My husband and I attended this restaurant last night for our anniversary. The written and verbal reviews on this restaurant had us prepared for an amazing meal. Unfortunately, this was anything but. We ordered the 5 course chefs pick. We did not know much about the menu, and the server told us that this would be our best option for the full experience. We received the starter rather quickly (cheese soufflés) which was delicious. Everything after that went downhill. We waited entirely too long between courses. Each time the next course arrived, it was cold. By the time we had been there for almost TWO HOURS, we had just received our third course which was the pasta dish. These were also cold and mushy. Finally, after being there over 2 hours, and not seeing our server much at all, we asked for the last 2 courses to go. We were full, tired, and unimpressed. An almost 170 dollar bill later, and I am pretty angry at the poor service and poor food quality. Obviously, this place usually gives an experience or there would not be so many write ups, but I guess we unfortunately attended on a bad night where people were not on their game...... For 170 dollars, I should wowed. Very disappointed, and will not be returning or recommending.

We visited Andrew Michaels for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. What an awesome experience! We decided to the Chef Tasting, where the Chef chooses each course for us and we are unaware of what dish will be next. Very interesting waiting to see what is next and trying to guess based on the utensils that they set for each up coming dish. A Chef tasting exclusive is a special handmade ravioli dish that was absolutely amazing! Shawn, was our primary waitperson, but the whole team of waitstaff attended to our needs through out the evening. At some point I believe every waitperson had visited our table to describe a dish, place utensils, replace a dropped napkin. None of the attention was intrusive and everyone was extremely pleasant and professional. Shawn was truly an awesome waiter and made sure our every need was attended too. Without a doubt one of the best dining experiences ever and we have been to some very exclusive restaurants in our 25 years. We will be back!

My fiancée and I had an excellent meal at Andrew Michael. The ambience of the restaurant couldnt be more inviting: it is dimly lit and you really feel like youre in someones house. Our server was excellent; he was extremely knowledgable of the menu and we never felt unattended to. We ordered cocktails to start, and both loved them. For our starter, we went with the AM Breakfast; that poached agh with polenta was incredible. I then had the gemelli while my fiancée had the gnocchi; neither of us was disappointed. For our main courses, I got the Newman Farm Pork, which was osso bucco; it was rich and delicious. My date got the Wreckfish, which was as tasty as our server promised it would be. I love everything these chefs do!

Delightfully fresh authentic italian fare. Warm and inviting ambiance, especially like the artwork that was displayed throughout the restaurant (we got to meet the owners Aunt Rena, the artist). Our waitress Vicki was friendly with a southern charm and very knowledgeable and enthusiastic on the menu. Loved the fact that they use local, fresh ingredients. We had the cheese plate, gnocchi which was prepared to perfection, and the grouper which had an excellent sauce, but was slightly underdone. We finished with a cannoli which was very authentic italian. Very pleasant evening all around. Highly recommend it to anyone.

While waiting to be seated we had drinks in the bar area. The bartenders were engaging and prepared great beverages. Once seated in the dining area the server was patient, informative, and attentive. We chose the 5 course Chefs Choice and the selections were exquisite! It was our last night in Memphis and we escaped friends and relatives to have a quiet dinner for two. We frequent Hog n Homney when we are in town but, for some unknown reason, have put off dining across the street. Our experience more than made up for our previous reluctance. Be prepared to spend a little more but you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

Excellent food and drinks. If you get the 5 course tasting meal, dont expect to get full. The first 4 portion sizes were very small. Dessert was large compared to the other four courses. The wine pairing was excellent and was a heavy amount of wine. You will leave drunk with the small food portions and Large wine portions.

one of the best in town - consistent, interesting dishes, fresh (their own garden) and delicious recipes - foie gras to die for - many other interesting dishes, good wine selection - nice atmosphere in a renovated house - among the best in town!

Quiet possibly one of the best meals I have ever had. I was only in memphis for one night but I am thankful my friends there took me here. Everything was 5 stars: the service, atmosphere, and definitely the food. If you can go(pricy), do it!

This is the place that I tell everyone to go when they are looking for a great restaurant. A bit pricey, but if you can afford it, worth every penny. Every bite is so juicy and flavorful!!! Love it

I guess my taste just doesnt agree with whatever they can cook. I found that this place offer not much in term of taste. For the price, this place will never see me again.
