that man puts out some good food...and knows his wine, too!

Folk's Folly for sure!! It is a local restaurant, and probably one of the nicest in Memphis. Quiet, very romantic atmosphere.

I drive by ACRE on the way to my office. Wally has been saying it was a few weeks away since January. I wouldnt plan on going there til its open and has been for several weeks. Im sure it will be good thou.

Where is it near?

Acre is on Perkins about 3 blocks south of Poplar.

Here are a few of my favorite places in memphis, I think you would be pleased with any of these.

East Memphis:
Erling Jensen - probably my favorite place - very quiet and intimate - you will definitely feel it in your wallet

Downtown:
McEwans - One of the best places in town - I work acrros the street and tend to eat there too much for my own good

I would try Ruths chris, folks folley, they are both upscale quiet places with good steak.
The cappricio gril in peabody lobby is also very quiet intimate pricey
I hear paullettes is very good but have personally never been there.
And if you really want to impress go the extra mile and treat her to brunch sunday at Owen Brennans, it is very good.

Napa Cafe in East Memphis is a favorite of me and my wife. If you book ahead, they will set-up a table in the wine cellar for a special occasion. I booked it for an anniversary dinner and my wife loved it.
