Dory

"This wasn't just dinner, this was a true experience!! Not only was the food really amazing and all locally sourced, but it was the little details and the astounding amount of love and energy the staff and chef put into the evening. The kitchen is open and visible to the diners, especially where our table was, and we really enjoyed watching all the chefs prepare the dishes, it felt like we were watching parts of "The Bear" (the elevated cooking in a kitchen parts!). Everything about our experience felt personal and the little touches the head chef executed felt so heartwarming and sophisticated simultaneously. We didn't order dessert, but because we were celebrating our birthdays, the chef brought us a small plate cake on a dainty, special plate from his mother's kitchen. So so glad I took a chance on this place, and on such a special occasion too!! Couldn't recommend more if you're into classy, elevated, vibes and cuisine."

"I absolutely love this place. I went for my birthday dinner. I had the six course plus wine pairing. It was exceptional. Hands down the best meal/service I have ever had. EVER! I loved to intimate setting. The staff was incredible. The servers were knowledgeable and gave a detailed description of every course. I have never had a better dining experience. I would recommend Dory to any and every one."

"The best meal I have had in Memphis. This dinner was a complete experience from start to finish. Each time I have eaten here I have had delicious fresh food and memorable night. I am a good cook so I don’t usually like things that I can cook at home. However, these dishes are like nothing I have ever made- or ever had anywhere else. Truly a gem in this city."

"This is literally the best restaurant I've ever been to anywhere. The flavor pairings are beyond incredible! I've been to Michelin Star restaurants that don't even come close to being as good as Dory. The experience here is beyond incredible. Randall is an exceptional server and the chef comes out to meet and greet and he is just wonderful to interact with and hear about his creativity. We have been here several times and it's always been fabulous! This is my favorite restaurant anywhere! Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone!"

"I actually went there for my birthday recently. This is a place that serves up 5 to 6 courses with an intermezzo . Be prepared to stay for at least an hour and a half. Be sure to make reservations beforehand. The ambience of the place is pretty basic but nice and quaint. The walls were adorned with an eclectic array of musicians portraits. We showed up around 5:30. It was nice and quiet. Our server was on point and attentive. The courses we're seasonally random, and we could only omit food choices we did not want. They served an array of fresh vegetables. Our protein dishes dishes were duck, Cod, and Lamb. Most of the dishes had great presentations. However the depth of seasoning was somewhat bland. Seasoning was to be desired. Salt, pepper. herbs, spices, would have next leveled everything. It come off as a high end culinary restaurant. It is not fine dinning. I would consider it upscale casual. All in all, it was a decent experience and I would recommend you giveit a try. They have a decent wine selection. The open kitchen floor plan was a bonus. Oh yeah, It got a bit festive around 7 PM."
