Customer Reviews
My sister and I went today for the first time and the food was amazing! We got the whipped feta appetizer and I got the truffalo chicken sandwich and my sister got the wedge salad. Everything was great! A gentleman who I think was the owner brought our food out and noticed we had no more bread but still had some whipped feta left and brought us a few more pieces which was such a nice touch and great service. We will definitely be back.
First visit here and I'll definitely be back! The food was amazing and the drinks were delicious. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and then shared a salad that had edamame and shaved carrots and shaved ginger in it. I highly recommend the whipped ricotta appetizer (not the one on the seasonal menu -its on the regular menu), I also recommend the shishito pepper app, the calamari and the chicken meatballs app. I got the Middle's version of a Pina Colada and the banana old fashioned sounded tempting as well.
Great food, great drinks, great staff. Calamari and mango martini always hit the spot. Literally perfect every time. My mother, who is usually the harshest critic of any resturant we go to, was thoroughly impressed. So happy to have somewhere she likes this much.
My family and I have been to The Middle a few times already and have been impressed each time- so many good choices for everyone - from the smash burger to the scallops to the salmon, everything is made with such care to flavor and presentation. The drinks, apps and desserts all follow suit! You won’t be disappointed!
Stopped in for dinner at The Middle, as we had been to the two restaurants previously here and were curious about the changes made. Definitely updated and nicely decorated for Christmas. When we walked in there was a little bit of an off putting odor, similar to bathroom cleaner, that we didn’t love, but once we were seated it went away. Our server, Devin, was attentive, and food arrived quickly to the table. We found the food to all be pretty average, especially for the prices. My mom had the French onion soup, which she thought was very salty, and she didn’t love the cheese they used. My dad had the prime ribeye, which was gristle-y and tough to chew. My husband had the Mac and cheese with truffalo chicken, and the breading of the chicken slid right off and was slimey. He did like the Ma
