"I can't believe this was my first visit to McEwen's after all these years. I'm not too mesmerized with the Downtown food scene. They come and go, but I know that McEwen's has shepherded the scene for the last decade.
I recommend ordering a variety of small plates in order to get the feel of Chef Keith's culinary blueprint. I started with the soup de jour, which was poblano and crab chowder- I wanted a few more bowls because that was out of this world. Then I had the appetizer portion of piccata-style scallops with grits and small plate saffron lobster risotto. The scallops were some the best I have ever eaten. They were buttery goodness with bold flavor. The lobster risotto was great, but I should have ordered a better wine pair."

"The food was excellent, but would not be my choice again for a romantic evening. It was very difficult to have a conversation without yelling at your partner. That is acceptable at the bar, but not for dinner."

"We were in town for the BMA's and heard alot about McEwen's. We weren't disappointed. My wife had the mushroom salad and I had the oysters as appetizers. The oysters were plump, not greasy and properly breaded. For a main course I had the Osso Buco, excellent. The missus had two appetizers as her main course, the pork tenderloins and the lobster risotto. She raved about both plates. The wine list is fairly priced. Excellent service."

"Menu has a nice variety of offerings as well as a vegetarian plate. Food was fantastic...presentation very nice. Only complaint I would have is that towards the evening our waitress seemed to get lost...forgot one of the guests desserts had to be reminded...Nice atmoshere; good for business dinner or anniversary/special occasion. Intimate setting, bar area separate from dining area, which I thought was very nice."

"McEwen's is on our list to visit again. My wife rarely eats steak which she opted for this night. This is this first time I have ever heard her comment how much she enjoyed her meal more than once and shared the experience with others. Her comment was not only on the Kobi Beef but on the unique seasoning. I felt the price was reasonable considering the meau included all the sides. Overall a great bet for an enjoyable experience that will not break the bank. Our service was very good."

"Food was really good. I was a little disappointed that at the portion of the Shrimp and Grits. But I do understand it was not an Entree. The services was excellent."

"I visit Memphis periodically for business and always make McEwen's a priority for dinner. I've never been disappointed. Great service, good wines and interesting specials on top of their wonderfully varied standard fare."

"We ate in the wine cellar, service suffered slightly but food was excellent and very quiet. Upstairs was busy and very vibrant, even on a Monday."

"Had the fried oysters, crab bisque, red fish, and pork osso buco. A competent preparation of these fundamentally tasty foods would have been fine. But each had an element of uniqueness that made this introduction to Mcewens a memorable experience that we hope to have again soon. And the biscuits, served as bread for the table, reminded me of my dear mother's. One would expect the atmosphere and service to be much more sirene and subtly attentive. So I would recommend for a night out on the town but not for a romantic occasion."
