    We always enjoy The Beauty Shop, but last night was perfection! We split the grilled fruit, which was warm and delicious. Then we both enjoyed the Cod special--it was spectacular! All of this was paired with excellent service. The Beauty Shop is a Memphis gem!

    The atmosphere was upscale. I love the variety at the salad bar. The majority of the meats were very tender, we enjoyed the Portuguese sausage, bacon wrapped chicken, parmesan steak, and the flank steak. The offered sides were delicious I would have liked some sweet tea, being that we are in the south. The rolls lacked flavor and color and I'm not just saying because I'm a trained pastry chef. Overall the table enjoyed the restaurant. Thank you and your great servers.

    Food and service were great. Neat concept - serving food as a flight, as well as serving wines like that. The table was kinda small - we both had wine flights and dinner flights that took up a lot of room. Very noisy. Don’t plan on having conversations.
