    Erling Jensen is my favorite spot for date nights, holidays, and events. The food and drinks have never let me down. The service is very professional and well-coordinated, but therefore the atmosphere is less warm than some other local restaurants with a more casual style of service. It's a good value at $75 for five courses (Thursday and Friday) and $45 for three courses on Sunday only. I have not ordered a la carte yet, but it all seems excellent. My favorite dishes have been the deconstructed beef Wellington, the duck confit en croute, the "shrimp, corn, tomato", and the pecan tart (ie fancy pecan pie). Dishes I didn't love include the sweetbread, the bison filet, and the chocolate mousse dessert. I love their Manhattan After Dark cocktail and their wine pairing offerings.

    Yana was PHENOMENAL and provided the best service I've had in Memphis yet (which is a pretty high bar) Extraordinary service, very attentive and knowledgeable while being herself, genuine and very chill. She made me feel at home and welcomed while I was far away from my family and friends on a business trip. Food here excellent and high quality while the drinks expertly prepared and strong. I will definitely be back with family, business colleagues and clients. Thank you!

    Just pure consistent excellence. Erling is a true asset to our community. Always supports local causes too. Happy to return the patronage.

    Amazing!!! From the food to the service everything screams fine dining. It is in a quaint location that makes it feel very intimate. Our server was wonderful! Her name was Lana or Llana (sp?) She was patient (as it was our first time) and very willing to explain and go through menu items. She even came to our table once our items came out to ensure that we liked it and implied that we could try something different if we didn't. That never happened. Everything we tried was amazing!! They even brought out some cookies to celebrate my mom's birthday! It was an amazing dining experience and I can't wait to go back!

    Beautifully done for a very special birthday party November 1 2022 Happy birthday to you!!

    The chocolate martini was delicious. Best part of the meal. However, it was $1 more than what the menu said it cost. Seems deceptive but what's a $1.. the caviar was $150 for 2 ounces. It was not the best caviar I've had. It tasted fishy. It tasted like a cheap caviar to me. I was disappointed. Didn't taste like quality caviar:

Every time is a quest and I scored on all counts with Magnolia and May! Typically, we eat at a different place every month to "test the market." But it was unanimous that we come back here next month. We all want to try something different as everyone thought their entrée was the best. Everyone was a bit concerned about the location and parking, but it was easy to locate and easy to park. Service with impeccable and food was fabulous. There were many varied choices for lunch so we all got something different with no complaints!! That's a win for the home team The entrees were savory, cooked to perfection and spot on. The decor was very comfortable, the lighting was perfect as were the fixtures . And now that I'm writing this, my mouth is actually watering so to treat this I'm going tonight with my husband for wine and dinner. It's a win-win!

Colin and Sammy were the baristas for both visits. They were super kind and helpful. Loved the new truck decked out in pink. Will find them again in the city since their lattes are balanced between the espresso and variety of offered flavors. Great new coffee truck to return to each week!

    Great food! Everything was quite tasty. The service was great!…read more A large group left the restaurant and it took more than 45 minutes for someone to clean it up. There weren't that many customers in during this time and I saw quite a few waiters that could have cleaned it up. Maybe I'm a bit of a prude - when I eat out, I'd prefer not to see dirty dishes on empty tables when I'm walking to/from the laboratory. Regardless, I will be returning next time I'm in Memphis. One more comment - when I used to live in Memphis (maybe 5 years ago?) this restaurant had a piano player some nights. This was AWESOME !!! Any chance of bringing that back??? That piano player made the place SO SPECIAL compared to other restaurants. It was the perfect blend of a good meal in a nice environment with a magnificent musician demonstrating their talents. Always kinda felt magical in a manner of speaking

He was then subsequently also tasked with an entire conference room full of people to serve. - When our food did finally come out, it was lukewarm and the appetizer arrived when the rest of our meal arrived, 47 minutes after we arrived. --- Total miss management of staffing!!! - Also, they are cutting back on the size of the meatballs now, which used to be a favorite. We'll think twice about returning here!

This is a smoking bar and the smell of smoke is thick. They have $3 shots and I enjoyed a couple of those. I think there were 3 Olives Vodka, Jager, Goldschagger, and something lemon. There were only two parties here and one of them was mine. The bartender completely ignored us and did not take our order. He was serving the other table. I went to the bar to place a drink order and go back to my table. He called out to me that he could make the drink now. All this so he wouldn't have to walk to my table. We finished our drinks and went to another bar.

    I use to come here for poker. Then came here for karoke when Wind Jammer closed last year…read more I found it to be ok for a short time being. But I was turned off by the lack of space downstairs & found it a little bit crowded and dull. They do offer an upstairs area that's a lot larger more equipped to hold events like karoke & poker. Which doesn't seem to be utilized much & should be used a bit more. It would be a lot more fun to enjoy entertainment in a spacious area over then being crowded & trying to find a seat. I really don't find it great for Football as I like to watch multiple games on other screens. I do really enjoy the grill as they offer a nice selection of bar classic favorites. I had the chicken strips with fries which I would consider order again. But with all the other classics it's hard to choose. I almost gave Sports Pub 3 over the upstairs not being utilized enough for weekend entertainment. This establishment has the potential has to be the most entertaining sports bar in the neighborhood. But utilization more of the upstairs would make this place my 2nd home i'd spend noon to close in almost everyday.
