    We were so surprised how good the food was! We walked into the hotel and were taken aback by how modern and classy it was! The host was magnificent and accommodating. We were seated and immediately taken care of by Kevin. Every course was amazing! I do not like beets but I devoured their beet salad. There were four of us and no one complained about anything! It was the best Thanksgiving it could have been. We would definitely recommend the hotel and Complicated Pilgrim to anyone and everyone! Stellar professionalism as soon as we walked in the door.

    Worth every penny! The three course meal is fantastic and the service is excellent. The day before the restaurant will call to confirm your reservation and also get allergen information. This restaurant is fantastic with allergies!! They will make sure everyone can eat. The food is fantastic and will fill you up. Our server, Courtney, was attentive and super friendly. When she found out we had a seafood allergy she went to the chef to have additional sandwiches made for our party. Everyone that works there is friendly and attentive. We never felt rushed and were able to enjoy our time during the service. Highly recommended!!

    Flight is a must when visiting Memphis. Have you ever gone to a restaurant and couldn’t decide between two or three dishes..well this is your place. You don’t have to decide…just pick a flight of seafood, fish or game..flights of appetizers, desserts and of course wine. Great service and the food is terrific!

    We had a wonderful experience. Our server was excellent. She was very friendly and attentive. She made excellent suggestions. Our meal was awesome. The filet was cooked perfectly. The shrimp and grits were excellent. The Cajun pasta was flavorful and delicious. The Cajun shrimp with Abita beer bread was incredible. We finished up with bread pudding and creme brulee. Both were very good. Highly recommend this restaurant.
