I don't usually deal out 5 stars, but They earned every piece of them. Food was prepared to perfection, and table side salsa was the best in Memphis. Unique flavored and style drinks. Wonderful and knowledgeable staff. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere and fell.... one of the Best date night spot in town.

I ate there for the first time. The parking situation was a disaster! Valet even ran out of spots to park. It's a very nice huge old house made into a restaurant. The service was bad. The waitress didn't submit any of our side dishes into the kitchen. It took forever to receive any of our drink orders as we watched them sit at the bar with the ice melting. The food was mediocre at best. The toast on the BBQ brisket sandwich was like sandpaper on the roof of my mouth. The flame grilling of the steak was pretty cool though...

This place is amazing. . . My first time here, and it was superb. . . Upscale atmosphere with reasonable prices. . . They have a bar upstairs and downstairs. . . The service was on point, and the food was perfect. . . The Cauliflower appetizer was the best I've ever had. . . They also made the salsa right there at the table which is something I've never seen before but it was incredible. . . They were also slammed and you wouldn't have known because it was that good. . . Highly recommend this place.

I wanted to give this a better rating because of all the good reviews and was looking forward to the experience. I ordered the ribeye medium but it was well done and dry. Unbeknownst to me, another party ordered the rib eye well done and I guess she got my medium. Another party ordered the salmon with risotto but the salmon was dry. Another party had a problem with her New York strip and it was also well done and dry- she wanted medium rare.. The manager came by aware of the situation but did not offer any type of compensation such as a free dessert. We were a party of seven and there was an automatic 18% gratuity which was not a problem. The macaroni and cheese was very good. The coctail drinks were very good. Our server filled up our water glasses and kept asking if everything was okay. In my opinion, this was a high-end steak place and we should have had better tasting steak. This is not my first time at a high-end restaurant and I expected much better. I have had better steak at Longhorns and Outback and was hoping to have a better experience with ala carte prices. Easy to drop $100 plus at this place but would rather have walked out saying to myself it was worth the price.

The atmosphere is great, and so was the service. It's a beautiful building and I was really looking forward to eating here.Our waiter as courteous and professional. The food presentation was first rate, we loved the salsa cart and bubbles in our drinks,but the chef was definitely having an off night.Food was kinda blah and the steaks weren't cooked properly.

We’ve had the pleasure of dining at Tekila in Midtown on three separate occasions, and each time the experience has been outstanding. The food quality and customer service have been consistently impressive. Jaime, the manager, is always welcoming and attentive, while Ramiro always goes above and beyond to ensure we are well taken care of. I look forward to continuing to visit and enjoying the exceptional food and service they provide.

I couldn’t wait to share my experience after dining here, the night of 2.8.25. The service was excellent! Our waitress was DeeDee (or DD) and the aesthetics of the building are lovely. Everyone enjoyed everything from the drinks, appetizers and entrees. Very impressed and will return.

Why haven't you been here yet? We tried it for an early dinner, and a walk in. We were greated by very friendly staff and our server was very pleasant. Our food and drinks didn't disappoint! You HAVE to try the cauliflower! Out of this world amazing, but it could feed an army. The prickly pear margaritas were on point. The restaurant itself is breathtaking inside as well. You NEED to go here...and don't wait for a special occasion...
