This place is literally fire. Great food and atmosphere, the perfect way to break up a drive on I-40. The bartenders make a heck of a good cocktail, and the kitchen got our food out fast, fresh, and delicious. Great steaks, great pasta, everything we had was excellent. Next time I'm passing through, I'll definitely be stopping by again. read more

Looked at their reservation times tonight on their website well before they cutoff, no problem with reservations. I didn't make one because of that. My wife and I showed up dressed nicely, I had dress shorts, nice button shirt and Olakai flip flops. Host asked if we had reservations and I responded with when I checked we didn't really needed any. He went and spoke to someone and then came back and said they would try to work us in. That went for about two minutes and then he said we could not be seated. So I don't know if it was because I was in dress shorts and nice short or had tattoos. First time I've felt to be discriminated because of my tattoos. Will never visit again and will not recommend. Horrible service, the host was barely understandable and my wife even asked me if she heard what she thought she heard. Horrible experience. I'm not a low life but felt like treated as one. If you have a strict dress code, post it online and I'll follow. It's Jackson, Tn! No need to get extremely formal! read more

Wonderful service, phenomenal food! We had the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and added crab, our entrees were steak frites and king salmon - both were delicious. We also ordered dessert, the special of the week which was goat cheese and candied pecan macarons. We will be back! It's a great place for a special celebration, or date night. While yes it is pricey, we definitely enjoyed everything and feel like it was worth it! read more

Okay the pluses: cool vibe in this space, cocktails were great (maybe a little overpriced) and the food was pretty good. Negatives: this was our third attempt at reservations (they decided to close for whatever reason twice before so they cancelled), limited Sunday menu (which they don't disclose on their web site), and they asked if it was a special occasion (which it was; 30th anniversary but they didn't acknowledge it at all). We would love for this place to be special, but they do NOT reply to on-line inquiries and on a Sunday night be prepared for random employees to wander through in Bermuda shorts and start singing to the songs playing in the background. One waiter serving 6 tables. BTW if you're a wine place, do NOT serve Chardonnay ice cold (it's not supposed to be served like that). Love the concept, but meh on execution. Spent almost $200 on a so-so experience. Not going back anytime soon. read more

‍‍ We were driving home to Nashville after a fun weekend in Memphisand came across this quaint sophisticated gem in Jackson not far from the interstate (~15 min) open on a Sunday night. Intimate, beautifully set artistic ambiance Kindly checked with us that we were were okay with a limited Sunday evening menu before seating us. Nice amount of choices still available. Sunday menu could be updated with descriptions if I could offer my opinion! We got the burger- TASTY! ! Came with shoestring ish fries- ALSO TASTY! ! We also got 4 raw oysters- YUM - and would ask for horseradish to add to the green chili hot sauce they have on them- also The elderflower cocktail was cant remember the name! The wedge salad was also -get extra buttermilk ranch! And those cherry tomatoes yes please. For dessert, we got the Biscotti cookie butter and bberry custard cup- like a soft peanut butter and jelly gone classy take called Pot De Creme or Pot something- errmerrgerd. Needed more. Amazing! Thank you for a lovely experience and a fine dinner! read more

Eclectic menu, staff in knowledgeable and friendly. This is our second visit for Sunday Brunch, the first visit being last week. Food is wonderful and the atmosphere is contemporary. read more

The restaurant is nice, in a city that has limited "nice" restaurants. I call it nice because the price point is that of Ruth Chris with no sides and a very limited menu. Went on a solo date. Fast seating at the bar from an attentive host/front of house. Bartender was kind- although we didn't speak much. I started with a Negroni and he later suggested a simple gin up. I ordered hushpuppies and the steak frites. Everything was salty - So very salty. It was the only 'flavor'. Steak could be cut with a butter knife but you needed lots of water to wash it down. Ambience was nice, staff were kind, but I paid a hefty price for salt. read more

This restaurant is unlike anything Jackson has ever had! The staff is incredible and the food is amazing! TJ provided outstanding service and anticipated our needs the entire evening. His knowledge of the ever changing menu and process of preparing the different menu items was impressive! Highly recommend this restaurant! We will definitely be going back! read more

I'm going to be honest. The food was great, and the staff were nice; however, their portion-to-price range was terrible. I got their pasta of the day, which today, was some kind of pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and lobster. I understand that lobster is expensive, and you normally don't get a lot of it- which is fine. However, my pasta bowl consisted of about 10-15 pieces of pasta. My fiance got their iberico pork chop, and it came with a lot of food, and it was great. However, paying $30 for food and leaving hungry is not ideal, especially after this was supposed to be an anniversary meal, and I was extremely excited to try this new place. read more

I highly recommend trying this place if you haven't been. The intimate atmosphere, charming staff, and top notch food set this place apart from all of the competition. There is no other place like this in the area. It is expensive, but worth it in my opinion. They also offer a more affordable lunch and brunch menu. read more

Fantastic atmosphere. The bar Manager and staff are all so very nice. Drinks are great! Food is Amazing; top notch. Reminds me of being back in Nashville. You must stop in here. read more

I'm genuinely grateful that Jackson finally has an upscale restaurant committed to food lovers. We've been three times now, and the quality has been consistently strong. Standouts include the quail, whatever the burger of the moment is, the surprisingly excellent Thai-infused sweet potato salad, the charred prawns, steak frites, and the mint gelato. I am really impressed by how frequently the menu rotates to leave room for experimentation and surprise, and I hope that continues. We also appreciate the intentional nonalcoholic offerings, including some harder-to-source beers and a genuinely good NA prosecco. Service is solid and the ambience works well. The space itself may not compete with the multi-investor restaurant groups in Nashville or Memphis, but for Jackson it's extremely well-appointed and makes the most of what it has. My one significant gripe is portion size. I'm not a big eater, and neither are the five different people I've dined with there...but every time, we finish all our plates and leave wishing there had been more. I understand that upscale dining often favors restraint and intention, but I still expect to leave a restaurant feeling satisfied, not hungry again an hour later. A bit more heft on most of the plates would go a long way, especially in a climate like Jackson. In the end, though, this restaurant feels like a real step forward for Jackson: thoughtful, well-executed, and consistent enough to earn repeat visits. read more

Delicious food and nice atmosphere. Pricey for sure but nothing like it in Jackson. Service was great as well. Pick this over Flat Iron any day. Will definitely be back read more

Great food and service. Grilled oysters were some of the best we've ever had. Definitely worth your time for a good meal or special occasion. We will definitely be back. read more

Great ambiance, excellent food. The cornbread is not merely the best cornbread I've had to date, but among the best dishes I've ever tasted. The service was also 5/5. read more

The food was just okay with nothing particularly memorable. The prices were extremely high for what you get. The only bright spot was the service, which was good, and the restaurant had a small, intimate atmosphere. Overall, it was not worth the price and I left disappointed. read more

My husband and I have been to Central Creek several times and it is always wonderful. Jackson desperately needed a restaurant like this. We have had most everything on the menu and have not been disappointed yet! Great local restaurant with a fun atmosphere, great food, and top notch service. read more
