More than beer and tea.

Yes, there are 16 beers and cider on tap, and about 32 hand-crafted teas, but you'll find that Midtown has a lot more to offer. Start with over 20 wines by the glass from a well-chosen list. Reasonably-priced bottles, too. It's a bonus that the bartenders are easy on the eyes and shake up killer Mojitos with fresh mint and elegant French Martinis with fresh thyme. Don't feel like sitting at the bar? Take a seat at a table on the porch, and the bartender will take your order there and bring drinks out. Those who choose to refrain from alcohol can opt instead for Italian Soda (24+ flavors). Try Strawberry and Fresh Basil during summer months: sounds odd, but proves to be amazingly delicious and refreshing. The menu includes appetizers, salads, soups, sandwiches, quesadillas, tacos, full dinner entrees and house-made desserts. First-rate espresso and cappucino, port and craft bourbons take dessert over-the-top. Overall, Midtown is a comfortable, attractive, clean and friendly spot for lunch or dinner.
