Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Midtown / Cooper

My husband and I went here for the first time! Absolutely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The concept is amazing, especially if there’s several wonderful choices that are hard to choose between. We shared a beef Wellington appetizer that was so good! Then for entree My husband and I both got the steak flight, which included a wagyu strip, a Boursin stuffed filet and elk tenderloin. We also split a small plate of wild boar. Everything was amazing but the wagyu with zucchini and chimichurri sauce was PHENOMENAL! Then a flight of key lime pie, crème brûlée and a blueberry streusel. Probably some of the best key lime I’ve ever had! Luke was our server and he did a fantastic job at making sure we understood everything and that everything was tasting good. We will definitely be back! Our new favorite independent restaurant in Memphis

We made reservations for Valentines Day several weeks in advance and were surprised there was a special menu! Although We were a little disappointed we couldn’t get some of our favorite dishes, the menu was excellent and the dishes were creative. We started with appetizers, the crudo and the shrimp. The crudo was great, although something on the plate brought the HEAT! The shrimp were well seasoned and the broth was scrumptious and did not go to waste. For entrees we had the ribeye and the triple tail. The ribeye was a generous portion, Perfectly cooked. The potato cakes were crisp, and the mushrooms added a nice textural contrast. The triple tail portion was a little small, but the accompanying salad and beet puree were very filling. Finally for dessert I had the strawberry cakes. The cake was nice and light, but that icing was decadent! The winner of the night was the waffle. I hope that becomes a regular addition the to the menu. Our server Lee was wonderful. We were also happy to have even seated in a booth, giving us a little more of a private dining experience. Thanks for a great night!

My experience was overall good. Parking was right across the street. I was able to scan the QR code on the light pole and pay by phone because the line was a little long and the temperature was cool. I remember parking used to be validated-I forgot to ask. Reservation was at 5:15 pm and was seated promptly. The entire staff was warm and welcoming from the hosts, management, wait staff and gauchos. 10 out of 10. Will return and have returned for years.

Ja was our waiter and he was so kind and very attentive. It was Valentine’s Day and Char was busy, but we never felt neglected. The crab cakes were amazing as always… my steak entree was perfectly cooked. My husband’s duck was a little more rare than he wanted but we were pleased nonetheless. We will be back!

Let me first start off by saying, I do not typically write reviews, if I enjoy the food/service at a restaurant, I return and dine repeatedly. But if I don’t like a restaurant, I simply don’t return and I tell all of my friends about poor service/food. I had an outstanding meal at McEwens last night. I was greeted by the owner, who was extremely warm and friendly. I sat at the bar, I enjoyed the yummy oyster appetizer and the out-of-this world Creole Ossobuco. I watched several meals come out of the kitchen, everything looked delicious. If you find yourself in Memphis, McEwen’s on Monroe is an absolute must. The next time I’m Memphis, I will certainly be back there for another great meal. Did I mention, the food was amazing but wasn’t overpriced. Cheers!!
