Ignite Steakhouse - Southland Casino Hotel Ignite delivered…read morea strong dining experience overall, with just a few details holding it back from perfection. The pistachio-crusted lamb chops were the standout--perfectly cooked with a rich, nutty crust that added both texture and flavor without overpowering the meat. Execution was on point. The ribeye? Cooked exactly as ordered--great sear, proper temperature, and finished with a buttery richness that speaks to a well-managed grill station. The wedge salad was solid--fresh, crisp, and balanced with the right amount of dressing and toppings. Now... let's talk about those carrots. Flavor was there, but the portion was diabolical--two small pieces on a plate at this price point just doesn't align with the rest of the experience. At least four would make it feel intentional rather than an afterthought. Service deserves recognition. Amy, our server, was clearly handling a busy section, but never let it show. She remained polite, professional, attentive, and still managed to exceed expectations--exactly what you want in a high-volume steakhouse environment. Final take: Great execution on proteins, solid service, but portion balance on sides needs attention. Still a place worth returning to.

About amazing experience. $50+tax gets you all ingredients to make two drinks, a bonus welcome cocktail and an individual charcuterie board. The staff were friendly and I enjoyed the experience. I love that each monhtly class is themed so that you have no worries of repetitive experiences. In addition, each class you leave with one item that helps prepare you to stick your at home wine bar. Tonight we were gifted the jigger, which was cool as we didn't expect this to occur. Great event for friends, couples or solo.

When we arrived, we were actually sat at a two top high table which immediately made us feel happy and grateful since we did not expect to actually get our own little spot! Then, the service we received from Ryce our waitress was so comforting and genuine! She gave great recommendations and checked on us the right amount and at the right times! Furthermore, the vibe of the restaurant was so so cute! Me and my girlfriend both expressed the desire for our future home to have a similar chic style. Lastly, the food could not have satisfied us more. Specifically, the capaccio starter plate was both of our favorite ways we've ever had it made. 10/10 would go on a date with my valentine here again!!!

We were delightfully surprised at the five star service, and the food was spectacular! I can only comment on the Lamb Chops which were the best I've ever had, and I've had lamb chops at restaurants around the world, including some very highly regarded places. Be sure to have the dinner rolls with a little butter for a special treat. If I were a resident in the area, or if I ever need to travel that direction, I would make a detour just to have dinner here. The scallops looked very good, although I did not try them.

Not easy to find. But great experience. Great service and tasty food. Can't wait to go back.read more

Loved the food. The margarita was great too. We were traveling and it was a great food experience.read more

Unique Girl Dinner concept, why choose one, when you can sample all 3+ in a FLIGHT :D…read more So that's just what this girl did. SOUP FLIGHT $14: Lobster bisque, She Crab (immature Blue female crab incl roe typically though this has no bright orange color) and Gumbo with rice. Portions are about a cup each and with the moreish sweet yeasty soft rolls, can easily fill you so pace and share! Gumbo was overly salty so gave that to my BILaw. ENTREE FLIGHT $16 Quail+$19 Redfish+$28 Elk Tenderloin When customizing your flight as I did the small plate price applies. Quail alone was filling, deboned in middle breast and thigh, as it's sweet spiced Creole stuffed and you get mini legs and wings to gnaw on. Like mini Thanksgiving. Took half home and actually ate on 'Flight' Home lol, it was just as tasty and far better than the pretzels haha! LA Redfish had a nice buttery panfried crusted and moist inside about 4oz with southern cheesy ham risotto topped with crab meuniere/browned butter. Elk Tenderloin medium rare as ordered, again great char, was naturally lean and tender, very tasty. A first for me, I would order over a regular steak tenderloin and only 1/2 fat! Killer deal :) Mac with asparagus spear was a tasty pairing. When server tells you 2-3oz Flight servings, in your mind it seems small but these were generous portions and easily fill you. I would share this after a salad or soup next time ;) Older menus point to the even more exotic ostrich, and Kangaroo loin, wow! But with Boar, Bison, Quail, Flounder, and Elk as current options, you can definitely dance around your less traveled palate. Definitely would return next time in Memphis and hunt down those exotics! Downed the hatch with a VINO Bel Glos FLIGHT Pinot Noir $18 spans the 3 premier cool climate CA AVAs-- Southern (Santa Maria Clark & Telephone) Central (Santa Lucia Balade) and Northern (Russian River Dairyman) liked this best but all deep rubys, cherry plum, some vanilla and spice. Very enjoyable flight. A shot of straight Sazerac Rye $10 and $4 Sweet Tea rounded off the table. Of course the guys went full hog entree, Shrimp & Grits $32 was the weakest of the plates as the shrimp were peeled and boiled? vs a more flavorful char & flavor or a spiced shell-on shrimp. Hubby was disappointed preferring my home made NoLo version. BIL's Veal Scalloppini $30 lemon caper butter and parm orzo, veggies really pleased him. It was more ordinary for my palate. All so stuffed thus passed on dessert but BIL took Key Lime Pie to go $7.50 reporting it was great next day. Server was attentive and friendly. Could use brushing up on menu, I had to look up the She Crab and Wine regions after asking. Waiting for a giant Fresh Pepper grind is a pain when it got busy, eventually brought us small grinder set to us. All the prices are very reasonable for the quality, white tablecloth ambience, elegant dining room with giant chandelier and darker woods while well lit with an upstairs tabled loft (although drab bathrooms could use some sprucing) downtown, AND importantly Valet parking, makes dining here such a breeze. Sidewalk patio for fair weather days too. Take FLIGHT and dine here, it'll make your girls giddy, Imma still flying high on my dining memories.

Outstanding restaurant with educated servers who were helpful but not intrusive--that's a skill!!!…read more Love the concept of this restaurant with flights of food and wine! We had the bone marrow--delicious with an herb crust and the seafood flight appetizer, all excellent but the bbq shrimp was intoxicating! Exactly what bbq shrimp should be with a rich sauce, maybe with cognac added? Not sure, but I'm going on a treasure hunt for a recipe! The bubbles flight was fun--great start! Salad flight was a crisp palate refresher for the next two flights of red meat and fish! We loved the lobster ravioli and the Boursin filet, but the lobster Benedict will be in our dreams! The dessert flight was good with the crème Brûlée--avoid the peach cobbler since peaches are not yet in season! The lighting is perfect! Love how I could see the menu and my husband and still feel romantic! This restaurant would be competitive in NYC, so certainly a jewel in Memphis!

Bring a sweater or ask for one of the side rooms where the icy chill won't kill those rib fighting knucks lol. We had to move into the far back Delta Map room and it was much comfier. Brisket Combo $27 comes atop bread, it was very soft in texture, oily, vs my preferred slab of smoked beef with grainy texture intact. The crispy burnt ends were delish tho accompanied by a rack with about 1/3? less ribs. Ribs $27.50 Lg order became more meaty as I made way to small end and leftovers tasted even better next day. Dry rub is excellent black pepper, onion garlic, baked beans tangy n bit sweet, while the BBQ sauce, Hot and Regular in squeeze bottles, along with a mustard yellow coleslaw in deep plastic solos, were more vinegar forward than I recall. It definitely gave me a pucker and took me to almost end of first sitting to acclimate to that level of tang. By the next day, you are almost craving it lol so it's a building up your sour puss or maybe that it tames and mellows out somewhat next day haha. Mesquite smoke permeates the air and the ribs and that's a good thing, yum! Traffic IPA 12oz draft, a local Crosstown Brewing West Coast paired well, crisp, hoppy, light head, citrus pine & mango notes, Award winning wow just $4.75?!! Mid Coast CA Parker Station is a $10-14 Pinot Noir. Good $10 pour, easy to sip, just ok 3/5 fruity vanilla spice and deep thick color akin to a merlot in taste and body. A bottled GF beer was tasty and v pleasing to our guest. Family reunion dinner for hubby, his brother, niece, & great nephews. Everyone left full and fulfilled in their nostalgia filled bites down Rendezvous lane.

A very old school entrance down an alley, then down the stairs. Walls and ceiling filled with all manner of bric a brac. Service was a bit slow and perfunctory. There's not much reason to entice people to return since so many are visitors. We ordered the small ribs and a brisket plate. Both were heavily seasoned. The ribs were a little dry but made better with the table BBQ sauce which was nothing memorable. We did enjoy the small tarts, both the buttermilk chess and pecan were delicious.
