Our overall experience was wonderful. We’ve been before, and while some things have changed (food items and cocktails) our even was amazing. Reese was the perfect server, giving us suggestions when we were hesitant but also giving us time to decide. I would request him every time.

We enjoy dining at Napa Cafe for special occasions and particularly love seeing what’s new on the menu. Last night we brought two out of town guests who live near the coast and have seafood regularly in their home towns. Because of our guests, we were disappointed that the new menu featured too many seafood items. Don’t get me wrong, we enjoyed our dinner, but some of us didn’t want seafood. All of the apps were seafood except one, and most were shellfish, which we couldn’t eat due to an allergy. We also felt like the new entrees didn’t include enough non seafood options, and no one wants beef ragout when it’s 90 degrees outside. PS Jan always does a great job!

About the restaurant

Aptly named for its locale, Southern Social nestles up to the old Southern Railway’s historic Germantown Depot and sits adjacent to Southern Avenue.

Owners of downtown Memphis’ Flight Restaurant and Wine Bar have opened Southern Social. The top tier fine dining restaurant will reflect the high standards established at Flight.

The restaurant features a chef-inspired menu, offering fresh seafood and prime steaks. Southern Social brings exceptional specialty cocktails and Flight’s award-winning wine selections.

This is by far one of my favorite restaurants in the area. The service is hands down better than anywhere you could go. The food is good. They had a crepe special appetizer this time that was out of this world!

What an incredible evening. David our server started off the night with a great knowledge of the menu and wine and cocktail menu. Our party of four enjoyed their meals and the ambiance of the restaurant. I had the Neiman Ranch Pork Chop with Brussels Sprouts which was delicious. I highly recommend Porch and Parlor for any occasion you might have a need for an excellent dining experience.

Fun evening at the Cafe. Food was good but not great. Steaks cooked as ordered. Expected a braised lamb shank with Mediterranean seasoning when ordering the shank. Sauce seemed a bit heavy. Salmon was good but not great. Lovely atmosphere.
