- DDebbyMemphis / West Tennessee •15 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoEating at Flight is always a treat. The food is exceptional and the variety is always appealing. It is also our first choice for special occasions. The service is top notch and the location, in the heart of downtown, is fun.More infoFlight Restaurant & Wine BarPrice: Expensive• American• Downtown•4.9
- CCristinaSt. Louis •11 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoWe had a nice dinner the day after Christmas. The menu was enticing but I chose the special - pan-seared mahi-mahi with poblano cream rice and broccolini. It was lovely: very light and delicious (and arrived hot!). My husband chose the seafood orecchiette pasta which should have been called “fish pasta” because there was no seafood (such as shrimp, scallops, shellfish…It had minced salmon and redfish. hmmm … two of the regular entrees!). It was outright bland and boring. The sauce was a creamy tomato with no zest or flavor. They graciously did not charge us for it. The salads (wedge and house) were both excellent. The wine selection limited but adequate. We were grateful for the ambiance and noise level where one could have a conversation. Carla, the waitress was tops!!!More infoMcEwen's on MonroePrice: Moderate• Southern• Downtown•4.9

- MMeridithMemphis / West Tennessee •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 6, 2024It is a rare occasion to have great service these days. Curfew far exceeded my expectations. The staff was so gracious and friendly. I made reservations here for a business meeting on a Friday morning, and it was the perfect location. The noise level was low, the waiter was great, and the manager as well as the chef stopped by our table to make sure everything was to our liking. THIS is how you do customer service. I left a 40percent tip, and I’ve already scheduled another business meeting for this location next week. Bravo to the Curfew staff. Please keep it up!! 🙏🏾More infoCurfew - MemphisPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•2.7
