The filet au poivre was 10/10. Also the pretzels were bomb!!!! Amazing atmosphere, amazing drinks, amazing food

rum espresso
Kari A.

the service was great, and the vibe was very intimate, and comforting. i came here for the first time to watch paul vs tyson and the place really filled up and it was still a great experience. the drinks are good and it's a great place to go out on a date to. i didn't hear the best things about the food so i didn't order any so maybe get food from somewhere else

Charcuterie Platter
Kera W.

Truly enjoyed this place!! Nick was our server and he was amazing. Great cocktail menu, small plates, etc. My friend and I both got dirty martinis (Belvedere vodka) with blue cheese stuffed olives. So so good!! For dinner we got the charcuterie platter and the lamb chops (shareable), and they were both absolutely delicious. We closed it out with a glass of Cabernet which we both enjoyed. We went on a Friday night, so the later it gets the more crowded it gets. We left, but still had a great time. Nice ambience, great service, and a great bartender. I would highly recommend Barware for drinks and tapas at a chill place. Thank you Nick!!

Nonalcoholic drink with jalapeño

Ducked in after a Grizzlies game. It was already busy and then within an hour it was filled and buzzing. Our server was really great and despite having loads of patrons continued to come back and check on us. My companions enjoyed their drinks and I personally enjoyed that they had non alcoholic drinks.

I absolutely love the vibes an decor the food was great as always when I visited months ago but tonight Our waiter AM.B was absolutely rude. Very cut throat. Was very very rude. An made the group I came in with for a birthday party feel uncomfortable. I felt uncomfortable to even take pictures. I was offered shots from a guest at the bar an when I was telling him what I wanted the waiter walked up an said you could've just asked me for your drinks. Which we didn't order yet but we were OFFERED by someone else with a tab I will be back but I will make sure I don't sit at his section and just recommend a different place when I have a large group. It's best to come alone.

Charcuterie board

It's not my mission on here to give people bad reviews, I love seeing local businesses thrive but feel the need to be honest about customer service. When we walked in we weren't greeted and had no idea where to sit. We ended up sitting at the bar. We watched the bartender greet and serve 2 other couples next to us with a smile. She got to us, no hey how are ya, she just stared at us and said y'all want something. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she didn't think we looked old enough to be ordering or she was having a bad night but when in the customer service business you can't treat people sitting side by side differently. My husband and I were pretty shocked at the difference. We stayed, got some really great drinks and the board but we felt extremely uncomfortable and like unwanted business. She barely checked on us and we had to wait for her to make eye contact to get her attention. I have worked in customer service and hospitality for years and don't think you should be in the people business if you can't be kind or treat people equally We would go back for drinks and the board! The vibe is awesome and thought it was so nice inside. Customer service at the bar, not so much. We will come back to try it again and hopefully update this review

The cocktails are always delicious, and their food is great. I love the chill bar atmosphere, perfect for date night or drinks with friends.

Most expensive grilled cheese I'll ever pay for, plain American cheese for $12 before tax

I went after a grizz game, and it had good energy. The drinks were good and decently priced. Service was good.

First time here. Service is great. Has a nice ambience. The exposed brick adds to the decor. Limited menu, but I will definitely be back.

Cameo hands down is the best place to get drinks & don't count out their bar food…read more Me and my girls decided to do All Day Happy Hour which are on Monday and it didn't miss. The service was great and the drinks were even better. We tried the Mai Tai, porn star martini , frosted Jake to name a few. The star of the show for me was the Frosted Jake. It was very refreshing surprisedly. And a huge shoutout to our bartender - I believe her name was Max!!!! Keep her on board. She is everything and so nice. Don't miss this spot at all.

Another Friday outing with the girls took us to Cameo for happy hour…read more It was a little empty as we arrived right at 4p but it didnt stay that way for long as I can see why. The place is small but inviting. The music playing through the speakers was like they had my spotify synced. All of my favs were playing. (Shoutout to whoever was respnaible for Melanie Fiona album The Bridge being in rotation. That's one of my favs). We were all pretty hungry so we ordered The Cameo Cheesburger and fries. It's a really nice sized burger and definitely will help soak up the "liquor" lol. From 4-7pm you get half off selected classic cocktails. I started with a French 75 and it definitely did its job. There is a cocktail on the menu called Rage Quit ($10) which simply states secret and danger. Well we decided to all try that and let's just say the danger snuck up on us lol I also had a Cosmo which was delicious as well. By this time we are felling really good but need to use the bathroom. We then discover there is a photobooth in the back area. It was pretty comical trying to get all 3 of us in the frame. We chatted with the staff afterwards to let them know that the we had a great experience. If you're looking for a nice happy hour spot, I highly suggest Cameo.

Date night landed my husband and I trying Catherine & Mary's FINALLY. We had reservations on a…read moreFriday night around 6, and were able to find street parking (though they offer complimentary valet). The ambiance is a mixture of beautiful and charming, yet sophisticated. It was pretty full when we arrived and when we left which was a good sign for business. We started with the cornbread. It had good flavor overall, but be warned that it has a small bite to it. If you're spice sensitive like me, it won't be your favorite. I got the AGNOLOTTI del PLIN for dinner which was a smaller plate of pasta (totally fine as it is dense and meant to be eaten with other things). You could definitely tell the pasta was homemade. It was good, but wasn't my favorite. Very mild in flavor. I'd likely get something else next time that has more of a sauce. My husband got the short rib and it was very good and full of flavor. The celery root risotto is different and refreshing. The star of the show was dessert. It was some kind of sticky toffee pudding with gelato. Possibly one of the best desserts I've ever eaten. I'd love to go back and try something else and for the dessert alone.

We came here to eat after a musical at 4:30…read more The ambience is relaxing and hip. I felt very comfortable and like I was in a more upscale establishment. Our service was excellent! Our server was very nice. Having one picky eater that sent her dish back twice is annoying but our server handled it perfectly. The food was all delicious but small servings. I would not recommend the artichoke; it's good but barely enough for a tasting and expensive for what you receive. The grouper was cooked perfectly but again for $40 the serving was small. The cornbread was delicious and a better serving. I would have personally preferred a small cast iron skillet of cornbread for the price instead of I think 4 slices. The cannoli was good, the carrot cake excellent and the parmesan gelato tasteless but for us a must try because we had not tasted it before. The heat was also out so it was cold but not unbearable.

But, I wasn't paying and I'd been snowed in for a week so, yeah, the lady did not protest too much lol. Anyway - GFC is walk-in only. We got lucky and were seated right away. We got right to ordering. GFC Wings, The Rolls, Crawfish Dumplings, and a carafe of house Sake. Our server was soooo nice. Let me reframe that...just about everyone we encountered were very kind. Even the other customers. To be clear...we ended up ordering a 2nd order of wings. I finished the crawfish dumplings AND the rolls. I should have placed an order to go. I already know what I'm going to order on my next trip. I'm also trying to figure out how to get GFC to the house for the man's birthday since they don't do takeout.

Beautiful ambiance in this smallish establishment that serves creative Japanese pub food. Ramen…read morenoods are house made and served in small bowls. We had the coconut curry broth which was a lite curry style but the winner here was the super crunchy wings in a ginger garlic sauce. Also a fav was their dumplings - simply to die for. Their specialty drinks are very creative and delicious- not to be missed. I would go as far to say this is more of a busy drinking place with excellent small plates. Service is a little sluggish for this always full spot so come early and be prepared to wait, walk-in's only. No reservations. Owners are a cute married couple; the husband is Mexican and the wife is Japanese and the creative mind behind the menu. Authentic fare, truly delicious
