I have been to Memphis numerous times and passed right by this restaurant. This was my fault. I will add River Oaks to my... favorites lost going forward. This is a great cozy restaurant with a menu for everyone. The service was outstanding and thefood was even better. Read more
Second time eating here, always fantastic service, great atmosphere and delicious and beautifully plated foods. We had my... mothers 75th birthday here and we brought our one cake. The restaurant staff also bright the cake out with the candles webrought lit, after blowing out the candles they took the cake to the kitchen sliced and plated it and it was a fantasticexperience! We enjoyed several bottles of wine, appetizers and exceptional main courses! Read more
Came in around 4 and told they could seat us but that they had a reservation at 6. 2 hours is plenty of time to decide, order... and eat, right? Our food came about an hour and a half later. To their credit it was warm! The salmon and cauliflower risottowas really good. Unfortunately, we ordered shrimp. They looked good, but they were exceptionally dry, smelled bad, and tastedreally off. Unfortunate experience with a highly recommended restaurant Read more
The staff was extremely friendly, but we had a confusing visit. They sat us at a table and said they had a the table reserved... for 2 hours after we sat down. We didn't think it would be an issue, but it did end up taking an hour and a half for the food tocome out. Then when they did bring the food out they had forgotten the petite salad for my young niece. Not a huge deal, but theshrimp was really bad. Bad enough that I would recommend patrons avoid the shrimp. The shrimp was dry and chewy and smelledspoiled. So from my perspective, these very friendly people didn't get the child's salad first, Even though they had served twosalads, and the salad they did serve to the child was less than appetizing. Some of the dishes were home runs. The salmon wasdelicious, the watermelon salad was a treat, but it almost seems like a gamble of what is good. I can't in good consciousrecommend this place. It's a shame because the staff was so nice. For the prices here, the risk is not worth. Read more
The best burger I?ve ever eaten. And the rest of the food was tops as well. The wait was a bit long (over 30 minutes from when... order was placed) considering the fact that I was the only person in the restaurant but it was worth the wait. It was midafternoon so I?m guessing that they were changing shifts. Read more
Service was lovely, food was very yummy. We had the herb crusted lamb rack (perfectly cooked just the way I like my lamb), the... Monday night special beef bourguignon with fettuccine, and crème brûlée. Read more
Elegant atmosphere, exceptional service and menu with a nice variety. When I say elegant, I do not mean black tie, but you may... feel out of place in shorts and a t-shirt for sure. Food is precise, clean plating and every ingredient has a place/purpose. Ilove it!! Read more
Best dinner I?ve had in a long time! Salmon was excellent! My husband had the short ribs, they were great! Salad & dessert was... excellent! Chef took the time to speak to us. Would definitely recommend this place! Our server guided us through a great meal. Read more
