    We had a phenomenal evening at Paulette’s and can’t wait to go back! We were visiting Memphis for the long weekend and I made a late reservation on a whim. We got to the restaurant very early due to a torrential rain storm and the hostess kindly checked us in and, while our table wasn’t ready yet, recommended that we head upstairs to Terrace to wait, which was also lovely. She called our phone directly when our table was ready. The food was delicious, perfect cocktails, and service was on point. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area and looking for a classy night out!

    Capriccio Grill delivers an exceptional dining experience! The calamari was perfectly crispy with a flavorful kick. The ribeye, cooked to perfection, was juicy and tender, paired beautifully with fresh asparagus and broccolini. Impeccable service and a warm ambiance made for a memorable evening. A must-visit for steak lovers! #FoodieApproved

    We attended Curfew Memphis for their Cupid’s Curfew Galentine’s event, and it was an experience to remember! From the warm welcome by the staff to our attentive waitress (Emani) ensuring we had everything we needed, we’ll definitely be returning. Manager Gabrielle stopped by to check that everything was perfect, and host Keri set the tone with unmatched vibes. To top it all off, the event featured a talented violinist, Journey, whose performance added the perfect touch of elegance. An unforgettable night—we couldn’t have asked for more!

    Let me first start off by saying, I do not typically write reviews, if I enjoy the food/service at a restaurant, I return and dine repeatedly. But if I don’t like a restaurant, I simply don’t return and I tell all of my friends about poor service/food. I had an outstanding meal at McEwens last night. I was greeted by the owner, who was extremely warm and friendly. I sat at the bar, I enjoyed the yummy oyster appetizer and the out-of-this world Creole Ossobuco. I watched several meals come out of the kitchen, everything looked delicious. If you find yourself in Memphis, McEwen’s on Monroe is an absolute must. The next time I’m Memphis, I will certainly be back there for another great meal. Did I mention, the food was amazing but wasn’t overpriced. Cheers!!
