 Danish-born, classically trained chef Erling Jensen relies on seasonal ingredients to create the dishes offered in his East Memphis restaurant. Jensen does not spare the lump crab meat, lobster, and other luxuries in his cooking. In fact, luxury is everywhere. How else would you describe Guadalupe Mountain elk chop with apple braised red cabbage, or filet of buffalo tenderloin with lobster béarnaise? Seafood gets equal treatment, with such dishes as seared ahi with daikon-jícama slaw or pan-seared diver scallops with crab gazpacho. Even the burger and pizza options are gourmet, with a blackened buffalo burger with crispy Benton’s bacon or an herbed flatbread topped with duck confit. But save room for desserts, such as the chocolate soufflé with Maker’s Mark crème anglaise. Erling Jensen has, perhaps, the best wine list in town. Service is informed and gracious, but not always flawless.
