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.

I’ve been meaning to try this restaurant for awhile since I’ve been to The Memphian several times for Tiger and Peacock. The atmosphere is very nice, service was outstanding and the food was great.

Food was pretty great, but service was sooo slow. We were there for over 30 minutes before receiving our cocktails that were ordered when we were first sat. The drinks came out with our before dinner salads. Not sure if they were understaffed or what, but everything seemed to take forever. It really clouded the overall experience unfortunately.

The service was top-tier some of the best I've ever had. The food was decent; the steak was pretty good, and the fries surprised me they paired well with the steak. The sauce for the steak was also a nice touch. If you enjoy dining solo, this place is definitely worth a visit

Took my mom for lunch and had a great time. Very clean and modern with views of the outside and some Memphis art to enjoy. My mom loved the salmon and I had a good ol burger - all wonderful. Great service and will be back.

Food was very salty. The octopus dish was so over salted that the palate was burned for other dishes.
