to get away from the soul numbing confines of chain restaurants in Orange County. We ducked in on a weeknight for a late dinner, a difficult task in O.C. where a lot of restaurants close by 9pm. Hip retro dining room. The pork porterhouse was very good... a nicely grill pork chop with a cherry wine reduction, paired with polenta and braised red cabbage. The menu is full of interesting dishes that I'll definitely go back to try.

First: weekend brunch is from 10:30-2:30, very affordable, and out-of-this-world fantastic! Above all, I recommend the eggs benedict (as a rule, I don't like this dish, but Memphis changed my mind on that!) and the french toast. Weekdays, lunch is from 11am-3pm and dinner is after 5pm. The food is fantastic: salads, crab cakes, the "soul" burger...so much flavor, your taste buds will be doing back flips. There's another location in Santa Ana's "Artist Village" (nearby the "other" Gypsy Den), though I recommend their website for the skinny on menu/hours/entertainment: www.memphiscafe.com. If you haven't been there, you've no idea what you've been missing! I'm a big fan of good food in general, so my recommendation will (hopefully) never steer you wrong.

Good music on certain nights. Drinks are not pricey at all. More of a dive bar than the typical glam of LA or OC. Diverse group of people. No real dance floor, but on a busy night, dancing can be done. Not for everyone, but if you're looking for an inexpensive night of fun, this might be the place for you.

It's been a while since I've been, but Memphis was a great place for lunch when I was working in Orange County in 2000. Burgers and sandwiches are top-notch, and it's a great place for an after-work drink. Have a peach cider on the patio with some coworkers and let the day melt away. Pros: Small but fun, Patio
