Fantastic place for a dinner with family or a dinner for two. Fabulous food. Great atmosphere. Exceptional service.

Amelia Gene's is so much more than just getting food to eat, it is a full experience. We had the best time and plan to go back in the future. The food was fantastic, the restaurant was beautiful, and the employees were so knowledgable and provided the best service. We have not stopped talking about our experience here and probably never will!

Enjoyed the chef's tasting with wine parings. Favorite tempura shrimp, least favorite lobster (very small sample z) Mediocre fried rice z. Service impeccable. Will return to eat off regular menu. Quality and detail Amazing!
Heather
This was a spectacular experience and the wait staff made it extra special. My out of town guests said it had to be in the top 10 of dining experiences they have had. What a way to finish out the year
Jason
Probably the best place for a romantic dinner in Memphis. The food is amazing. My wife and I shared 2 apps (tartare and arancini), 2 pastas (rigitoni and lamp pasta) and 1 main (short ribs). Everything was amazing. Our dessert, a caramel apple cheesecake, was also great. Our waiter, Mr. Miso, paired the cheesecake with the perfect rye that resulted in a great end to the evening. The final bill was about $200...which, these days, is a bargain for the food and experience we had.

My wife and I took our son to celebrate his graduation from the University of Memphis. Amelia Gene's is his favorite restaurant and he has been a few times to celebrate other special occasions. This was the first visit for my wife and I but it will not be the last. Kelsie Nicholson was our server, who my son commented was “his favorite” based on past experiences. Kelsie was knowledgeable about all aspects of the menu and paid attention to our allergy restrictions. She was also helpful in navigating the tasty options for all five courses of our meal with thoughtful suggestions and great advice. The vibe of the restaurant was special and timeless but not dated. The mood was lively with a nice selection of low volume but energetic music played on the speaker system. The biscuits were excellent, my son's Blackberry Oysters were perfect, the cheese cart was an adventure and the desserts were incredible! Roasted Duck, Short Rib and Filet were our entrees and we also had a Raviolo and Lumache for our pasta course. Five stars all the way around for this fantastic experience! Inhale Peace, Exhale Love Hu!

The new PREMIER restaurant in Memphis. It has leapfrogged over previous leaders. Innovative cuisine with deep flavors, high quality choices and exciting presentation. Wonderful service. Exceeds expectations!

Once again, AG's knocked it outbid the park. The service was impeccable from the time we walked in until the valet closed the car door on the way out. Fantastic food, which was coursed out perfectly making sure that all of the courses were well balanced. Fantastic! We ordered the ribeye and took most of it home. New revelation - leftover steak with one of those incredible popovers, eaten like a taco is out of this world. They made date night a huge success and our lunch today was a reminder of just how great AG's is. Thanks again!

Very friendly staff. They dress in suit and tie which is elevated. Cocktails were very well balanced. Started with house made biscuits. They are very large and baked well. Honey butter and apple butter preserves delicious. Steak tartare was good, however too many onions. The octopus is the star of the night. Fresh and cooked perfectly. Entrees were short rib, which was stringy and dry, not much flavor. We noted this to our waitress. She apologized and was indifferent. No offer to try again or another item. Other entre was the ravioli filled with ground beef and short rib. The sauce was delicious, could have been a little bit hotter. Ravioli came with chives all over it. Scraped them off. Menu did not say it came with chives. Which made me realize the waitress did not ask if we had any food allergies. Would suggest they do. Asked for a latte and cappuccino, was informed they could only offer expresso shots. They did not have capabilities to make these coffee drinks. A restaurant of this caliber, charging premium pricing, they should invest in a machine to create these coffee drinks. Overall, it was a very good meal. Had the short rib been better and coffee drinks served, the rating would have been outstanding. We will give AG another try.

Absolutely great service by Jason! We had the clam chowder, filet mignon, short rib, a pasta with pesto and the carrot cake for dessert. The pasta was our least favorite but everything else was absolutely delicious , even our left overs the next day were as yummy as they were in the restaurant. This restaurant is a must try ! I was celebrating my first birthday away from home and they truly make you feel special, absolutely recommend for special events.
Our server Jack was the absolute best! Knowledgable, friendly, attentive and absolutely made our experience great. The food was also phenom - biscuits, pastas, wine, all delish!

Amelia Gene never fails to impress. From the food (exceptional) to the service (outstanding and thoughtful), this is THE place for fine and imaginative dining. Whether it's a special occasion or not, it always feels that way at AG. Not to be missed.
