Business Description from the Web

brought to you by

wcities

Bistro-like atmosphere and service make McEwen's one of downtown's most comfortable restaurants. Its two chefs make lunch and dinner quite different experiences. Lunch offers excellent sandwiches, such as the grilled yellowfin tuna with Creole aioli and the roasted chicken salad. Salads include the savory grilled apple salad, and there is also a good selection of soups. Dinners are more elaborate ... more

Owner Mac Edwards and his philosophy of fine dining in short pants set the tone for this downtown favorite, which prides itself on innovative new Southern cuisine, a great wine list and a comfortable, unpretentious atmosphere. The menu includes pan-seared scallops piccata with cheddar grits, sweet-potato-crusted catfish with Creole honey mustard, and seasonal dishes. The wine list is extensive and ... more

McEwens on Monroe

brought to you by

Citysearch

On a recent visit to Memphis I had occassion to dine at McEwen's. Would very much recommend it. Ambience was excellent, and if you are staying downtown very convenient. Food was terrific, with a very creative menu. And a wine list that rivals many places in New York. Can't miss.

Mac's Dining Room

brought to you by

Citysearch

Between the wood and granite bar, the fusion food, and Mac the owner, this restaurant offers everything wonderful. Be sure to try the soup, the filet, and the coconut cake, and don't forget to check out the artwork for sale.

Nice meal with fantastic atmosphere

brought to you by

Citysearch

I traveled to Memphis for a long weekend and was taken to McEwens. I was immediately drawn to the warm atmosphere. Exposed brick, high ceilings and warm lighting. There is a separate bar and restaurant section so you can pop in for a drink or full meal. The setting is slightly formal and would be a great place for a nice dinner date. The food was good and I understand the menu changes regularly. The ... more

McEwen's disappoints

brought to you by

Citysearch

While the wine was divine, the house special seafood pasta was much closer to something you might find on a Grocer's shelf in a jar! In addition, the meal took over an hour to get on the table making us late for the threatre.

Thank goodness for their extensive wine list.

Pros

+ extensive wine list, polite staff

Cons

- parking, menu, very slow

Memphis with Mac, Cindy & Crew

brought to you by

Citysearch

McEwen's has been a stalwart in drink, food, & ambiance during frequent visits from New York & CA for many years. Whether dining alone, in small groups, or with large parties -- at lunch, dinner, and for late evening refreshments -- the service and cuisine are unmatched elsewhere in Memphis and are on a par with world class restaurants in my traveling experience. Combine these ingredients with the ... more

Traveled all over the world and still like to come home to McEwen's. Casual, comfortable, bistro-like setting is home to excellent food, well-prepared and presented, and a superior, fairly priced wine cellar. Owners and staff are friendly and efficient. Regulars receive special treatment, and visitors are treated like regulars!

Pros

+ Excellent food, Great Service, Superior wine cellar

Great Downtown Spot!

McEwens is more than just a casual dining spot in the center of downtown. It's great food matched with quality wine or beer. A staff that professional in the front of the house as well as in the kitchen. Worth a vist for you people who don't go downtown.

Pros

+ Food, Wine, Beer

Cons

- no up front parking
