I hadn’t been here since before covid and it was just as delicious as I remembered. Started with a wonderful brut rose sparkling wine and the cold sesame noodles, then seared tuna served over cucumber salad. The tuna was seared perfectly and wonderfully tasty. Had sorbet trio for dessert, which included strawberry, raspberry, and jackfruit; the mild jackfruit was a great contrast to the sweetness of the other two flavors. Also had chocolate-banana lumpia, basically an egg roll with banana and melted chocolate inside. The restaurant was busy and despite the tables with 6-8 people, we were able to talk easily, no need for shouting over others. All in all, a great meal with terrific service and fantastic food!

We were staying at the River Inn of Harbor Town. We needed to leave early for a graduation ceremony on Saturday morning. We requested to have our breakfast ready to go by 7 am. They had our breakfasts ready on time and they were delicious. (thank you!) On Sunday, we dined in at the restaurant. We all ordered different items and they were all good. Our server was nice and professional. Next time we are in Memphis, we would definitely dine there again.
