With plenty of well-worn wood, rickety stools and brass rails, Memphis looks like a silver-screen version of a classic, cozy, smoke-filled […]
Executive chef Chris Ward is at the helm of this eatery where a sleek and contemporary interior is in contrast to its location in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it strip mall.

Just a rhinestone’s throw from University Park, Nick Badovinus’ homage to his native Seattle features a plethora of oysters, a good bowl of chowder and simple but just-right preparations of seafood.
