ask what it was unfortunately. There is valet parking but also lots of free street parking. I would definitely recommend going and will for sure be coming back! read more

It was okay, parking sucked though. So i dont think it's worth it. It was a really hard time to find a place to park.

a customer of many years - last night, shrimp & grits; tortelleni; cafe salad with salmon; and Park Cafe Salmon. All prepared much differently than in the past - totally awesome new way of preparing. we gave all dishes a 10+ - also, if u need great attention with menu knowledge , ask for Guenevier as your server - she is 10++ 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

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.
