This Victorian Village restaurant occupies the Mollie Fontaine House, built in 1886. Salads of endive topped with grilled pineapple and mango and Thai-spiced pork dumplings are outstanding starters. Follow with the salmon filet with lemon-tamarind sauce and a green tomato croquette or the roast duck breast with orange-cinnamon sauce. Other menu items show Caribbean, Cuban and Spanish... more

Housed in an ornate Victorian mansion filled with 19th century architecture and original artwork, this restaurant features an eclectic, avant garde atmosphere and a superb menu of international fusion cuisine, with influences from South America, the Caribbean Islands, and Pacific Rim countries. They are open Tuesday through Saturday for dinner only and reservations are recommended.

This restaurant is housed in the turn-of-the century Molly Fontaine-Taylor house, a former residence in the city's Victorian Village, but the cuisine is a contemporary mix of international flavors. Try the tapas platter, roasted duck breast with orange-cinnamon sauce, and roasted sea bass with black mushrooms and chili sauce. AE, MC, V. Closed Sun. and Mon. No lunch Sat.

The Scene Walking up to this Victorian mansion, you'd expect a lace-and-doily decor. Once inside Cielo, the plush comfy chairs, cobalt-blue lights, gold-leaf ceiling and baby grand piano in the mezzanine transport you to a funkier era. Candles flicker in three intimate dining rooms, while well-dressed foodies sip wine and groove to soft, jazzy music. The Food ... more

Cielo shares ownership with Automatic Slim's and shows evidence of the same fevered imagination. Occupying a tall 1886 house in the city's Victorian section, Cielo's dreamy interior resembles Sleeping Beauty's castle passed through the Jetson's living room. Look for entrées like grilled beef tenderloin, sea bass, crab cakes and spicy pork dumplings. The wine list isn't extensive, but it offers... more

Created by the same folks who gave you Memphis Automatic Slim's Tonga Club (not to mention the new Beauty Shop). Cielo, housed in an ornate brick Victorian mansion in the Victorian Village neighborhood just east of downtown Memphis, is a total work of art. From the lush interior design and abundance of contemporary art to the fanciful creations that appear from the kitchen, Cielo (which means... more

My experience was the food was average to above average for the area, but if Cielo was located in areas such as Atlanta, Charlotte or even Tampa, I'd give it 6 mos, the problem is no real competition or a bunch of people who really know their food in Memphis, plainly it's 'good' for what Memphis has to offer', which ain't much, but I'll say it's worth a try, but if you travel beyond the... more

My husband and I ate at Cielo for our first wedding anniversary last weekend. The food was wonderful!! I was also impressed because they let us bring in the top tier of our wedding cake and served it to us after the dinner. The setting was very romantic as well. I would highly recommend Cielo for any special evening!

Pros

+ Wonderful food, Friendly waitress, Romantic
