The building has a classic charm with a hint of elegance that elevates the dining experience. Okay, let's get into the food- the southern strawberry cake was absolutely delicious. Each bite took my palate on a joyride of goodness. The mashed potatoes were velvety and delicious- smit was the best mashed potato I've ever eaten. The redfish and crab was the perfect combination. The fish was fresh with just the right amount of flakiness. The cheese grits were very tasty too. Definitely a southern experience worth having.

We attended church in Memphis which ends at 12:30 and bc we live out of state, we had to find things to do for 3 1/2 hrs. We discovered when we arrived that they had opened up reservations an hour early after we booked. I wish that they had first informed those of us who had first reservations so that we could move ours up. We arrived about 20 minutes early expecting to wait until our 4:00 reservation but they seated us immediately. We ordered wedge and harvest salads for our first course and the oyster deviled eggs appetizer. Both salads were very good. I did think the egg were a little bland and I didn't taste the oyster on one of the 4 deviled eggs. The candied bacon topping is what made the eggs overall good. Otherwise l, without the candied topping it was bland. I ordered the pork chop with sweet potato casserole and Brussels sprouts. My dish was very good and enough for me to take more than half for leftovers. (This doesn't mean change the portion bc it's just right.) My husband ordered the fried chicken dish. It was a giant piece of chicken. Fried very nicely but the coating was not seasoned well, if at all, to me. However, he enjoyed his meal and that's what counts. He said the collard greens were absolutely delicious and the mac and cheese was very cheesy and good! He also took home most of his meal. We don't have big appetites so the portions are probably just right for the majority. I took home the lemon pie dessert. I was expecting more of a meringue taste based on the description but it wasn't, so I wouldn't order it again. We ordered the house wine and 1 of the specialty drinks. The staff were very professional and friendly. The manager (I assume) stopped by every table to check on us. The restaurant has very nice ambiance and the tables have a nice amount of distance between them. It looks well maintained and the bathrooms are clean. The price point isn't bad esp for the generous portions. We've eaten at this restaurant a couple of times before over the years, and I still recommend it.

    Great food! Everything was quite tasty. The service was great!…read more A large group left the restaurant and it took more than 45 minutes for someone to clean it up. There weren't that many customers in during this time and I saw quite a few waiters that could have cleaned it up. Maybe I'm a bit of a prude - when I eat out, I'd prefer not to see dirty dishes on empty tables when I'm walking to/from the laboratory. Regardless, I will be returning next time I'm in Memphis. One more comment - when I used to live in Memphis (maybe 5 years ago?) this restaurant had a piano player some nights. This was AWESOME !!! Any chance of bringing that back??? That piano player made the place SO SPECIAL compared to other restaurants. It was the perfect blend of a good meal in a nice environment with a magnificent musician demonstrating their talents. Always kinda felt magical in a manner of speaking

He was then subsequently also tasked with an entire conference room full of people to serve. - When our food did finally come out, it was lukewarm and the appetizer arrived when the rest of our meal arrived, 47 minutes after we arrived. --- Total miss management of staffing!!! - Also, they are cutting back on the size of the meatballs now, which used to be a favorite. We'll think twice about returning here!

    The food was amazing!…read more The salad was scrumptious & seasoned so favorable. I also ordered the salmon which melted in my mouth. My side was a fully loaded potato. Im still eating off of it. It's enough to feed 2 people depending on one's eating habits. I also ordered a blueberry lemon drop. It's smooth & sneaky. I was so relaxed drinking that libation. I love the ambiance. Customer service was good too. We had a party of 7 therefore the gratuity was added. A phenomenal experience that my tastebuds appreciated. My pictures show my order & my friend's order which is the steak, macaroni & salad (which I had the pleasure of tasting the salad) So nice of her to share This is a pricey restaurant but it's worth it. Enjoy

    New Year's Eve Dinner!! First time here!…read more C decided she wanted a fancy dinner for NYE. She actually even said the words, "I chose this over Porch and Parlor". Huh? We arrived to a sea of blue lights from sky cop camera trailers in the parking lot. There are probably 20 flashing blue lights in the parking lot, plus the security car had strobing yellow lights. It's like a crime scene. We are behind a few others so I went to the bathroom before we are seated. The soap dispensers did not work and the jar that was supposed to feed the dispensers is just sitting on top of the counter for you to use. The mouthwash jar was empty and had been for some time considering the dust. Some convenience store bathrooms on Poplar are better. Inside is more of the same. Old, worn, outdated, a little bright for a Steakhouse. Get seated and our server came over and went through menu with us. They were thorough and friendly. They made great suggestions and listened to our needs. The restaurant was out of the beer they suggested for me and only had big chain beers to offer after that so I had a beer made in California. It's hard to believe they don't sell any locally brewed beers here. C had a special olive infused martini they have with a caviar side. She loved the caviar bump with her fancy ass. We ordered the Tomahawk Ribeye for two. She had a wedge salad and I had Lobster Bisque to begin. We both loved these starters! There was actually a good bit of lobster in my soup and her wedge looked fantastic! Soup was really good and I thought I may have been wrong about this place. When we ordered, we discussed how well the kitchen could cook a steak and if med rare was going to be a warm red center. He ensured us it would be. I thought if it's a bit cool, the hot plates will finish it off. Damn giant ass thing arrives rare as hell and still cool. I thought the hot plates would help, but not really. They were not that hot. Ugh. I was going to send it back, but C immediately says "it's great" when the server asked about the doneness. I just went along, but then she spit her first bite out because she could not chew it. She cut it up into smaller pieces going forward and got some of it down. I guess maybe mentally it was too much for her, because it was tender in the mouth. She trimmed off of the bone for pieces she should eat. I am better at rare steaks than she is and ate what I could. It was almost hard for me to eat as well. Most of the center of the steak remained untouched. Our server came as we were finishing and I could tell they noticed it was underdone by their expression We had the Flemings Potatoes and Corn Brûlée as sides. The corn was good, but the potatoes were also cold and not put together very well when prepped. I make a similar au gratin potato myself and whoever prepped this did layer it correctly so you had 8-12 layers of potatoes slices with no seasoning or sauce. Just plain ass potatoes. Pair this with it being cool. Nope. Corn brûlée may have been the best part of our entree, and that is sad. Canned corn and sugar.... Torched We just stopped eating, boxed it all up, and got desserts. We had the chocolate lava cake dine in, and the carrot cake to go. The lava cake was fantastic! I ate almost all of it myself! Really good with thin little cookie under the ice cream. Nice! Carrot cake was good at home. I wonder if it's made there. The caramel sauce that accompanies it is tasty. They even gave us a box of truffles they make there on the way out. Bottom line. Great apps, fantastic desserts, terrible entree portion because of employee shortfalls. I get it, it's hard in Memphis to find good help. It's also a tough market to operate in as well. The clientele can be challenging as well. This leads me to my major beef.... Our server, who you may have noticed has been referred to as "they". This is not to incriminate them, not because they had pronoun need's. They made jokes, had funny stories, suggested things for us to try and things to avoid, and cared for us in a way that is unusual kind of greatness I am not used to in Memphis. They stole the show in my mind. Food is never the servers fault. Another couple was seated right behind us for dinner and they were also their server. I am a middle aged Caucasian male. The other couple were not, you fill in the blanks. The difference in how they spoke to us, and how they spoke to them was painfully different. It was grossly obvious they had disdain for them from the get go. It made me uncomfortable to hear them go from my table to theirs. If I could hear their conversation, they most certainly, could hear ours. Yuck! I heated the leftovers in a skillet and were able to mix the potatoes and finish off the steak once it was cooked a bit more. I did eat the to go carrot cake and it was good. This recovery along with the good apps and desserts pulled the three! '26 - 3

I wasn't a fan of the blue cheese and black truffle burger but the wine was amazing. A decent pour for a good price. I would recommend this place.
