Read More On Citysearch WAYNE HARTMAN 11/2/2009 - Great date spotMy wife and I enjoyed a great date night in historic Germantown. Germantown Cafe was a great place to start the night before taking a quick drive downtown. The food first and foremost was the highlight. I got the Mahi Special with an excellent balsamic glaze and my wife (a vegetarian) got the Green Plate. Both plates had reasonable portions, were presented well and tasted great. The rolls we...

Read More On Citysearch by WCFY at Menuism 7/13/2009 - Hidden GemWe celebrated our first wedding anniversary at Germantown cafe...we had a bright window seat. The service was attentive, the bread melted in our mouths. My husbands lamb was to die for. my food was good but nothing to rave about. We decided to skip desert and go somewhere else. We will definately return.
Read More On Citysearch mrsqspn 4/15/2009 - One of my favorite places in town!Germantown Cafe is one of my favorite places in Nashville. Their Sunday brunch is such a special treat. The meal starts with their amazing bread that is dusted in cinnamon and sugar. Their fritatas are amazing, their french toast melts in your mouth, and the shrimp grits are insult-your-momma good! I love their pepper-jack grits that come on the side of most dishes for brunch. The last time ...

My husband had a steak he said was only so,so! The servings are generous and they have a variety of prices. Nice view of the down town skyline.

We had a great view of the city with all of the open windows. Adam was our waiter and he was fabulous, very attentive and polite. We started out with the fried green tomatoes and the baked brie. Both were delicious. Then we had our salads and bread. I got the plum pork, which was cooked perfectly on the g...
Read More On Citysearch hdhicks 6/17/2008 - Consistently WonderfulI have been dining here for the past five years and have never had a bad experience. The braised lamb shank is one of the best dishes in town. Period. The service is always on par and the prices are excellent. We are lucky to have such a humble and accomodating restaurant in Nashville. I think some of the more pretentious restaurateurs in town should have dinner at GC and take notes.

The steak and eggs and Crab cake pouched eggs over english muffins are to die for. They always have prompt seating, fair prices and great food. You will also love the mini cinnamon rolls they serve with your breakfast!
Read More On Citysearch Know what I like 4/15/2008 - Great lunch spotI went here for lunch. The food was great and the prices were very reasonable. I had the stuffed bread and my boyfriend had the pasta with lamb meatballs, both were delicious. We did however order an apple pie for dessert and it was sickeningly sweet so we had to send it back. Other than that the restaurant is really cute, with a great view of the city. I definitely recommend it for lunch and wan...

Read More On Citysearch counterpart444 11/1/2007 - GERMANTOWN CAFE ROCKS!Don't let the bad reviews fool you Nashville diners! Germantown Cafe is one of the best there is. I have been dining there for years and I stop in for dinner, lunch or brunch at least once a month. I have never seen a restaurant more consistent with their service, food, and cocktails. For the folks that think there's not enough flavor, have you tried the Chef's New Orleans Shrimp dish? It is ...
Read More On Citysearch sureis12 10/19/2007 - never againIt took the waiter about 30 minutes to get us our drinks. The salad was drenched and looked pitiful, as if it had fallen off a cliff, the lamb tasted like old goat, not lamb, the chicken prosciutto tasted mildly of fish ... in short one of the worst, .... no THE worst dining experiences I have had in Nashville in 4 years! I will never go there again!

My wife and I had dinner this past Saturday at Germantown Cafe. The Cafe has a really intesting menu - a little bit of everything (that sounded good) plus some good southern appetizers (the fried green tomatoes were outstanding!). The atmosphere was "romantic" as advertized, the service was superb. Free valet parking was nice. Decent wine list and fair prices. Total tab for 2 was about $100 inclu...

Read More On Citysearch by kateoneill at Menuism 8/16/2007 - Quaint, Romantic RestaurantAlthough I dined here recently for for a business dinner, I plan on taking my husband back for a romantic dinner. The setting is cozy and intimate & the food is scrumptious. The menu items are intriguing without being boring or too adventurous. The service was fantastic (and I was there on a busy night). All of us at the table shared several dessert items, all of which were outstanding.

We had heard many good things about the Germantown Cafe and have been excited to try it out. We had brunch there last Sunday and everything was wonderful - we were seated right away, service was excellent and the food was reasonably priced and very very good (she had the shrimp & grits and I had the steak benedi...
Read More On Citysearch seahawksfan 7/16/2007 - A spectacular experienceGermantown Cafe was an all-around wonderful experience! Perfect for a first date, romantic enough for a fiftieth. The food was incredible (I would recommend the coconut curry salmon) and the view even better. I am not a Nashville native but this restaurant will bring me back a hundred times over! Bravo!

Read More On Citysearch sg070779 4/17/2007 - Great Food and ServiceI picked this restaurant for a special occasion b/c of the great reviews I have read. I made a reservation and specifically asked for a window seat. When they called the day before to confirm my reservation, I once again, asked for a window seat and I was told it was written as my request. My husband and I were both pleasantly surprised to see that they offered complimentary valet parking sinc...
Read More On Citysearch sharon369 2/26/2007 - Even Better NowA local favorite, and with the recent renovations, the ambience is much improved (reduction in noise level with the expanded space). We have never been disappointed with the service and nearly everything we have tried has been more than tasty. Brunch is good but the dinner selections still prove to be the preferred offering from my perspective. The Plum Pork is absolutely divine!
Read More On Citysearch paradoxzap 1/13/2007 - Best Sunday brunch in NashvilleI have been a Germantown regular for several years now and it never fails to impress me. The service is top-notch, the atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing, and the food is absolutely delicious. You can't beat Germantown for Sunday brunch. The french toast (which changes weekly) is always delicious as is the omelet. You don't want to miss the little fried cinnamon-sugar biscuits either....scrum...

I ordered the Crab Cake Benedict and it was fantastic. The others ordered specials of the day and everyone loved their food. We also go an order of French Onion soup and it was superb.

Read More On Citysearch swimgirl555 12/18/2006 - Best Brunch in NashvilleMy boyfriend and I ate there recently for brunch and it was wonderful. We both ordered the crabcake Benedict it was cooked to perfection. Their french onion soup is the best in the world, and their bread is like little doughnuts sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Great value, excellent food, and good atmosphere. highly recommend.
Read More On Citysearch jnatale 10/15/2006 - Great change of paceFor those who regularly attend casual sit-down eateries, Germantown Cafe offers upgrades in each area of the fine dining experience. From the location to parking to the furniture and decor, it distinquishes itself. The preparation and presentation of the food was done very well. The caesar salad is one of the best I've eaten and I highly recommend the plum pork.(Sorry non-pork eater, just more po...

As I have watched them get more successful, I have (with my usual pessimism) been waiting for the day when I would feel like one of the masses or a number. That has never happened. I am always recognized at the door by The guy at the door. Even though I can't remember his name he always remembers mine. The rest of staff t...
Read More On Citysearch zdmd 8/9/2006 - Loved the viewWhere to begin? The evening was fantastic. I asked for a table with a view and at sunset it doesn't get much better. From the complimentary valet, that had my car ready when I walked out the door, to the knowledgable staff, inviting atmosphere and distinct dishes everything was impecable. Timing on the meal was great, presentation on the food was supurb and make sure you save room for desert!

Read More On Citysearch kycooky 3/6/2006 - Great!Ate here last night with three girlfriends. Had the steak special - it was divine! One of the best steaks I've ever had! The appetizer special (shrimp struedel) was also delicious, as was the apple walnut dessert. My friend had the green plate and the mushrooms were great. Cool restaurant, neat view, good service. I'll definately return!
Read More On Citysearch sinitiative 2/8/2006 - I can't wait to go backThe lamb was sweet and tender, the pork with plum sauce was sensational. I'd add some sherry to the French onion soup, but it was a wonderful meal. Save room for the chocolate mouse cake. It is denser than lead on a cold day with chocolaty goodness.
Read More On Citysearch prophet_5 12/19/2005 - Highly satisfiedMy first time at Germantown cafe was outstanding. I had the rack of lamb and it was the best I have ever had. The butternut squash and asparagus that came with it was perfect. The appetizers were also exelent. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. I also thought the prices were okay especially for how good the food was. The veiw of the Nashville skyline was beautiful.

Read More On Citysearch tanda4u 11/22/2005 - You're missing out!If you haven't tried the fried green tomatoes or french onion soup, you are totally missing out! I don't like tomatoes and I'm not a huge fan of french onion soup, but I LOVE them at this restaurant. The brie is also amazing. The service is top notch and the ambience couldn't be better.

Read More On Citysearch obnur75 7/8/2005 - Perfectly upscale casual!My boyfriend and I eat at Germantown regulary and are never disappointed. They have a great wine list and the menu has just enough choices to please any diner, yet not so many that you don't know what to pick. The Southwestern shrimp and the fried green tomatoes are our favorite appetizers and the house salad with the blue cheese vinagarette is quite pleasing. The crab cakes are the best I've ...

I was in love with the Salmon entree . . . I don't think I've had a curry sauce that good even in an Indian restaurant. The apple desert is amazing . . . we had to get it each time!

The view was fantastic, the service was attentive but not overbearing, and the food was delightful-- and a great value.

Read More On Citysearch townsete 2/22/2005 - Brunch Done WellGermantown Cafe made our list for brunch this weekend and it will probably become a regular. Just like the decor - the menu selections were simple, straight forward, and very pleasing. The shrimp and grits was the table favorite and the french toast was very good. All in all the meal reminded us of brunch comforts with a modern feel.
Read More On Citysearch tbclark 1/31/2005 - Consistently goodI try to eat here whenever I am in town on business. The place is very big city, but the staff lacks the attitude that usually accompanies places like this. The food is always good, as is the service. I think that they have done something to combat their noise problem, too. I look forward to making it in for brunch sometime; meanwhile, the salmon at dinner will keep me coming back.
Read More On Citysearch dinerinatlanta 1/24/2005 - Good, but not GreatI had a good, but not great experience. It was good enough, that I may give them another try. The service and management were very friendly and attentative. The food had hints of being great, but lacked in some areas. The Caesar salad lacked depth and balance in the dressing. Again, it was good, but not great. The Tasso gravy and asparagus were the best part of the Chicken Tasso. The sauce had ju...

The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to assist us. With all of the rave reviews we'd heard about Germantown Cafe, it was kind of a let down. The food quality was disappointing. The appetizers, squash fritters, escargot and crab cakes, were fine. The entrees, however, lacked. The steak, ordered medium, was c...

The food is quite delicious and straightforward and an almost impossibly good value - I don't think I saw a single entrée over 19 bucks. The room is beautiful, with a great view of downtown.

Read More On Citysearch sassybritches 2/23/2004 - Simple EleganceI have dined here a few times now, and have not been dissappointed. The lamb and strip are fantastic, especially for $19.00. I have to say I agree about the house salad, but I don't think you can expect much more for a free starter salad. Who else gives you that nowadays? Apple pie and chocolate bread pudding are my picks for dessert. Also, a very interesting wine list, grouped by price. I ...
