A word from Memphis At The Santora
Impressed with the success and community impact of the original Memphis Café in Costa Mesa, the City of Santa Ana approached The Memphis Group in 2000 to open a location in the heart of Santa Ana's historic downtown. As part of a redevelopment project in the Artists Village district, the city asked The Memphis Group to adapt a portion of the once-legendary Santora Building into a restaurant by adding its signature, revitalizing touch.

Opened in 2002, Memphis at the Santora blends traditional Southern and contemporary American classics into flavorful renditions of American comfort food. With a larger kitchen than its sister, Memphis Café in Costa Mesa, the restaurant's menu covers a wider range of Southern specialties, including buttermilk fried chicken, and a garlic-marinated and grilled center-cut pork chop. drizzled with a balsamic dried-cherry reduction.

On the registrar of historic landmarks and perhaps the most beautiful edifice in downtown Santa Ana, the 1929 Santora.Continued
