    Amazing experience, food was fabulous. The crab dip and shrimp & grits were both recommended and the dishes were fantastic. Best we’ve had in the south so far. The live music was a lovely addition to our evening! Highly recommend.

    When I noticed that the River Terrace had re-opened, I was excited to try it when I was going to be in Memphis for Christmas. I was thrilled that I could get a table on Dec 26, to celebrate my 60th birthday. The last time I dined at the restaurant was in December of 1999, for New Year's Eve. Prior, I was part of the original staff that opened the restaurant in 1982. It was great to see the place re-modeled, re-furbished, and thriving. The view is among the very best in the city. The food was excellent. I had the Blacked Catfish...WOW! The service was very good. I had a nice conversation with the manager and shared a few memories about the old place. I highly recommend Mahagony River Terrace.

    All the servers and bartenders and managers were fantastic. The restaurant and entire street corner experienced a bit of electricity issues and there were no hiccups at all. A great Christmas Eve dinner! Thank you for being open!
