    16 oz flame broiled rib-eye with a side of mushrooms in burgundy sauce. The raw kale should've had a greater purpose than garnish to me?
    Tom F.

    The 3 of us landed in Nashville & drove 3 hours to Memphis to start our Tennessee visit and we all craved steak! After a bit of study & debate we chose Mesquite Chop House. The surroundings are dark wood floors, red leather booth seating, classic chandeliers & high tin ceilings overhead. Very much a cool prohibition vibe. I started with a Manhattan. Easy choice since they age their own bitters. Delicious! My wife had an espresso martini that she loved (I found it a bit too sweet). My son & I ordered 16 ounce mid rare ribeyes. My wife had the 8 oz filet mignon. All steaks are flame broiled & served with garlic mashed potatoes (changing the side is a $3 charge at the time of this writing). We also ordered 2 Caesar salads. The Caesars was excellent but the croutons were not top notch. The steaks were cooked & seasoned perfectly. Nice sears & allowed to rest before service. Just like home! The mashed potatoes were abundantly seasoned with salt & pepper with an addictive character. I switched my side to the mushrooms & burgundy sauce which complimented the steak and potatoes as I'd hoped. We liberally used the rich mushroom sauce/gravy for steak dipping. We concluded our meal with a slice of shared chocolate cake which hit the collective spot but not much better than average & was served too cold in my opinion. All the servers & kitchen staff were ALL smiles & genuinely welcoming. We really enjoyed our visit & would happily return.

    We came in here for a late bday dinner. Our reservations were for 9pm, which we were on time. We all ordered various entrees, various Temps. Our server was an eccentric human, a very strange man. They spent 20mins looking up directions on making me a drink. Yeah and guess what? It wasn't good. Lol Ww also spent a great deal of time discussing what they had run out of on the menu. When our meals came out they were all mixed up as to who had what. I ordered a ribeye med rare, I believe I was served a NY Strip, because the cut was tough like 1 to me. I didn't like my food. The others said their meals were ok, some enjoyed more than others. All of our steak temps were off, a few ppl sent their steaks back. Place only had 2 tables so these mistakes shouldn't have occured IMO. I wouldn't go back.

    We came for Memphis Downtown Dining Week, and were not disappointed! Parked right across the street in the "Parking Can Be Fun" garage for $8. The special menu had a variety of proteins and the food was delicious. Staff was friendly and attentive.

    I've been in Memphis for just over a year and this was hands down the best meal I've eaten. We started with the spinach artichoke dip. It was delicious. Fresh ingredients and large portion with fresh tortilla chips. The duck... Oh damn was that good. I had been craving duck for a while and this went way above what I was expecting. As for the service, the bartender/waitress we had was so sweet and attentive and made some really good drinks. Don't let the outside scare you away. They are undergoing renovations but are open and cranking out some of the best food in Memphis.

    Chicken pasta and steak with asparagus
    Kim B.

    Went here for dinner the day before valentines. Area wasn't busy at all. We parked on the street at the front door. Decor is decent. Booth and table seating. We had the chocolate eruption then steak and chicken pasta. The cake was very good. Food was mid. Husband said the steak tastes like it was created in a lab. The asparagus was yellowing but ok to eat I guess. My pasta portion was large so he filled up on my dish. We left our debit card there and tracked it down days later. They had it safe for us. Thumbs up. We'd come back for the dessert.

The food however was honestly meh (in my opinion). I got a creole dish and to be fair my dish looked beautiful. The plating was 10/10 but the taste for me left something to be desired. After eating this dish I questioned if I even like creole sauce because it really just wasn't that good. If this is a preference issue, I honestly don't know. I also thought the charcuterie appetizer had a weird mix of items on it from club crackers, to meat and cheese, and random veggies. Not bad but just kind of a weird mix. My husband ordered the salmon and he said it was good, not the best he's had but it was good. Other friends of ours got the white fish among the many other dishes. I did have a salad with these apples on it which was incredibly yummy. I will say though my dish looked amazing some of the other dishes were not plated well. Not to nitpick but to want to be considered a more upscale restaurant which means charging guest more money than say a local Applebee's then knowing how to appropriately garnish or drizzle sauce to elevate at plate is important (see my picture of the chicken dish). All and all not my favorite restaurant but definitely not the worst!!

A prime location for a prime steakhouse. The service was strong as was the pacing. I found the server a bit too eager to explain the restaurant and the menu. I'm a ribeye eater so I had a pretty good idea I was getting a ribeye before I went in. I think the talking is used as a way to upsell and push guests towards opaquely priced off-menu "specials" which from my understanding are always on offer (such as their deviled eggs and bone marrow sauce). We started with the beef tartare and duck ravioli. I preferred the tartare, which had a nice spicy seasoning throughout. The duck ravioli had an excellent sauce on it, too. For our mains, I got the prime boneless ribeye ($68) and my brother got the prime strip ($56). We also shared the Yume A5 Wagyu experience ($225), letting us try three different cuts of Wagyu side by side. For sides (about $15/each), we did the fontina potatoes, truffle honey tots, and carrots. We also added the gulf prawns ($21), foie gras ($14), and bone marrow sauce (~$20) which was prepared table side and was plenty to share. It was very rich and peppery, though a bit of a salt bomb. For dessert, we shared the French toast bread pudding with maple butter ($14) which is one of my favorite bread puddings I've tried. They also brought my brother a dessert since it was his birthday, it was something like a raspberry mousse with coconut foam and a sharp raspberry sauce. Excellent. The Yume experience was a big motivation in coming here, as getting to try cuts of A5 Wagyu next to cuts of regular (albeit prime) beef is unique in the Memphis area and really for hours around. It was priced as an experience rather than a food item. It did not disappoint, nor did the prime steaks. The A5 is so unbelievably tender by comparison. My favorite was the ribeye, but I'm biased. My brother, normally a strip guy, agreed with me there. The potato sides were underwhelming, particularly for the price. I don't know how I let my brother talk me into buying him $15 tater tots for his birthday. I could get the carrots again, though. My total was $800 for the two of us for the above food, six cocktails, and tax and tip. A big chunk of that was the Yume experience as well as the drinks (we were celebrating!). If we were to go back, it would be closer to $350 for the two of us, and I would go for the prime ribeye with foie gras again, no need for Wagyu or sauce. I enjoy the sister restaurants in this restaurant group (Coastal Fish, Flight, Southern Social) and frankly I'd bet Porch is the cash cow of the group due to the relatively poor value proposition. We had a great experience exploring the finest steak and accompaniments one could wish for. But, for my money, Coastal does a pretty good steak too.

The steak flatbread was equally delicious, layered with tender steak, fresh toppings, and perfectly melted cheese. The cocktails were expertly crafted and worth every sip.

It's one of the better happy hour values in the city. Char Restaurant +1 Then came dessert--the legendary Butter Pecan Cake. This dessert had to be created in heaven.

On a positive note, the service was good--Liz was great and very attentive--and the atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice. Overall: decent, but not a standout. 7/10

Perhaps this is a learning opportunity/retraining for the restaurant. He was not knowledgeable of the many things. It offers 1st job or owner's son type of job. The entree's were basic at best, the 20% gratuity for the service received did not align and restaurants do that on purpose.
