And, all dishes were served pretty much at the same time and all were hot (impressive). Our server made an excellent wine recommendation. The dining room is somewhat small,,,maybe 50 people max capacity. So if you are going, make a reservation. The chef/owner came out to check on our party (also impressive). The menu is somewhat limited but that only tells me that the chef specializes on those menu items. No burgers here! Definitely put this place on your list to go. Highly recommented!

Our group of 4 thought the food was just okay. My chicken dish was barely warm & the chicken dry. Greek salad was skimpy, not very Greeky -no feta cheese, dressing bland. Pasta dish & other Italian dish ok but also lukewarm. Never offered any parmesan cheeses. Martinis were very good. Desert was ok -doubt were home made. Service was pushy & annoying. While enjoying cocktails & appetizers, waitress continuously pestered us to place our dinner order. She eventually told us they had other reservations coming, yet place was empty the entire evening. Restaurant in need of update & freshening up. Chairs need replacing. Are very uncomfortable. Pads are so worn, you're sitting on the wood frame. It's too bad. Use to be a very good place. Been around a long time. Maybe the owner is tired,

This was an early lunch visit with already a good number of patrons at the bar. We love the chicken salad and frozen fruit offered at lunch. Everything is always tasty, ESPECIALLY their hand battered, fresh fried mushrooms with creamy horseradish dip. Always our starter. I love the photos posted near the entrance and bar area. It's shows how much they appreciate their customers. Some evenings they have live entertainment for their patrons to enjoy along with daily specials offered.

Recently visited Mortimer's for Sunday dinner. The service was good, but unfortunately the food…read moreleft a lot to be desired. I ordered the chopped sirloin steak, though what arrived was essentially a chargrilled hamburger patty topped with sautéed onions and mushrooms. For my side, I chose the red beans and rice, but thought it tasted bland and the beans were still quite firm, almost as if they hadn't been cooked long enough. I also had a salad that was decent overall, although I had to pick out several brown pieces of lettuce. Oddly enough, the salad ended up being my favorite part of the meal. That said, I'll chalk this up to ordering the wrong items. Perhaps, if I had chosen differently, I may have enjoyed the experience more. Mortimer's has the feel of a cozy neighborhood bar and has a rich history that spans more than 45 years, and I completely understand why some people refer to it as "Memphis' Cheers." I see the Monday night Prime Rib gets high regards so maybe one day I'll come back and order that.

I didn't even know this place existed. Apparently they've been only doing food 8 months but they…read morehave had the space for several years as a party venue. Super cute. The interior is not pretentious by any means and as a matter of fact there's a very neighborhood feel. You have to order for the counter and the young man running it (one of the owners I'm assuming) was exceptionally kind. I immediately picked the catfish and grits and it came out to my table in about 6 min. The fish was perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. The grits were amazing. All in all I had an absolutely wonderful experience and can't wait to come back and try more!!

So for starters I wanted to like this place, but it was a couple things that bothered me. For one I…read morewas interested in ordering a peach cobbler waffle overheard the manager tell the previous customers that it was gonna be a 45 minute wait I had waited about 25 minutes on my friends who were supposed to meet me so I figured another 20 minutes wouldn't hurt by the time I got up to order my food. They went from saying it was gonna be 45 minutes to an hour, they didn't have a drink machine so they had a very limited amount of drinks , they ran out of ice, and the food was good, but it lacked a little bit as far as seasoning goes. I ended up getting the strawberry Crunch waffle while it was good. It was extremely sweet. The catfish and grits were the saving grace of this experience. The food wasn't bad but I won't be coming back.

Hands down, THE best fine dining restaurant in Memphis. (Maybe the world...maybe the UNIVERSE! LOL)…read more Every single thing I've ever eaten has been so incredibly delicious, but I do have a few favorites: Lobster scallion pancakes Bisque Dover sole Buffalo tenderloin w/lobster bearnaise Lamb The staff is polished, professional, and every time I come here, I leave with the biggest smile and the fullest tummy. Worth every penny to just KNOW you're going to have one of the best nights of your life.

Ordered the elk chop, bison filet, and the lamb rack. Lamb was better of the 3. Sides were ok. I did enjoy the blue cheese mash surprisingly since not a big blue cheese fan. Service was also just ok. Further explanations of ingredients used would have been preferred. Demeanor was just indifferent which is off putting. Also never even mentioned my parents anniversary. Two standouts though so not a total loss. The foie gras was excellent with the apricot. They give you a decent amount for ratio to bread. Delicious. The raspberry soufflé was extraordinary. Beautiful and tasty. The best soufflé I've had for sure. Not had many but this one is memorable. Don't skip that.

The Redfish Clemenceau is one dish that is sure to please. Redfish with panko breading, peas, potatoes, and mushroom in a light sauce, I really enjoyed. I am not a fan of all things fish, but I did venture out and I'm glad I did. I have also had the bread pudding and cheesecake, with the bread pudding being my favorite. Oysters are half price on Tuesday and I enjoyed the raw oysters better than the chargrilled. The chargrilled didn't taste chargrilled, because I could only taste the Parmesan, no garlic butter flavor at all. Oh as for appetizers, the bone marrow and crab au gratin, were great as well. I have tried so much in those two visits I can't remember everything! Fried oyster salad is full of oysters and less salad with blue cheese dressing that does not overpower the dish. Bbq shrimp was just ok, unfortunately the dining area I was in had blue lights so all those pictures came out...blue lol! Ladies bathroom was cleaned both visits and the atmosphere is very inviting.

Staff were very welcoming, polite, professional, neatly dressed and groomed as well! Our server was knowledgeable of the menu, and efficient! The table and menu had dedicated birthday acknowledgements, which added a special touch to the evening for a special occasion. We were given a complimentary glass of Prosecco to toast for dining in for my Birthday as well a small desert w/ a candle! To the food! Started with the BBQ shrimp as an appetizer, and it was a 9.5 out of 10! The sauce on the shrimp was so flavorful, I could drink the sauce with a straw! Didn't rate it 10/10 due to the charred persillade toast. I don't like tasting char... the bottom of the bread which was soft and buttery but would have been great to have the persillade spread on after the grill. Also why I didn't leave a 5 start review. Other than the toast the food was amazing, the dining experience was even better!!! I definitely recommend this place for dinner,I'm looking forward to visiting again for lunch!!
