Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Midtown / Cooper

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.

We attended Curfew Memphis for their Cupid’s Curfew Galentine’s event, and it was an experience to remember! From the warm welcome by the staff to our attentive waitress (Emani) ensuring we had everything we needed, we’ll definitely be returning. Manager Gabrielle stopped by to check that everything was perfect, and host Keri set the tone with unmatched vibes. To top it all off, the event featured a talented violinist, Journey, whose performance added the perfect touch of elegance. An unforgettable night—we couldn’t have asked for more!

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!!

Esco was all that. Stopped in before the Memphis Tigers game and sure glad I did. The food & service was good. I will definitely be back !!!
