My husband and I celebrated our anniversary, and we very much enjoyed our meal. We mixed and matched our flights. Favorites were elk tenderloin and Chilean sea bass! The soup flight and classic dessert flight were also delicious. We were seated next to the bar, making it a bit cramped and noisy so ambiance was not the best. Otherwise exceptional food and dining experience!

Great dining atmosphere, beautiful finishes, and loved the old and new look of the space. All staff was excellent. We had the lemon risotto for a starter, prawns, tempura with hummus, short ribs, filet, and carrot cake. We enjoyed every delectable bite.

A fantastic venue, as always. We ate dinner, and the highlight was the chicken and waffles. The music was high-energy and fun, and Memphis Jones did a grand tour of blues, soul, and Memphis history themes. Entertaining, upbeat, and fun with some great food. Wonderful night out.
