    Service and food was very mediocre. Took a while for our server to come to the table. She was very pleasant and attentive after that. Food was average. Fish tacos lacked flavor and could have been a bit hotter. The baked potato was warm at best and could have been cooked longer. Their menu has changed a lot. Not as many choices as I remember. There are far too many food establishments to pay for mediocre food.

    Plenty of seating. Dining area was clean and well lit. Waitress was prompt and got us drinks. Food was just okay. We have been to the one in east memphis and the one that used to be on Winchester. Food was better at both places. I had the blackened red snapper filet, tasted like a Sysco filet. Cajun chicken pasta was the better choice. Shrimp and grits had a small ice cream scoop worth of grits. Why? Were they almost out? Grits have to be the cheapest thing on the plate. Gumbo had a reddish gravy imo didn't taste like gumbo.. I hoped we would really like this place as it is close to our neighborhood. Maybe we will try it again in a couple of months.

    Great ambiance and service. Food delicious and these are just a few items on the new menu

    Salt AF

    It was just ok for me. The gumbo was not real New Orleans gumbo with a dark roux. This was orangey colored kind of like etoufee. It looks different in person than in the picture. It was salty too. They oysters were big. The Bienville was better than the Rockerfeller which was very bland. There was like no salt at all in the spinach filling. I don't know if I would come back.

    No better. Good service, terrible food. Price is ridiculously high. We've learned our lesson we will not be back.

    Service was great, Matt always has a smile! The bisque was wonderful! Blackened chicken Caesar salad had just the right amount of spice.

    The food and the atmosphere were good. For a Saturday evening service should have been a lot better especially since it was not that busy.

    Quaintly located where there is plenty of parking it spoke to the locals in a upscale way. The…read moredesigned was cheque and intimate. The service was personable and very helpful. I came with a friend and my mind and tastebuds were on steak... they didn't let us down. The apps we had we fantastic too. The bread and cheese player we ordered opened our eyes to delicious combinations of blueberry jam (which they make there) with a creamy cheese, that I wish I can remember the name of, then drizzled with honey they source locally! The bite was heaven. Then the dinner came. The beef tenderloin presented so beautifully and tasted so much better. The mushroom sauce was perfection with finely balanced flavors. Then I paired it with an Earthquake Cab, . Chef kiss!! Everything was absolutely memorable and enjoyable. One thing they could do to add to the ambiance is blocking the headlights of cars from shining into their restaurant. There are simple things that can be rolled out in front the restaurant to assist. But even with the lights shining they are the best thing I've had in a long time.

    Finally made a point to go try out this very nice restaurant in Germantown. Very cute French style…read morefeel with white tables and chairs. Place is small but very quaint. Service was excellent. Our server was very nice, attentive and provided recommendations and answered questions about the menu. She was fantastic. We started off with the mushroom toast that was covered with bacon, a variety of mushrooms, cheese, and a soft boiled egg. The umami flavors were out of this world. I would order that again. My friends had the half order of the Bolognese and mentioned it was delicious. Another friend ordered the salad and it was very fresh and a good portion. I ordered the pan seared flounder with grits and julienned vegetables. My dish was tasty but very salty to me. I am very sensitive to salt so it could just be my tastebuds. The food presentation was fabulous. It is plus when the food looks so good you want to dive into it quickly. I facilitated back and forth about ordering an after dinner cup of coffee. I am so glad I did. The coffee was made in a french press and the flavor was borderline divine! Our server was so nice. She comped my coffee. I will return to try lunch or brunch. The food, service, and ambience are worth enjoying multiple times.
