“Look Good. Eat Good.” are the words emblazoned on the front windows at the Beauty Shop. This hip and trendy restaurant in the Cooper-Young district of midtown Memphis does both, as it conjures up images of a ‘50s-style beauty shop, formerly Priscilla Presley’s curl-and-dye spot. It’s a camp wonderland where the façade is Jetsons-era Vitrolite, and choice seating is offered beneath hooded Belvedere hair dryers.Nostalgia is served with a sense of humor here. The beauty shop flashback comes complete with original mint green wash basins filling in as sinks behind the hand built bar, made of tiger maple wood. The terrazzo floor is original. Glass brick stalls serve as intimate booths. Mixed with the retro renderings are modern touches such as hand-blown art-glass lights, and glamorous copper and silver-leaf walls.

We enjoyed our dinner at Capriccio Grill at the Peabody very much. My salmon was some of the best I’ve ever eaten, beautifully seared and perfectly cooked inside. I also loved the wilted spinach and grilled asparagus. The Spaghetti Bolognese was very good, as well. Pro tip: We had a later reservation, and the dining room was quiet while we were there. Lots of kids stay at the Peabody, so earlier reservations might not be as quiet.
