Great specials that change often. Food is fantastic! Always end talking to other customers, very engaging, food has deep flavors that can only be made with time. If alone as to sit at the bar, you will enjoy! Would rate bartender as a 5 stars!

The bartender makes fantastic drinks. Best boulevardier in Memphis. The Bees Knees is great too (lavender honey syrup, ooph!) I had the corvina fish tacos which are not on the menu but are divine!

Spending $250 on dinner for 4 is not including a bottle of rose and 3 drinks should not be this bad.

It all started good until the food started, then it slid off the scale.
Stale bread with cheese plate appetizer, unforgiven.
Bringing everyone's dinner minutes apart, one at a time, especially mine took a good 5 minutes after while everyone politely stared at theirs getting cold.
Shouldn't happen, ever.
My rack of lamb was undercooked, a lot of fat which if it was grilled or pan seared properly would have been divine, sadly chewy and gross.
My friend had a veggie plate of spinach, mushrooms and collard greens.
Mushrooms were chewy and spinach had no taste (he didn't eat either).
The other 2 dinners were judge to be good by the ones at our table.
I gave service a 3 because we were left with a table full of dishes between appetizers and dinner until they realized it right before food was to come out.
There is no way we are the only persons that have had this experience.
Very sad because I hoped we had found a fun, eclectic atmosphere place to go to, definitely not for the distant future.

We went there on a Saturday night for a bfamily meal. First the service was horrible. We had to ask several times about drinks. We ordered our food and we waited almost 45 minutes. We kept asking if our food was coming and they said they were short handed but that was it. When it finally arrived all of our meals were wrong from soggy fries to no dressing on our salad. When we asked for our check we were asked what we had to eat. They didn’t even know. The place was almost empty when we left at 9:00. Sorry but this used to be one of my favorites. I will definitely not go there anymore.

I’ve loved eating here for more than 40 years. Tonight was a disaster. Could barely get waited on. Took forever to get our food. When we asked what was going on our waitress said they were short on staff. That was it. Nothing more. Our food was mediocre. And when it was ready to get our check, our server asked what we had to drink. I really hope this can be turned around. It’s always been such a wonderful neighborhood restaurant.

Delicious food! I had the fish of the day which was trout with risotto and it was YUMMY and GLUTEN-FREE! We didn't get the pomme frittes, but a table near us did and they smelled divine!

The food is really good. Back of the house is friendly. It is a nice place to dine. This should be a 5 star review. And I will take good food and bad service and still come back.

But my God. Service here is brutal. The last time I had to hunt down the server to pay our bill. She was in the far back sitting talking to the manager. Both of them disintrested in my desire to pay. The server never got up. The manager finally said here I will take that. Ran it ..handed me the receipt. Returned to conversing with the still sitting server.

I get people need breaks. But the restaurant was nearly empty. Anyways. We tried a few times in our quest to find a go to restaurant on our way home. Sadly, this was not it.

This is a cute place. The food is good and it's priced like a very fancy restaurant. Cute and cozy inside but also VERY LOUD, cramped. And I'm sorry but the wait staff when we have been is just not trained to the level they should be for this price point, especially given how LOUD it is in this restaurant. They mean to close EXACTLY on time meaning while they are still open and you are eating your meal they will SPRAY toxic surface cleaner over adjacent tables - it will waft into your face, over your food and dessert and ruin what might have been a nice meal. Some great attentive staff but not enough attention given to training all staff properly. It only takes one poorly trained barback/waitress to ruin what would have been a nice $300 meal.

Great food, great service, and then the table next to us left, and a server began vigorously spraying cleaner on the table, WHOOSH over us and our food. Ruined everything. It's ultimately a management problem: trained this way, or no manager notices. Horrible.

This is one of our go-to’s in midtown. Food is always good, no matter what you order. We typically order the ravioli and crab cake as an appetizer, which never fails to impress. I almost always get a burger, which is hard to describe, it’s what you want out of a restaurant burger, but substantial like a home cooked burger. My wife swears by the onion soup. Everyone is friendly, our waitress Sarah is really good people. Look forward to coming here every time and have never been disappointed.

Also, great date night. Grab a burger and watch old movies at the bar. Coolest spot.

Oh and get the fries, they are what a McDonald’s fry should taste like.

Overall, this is a very good restaurant and the service is really personable and great. I enjoy coming here with friends on a Friday evening after work to unwind and have a couple cocktails with a meal. My only complaint is that you still have to make reservations by the phone, and you can't make them online like other restaurants.
