    My husband and I went for my birthday and had a great time! They made my birthday extra special with a card and a complimentary champagne toast. The food was delicious and service was above and beyond expectations!

    We had the Chef's tasting menu and all five courses were amazing. Also had the wine pairings which were very nice as well. All in all a great value for such a wonderful meal. Honestly the best meal I have had in Memphis in a very long time.

    One of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. Jack, our server, was knowledgeable and friendly and everything you could ever want in a restaurant. The food was so great that we’ve not stopped talking about it - and it’s already been a week since we’ve been there.

    We were seated promptly and our friendly and knowledgeable server soon came with complementary champagne to celebrate our birthday. The drinks and food we ordered were delivered in a timely manner-not too quick or too slow. I will say where we were seated was a tad too close to other diners for our liking. Not all seating in the restaurant was like that. Overall the atmosphere was beautiful and the food/service was outstanding!

    Celebrated a friend’s birthday dinner. Service and attention was similar to dining at a 5star. Biscuits and carrot cake are a must!
