   **NOT ADA COMPLIANT** This restaurant recently changed their parking policy. They no longer allow their guests to park in the hotel lot in which they are located. They now require their handicapped guests to pay $20+ to park in a handicapped space or “walk” across Overton Square from the public garage, and there’s no valet option. This is shameful greed and honestly not worth the effort for a mediocre dining experience. If you’re trying to use OpenTable to get a reservation here, be advised that they falsely pad the availability. The restaurant is empty even when it says there’s one reservation available.

   Complicated Pilgrim is a great choice if you are headed to the theater or other event in midtown. The food was excellent and the service was great.

   Had to wait for host to come for quite a bit, but he was friendly once he came. Service was friendly and good. Atmosphere was good. Food was good, I would recommend adding a little more grits to Shrimp and grits. Salad was good serving. Bucatini egg, slightly over cooked. Overall still better than what I expected after reading previous reviews. I would return.

   Food portions were small, not overall the best. We had salmon and tuna, and they were not amazing for the price. The drinks were great and setting interesting to look at. Would come again for the bar.

   The hotel is a bit confusing. We were hoping to go to the roof top for a drink and then have a nice dinner. However you have to have a reservation for the roof top and spend a minimum of $25 per person. If we did that we would be too full for our dinner reservation. The food was decent but for the price we weren’t blown away. Would have been nice to enjoy the roof top and dinner but u really can’t do both.

    Wonderful experience. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the server brought out the main course while I was still eating my salad. The plates are huge, and the 2 person table was small. Not indicative a fine dining, maybe a training issue. Food was delicious, Shrimp and Grits best I’ve tasted. Would have been nice to have an additional piece of ahi tuna, for the price.

    Food was not what I expected for an upscale hotel. Shrimp undercooked. Too salty. Servers are nice but have no idea what to do with refilling water on the table and wine refills. Management needs to do a bit of training.

    We had a wonderful experience!!! From the moment we entered the door, to our server, Kevin, to the delicious food, it was a lively celebration for my daughter’s birthday. The Kung Pao Brussels sprouts were so yummy and a huge portion to share. Bucatini and chicken and waffles-stellar! The manager’s pandora playlist was $$$🙌😉

    Our complete meal took over 2 hours even though they were not busy. Our appetizer plate and salad plates were not cleared before our entree was served. We left with every dish we ate from still on the table. The food was awful! It was a Mothers Day fixed menu the was $65 a person. After tip I had a $271 bill for 3 people and barely anything we were served has enjoyable. The atmosphere is awesome! That is the only thing they have going for them at this point! It’s a shame!

    A little different than expected…for fine dining, a main lobby, bright setting was unique. The restaurant was empty, but a large party sat right beside us - very strange. Drink delivery was very slow…server kept saying “drinks are being made” - also very strange. Food came quick, good, but small, high end menu - I would suggest not for everyone. It was good - but, not sure we will return…the hotel is beautiful and wish we had reserved time on rooftop bar - which I hear is incredible.

    We started with the Brussels Sprouts app and it had a little kick to it, which we loved. It was so good. Highly recommend. My daughter had the Caesar salad, huge and she ate every bite. She had the bucatini noodle dish with no egg and I believe the chef made it with an olive oil sauce not tomato and my teen loved it. The rest of us all had the salmon dish. There were no leftovers! Highly recommend. Service was great. We will for sure return. The decor of the hotel, lobby and restaurant is adorable. Really cool

    A fantastic birthday celebration at The Memphian! The evening started with an amazing view and cocktails at the rooftop top bar,Tiger and Peacock. We then went downstairs to a delicious dinner at Complicated Pilgrim. The meal started with the yummy Brussel sprouts mussels. Next, we shared the salmon which was excellent. The finale was two yummy desserts: their take on a funnel cake and a lemon tart. Great wines by the glass and outstanding service by Celia.

    Six adults for dinner. Slow service even though they were not busy. Drinks were decent. One of our dinners wasn’t put in by the waiter until after all of the other food was out. Ordered a medium rare filet and it came completely well done. It wasn’t eaten at all and when shown to the waiter, it wasn’t acknowledge, replace, apologized for or reimburse.

    Service sluggish, waiter fairly disinterested. They were not overly busy but requests frequently took more than one request. At least one diner's dish (out of four) was terribly over salted - likely would have been better it wasn't salted. Once out of the lobby or the rooftop bar, there is very little atmosphere. Unfortunately we will not be anxious to return.

    The ambiance is great, upscale and with class but very welcoming. Everyone was very nice and engaging, from the hostess to our waitress, smiling and friendly. The food was also well prepared and presented. The Brussels spouts appetizer was outstanding! We had a pasta dish that hit the spot, also the chicken dish was cooked perfectly. We ended our dinner with the funnel cake sundae and it lasted about 3 minutes! So good! We will definitely return!

    The website did not reflect the special brunch for Easter. We wanted to order from the breakfast menu and that is what the web site described. When we got there we were informed that was not an option, with 6 people we did not feel we could possibly eat $400 worth of food. Since we had children we stayed and paid the price but felt like we were mislead. The server did apologize and agreed the website was incorrect, but nothing more, The food was great and service was very nice. Just wish we could have ordered from the menu.

    Table for four was ready when we got there and our server and service was excellent. The food plating was great. It wasn’t just dropped on the plate. One easy way to tell if you’ve got experienced servers/service is by how they fill your water glass. If they touch your rim of your glass when filling, then they’re rookies (or maybe just sloppy). But Kevin was our server and he was perfect. The manager checked on us once (which was enough). We’ll definitely be going back.
