    A lovely birthday dinner at Porch and Parlor. This was my first visit and I was very pleased with the hospitality of the staff. The valet is on the side of the restaurant and it is complimentary. The front desk staff and greeter/hostess were all very nice and friendly. My friends and I were seated on the covered patio, it was chilly outside, but the covered patio has heaters and it stayed warm once staff made sure the patio door to leave stayed closed. We were seated next to the area where the waitstaff go in and out, it wasn't bad, I'd just ask to be seated elsewhere due to the constant in and out traffic. Now what did we order you ask?? Boneless Ribeye NY Strip Filet Cream brûlée corn (Absolutely delicious) Creamed spinach( very good) Brussel sprouts ( I had one Brussel sprout.. if you like them order them) Loaded potatoes ( similar to potatoes au gratin but fancier ) Mac and cheese Collard greens(sugar in the greens to cut the bitterness but too much sugar for my liking) Bacon Flight if you love bacon...order it! Don't question if it's good because it will be delicious. Chopped salad( it was ok, different ingredients than your normal garden salad, but good combination) has black eyed peas and celery if you're not a fan . Strawberry shortcake Everyone enjoyed the meal and sides. The sides are family style. The menu is à la carte if ordering steaks, they do offer entrees that come with sides that can be substituted for a fee. Mocktail menu offered along with cocktails and wine. The entire experience from valet, hostess, greeter, waitress, manager, everyone was so pleasant. I'd definitely return. Oh we also had the egg rolls, the sauce is a Thai style chili sauce. They were my least favorite because of the sweetness of the sauce but everyone else enjoyed them.

    What a divine experience at Porch and Parlor. I was in town for work and decided to try this place. We started with the lobster stuffed mushrooms. Super yummy and rich, in a good way. Scallops and oxtail were so so wonderful. Camille was a dream and gave superior service. Thank you for a memorable dinner! Can't wait to go back and try other menu items.

    This whole restaurant is a vibe. When I say the waiters are super helpful and kind. The atmosphere was top-level I didn't want to leave. All the food brought to the table was so Good. The eggrolls were so delicious my taste buds were going crazy. This was my first time trying fresh oysters and my goodness I felt like I was in heaven. The Duck Confit Ravioli was life-changing. I almost slapped my momma it was so delicious. Louisiana Redfish with the Jambalaya risotto cake and green onion white wine cream sauce had me already thinking about when my next reservation lol very delicious. The whole meal was so Good. If you haven't been to Porch and Parlor get there fast! You will not be disappointed. Thank you for the amazing experience .

    Porch and Parlor was a delightful surprise on our first night in Memphis, and in such a cute area. We ordered a variety of food to share, along with cocktails, and the tableside deviled eggs, which were fun to watch. Everything was fantastic. The egg rolls and lobster bisque were especially delicious, and the variety of old-fashioned cocktails totally won me over. It has a classic and old-school feel, so dress nicely!

    The food here is phenomenal... we had the bacon appetizer starting out which was delicious... we had the lobster pasta special of the evening and it was also delicious the lamb chops and the filet were also amazingly good. Love the atmosphere here and the location is perfect ... Emily was very attentive and we had a great time with her ... Thank you for the beautiful food and hospitality

    Lobster Angel hair Pasta

    I picked this restaurant for my birthday dinner and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. We parked in valet behind the building and walked to the door. We were greeted by staff and instantly I received warm birthday wishes. They also offered a cost check. Once seated, we waited about 2/3 minutes before being greeted by our waitress. She was very sweet and attentive. For dinner, I ordered the seafood special which was an angel hair lobster pasta. Very delicious and tasty! After dinner, the waitress brought me a nice (and delicious) birthday dessert! We enjoyed our time and overall great experience!

    Louisiana jambalaya redfish

    We enjoyed our date night at P&P. Our early reservation allowed for a beautiful view of midtown as well as watching the sun settle. We shared the wagyu egg rolls which were absolutely delicious. The chili sauce made them even better. I had the Louisiana jambalaya redfish and the only thing that really completed it was the crisp risotto cake, otherwise not great. The signature filet, my husband stated that it was a standard cut and that for $65, he could've got a steak at a Longhorn for less of the price & compared taste. We finished with the Toffee bread pudding which was supreme. Absolutely delicious. The appetizer and dessert made up for the lack of love in the entrees. We loved the elegant atmosphere, dim lighting, classical music & the high quality customer service, however. We'd go back if friends invited us. Otherwise it was a one and done experience.

    Excellent service from approaching the restaurant, greetings from the hostess, passing by staff to our table and being presented to our seat. We were graciously welcomed. The restaurant is elegantly decorated, I love the darker atmosphere because it seems to be more sophisticated and dignified for a fine dining experience. Our server, Blake, was phenomenal and was very knowledgeable of the menu and specials. He was very attentive and accommodating to our time between cocktails and ordering our appetizers to entrees. Timing was perfect. He was very pleasant and a wonderful server who was professional in every aspects. The food presentations were beautiful and we enjoyed the delicious cocktails and wine with a gracious visit from the wine connoisseur. He helped us choose the right wine for us. The over all experience for our special occasion made this night a memorable one. I highly recommend Porch & Parlor for a wonderful experience, for any occasion.

    Lobster pasta
    Hanna N.

    Porch and parlor never disappoints. Visited last weekend with a group of friends and the experience was excellent. Our server was attentive and friendly. The lobster pasta (a weekend special) was divine, plus I had plenty to take home since it was such a large portion. We also really enjoyed the steak deviled eggs, which they prepare table side. I didn't try the chicken, but my friend said it was delicious as well. We will definitely return!

    As an international traveling food critic and unbeknownst to the staff, the following is what I experienced: + Superb service from Georgia Brennan. She was energetic, down to earth, extremely efficient with impeccable situational awareness, which yielded a positive attitude to do what's right for the customer and the business model. + Very comfortable and old school atmosphere inside, airy and light outside. + Quality of food was exceptional high with nothing but the finest of meats, starch, and vegetables. If you are in the area and don't take the time to dine here, you missed out on a fine experience.

    Super good desert cake!

    My wife had her birthday while we were in Memphis and we decided to celebrate her birthday dinner at Porch and Parlor...what we had been told was one of the best restaurants in Memphis. And we were quite pleased with our choice...the dinner, service and ambience was all a five star experience. We started off with some bread and cocktails...both were excellent. For our entree...we both ordered the six ounce Wagyu filet accompanied by sides of mac and cheese and collard greens. Steaks were served at the perfect temp and very tender and tasty...and both the mac and collards were very flavorful. The service was beyond exceptional...our server Aiden was amazing...and even the manager stopped in to see how we were doing. Because it was the wife's birthday we also were treated with a delicious cream cake...so good. We were both very pleased with both of our meals and the experience...great spot for a nice dinner in Memphis!

    Oxtails/scallops
    amc a.

    Went for my father's birthday. - The food was exceptional along with really good service. - King Prawn cocktail - I think you only get 3, maybe 4, but the shrimp are def prawn sized. - prime rib eggrolls - great flavor and texture, but not a great value - it's two split in half so four pieces - FANTASTIC: wedge salad, collard greens, loaded parlor potatoes (I think these are the au gratin) - GOOD, but not epic: truffle mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, truffle tots, Brussels and asparagus - My father and brother had the elk and LOVED it. - We split the filets with lobster, scallop and prawn - which was also really good, but I could have been more than satisfied with the wedge and the sides. Overall a knock out experience for a special occasion.

    Tableside bone marrow
    Troy S.

    Feet is amazing. We love the table side marrow preparation. I got the ribeye. Got the presentation of six different steak night for which to choose. That was pretty awesome. Everything was great from the soup, the appetizers, the drinks, our waitress was amazing and super attentive, even though it was very busy. We had reservations, of course. Excellent bourbon selection. Very nice steakhouse ambience. The staff is amazing.

    Went to Non-Vintage for the first time to see Edie Bake Oven and her beautiful ladies perform. If I…read morecould give a review for Edie alone, it would be 5 stars. She carried this review up to the 3 I'm giving Non-Vintage. First of all, there was a severe deficiency of seating and staff for this event. No one greeted us when we entered, we moved chairs ourselves to make an accommodating space out of the way of the performers, and at no point did a member of staff take our order outside of waiting at the bar. The line for the bar was right in the way of the performers, and many people were forced to wait 10+ minutes for a drink order because there was only one bartender working. Another staff member had offered to help, and the bartender DECLINED, forcing us to continue to wait. I did try the wings and the charcuterie, they were good. I tried the nonalcoholic hibiscus drink and the nonalcoholic summer cooler drink. The summer cooler was much better in my opinion, but both were good nonalcoholic options. I think I would like to try this place when they are not hosting an event, I'm sure it's lovely when they are staffed appropriately for the shift. However, I was sorely disappointed tonight being forced to wait nearly an hour at the bar, missing parts of the show and on my feet for just a drink.

    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!

The grits were hard, and the crabcake appetizer came out cold--though the sauce on top had great flavor. None of our food was served piping hot, which was disappointing.

If you sit in the bar area (after being directed there as a solo guest), be prepared to go long stretches with no attention. I sat for a long time before being acknowledged, and my drink sat empty from the time my entree arrived until the end of the meal. Management really needs to support the bartenders better when it's busy. I'm actually writing this review at the bar right now because I'm still waiting for someone to come by so I can ask for my check or ask if I want dessert. The food is good, --certainly not good enough to make up for the lack of attentiveness. Next time, I'll wait for a table in the dining room or go elsewhere. Update: I eventually had to ask a busboy for my check, seemingly a manager brought it out but she wasn't dressed and the same uniform. I tried to hurry and put my card down not even attempting to use any of the four rewards I've earned over the last 2 months. Before, I couldn't look up she was gone and I waited another couple minutes. That's why I changed to a one-star.
