We did see that there's plenty of tables available and figured it might be due to understaff. Overall service was very slow. From being seated to taking orders and food being served. Unfortunately my egg Benedict came with the eggs being soft boiled rather than runny. Other than that, it's decent compared to the other outlet.

Great food! Everything was quite tasty. The service was great!…read more A large group left the restaurant and it took more than 45 minutes for someone to clean it up. There weren't that many customers in during this time and I saw quite a few waiters that could have cleaned it up. Maybe I'm a bit of a prude - when I eat out, I'd prefer not to see dirty dishes on empty tables when I'm walking to/from the laboratory. Regardless, I will be returning next time I'm in Memphis. One more comment - when I used to live in Memphis (maybe 5 years ago?) this restaurant had a piano player some nights. This was AWESOME !!! Any chance of bringing that back??? That piano player made the place SO SPECIAL compared to other restaurants. It was the perfect blend of a good meal in a nice environment with a magnificent musician demonstrating their talents. Always kinda felt magical in a manner of speaking

As an international traveling food critic and unbeknownst to the staff, the following is what I…read moreexperienced: - We arrived at 11:10 for an 11:15 reservation and it was clear that the management did not plan for ample staff nor were the scheduled staff in position ready to serve prior to their 11 o'clock opening. - Our waiter, Matthew was very pleasant, but it took him over seven minutes for his first visit to our table. He was then subsequently also tasked with an entire conference room full of people to serve. - When our food did finally come out, it was lukewarm and the appetizer arrived when the rest of our meal arrived, 47 minutes after we arrived. --- Total miss management of staffing!!! - Also, they are cutting back on the size of the meatballs now, which used to be a favorite. We'll think twice about returning here!

They have an amazing Sunday brunch but recently I came for dinner and ordered the oysters and the pasta jambalaya. Both are very flavorful options.

Highly recommend this restaurant for a business dinner, outing with friends or a great option Sundays after church!

I was unaware how big my bowl of soup was going to be so he suggested halfway through, I get it to go and start on my salad. He knew exactly what I needed. Also the manager at lunch was on it. Anytime I see a GM bussing tables makes me know I'm in a great place. They work as a team and I didn't feel lonely as I ate lunch by myself. Even the waitress who brought me my soup and salad were delightful. Just when I thought I came here for the food...nope, the experience was just as comparable. Thank you, from a working mom with a husband and kids who likes an alone lunch every now and then! I have never left a review before, but today was outstanding.

We attended church in Memphis which ends at 12:30 and bc we live out of state, we had to find things to do for 3 1/2 hrs. We discovered when we arrived that they had opened up reservations an hour early after we booked. I wish that they had first informed those of us who had first reservations so that we could move ours up. We arrived about 20 minutes early expecting to wait until our 4:00 reservation but they seated us immediately. We ordered wedge and harvest salads for our first course and the oyster deviled eggs appetizer. Both salads were very good. I did think the egg were a little bland and I didn't taste the oyster on one of the 4 deviled eggs. The candied bacon topping is what made the eggs overall good. Otherwise l, without the candied topping it was bland. I ordered the pork chop with sweet potato casserole and Brussels sprouts. My dish was very good and enough for me to take more than half for leftovers. (This doesn't mean change the portion bc it's just right.) My husband ordered the fried chicken dish. It was a giant piece of chicken. Fried very nicely but the coating was not seasoned well, if at all, to me. However, he enjoyed his meal and that's what counts. He said the collard greens were absolutely delicious and the mac and cheese was very cheesy and good! He also took home most of his meal. We don't have big appetites so the portions are probably just right for the majority. I took home the lemon pie dessert. I was expecting more of a meringue taste based on the description but it wasn't, so I wouldn't order it again. We ordered the house wine and 1 of the specialty drinks. The staff were very professional and friendly. The manager (I assume) stopped by every table to check on us. The restaurant has very nice ambiance and the tables have a nice amount of distance between them. It looks well maintained and the bathrooms are clean. The price point isn't bad esp for the generous portions. We've eaten at this restaurant a couple of times before over the years, and I still recommend it.
