The place was very nice. My wife and I both got steaks that were very well cooked, drinks, and desserts. Kendra was absolutely fantastic. We've already picked out what we want from the menu next time we visit.

My husband and I decided to go on a date and try this restaurant because we had never been. This was a rare occasion where we were kid free and looking forward to a nice meal. First I would like to say, the food was excellent. My husband ordered the med rare 12oz filet (which was cooked perfect), with the twice baked potato. The lemon drop martini and Cajun shrimp pasta were outstanding. However, I am very disappointed in the staff I encountered. When my husband and I walked in the young blonde host was very rude and acted like she did not want to seat us. Instead of welcoming us into the restaurant, she looked us up and down and said, “I’m guessing y’all don’t have a reservation”. I was really taken back by this, but decided to give the restaurant a shot anyways despite being treated rudely. We were sat at a 2 top table around the corner/towards the back…odd. We enjoyed our meal and the food was excellent. The server brought our check out and had already added 20% gratuity, which was strange to me because we were a party of 2, and I didn’t see any verbiage anywhere explaining that they automatically add gratuity to all bills. We also tip and tip well, we were both servers in our HS/college days. This felt like the server was “assuming” we were going to tip and adding that to our bill, he also did not tell us he added it. I would have been willing to tip him 25-30% if we weren’t treated like second class citizen by the staff. I would return because the food is truly very good, but I do not want to be treated by staff the way I was again. Very disappointed in my experience.

Came for a celebration dinner. We were a large party and had a room in the back. It was set up very nicely. Our server Frederick did a good job. We had a limited menu to choose from since our party was so big. Our drink order was placed as soon as we arrived. I got the Pomegranate Margarita and it was delicious. So delicious I had to get another one!! When everyone arrived our order was taken. Salad came out first then the entree finished with dessert. The grilled chicken was nicely seasoned and cooked. The brownie could have been warmed up but instead it was cold. I really wanted to try their lamb chops but it wasn't on the menu we had. Will come back to give that a try.

Had cowboy ribeye and asparagus. Steak was awesome service was great. Santana was my waitress she took great care of me. Will come back for sure next time I’m in Memphis.

We had the prix fixe dinner and it was just OK. The appetizer was colorful chips and spinach/artichoke dip. It was fine, but the dip was bland and needed a little salt. Salad was somewhat institutional but just fine. Bread was fine. The steaks were cooked as ordered and were just fine. Side dishes were just fine. Desserts were just fine. Service was fine. Nothing was bad, but nothing was memorable. For $180 for two people, something should have been memorable.

Great experience. Our server Abraham was absolutely wonderful. So attentive and had great suggestions. Amazing service and can really tell he cared. Haven’t had good service like that in a long time. Food was good too. The classics done right.

I want to update this review! I spoke with the management staff from this location and they are beyond amazing and have ensured me the proper training will be performed! I will try this restaurant again in the future! BEWARE If you have an allergy! I have a garlic allergy and the server Rick did not care and was not knowledgeable.First I ordered a salad with meal and explained my allergy, He informed me that dressings don't contain garlic. B.S. Very few don't he never checked. I then asked if steaks were seasoned with garlic and told No. after eating I was extremely ill due to an allergic reaction. TRAIN YOUR STAFF!

We visited this location for my birthday dinner, and we truly enjoyed it. Kyle was our server, and he was amazing. He made lots of suggestions and answered all our questions. We tried the crab cakes, and they were okay. I'm a Floridan, so fresh seafood is my preference, so you could taste the fillers, but it was ok. We also had the spinach dip, which was delicious. I had a Ceasar salad, and the Mister had a house salad. For our entrees, he had the ribeye steak with a loaded baked potato, and I had the T-bone steak with a loaded baked potato as well. The steaks were so tender and delicious. They also gave me a free brownie and ice cream as a birthday treat. As well as we got the fried apple pie and ice cream. Both were great. We will definitely be back.
