“ We stopped here for brunch on a Sunday leaving Memphis. We did not stay at the Memphian, but had no trouble getting in. We were seated very quickly even without a reservation (they were not very crowded when we got there). I do recommend making a reservation. We were waited on very quickly. Our waitress was very friendly. The food was amazing! My husband ordered the quinoa bowl and I ordered the Cooper Street breakfast. Both were amazing! I'm looking forward to going back in a few weeks on our next Memphis weekend. ”
