Frommer's Review
Still the most opulent dining room in Memphis (though the Peabody's palatial flagship restaurant has lost a bit of its cache in recent years), Chez Philippe still enthralls affluent gourmands who relish its Old South splendor. On the menu, Cuban-born, French-trained chef Reinaldo Alfonso exploits Asian influences in dishes such as seaweed salad with soba noodles, cucumbers, and daikon radishes in a sugar-cane-sesame vinaigrette; and wild salmon slathered in citrus-soy barbecue sauce with a crispy, sushi-rice cake and carrot-ginger puree. Other options include the unusual veal osso bucco dumplings as well as the comforting warm apple fritters with walnut-maple ice cream. Prices are the steepest in town, but expect to be pampered.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
