Had a table by the kitchen and the bathroom. The lights from the kitchen were right in my eyes, while people behind me were constant going to restrooms. Love this restaurant, but they should do away with this table for what we spent on our meal. Excellent food and service.
The food was amazing. My son had the duck, it was tender and full of flavor.
First time visit. Service by Michael was excellent. Food was good. Tables were a tad small for the 4 of us. The vibe of the place was very neat.
The food was very good. The service left a lot to be desired. Looking around there are several areas that need addressed to include ventilation along with indications of leakage in the ceiling.
The grilled lamb sirloin was charred way too much it overtook the taste of the actual sirloin itself.
Service good very attentive! Food was delicious. I will take customer there again
It’s a great place to take your loved one for a night out. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I would definitely recommend to a friend.
Everything from the food to the service was wonderful! We will definitely be back!
Pre Post Malone concert dinner and it was amazing
The food was excellent. The restaurant has a good atmosphere. Our service was good considering they were very busy. We will be back.
We arrived 29 minutes before our reservation and asked if we could be seated. The Hostess seated us and we had plenty of time to pick her mind about the menu as we had never had small plates before.
Mary guided us through everything and we had a great experience.
Food was amazing!
We took our 6 and 9 year old daughters here before Aladdin at the Orpheum. My h
Grouper special was warm to room temperature. Cesar Salad was light on dressing. My daughters had the scallops and they seemed to enjoy them. Wedge salad was good.
Fantastic ... large group ... something for everyone!
A festive Mardi Gras dinner... for those of us who could not be in New Orleans!
Most delicious vegetarian entree I have eaten in Memphis and I’ve been trying to eat veg here for 28 years!
Flavorful, generous and NOT a mix of garnishes from other entrees (SO many restaurants in Memphis do this, as if we
can’t tell ....). Small dishes were also excellent as was swordfish and salmon entrees. Service was well timed and professional.
Only complaint was our table which was the worst situated in the house. Back of the room where a cold draft from the basement or outside door kept sweeping in and we had a great view of the drinks stand. Which they could “hide” those two areas a little better.
But we will be back!
The food was really good. I had the Red snapper special and it was so good! We we’re given biscuits which was a nice touch. Overall it was a good experience with good food. It was fairly loud on a Friday night but that’s expected.
Loved the ambiance and service. The Brie with blueberry compote was delicious. My wife really enjoyed her fried green tomatoes and the beef tenderloin I had was really good. Definitely would go back!
Fantastic food and wonderful friendly service. Will be going back ! And definitely recommend
Great dining experience! We will definitely be dining there again!
Great dinner and great staff! The food was amazing!
Great service and food
This was a first time for me. It was awesome,as well as the atmosphere,food,and service.
Family of 5, with varying tastes and desires. Visiting in town and wanted to try a local place. Good selection on menu and food was excellent. Good atmosphere
Service was great. Food was not as expected. Atmosphere was quiet but I could hear the conversation at the other table because we were so close to one another
Went there before a show at the Orpheum. Got us out and made the show in time. Food and service was very good!
Excellent meal!Highly recommend!
Wonderful menu- wonderful choices. Great food, great service!
The food was phenomenal, but we were there for 2.5 hours. Food and checks took forever.
Excellent! We were seated promptly and our server was pleasant and responsive. The menu options available provided a nice variety from which to choose. We went the tapas route and shared several items between two. The short rib was phenomenal and we asked for seconds on the biscuits - deLISH!!! Being from the DC area and looking for a nice lower key venue for a good cocktail and wine along with a nice menu, McEwen's definitely fit the bill. Of note, when we booked our reservation, only high-top tables were available in the bar area - don't let that deter you - McEwen's has a very pleasant vibe all around.
Overall the evening was ok. The issues where the complete lack of any type of personality to being overall rude and ignored by our server. From the minute we got there until left we did not feel welcome or a guest more of a way to make money. That is unfortunate as this is one of our favorite places. This was for my fathers 65th birthday and while he can’t out a ton when we do go out he always wants to go to McEwens. When making the reservations we mentioned that exact thing and while we were sure that it wasn’t going to be or needed to be anything large but even the waitress saying “oh I heard it was your birthday congratulations” or anything would have been nice. The server we had was quite possibly the most bland, unenthusiastic, lethargic, and uninterested server I have ever had. We told the hostess on our exit thank you of all things and we just got puzzled and odd looks. We are extremely displeased by the entire experience and while it wouldn’t have upset me as much my Father now is unsure if he ever wants to come back.
When I moved to downtown Memphis, the real estate agent said “you must eat at McEwen’s because it’s fabulous.” He was correct. Very attentive staff, nice ambiance, well balanced menu. Starters, entrees and desserts were perfect!
It was ok. I guess I expected more. Still good tho.
Excellent as always! I have never had a bad meal or experience at McEwen’s.
Great place. Food was good, service was good. Plenty to choose from on the menu. I had the goat cheese salad, mussels, and lobster risotto. They had a cool drink menu as well. Would highly recommend.
Always delivers with large or small groups - food is delicious
There was cold air coming in at our legs... it was wird but food and service great!
Disappointed in service. It was a dinner after a wedding. I had placed a comment under special needs that it was a wedding dinner. Expected a congrats to the wedding couple. No acknowledgment.
Very tasty and creative food preparation.
Food was great as usual! Love going here when we having a special occasion. Price points are great and the small plates are phenomenal
