    Ribeye was perfect. I wouldn’t not get it with the brown sauce next time. It was like a gravy. The greens were perfection!

    We had a daddy daughter date and arrived in the early evening. We were able to enjoy a great conversation and great food. As we were leaving it was starting to get crowded. I am happy we went early. It seems to be a popular place and it is in a convenient location.

    Food was okay, the shrimp bisque was too thin and just lukewarm. I had the halibut, it was cooked well but not much flavor. The broccolini was overcooked. Service was great.

    Service and value are always exceptional at McEwens John Michael was our server and took great care of us. He made informed wine selections and made sure we never ran out of water. I had the ribeye and my wife had salmon. Both were cooked perfectly. The steak was tender and the glaze was tasty, it complimented the steak without overpowering it. The salmon is always a favorite of ours. The prices are very reasonable, they could charge more and it would still be a value.

    Made valentine reservations for my husband and I. We drove from Clarksdale and were 10 minutes late but we were received without hesitation. Our server was Kayla? I think? But she was awesome, very friendly, kind and knowledgeable. Our food came out in good time, I’m a huge foodie and was impressed by the dishes that were on the menu. I ordered the pork enchiladas, a Caesar salad, and the sweet potato crusted fish. Everything was 10/10! I wanted to lick my plate but I was so full!! I will be back often!

    We had an amazing dinner. Quiet atmosphere. Service was awesome. Must try duck enchiladas, so good for appetizer. Beef tenderloin was so delicious and the Brussels sprouts are a must try. Salads were very good. Crème brûlée, bread pudding and Banana crème pie - amazing! I would highly recommend - you will not be disappointed.
