From being seated at our table early, to the waiter and wait staff, the on pointe appetizers, food and sides, to the celebratory champagne for my wife’s birthday and desserts to die for, my family and I were treated to a first class, one of a kind dining experience. We are lucky to have The Capital Grille in our city.

I went for my birthday and Noah was my waiter. He was very nice and funny. I love that he was so attentive to our needs. The food was good and the restaurant was nice and clean. The Pineapple Castaway was very strong and fruity. I did have to send my steak back for a longer cook time. That was the only hang up. Overall, it was a great birthday experience. Also would like to say thank you to Me-me, she was assisting Noah. She was very nice as well.

Combine guests’ favorite recipes of 46 years as a revered Memphis dining establishment with extraordinary chef-created offerings, and you have the popular, award-winning Paulette’s Restaurant.

Paulette's superb food, professional service, and warm atmosphere are consistent and unsurpassed. Tender steaks, fresh fish, Sunday Brunch, hot popovers with strawberry butter, and amazing desserts have afforded the restaurant national fame. As one food critic put it, “Paulette’s is a Memphis institution and for a very good reason.”

Paulette’s is known as Memphis’ most charming and attractive restaurant with an unparalleled ambiance and the most appealing river setting. It blends beautifully into the scenic, much acclaimed, planned community of Harbor Town. It’s accessible by way of oak tree lined North Parkway, which continues past the Pyramid and over the Willis Bridge spanning the Wolf River Inlet.
