Capriccio Grill Memphis

It was his birthday and so we got us a treat here. It was Saturday and we got the earliest available time 12:15 for brunch. We arrived on time, and parked our car in a parking garage, right opposite to it. They might have their own valet service as well. On arrival they treated us well and got us the table which was already arranged. We started with water- and then I got some coffee while he got the tea. The tea was pretty usual, where as the coffee was quite good. They served a whole pot (French press) of coffee. With this there was freshly baked biscuit. The biscuits were house baked, glazed on top and quite big in size. They have a several stuff to serve with it. I opted for strawberry preserve and he got some lemon curd. Both were great, and we enjoyed our biscuits. Our server was quite charming and got us the food we choose. For the first course I opted for the ham and bread ( they have some fancy name for it though), and he got the bagel with smoked salmon. The ham was savoury, and a little hard. It was great altogether with the bread and a hint of mustard ( or something? ) with a side of cantaloupe. Overall, it was quite fancy. Moving on in the second course, I asked for the chicken and waffle, while he got shrimp and grits. The shrimp and grits was very hearty and comfy meal altogether. It was quite filling with cheesy grits and shrimps on top.honestly, waffle and chicken was a total flop I would say. It was very basic. The waffle was just like what you get in waffle house. The three boneless chicken fries also could be way more better. They were crunchy from outside, and moist inside. However, they were very sour in taste. What did they put? Too much vinegar or something? Whatever, they need to work on it. Finally, the show stoppers arrived - desserts. They have some three tiered trays with three different pastries. All bite sized- and decent in taste. I liked the chocolate ganache tart most. It was more like what you get in whole foods, nothing extraordinary! Overall, it was nice however, ample room for betterment was there. Overall, the food was pretty decent, and flamboyant. But there is some x factor missing which we expected in upscale place like this. Nevertheless, I recommend it. 46$ per head is too reasonable for such a fare. I will return surely.
