Amazing and lovely. Have you ever been to a restaurant and thought I wish I could try multiple dishes on the menu? You can choose the recommended "flight" of food or mix/match or just order single dishes if you're not that hungry. The portions are generous and the food is delicious. Highly recommend

Our meals were delicious salmon, fresh lobster and lobster ravioli. The shrimp Brie appetizer was a hit and the lobster bisque is the best. Our server Abigail couldn’t have been more attentive and I appreciate that she offered to take a photo. It’s nice and quiet indoors in the winter.

About the restaurant
Aptly named for its locale, Southern Social nestles up to the old Southern Railway’s historic Germantown Depot and sits adjacent to Southern Avenue.

Owners of downtown Memphis’ Flight Restaurant and Wine Bar have opened Southern Social. The top tier fine dining restaurant will reflect the high standards established at Flight.

The restaurant features a chef-inspired menu, offering fresh seafood and prime steaks. Southern Social brings exceptional specialty cocktails and Flight’s award-winning wine selections.

I love dining at Simon's. The food is always good and the chef prepares food that is safe for me. As a celiac, I can't have gluten, but I don't have to worry much there because he adjust the dishes that can be adjusted. I have lots of choices there. I also love the building it's in. And I love the waitress we usually get. All in all, a great night out.
