Customer Reviews

Ate dinner on a Monday evening in December while traveling for work. I arrived at opening time and I was the first customer. Albert was my server, and he had great menu recommendations. I had the spinach artichoke dip and the salmon Bruno. This was the best salmon dish I have ever had! I will definitely be returning on my next visit!!

One of the best restaurants during my time down in Memphis. Shelby was a fantastic waitress, very attentive and personable. Food was amazing, I will certainly be back while in Memphis. Update, I now eat here every time I am in Memphis and never disappointed. The Elfo Special is amazing!

Might have been the best steak I have had at a restaurant in many years! The Old Fashioned wasn't bad either. Service was friendly & fast. Great bar and TV's that had football front & center. What else could you ask for?! It's funny this place is in the Embassy Suites, but do not underestimate Grisanti's!!

The halibut special was delicious and the service from Tamara was great. We also thoroughly enjoyed dessert. They have a small patio for outdoor seating, which we did not utilize.
