The Blue Room

This is a copy of a letter that I sent them via email. They never responded. This is sad considering this is a training institution for future restaurant employees and owners:Good Evening,It is 8:06 pm on Saturday October 5th. My family and I have been sitting here since 7:00. Pm. We do not have one crumb in front of us. There are only 3 occupied tables. Among the menu items that you do not have is asparagus, greens, chicken, shrimp, macaroni, oxtail ravioli, sweet tea, lemonade, and a few items that I have forgotten. It is safe to say that you don't have 50% of the items on the menu. This is easily one of the worst dining experiences that I have had in a very long time. I really had high hopes for this place. I usually would be compelled to post on like Google or Yelp, however, for some reason I think that maybe this is a wrinkle in the universe. The music is good. Fix this please...8:22pm...ribs and salad are on the table. My family love the ribs . But I was just informed that there are no mashed potatoes.They did offer a discount. I appreciate that.Please fix this(Note: I still paid $192 and we do not drink alcohol-2 adults and a child)

Overall, I enjoyed this revamp of the blue room. I originally went years ago before the pandemic when it first opened. Since then, they have made significant enhancements. I definitely enjoyed the convenience of it being in the Cordova area as well as the ambiance. The art and music were definitely a plus. I had the pasta, which was fine. It was nothing to write home about; however, it seemed that the night I went, they were understaffed. The bar area was particularly quite slow. However, the servers and the bartenders were all nice and doing the best that they could. I will be back to try it again. It is a great stop for a no-frills, relaxing time near the house if you life in the suburbs of Memphis and don't want to make a drive to have a good time.

This restaurant is connected to the University of Memphis culinary school. I believe they use it to train their students and test out new ideas. The waiter we had was being trained and that made the experience better. We got the attention of two waiters.This place was not busy at all. I think there were only 4 parties there. This place deserves a lot more business.For drinks, I ordered the Peach Martini and Long Island. The Peach Martini was a little too sweet for my taste and I couldn't taste the alcohol. The long island was good.I ordered the Creamy Cajun Pasta. It is not as big as it looks in the pictures but it packs a ton of flavor. They seared the sausage on both sides and thinly sliced it. Everything about the dish was perfection.The apple cobbler was also very good.Be patient with this place because they will be out of certain menu items but the food you get will be wonderful.

Enjoyed a great night of live music and good food. The customer service here was great and the food was unique and tasty. Several nights of the week they have live music. Now if you are looking for a cheap date this is not the place. The price points are on the higher side, but for me it won't stop me from coming back. The portions are pretty good sizes as well. Give this place a try for date night or a fun night out with the girls!

Went last Saturday to check out this newish restaurant. We will sending off a friend as she was moving to California. The place was hopping with a private party in the next room and the music was bumping and loud. It was hard to talk to friends at the table.The food was pretty good, but it took a long time to come out since the party was going and we had a large party of seven. We ordered different appetizers which were very good. I had the southern fried chicken with roasted Brussel sprouts and mac & cheese for my entree. My friends are generous as we shared our foods. The food was rich but quite tasty. Other foods we tried were collard greens, kale salad with shrimp, ribs, truffle fries, steak and lobster, and the cajun pasta. Our server was very nice and attentive. She came to fill up our water glasses frequently. She apologized because it was taking a long tome for our food to arrive. The chef came out later to check on us as well. Prices are higher end and you need to dress business casual when you eat there. There is plenty of parking in the lot. The restaurant is nicely decorated with hints of blue and there is a large tiger sculpture out in the foyer. It is a great place for a party. I may return but the food is very very rich.

I had such a great experience. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable! The ambiance was very laid back and mature. The jazz playing and the artwork was a nice touch! The food was AMAZING! This is a definite must try!

Visited this Place last Saturday nightThe service was exceedingly slow both in taking our orders and bringing out our food both appetizers and main courses The Fried Pork Ribs were delicious Fried Catfish and The steak were both good but my sides of Mac n cheese and Yams were NOTThe Alcohol berates were very goodWe had Strawberry Lemonade cocktail with Ketel One Vodka The best part of the evening was the live music Daryl Evan Jones played Jazz on his Flute and it was a smooth vibeSo there it is some good some bad

Food was great. Service was good and there was a band. Everything was cooked well and the chef visited our table.

The dining area is absolutely gorgeous. The food is made to order, and the staff members are friendly and professional. Everything was tasty, and I look forward to trying something from the lunch/brunch menu.

I loved the blue room and consider myself a regular. I am so bummed about this place now and all the changes. The menu now looks like any other place, Memphis didn't need more bars, I craved the adult, grown and sexy, intimate atmosphere. the bar is missing a lot of stuff. I couldn't get my peach basil because Rick the old bartender is not there anymore. The bartender now was a lil socially awkward. I went for the ambiance and vibe. The food is good... for now.Marty cares about his food and craft. The blue room used to be a great thing and I don't know why they decided to "fix" it when nothing was broken.
