- CCrystalMemphis / West Tennessee •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoMy husband and I went here for the first time! Absolutely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. The concept is amazing, especially if there’s several wonderful choices that are hard to choose between. We shared a beef Wellington appetizer that was so good! Then for entree My husband and I both got the steak flight, which included a wagyu strip, a Boursin stuffed filet and elk tenderloin. We also split a small plate of wild boar. Everything was amazing but the wagyu with zucchini and chimichurri sauce was PHENOMENAL! Then a flight of key lime pie, crème brûlée and a blueberry streusel. Probably some of the best key lime I’ve ever had! Luke was our server and he did a fantastic job at making sure we understood everything and that everything was tasting good. We will definitely be back! Our new favorite independent restaurant in MemphisMore infoFlight Restaurant & Wine BarPrice: Expensive• American• Downtown•4.9
- JJohnVIPMemphis / West Tennessee •75 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe made reservations for Valentines Day several weeks in advance and were surprised there was a special menu! Although We were a little disappointed we couldn’t get some of our favorite dishes, the menu was excellent and the dishes were creative. We started with appetizers, the crudo and the shrimp. The crudo was great, although something on the plate brought the HEAT! The shrimp were well seasoned and the broth was scrumptious and did not go to waste. For entrees we had the ribeye and the triple tail. The ribeye was a generous portion, Perfectly cooked. The potato cakes were crisp, and the mushrooms added a nice textural contrast. The triple tail portion was a little small, but the accompanying salad and beet puree were very filling. Finally for dessert I had the strawberry cakes. The cake was nice and light, but that icing was decadent! The winner of the night was the waffle. I hope that becomes a regular addition the to the menu. Our server Lee was wonderful. We were also happy to have even seated in a booth, giving us a little more of a private dining experience. Thanks for a great night!More infoThe Beauty ShopPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Memphis•4.7
- JJennaMemphis / West Tennessee •16 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoJa was our waiter and he was so kind and very attentive. It was Valentine’s Day and Char was busy, but we never felt neglected. The crab cakes were amazing as always… my steak entree was perfectly cooked. My husband’s duck was a little more rare than he wanted but we were pleased nonetheless. We will be back!More infoChar - MemphisPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Memphis•4.7
- MMarcusMemphis / West Tennessee •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI had a wonderful dining experience here on Valentines Day 2025. The parking is about 300 feet from the door but they offer a complementary shuttle service as well as valet for $20. Upon entry I was immediately greeted by the host and sat after my reservation was confirmed. Everything that was ordered came to the table within five minutes or less and it was not just our sever helping but a team effort. Amber was our sever and she was very attentive, I was surprised to find out she was GM just helping out for the day. From the perspective of the customer the restaurant was running efficiently and you could not tell they were short staffed. The food came out hot and fresh and was delicious. I was also surprised that cocktails were moderately priced and they were all under $12. We also had a table by the window with added to the abeyance. Great service, food, and experience on a busy day; I was pleasantly surprised and impressed:More infoMahogany River TerracePrice: Expensive• Southern• Downtown•4.3
- CCarlMemphis / West Tennessee •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe went for pre-Valentine lunch. I had a wonderful chicken salad and my husband had the redfish over grits. Both were yummy. I later met up with the sales manager of whom I wanted to meet regarding my birthday and other stays. He was so kind I think his name was Brian, but thanks complicated pilgrim for your excellent service even though it looks as though there was one waitress acting as a bartender as well, but very capable thanks againMore infoComplicated PilgrimPrice: Moderate• American• Midtown / Cooper•4.5
