We went once, mid-October, and it was fine--good food, average service, no delays. The charm of the decor, etc. was somewhat offset by it being pretty empty... but the view is nice.
Obviously, since I haven't been back and I live in the area, it wasn't anything too memorable. I'd go again but wish they had outdoor seating. Maybe they do and I just can't tell for all the road construction.
this place is tasty but the service is ridiculous. i have tried it several times, but the service never improves. ONE TIME i had good service, but it was because my friend and i were the only people in the place. bums me out, because the food is good and it's right down the street. dont eat here if youre low on patience.
Awesome food, but need Security for the parking lot. My new truck was attempted stolen. I am scared to come back.
The food is good, and the service is very good. The place is like a full-service version of Pei Wei. This is not a slam; I like Pei Wei.
A nice place, a beer lovers dream.. The menu isn't the greatest selection.. but you can find something to snack on.. wonderful atmosphere with trivia nights.. I would absolutely recommend for beer drinking social people..
Re: “Pete & Sam's”
Food has always been pretty good, but over the last few years the service has been abysmal.
Re: “Germantown Commissary”
Its good BBQ but thats really not saying much in memphis. I really do not understand what all of the fuss is about. The sauce is a little too sweet for me.
Re: “Firebirds”
Service is nothing to write home about, pretty much what you expect to see at a Red Lobster or Chili's. The atmosphere is pretty good. The steaks are good, but on the pricey side. Overall impression is that is good but there are better places in Memphis.
Re: “Chez Philippe”
Chez Phillip has lost it's luster. It used to be the Best of the Best in memphis. They have gone to a fix price menu. At the price, every course should be exceptional. I had a soup with truffled popcorn that was just nasty. However the pork course was exceptional. The decour is a little over the top, but I would still recomend this resturant to a non foodie looking for a romantic night out.
Re: “Boscos Squared”
I so want to give Bosco's a great review. The beer is great, and the appitizers are very good, try the fried artichoke. I have been to Bosco's three times over as many years, each time my food was either, burned, or raw. My companions food as been excellent. Each time they have corrected the problem with no issues. I want to like the place, but just have no luck when I order food there.
Re: “Bari Ristorante Enoteca”
Good, service was very good, but for the price the food should be much better. Honestly, at this price point, I either expect rare and exotic ingredients, or an impressive presentation. Over all I would say that it was good, but there are better choices in the memphis area.
Re: “Sekisui Pacific Rim”
The food was good but the service was sloooooooooowwwwwwwwwww. Went on my lunch hour, and by the end of my lunch hour I still hadn't been served.
Sekesui East is better.
Re: “Flight Restaurant & Wine Bar”
Went a few saturdays back they were all booked so an over zealuos manager in a horrible sport jacket rushed me off to the bar where i had diner ,the bartender(a very cute young lady) was very helpful with the wines flights a great concept but they were served warm,also enjoyed the beef flight seemed to take a long time but was prepared well, I might go back to see the bartender ;)
Re: “Bonefish Grill”
I think this should read "Dinner for one $18" or Dinner for two $36. This is what I call sneaky advertising! Because nothing I read said "per person" until I went to the restaurant and the card says Dinner for Two $36. Why not just advertise it for $36 not $18. I don't care how "Bang Bang the shrimp is" it doesn't speak much for there advertising to lure people in. Let your food speak for itself because it is good.

Re: “Corky's”
I have been there several times. I consider it middle of the road. The prices are not too bad and the service is pretty good. The ribs are most of the time slightly overcooked. Every now and then you get them perfect.
Re: “Cafe Eclectic”
Our first experience was good, but the second time was amusing, in a bad way. We called ahead about desserts and were told they had stuff that they really didn't. Then, the desserts we got were not even fresh. They were dry and crumbly.
Re: “Germantown Commissary”
Great chopped pork sandwich packed with meat and topped with slaw. Would not recommend the ribs. They were dry, dry and should not have been served. We had a late dinner around 7:00pm so the ribs were probably re-heated from the time they came out of the smoker that morning. Not the way to run a BBQ restaurant
Re: “Fino's From the Hill”
Fino's is good and is similar to those deli's in St Louis. To the poster before me, they are probably closed monday b/c they are a small deli not a chain and everyone needs a day off. If you are ever in Germantown area, you should try Vanelli's Deli. Family owned, great food.
Re: “Fino's From the Hill”
Fino's has the best homemade turnovers and soups. The service is friendly. Their Italian food is OK but not earth shattering. They have strange hours of operations, closing at 6:30 PM everyday, just when I start to get hungry after work. Closed on Mondays- I never understood that concept when being located in such a large market area. Parking is always a challenge.
THIS WEEK'S ISSUE
SPECIAL ISSUES
Went to the new restaurant which opened on August 4th and the food was excellent. Menu reasonably priced, fresh, well presented, salads cold, entree served hot, generous portions. Great atmosphere, servers could improve a little. Overall a great place for the money!
