Victor was our server and had an amazing experience. I believe it was his first day serving at the restaurant but his professionalism and knowledge of the menu was impressive. Thanks to my experience with the server I would 10/10 come back later this month and will be asking for him. Food is also amazing-but for me hospitality will always win over what is served.

We traveled to Memphis for our first visit to Amelia Gene’s. Beautiful restaurant with terrific menu and wine list. I went with the sweet potato soup as an appetizer and sea bass for my entree. The wife had the filet and the carrot cake for dessert. We paired our meal with an excellent California Pinot Noir suggested by the sommelier. Everything was fantastic. Just a perfect meal. From the service to the ambience to the food/wine, a truly memorable dining experience. PS. Get the carrot cake. It will change your life. Trust me. 😃
