    All the servers and bartenders and managers were fantastic. The restaurant and entire street corner experienced a bit of electricity issues and there were no hiccups at all. A great Christmas Eve dinner! Thank you for being open!

    The food and ambiance was AMAZING! The service was the slowest I’ve ever experienced anywhere. Our waitress was so sweet, but it seemed they were grossly understaffed.

    We were so surprised how good the food was! We walked into the hotel and were taken aback by how modern and classy it was! The host was magnificent and accommodating. We were seated and immediately taken care of by Kevin. Every course was amazing! I do not like beets but I devoured their beet salad. There were four of us and no one complained about anything! It was the best Thanksgiving it could have been. We would definitely recommend the hotel and Complicated Pilgrim to anyone and everyone! Stellar professionalism as soon as we walked in the door.

    I’ve been meaning to try this restaurant for awhile since I’ve been to The Memphian several times for Tiger and Peacock. The atmosphere is very nice, service was outstanding and the food was great.

    Food was pretty great, but service was sooo slow. We were there for over 30 minutes before receiving our cocktails that were ordered when we were first sat. The drinks came out with our before dinner salads. Not sure if they were understaffed or what, but everything seemed to take forever. It really clouded the overall experience unfortunately.
