"Our reservation was at 7:15, and we ordered everything by 7:30. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine, which I must point out that the server up-sold us. However, when our appetizers had not arrived by 8:45, we were a bit perturbed. The appetizers finally arrived and were the same awesome food that we love at this place. The salad course followed soon thereafter. However, our entrees were not on the table by 9:45. When we inuired about this, we were told that they were "almost up." After another 10 minutes passed without any food and any further word from the staff, we simply tracked down a server and cancelled our entrees. Two and a half hours after our reservation is too long to wait for food."

"What a great surprise! A varried and interesting menu, everything we tried was excellent. The restaurant, once a house has many rooms with only a few tables in each. You can actually carry on a conversation! I will definitely be back."

"You'd be hard pressed to find a better restaurant in Memphis. The food is always excellent, the service is impressive, and if you are celebrating a special occasion they will personalize your experience. If you've never been to EJs, do yourself a favor and book a reservation today. Love this place."

"Exceptional is the best word for this place. When they called to confirm our reservations, they asked what our special event was all about so that they would have a dessert for us. I know my husband's favorite dessert is bread pudding, she said that it is not on their menu. I said ok. The. She said, never-mind, we will see you tonight. What an awesome surprise when the chef made it just for us!!Awesome night there."

"My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary at Erling's. We enjoyed the entire evening. However, we particularly enjoyed our appetizers. We had the crab with hollandaise - simple and outstanding. And the sashmi tuna with cucumber ribbons - terrific.
The Grand Marnier souffle is not to be missed.
We both had fish dishes for dinner. They were both very good, but, neither were very memorable.
All and all, a wonderful dining experience."

"I always love finding great little specialty restaurants. This one was a wonderful find. Everything was great. The restaurant is in a little older house; the atmosphere was warm and friendly. While it was a high end restaurant, it was not "snooty" at all. I throughly enjoyed the evening and will be returning in the future. I would certainly recommend it to friends."

"I have always been a fan of Erling Jensen's and touted it as Memphis' best dining experience. It has been consistently good and always exceeded expectatiion. This last time however I found it lacking and the entree less than memorable. My dining partner concurs. It was not the usual 5 star experience and I left disappointed."

"I've been to Erling Jensen many times and it's always been superb....until this time. It is still a cut above other Memphis restaurants but was below the standard I've grown accustomed to there. The lobster pancake appetizer was bland. The veal chop was a little undercooked as well as the chocolate souffle dessert. The service (as always) is outstanding, but I'm not keen over the new dress code for the staff. I thought it looked more professional when the servers wore the black/white attire and only the sommelier had a suit on."
