    The owner and staff are amazing and the food is excellent. Try the steak fajitas next time I love them.

    This establishment is TERRIBLE. The management staff is not only unprofessional, but they are rude…read moreand dismissive. They do not honor reservations for individuals that went through proper channels to secure their place. When explaining that the individuals were waiting on the rest of the party they canceled the reservation and dismissed the party. This place of business was not trying to work with the customers as they were being condescending and dismissive while creating a hostile environment. I truly believe management is racist and I do not recommend this establishment to anyone to spend their hard-earned money on. Please take your business and your money elsewhere.

When we arrived (on time and actually 10 minutes early) we were not greeted and ended up just standing waiting for someone to greet us. When no one arrived we asked to speak with a manager. When someone did arrive we were told that another party took priority over us, although we had prior and confirmed reservations for 6. Then we were told to leave the property or law enforcement would be called. I have never been so disrespected by a small business ever in my life. I don't even want to speculate as to why we were treated in this manner, other than the color of our skin. This place definitely gives bigotry vibes and I highly recommend staying away from this establishment. With small businesses already fighting inflation and other economic factors, it is ridiculous this establishment would turn away honest, good paying patrons. Personally, South Haven, MS would be a better place without a business that operates like Sippin Silo.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner in its sun room with a neutral natural palette that I once indulged myself at the Rose Tavern in Canandaigua in Upstate New York. That nostalgic feeling of being in a beautiful tavern is pure delight. Absolutely beautiful restaurant, truly deserves limelight recognition in Germantown. Our darling Annalise server was extremely friendly. We loved the presentation of our dinner, but the octopus was a bit soft for our taste. I've had plenty of octopus in other cities and understand the dish is typically more expensive, but a small single mediocre tentacle is quite pricey for $28. I personally prefer a crispy and firmer chew for octopus. The scallops and shishito peppers were a delightful pairing. Valet parking shouldn't be forced upon the customer though? I felt bad that I don't carry cash to tip the valet, and valet is mandatory unless you want to park on the side streets and walk over. Do carry any cash! I wish that a portion of the parking lot was open for self parking though as those boys don't need to help out every guest who don't need valet and subjecting them to wait around for the boys to grab cars that we're perfectly capable of doing ourselves.

The actual restaurant is beautiful and the moody lighting and colorful decor was cool and hip. Do kids still say hip? Whatever, it was hip. The cocktails were fabulous and we order waaaay too much food. I have to say, everything was amazing. See pics for what we ordered- the green papaya salad is my favorite and they did it right! Ask for their house made pepper/fish sauce to drizzle on top Coming from Atlanta where the Vietnamese is exceptional, I've really struggled in Memphis to find that amazing spot to get my Viet fix. Valet was nice to not have to figure parking for yourself, bring some cash! We will totally be back!

If that's your policy , please explain it and not scam people . At any point in your SMS reservation you could have explained your policy the 150 charge because your host did not. Will not be returning . EDIT** In response to Margaret , In the initial time of the booking you did not . And I was only aware of your "policy" after getting charged . And I did not book through the website . I booked in person. Nothing was said about your policy and it was very unprofessional.

The sriracha really was a nice flavor add. Drinks: We decided to purchase a bottle of Prosecco and we asked for all 3 mimosa juice mixers on the side to make our own mimosas. Highly recommend if you're going with friends to make it more cost effective and the drinks more boozy. Ambiance: STUNNING! Cutest decorations. There's outside seating and private rooms that I'd like to utilize next time I go. There was no wait time and it wasn't too loud like other restaurants at breakfast. Service: So kind, attentive, and patient! I'm not from the south but I felt like it was the epitome of southern hospitality. Our server was really great.It was great seeing the hotel and restaurant managers out and about and visible as well. Don't waste your time waiting 2+ hours for other breakfast and brunch restaurants. Head here instead!

I had a fantastic espresso martini and the best brussel sprouts I've ever tasted! So I was excited to come try something else. On the plus side, the bathroom was so nicely decorated. It was also very clean. I sat at the end of the bar, beside the little section of books. The bartender was nice. I ordered the Ember&Passion cocktail. Although it was pretty good, it was quite mild. Unexpected with the ingredients in it. I was surprised that the level of expected heat was not very detectable. I give it 7/10. When I came here before in the winter, the temperature was perfect and I don't remember being too bothered that they don't have cocktail napkins. But yesterday it was quite warm in the restaurant and not having these napkins wasn't good. Nobody in the restaurant had any type of napkin under any drink! I noticed that just like mine, every glass of water from every patron had a puddle of condensation under the glass. Each time I picked up my glass of water, it would drip onto my food and clothes. My two menus got so wet. I suppose they made this decision to save themselves a lot of money. As for the food: My parmesan truffle fries were excellent!! Hot, crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked in the middle. Best I've had in a long time. The Alabama white sauce on the side was just your typical sauce. It tasted just like every other Alabama white sauce that I've had so was not disappointing. But I actually ended up not using it because it was too thin and it didn't add anything to the fries. The fries were excellent enough on their own. I ordered my burger "pink" but there wasn't any pink to it, but I wasn't that bothered about it. Burger and the toppings were tasty, except for the fried green tomato. Looking closely at the picture, you can see that it was SO SMALL compared to the size of the burger. When a restaurant does that, don't they realize that it makes for a glaring disappointment?! It apparently came from near the end of the tomato, and not the middle. If you are going to offer a fried green tomato on a burger, then I feel as if you should only use the larger slices of the tomato, and save the smaller ends for maybe putting in salads. I've always been obsessed with fried green tomatoes. After having my first two bites of burger and still not reaching the tomato, I took it off to eat by itself. Sadly, it tasted terrible! I was surprised. Obviously, they didn't season the tomato or the batter. (Salt and pepper go a long way.) The burger toppings apparently made the tomato batter not only soggy, but also this strange thick texture. Like mushy and chewy at the same time. 1/10 Worst problem: FLIES!!! So many flies! When I just had my drink but no food yet, I noticed them but was not bombarded by them at that point. It wasn't until my food came. All of a sudden I was literally surrounded by them. They were everywhere! No exaggeration. I actually had to use only one hand to eat and the other hand to constantly move back and forth over my food. I eventually gave up and set the plate of some of my fries about 4 inches in front of my burger in order to hopefully draw the flies to the fries so that I could eat my burger. Unfortunately, after only four bites of my burger, when I set it down to take a drink of water, a fly landed on it within one second. Obviously, that was my last bite, and even when I was moving the plate closer to the end of the counter, two more flies landed on it. The glass of straws was inches from me. That, and the book closest to me seemed to be where they gathered to wait for their opportunity to dive bomb me. So many of them! It turned my stomach when I realized that I had been drinking from a straw with my water and I'm sure there had been flies on it before I got there. Every person that gets a straw in their drink at this restaurant has had a fly sitting on top of it. When the bartender told me about the desserts, it turned my stomach to think of just how many flies were in the kitchen. Had I known the fly situation was that bad when I first got my drink, I would have never stayed there, and I certainly would have never ordered food. I do think it is a real shame because the winter months are a totally different experience in that restaurant. But because of how horrible it was this time, I just can't ever come back.

    I was really looking forward to this visit since I haven't been here in years, but unfortunately,…read morethe experience fell short in several areas. I ordered the shrimp tossed in chili teriyaki sauce, as listed on the menu. The shrimp were fried extremely hard and arrived cold. Instead of being properly tossed in sauce, there was only a minimal drizzle on a few pieces, which made the dish feel incomplete and not as described. The catfish nuggets and fries were just okay--again, both arrived cold, which seems to be a consistent issue with food temperature. The bar experience was also disappointing. The green tea shots were not made correctly, and the "double" shot of Jack Daniels was poured more like a single. In addition, the menu did not include any drink options or pricing. While the waiter mentioned they have a full bar, having a drink menu (even a basic one) would make ordering much easier and more enjoyable, especially for guests looking to try something new. Service-wise, the waiter was clearly overwhelmed and not very available, but when she did come to the table, she was very kind and pleasant. No complaints about her attitude--just a staffing or management issue. Overall, there's definitely potential here, but improvements are needed in food temperature, menu accuracy, and bar consistency to elevate the experience.

Everyone appeared to have a good time and it only went up after Boosie arrived. Parking: large lot as it's in a shopping plaza. Premium parking was available for $60.
