Really delicious steaks and a great atmosphere in Memphis. Typical steakhouse prices where everything was ala carte. Best value on the menu is the Wagyu coulotte, 8 ounces on the menu for $34. My husband ate 2 for his meal and it was cheaper than the 16 ounce ribeye. It’s a very tender cut with great marbling. I had the filet and added some shrimp. We also ordered the garlic butter, regular butter, and some flakey salt which were all perfect toppers to the perfectly cooked steaks. Great options for a nice night out for keto/carnivore/low carb.

An absolutely phenomenal dining experience! The service was impeccable and the food was divine! The steak was perfectly charred on the outside and a warm pink on the inside just as it was ordered…and the truffle butter… !!!! The crab stuffed flounder was light and flaky and seasoned to perfection. The oysters weren’t the “chargrilled” we were expecting, but they were extremely fresh and plump! I highly recommend visiting soon if you haven’t already!

My first review of 2023 goes to one of my favorite steak houses in the city, 117 Prime! 117 prime always gives suburb service, cocktails, and food! Fairly new, they have continued to give the service that they started out with! Connected to Belle Tavern, a Memphis gem, they not only offer a fine dining atmosphere but the opportunity to switch vibes If needed. The sides are shareble, and everything is pretty much a la cart! And oh, they have this homemade worcestershire sauce that should be bottled and sold in stores!! They still have happy hour every day from 4-6 that they are opened but now their hours of operation are Tuesday – Saturday. If you haven’t been, I suggest stopping by soon.

What an amazing time. Came through on a road trip and decided to have a nice dinner with my spouse not being a Dan of big steak houses like Ruth’s Chris, etc. Man what a great ambiance and environment. Make sure to ask for the daily special. We were served this amazing tomahawk to share with all the fixings we wanted. Last but not least the price was crazy. Would come back again if ever through Memphis again.

A great choice for a quick after work or early dinner appetizer or entrée. Happy Hour offers delicious and unique dishes, including fresh Gulf oysters 4-6pm. Drink choices are refreshing and well mixed. The staff is always friendly and welcoming.

I was focused on taking my time and enjoying every bite and this was the best place for that. My waiter was courious, helpful, and fun. They have the best happy hour in town! Menu is solid with fair prices. I had the filet which was delightful. The Brussels sprouts were amazing and the loaded baked potato is the size of a Volkswagen. The fresh chives really set it off. Alexa visited the table to make sure everything was good. I appreciated that. I had a great experience!

Stumbled upon this gem by chance and did not regret my decision. We didn’t have a reservation so opted to sit at the bar. Even with this the service was top notch to that you’d expect table-side. The staff was all hands on deck where not just our waiter made sure we were taken care of.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. I’m going to be transparent and mention that our initial plans were at a restaurant nearby, but we left after feeling like we were ignored by the staff. I AM SO HAPPY WE ENDED UP HERE! As soon as we walked in we were greeted and escorted to a table. The ambiance is very nice, the lights are dim and the bar area looked spacious. My wife and I have been searching for good raw oysters in Memphis and we finally found them. The east coast oysters were so fresh and light, we’ll absolutely be back. Normally I prefer red mussels over white, but these were DELICIOUS. I ate both slices of bread because I couldn’t stop dipping it in the wine butter sauce. So good. The Kung pao Brussels were also delicious (shareable portion), but not as spicy as I expected. Overall, very nice dining experience and the food was great.
