    Small, intimate restaurant with excellent service and an outstanding menu. It had been years since I frequented Midtown Cafe as a lunch customer while working in downtown Nashville. The evening meal is on a whole different level. We’ll be back!

    First I must say, it’s Christmas time so the expectations are a little lower due to the high volume of people. The restaurant was packed full and definitely bustling. Despite these conditions I must say Urban Grub was flawless. The manager checked in with us shortly after we were seated. Nice personal touch. Next our waiter named Daryl and his assistant greeted our table and immediately started tending to us…. Water poured, drink orders next and sent to the bar, then compete explanations of the menu…. With promises we WILL love our experience!!!! Daryl did not disappoint!!! He was definitely right. From the moment the fresh biscuits and popovers were delivered to the last dish being carried away, our experience was flawless and delicious. Did I mention we were a part of eight? Yes. A full restaurant and a completely satisfied party of eight. Need I say more? The food was absolutely delicious and amazing. Definitely different from the cookie cutter steak and seafood places. I highly recommend it!!!!
