Erling Jensen The Restaurant

Excellent food and service!!! A Memphis constant fine dining experience!! None better !!

Easter!! Was lovely !!

Wonderful Easter Brunch! Excellent food and service. Erling Jensen even came by our table to make sure everything was good.

This was a wonderful night out over the Easter holiday. The food was exceptional and the service was great. I HIGHLY recommend this beautiful restaurant for any special occasion!

If you want a quiet, romantic setting wrapped up with excellent service and good food, then Erling Jensen is the place toIf choose. And we chose it for our anniversary.
Their menu has a good variety of wonderful choices to suit most any pallet. No choice is ordinary and I’m sure all are tasty.
Hubby chose the scallops and was delighted. I had the filet which was cooked to perfection and was quite tender. I only wish that the flavor of the meat had not been overpowered by fennel and the sauce that covered it and the mashed potatoes. It is one dish that I wish had been a bit more ordinary. I missed the flavor of the filet!
Rachel did a top notch job taking care of us even though she forgot my husband’s coffee when she brought the dessert. But, our chocolate soufflé made us forget everything! OMG! It was so good.
And it was served on a special dish that had Happy Anniversary written in chocolate! What a lovely way to end our evening.

Erlings as always provides wonderful food and great personal service

The Sunday night 3 course dinning experience makes for an exceptional evening out. No corkage allows for a great value in the amazing meal. We have booked the next two months !

Everything was perfect as usual. A vegetarian guest’s order was exactly what was needed.

It had been quite some time since I dined at Erling Jensen and I regret not going sooner. My wife and I selected Erling Jensen to celebrate our 30 year anniversary and I cannot praise the restaurant enough. The food was fantastic. I had the antelope tenderloin and it was truly spectacular. My wife tried the elk chop and my only regret is she was not able to finish the dish as the serving was truly generous but I also had no room. I hated to waste such a spectacular piece of meat. Service was as I remembered; absolutely first rate. Wine selection and service world class. I cannot speak highly enough of the experience and will definitely dine there again sooner rather than later.

Very noisy! Small restaurant so if other tables are noisy then it spills over. Dodd was ok.

Great service & food.

Went for 20th Wedding Anniversary. I hade the Antelope special with mashed sweet potatoes-Excellent, and my wife had the scallops which she loved. Service was excellent and very prompt. Server even presented us with a few personal extra meal touches because is was our anniversary. Its nice to see that this mediocre city still has a TOP notch restaurant with excellent food and service. Bravo Erling Jensen.

Best restaurant in Memphis an one of the top in Tennessee.

Our favorite chef and Restaurant in Memphis! Consistency in preparation and quality is not surpassed in this fair city.

We enjoyed the Friday wine dinner. As always, each course showcases the skill of Chef Jensen and his team. The quality of ingredients and the execution of each detail results in a feast for your senses and palate. Excellent wines paired with each course and great service make for a most enjoyable culinary experience!

The food was amazing. The fish was cooked perfectly. Salad was fresh and delicious and the deserts were fantastic.

Fantastic food--Special Sunday menu--great service, and a secluded table, as requested, so we could visit with our dinner guests. Great experience, as always.

Had Sunday dinner for four and each person was very pleased with the meal. The Sunday fixed price special dinner menu is excellent and offers many options. In addition, you can order from the regular menu. Service was quite attentive and the server recognized our anniversary and birthday celebration. The room was a bit loud, but I think that was due to a table of guests who were having a LOT of fun. Good wine choices. Great restaurant.

The Dover Sole was exquisite but I will order extra Maunier sauce next time. The service was perfect. Our server, Ayana (Russian), was amazing! I can’t believe I just discovered this gem in Memphis. Will be back! 4/5.

The backroom is not a desirable dining location. On this particular evening there was a large and very loud group in this small room which diminishes the fine dining experience. As a frequent customer and fan, this particular evening was disappointing.

The food and service are always impeccable. One of the people in our party dumped a glass of wine on the person across from him, and we have not been banned, as far as I know.

We had a great experience at Erling Jensen. My wife and I were celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary and I wanted it to be special. They did not disappoint. We had an early reservation, so we had a private dining experience for the first hour which was nice. I had the antelope which was prepared perfectly rare. Service was prompt but not rushed. I would definitely return.

The food was very good. But this would not be my first recommendation for a high-end dinner in Memphis. The waitress seemed a bit stressed at times. I gave her a good tip because I honestly felt bad for her. She seemed to be a bit forceful when recommending the “Friday menu”. She also seemed so rushed that she walked away from our table a few times when we were in the middle of asking a question, trying to order something, or making a comment. There are too many excellent places for dinner to spend this money on trying this again. Kudos to the chef though, the food was delicious.

My wife and I just discovered Erling Jensen’s, and what a treasure! We had dinner last night on our way back home from Gulf Shores, Alabama. The food preparation and presentation were outstanding. The fact that the chef and owner, Erling Jensen, stopped by at our table was an added plus. The ambiance was upbeat and lively. And our waitstaff person, Satoko, was attentive without making us feel like she was hovering over us. Thanks, Chef Jensen, for the outstanding experience! We plan on dining here each year on way down to Gulf Shores and back. - Northern Indiana Snowbirds

Another wonderful dinner

Great atmosphere. Awesome food and spectacular dessert. Highly recommend this!

One of the best restaurants in Memphis! I highly recommend Erling Jensen The Restaurant!

As always excellent. Large portions so go hungry!

This incredible restaurant is our go to place for special occasions. The service is incredible and is only surpassed by the food. You can’t make a bad choice here!

The dinner at Erling Jensen was an Anniversary for my wife and I and it truly was special. The ambience was perfect, the service excellent and every dish is a work of art. They have some unique specials and IMO far superior to your typical high end steak restaurant in Memphis. Yes it is expensive, but for a special occasion its absolutely worth it. In my wife's opinion the absolute best Rack of Lamb in town. I had the Elk special and it was superb. Don't let the outside fool you. It's a house that has been tastefully renovated to provide the perfect experience. Yes, they do have steak if you are so inclined. This place has consistently great reviews … one trip and you'll know why. My only complaint is why I waited so long to go there again !

great food and service. Love it every time and would recommend to anyone

Loved it! Waitress was great!

Retirement Party

As always, the food and Service was great. One of our favorite places. Erling was in the the house but no visit to our table. Thus the overall 4 stars. Table next to us ordered Antelope. I wish i knew it was available. Otherwise, we were excited about the experience. Weekday with minimal traffic. Thumbs upppp!

Beautiful evening with the best meal and wine in Memphis!

I had the red snapper with sun flower seed risotto! It was excellent!

Excellent service
Excellent Food
Love Erling ... Great Chef

As very disappointed in the Valentine’s menu. No where on the website did they indicate that they had a special menu for Valentine’s Day. My date could not eat the soup because of an allergy. So instead of the menu we saw online we were forced to order from a special menu for Valentine’s. Overpriced and under cooked

Excellent professional chief prepared food exe Ellelkent

The food was a joke. It wasn't good and the servers kept bringing the wrong plates to everyone in the room which is a disturbance and annoying.
