    The restaurant seemed disorganized. Although not full, the staff couldn’t get the food ordered or delivered in a timely manner. The soup was cold. Overall, not worth the price.

    Our service was an excellent experience. We arrived before a show at the Orpheum, we were asked if we had a time restriction, which they met with no issue. Everything that we ordered was perfectly prepared. Zero complaints or criticisms. Staff was on top of everything, even if it wasn’t their table. Definitely an excellent foodie add to the downtown Memphis scene!
