I was there with two others, we each ordered something different. So we could share a bite of one another's.
I had the pastrami sandwich, It was out of this world crazy tasting !!!
Each entree was delicious and beautifully presented.
The drinks were excellent, Rubin & Joee were our bartender and server.
They were both very polite, nice and attentive.
I will highly recommend this fine establishment to any and all.
This place was recommended by my hotel. Very intimate setting. Staff was over the top nice! My salmon was out of this world delicious! Can't recommend this place enough!
Great experience! The service was good and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxed. The drinks were well made. We loved both cheese appetizers, beet salad and all of our entrees. The lamb was especially good. Both desserts were a little of a miss (just comparing to the rest of the phenomenal dinner) but they both got eaten for sure. The chocolate fondant cake was a little dry and the pastry on the apple dish was tough to chew. All of the plating was beautiful, maybe the best I've seen in town. Plenty of parking. Overall definitely do recommend.
Great place to grab a drink or to have a romantic dinner, family dinner... Either way, food and drinks are always amazing. I’ve been eating here for years; and quality’s always great. Not your typical restaurant spot, even better. And please, try the ice cream, made from scratch and they are the best.
Exceptional experience at River Oaks Restaurant! Secured a last-minute reservation for a party of 4 at a bar table. From appetizers to entrees and desserts, every dish was not only delicious but also presented with exquisite artistry. A delightful culinary journey that deserves a solid 5 stars!
Nice atmosphere and great service. I had a good French 75, people at my table ordered mojitos and had to ask for simple syrup. TV dinner was great, but it’s different day to day. Other than that, other people at table ordered French dip and the pastrami sandwiches, liked them! Great restaurant overall!
I enjoyed the visit here, but I think I need to try it one more time to affirm. The service is good. Portions of food are small, which is usually the case for fine dining. I left perfectly satisfied with leftovers, but if you are used to larger portions, this may not be your spot or order extra. The dishes we're prepared textbook style for the most part, I would have liked to have seen more. The only true detractors I have are the dining area is condensed, and the traffic is hard to navigate on Poplar, yet still, I plan to come back out one day!
For the best fine dining in Memphis, you need look no further.
Today was our second trip. The daily fish, Red Snapper, was
outstanding! The service is impeccable. I will be going back soon. The customer truly comes first at River Oaks.
Second time eating here, always fantastic service, great atmosphere and delicious and beautifully plated foods. We had my mothers 75th birthday here and we brought our one cake. The restaurant staff also bright the cake out with the candles we brought lit, after blowing out the candles they took the cake to the kitchen sliced and plated it and it was a fantastic experience! We enjoyed several bottles of wine, appetizers and exceptional main courses!

I just love River Oaks. To be fair, out of the 200 times I've gone, I've gotten the same thing 198 times! The short rib is always amazing! I swap out the potatoes with the cauliflower risotto. OMG!
I enjoy sitting at the bar. Very laid back. Every bartender so far have served awesome old fashions as well. Decent whiskey/bourbon list. Hands down one of my favorite restaurants.
Service was lovely, food was very yummy. We had the herb crusted lamb rack (perfectly cooked just the way I like my lamb), the Monday night special beef bourguignon with fettuccine, and crème brûlée.
Best dinner I’ve had in a long time! Salmon was excellent! My husband had the short ribs, they were great! Salad & dessert was excellent! Chef took the time to speak to us. Would definitely recommend this place! Our server guided us through a great meal.
