Diner Reviews
  • "Not what it advertices. Food all right, but NOTHING extraordinary. Service had a lot to be desired off for the "quality" of the restaurant."
    Dined on 7/17/2014
  • "We were excited to dine at this restaurant, which sounded like a great food experience. Our actual experience was extremely disappointing. The lobster, shrimp, and mussels were all undercooked, and the dishes which included them were overcomplicated. The menu overall was precious and pretentious. Despite the fact that neither of us really ate much of the food, no one inquired why. The only good things were an excellent wine list and a knowledgeable and helpful sommelier."

  • "Truly a remarkable dining experience...the food was excellent and the presentation was beautiful. Service was impeccable and ambience second to none. Would recommend to anyone who loves fine dining."
    Dined on 6/20/2014
  • "Had everything going for it except for the wine and bar beverage pricing. Food was very good but too many flavors combined in each item (especially the Bison) -- creative and inspired but not always hitting the mark. French Onion Soup: great, Desserts: unique. Service, food quality, presentation, and atmosphere were excellent. Not for those on a budget but probably the nicest place in town for a romantic special occasion. Can't beat the beautiful Peabody Hotel as a back drop and the attentive service!"

  • "Spectacular room, superb food and excellent service. We were on a two week road trip stopping in 8 cities seeking put top restaurants, this was by far the best! "
    Dined on 5/17/2014
  • "Strip steak was tough very Dover sole too salty and a bit cold when presented Crab and barley appetizer excellent Arugala salad very good"
    Dined on 5/3/2014
  • "The chef at Chez Philippe has put together a fantastic menu! Wine list is extensive and the wine pairings are great!"
    Dined on 5/2/2014
  • " The meal presentation was beautifully executed and accompanied by food that was off the chart delicious. Every bite will make you hum. And, it doesn't stop there, the service was exceptional."

  • "We went there for our anniversary. It was phenomenal! "
    Dined on 4/16/2014
  • "I had a five course pairing and my date had the seven course wine pairing. Everything was completely amazing!! Gorgeous restaurant and perfect those with high standards in food and wine! Loved it!"
    Dined on 3/28/2014
  • "Ambience: rococo. Drink: I asked for a Pernod before dinner. I understand that not everyone is familiar with pastis aperitifs, but it's a $200 per person FRENCH-THEMED (Chez Philippe!) restaurant. The waiter hadn't heard of it. Food: Five-course meal. My wife's two main courses were terrible (old fish--ick!), although the glazed walnuts in her starter salad were good. I ordered duck and venison (to go with our wine plan). They brought the venison BEFORE the duck?! I'm not trying to be high maintenance, but fowl before meat is not a SECRET rule in chef's school. People plan wines to go lighter to darker, like their meat. No apology; the only explanation was "you both ordered duck". Total cost: $650.00 for 2. Never again."
    Dined on 3/22/2014
  • "Many of the dishes felt cold as if they came out of the refrigerator. Ordered filet mignon & sun-dried tomatoes, it came with no sun-dried tomatoes. When you order medium and the chef recommends medium rare, stick with medium their medium rare is rare. Chilean Seabass and Hemp was really good. Pheasant was delightful and the wine pairing was magnificent. The experience of a five course meal with wine pairing was fun. Salt and pepper was needed. Beautiful decor & ambiance, nice, friendly staff. Soufflé tasted like French toast. Peppermint marshmallow was weird and not in a good way. Overall was a good celebration of our wedding anniversary. Best part was using a gift card we got for a bonus and not having to foot the bill. Very expensive."
    Dined on 3/8/2014
  • "The only thing that excelled our high tea at the Peabody was the exceptional experience of dining there at night. It was simply one of the best meals I have ever had!"
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "I love this place. It's uppity and stuffy, but that is exactly what I was looking for - to be catered to. Our waiter was great and my favorite is the choreographed plate placement, so nice. Seriously, the food is amazing and dramatic. It's pricey but no more than the other high end restaurants in town. Thank you Chez Phillipe for a great date night with my hubby!"
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Chez Philippe has an elegant dining room which was quiet and comfortable. The soft lighting created the perfect ambience for our dinner. Our entrees were served by a professional wait staff who were informed about the prepared dishes. They also shared interesting facts about the history of the restaurant and hotel . The food was visually and aromatically stimulating, not to mention delicious! Along with the offered wine pairing for each entrée including dessert, the meal left my husband and myself very satisfied. The martinis are also great!"
    Dined on 2/20/2014
  • "We made our reservations weeks in advance. We confirmed our reservation the day before when we received a phone call from the restaurant. When we arrived at Chez Philippe we were not on the reservation list! However we were seated and had a good experience. It was quite disturbing to not have our reservation though."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "My wife, Melinda, and I spent a wonderful weekend in Memphis to see Wicked, and enjoy The Peabody. We had dined at Chez Philippe several years ago, and wanted to return. We were very happy we did; the entire experience was wonderful. The service was attentive, yet subtle. The food was amazing! And the Chef even came to the table later in the meal to see how we were, and if we had any suggestions. Overall, we felt like the entire evening was great!! We highly recommend Chez Philippe as a MUST DINE when in Memphis!!"
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "I saw 2 menus online because I have to find special items that my wife would eat. One menu had several items however upon arrival that was not the case. Only one menu was presented and my wife was very disappointed that I chose that particular dining establishment. Needless to say she ate very little."
    Dined on 1/3/2014
  • "The meal was fabulous! Awesome staff. Definitely will come back to visit soon. This place made our anniversary a special event."
    Dined on 12/28/2013
  • "World class and the finest restaraunt in the south"
    Dined on 12/27/2013
  • "The entree needed more seasoning. Wanted salt but has anyone ever seen a salt and pepper shaker in a gourmet restaurant? How insulted would the Chef be if we'd asked for salt?"
    Dined on 12/20/2013
  • "We decided to try Chez Philippe for a special birthday and had the most wonderful experience ever. The food, the service and the entire experience was the perfect setting for a romantic celebratory dinner. We have definitely decided to make this an annual occasion."
    Dined on 12/18/2013
  • "We really enjoyed our evening and found the food to be incredible. Very different menu."
    Dined on 12/12/2013
  • "Excellent dinner with a veritable bounty of holiday favorites prepared with a Classic French touch. This is a far cry from the usual holiday menu. We will make our 2014 reservations,"
    Dined on 11/28/2013
  • "We visited during Downtown Dining and I was very impressed at the attention given to the food and service at this introductory price. The food was expertly prepared and presented and the service was excellent in a quiet, elegant atmosphere. I visited two other "fine" restaurants during Downtown Dining week and the quality of food was not as good as expected. That was not true at Chez Phillip - it was an excellent experience that exceeded my expectations and fellow diners agreed. We especially enjoyed the rich wine sauce and the beautiful vegetables cooked perfectly."
    Dined on 11/23/2013
  • "We came here for downtown dining week and were not impressed. While the entrecôte that we ordered was very good, the butternut squash soup was just alright, and the dessert was about as tasty as cardboard. Yes, it was a special $20 menu, and together with a bottle of wine, we spent a fraction of what dinner usually costs there. But for almost $100 I still expect to have better service than a Denny's. Our waiter stopped at our table a grand total of 3 times. I spent dinner sawing through my steak with a butter knife because our waiter wasn't around to ask for a steak knife. And gratuity was added on to our check for our table of 2. There are much better places in Memphis to spend your money if you are looking for great food and service."
    Dined on 11/23/2013
  • "I realize Downtown Dining Week is a mad rush for all the downtown Memphis restaurants and I'm sure making a $20.13 meal while still maintaining their normal standards is difficult, but I was not disappointed by Chez Philippe. It was everything I had hoped it would be and I look forward to visiting again."
    Dined on 11/23/2013
  • "Everything is special at Chez Phillipe. The atmosphere and decor are beautiful and result in a relaxed dining experience. The entire staff is attentive and the food is outstanding. This was my first dining experience at Chez Phillipe but will definitely not be the last"
    Dined on 11/22/2013
  • "I have been to Chez Philippe before and the food for downtown dining wasn't good. Last year we went and it was excellent. This year it wasn't good at all."
    Dined on 11/20/2013
  • "Excellent experience all around. Look forward to coming back."
    Dined on 11/20/2013
  • "Every time I ever visited Chez Phillipe, it's not just because of the food, but the experience. I enjoy myself every time and I wish I could dine there more often."
    Dined on 11/20/2013
  • "A full house at 5pm, Chez Phillipe was busy and animated. The service was as attentive as could be, and serving was quick and efficient. The butternut squash soup was good, if unexceptional, and the breads were freshly baked and warm. My wife's seafood kabocha croquette was OK, while the barley risotto was sparse and lightly flavored. My entrecote steak was medium rare and well seasoned, while the glazed root vegetables were delicious. We both had wine with the meal, my wife's Vouvray being excellent and my Bordeaux was good. The desserts of opera cake and hazelnut ice cream were both good, the opera cake being particularly outstanding. The French press coffee was excellent."
    Dined on 11/19/2013
  • "This has long been a favorite of ours and it remains the best! Wonderful wine selections, beautiful settings and the food is unsurpassed."
    Dined on 11/15/2013
  • "Chez Philippe was an excellent choice to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The ambiance, the staff and the food were all outstanding. The chef's wine pairings for each of the courses were perfect. We will definitely return the next time we are in Memphis."
    Dined on 11/2/2013
  • "We splurged with the Pairing dinners and felt it was worth the extra cost. The courses were well presented, high quality, varied, significant quantity, pretty, and paired very nicely with good wines. The staff was very professional and accommodating."
    Dined on 10/26/2013
  • "The place is quiet & romantic with exceptional service and an extensive wine list. That's the good parts. The food is just so-so with very expensive prices and tiny portions. We don't mind dropping $200.00 - $300.00 for dinner if it's great tasting and filling (almost sounds like an old beer commercial, doesn't it? This restaurant was neither. While we won't go back again, it was a nice place to visit. There's two or three other restaurants in Memphis in this price range that are better."
    Dined on 10/26/2013
  • "I'm the type of person that starts to get fidgety and edgy when I sit in one place for too long - even on special occasions; but by the time we were done nearly three hours had gone by and I hadn't even noticed. All I could think about was how incredible the food was!"
