- SShawnvipAustin •31 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis was a unique dining experience on our visit to Memphis. Being able to try tastes of different entrees was wonderful. I started with a small plate of wedge salad. (A flight of salads seemed too much with entree and dessert) but the small plate was just enough and the blue cheese on it was the best I ever tasted. Then I had the seafood flight with a beautifully seared scallop and spaghetti squash sauté plate, the shrimp and grits plate and lastly the best was the lobster & crab Benedict plate on a fluffy biscuit, topped with a perfectly poached egg. It was the perfect bite. Portions were big for small plates, but I had just enough room to share the traditional dessert flight. Oh my, it was good. Tart and creamy Key lime pie, an excellent creme brulee and a walnut crusted cheesecake with berries. Accompanied by an excellent selection of wine flights, my whole meal was terrific. My husband had the soup flight. Perfect lobster bisque, seafood gumbo and the soup of the day which was his favorite. Then he ordered the bacon flight. He loves bacon and he certainly got his fill in several forms- pork belly, candied bacon and thick, meaty spiced bacon. There was so much “bacon”, even he was unable to finish it all. He had a different wine flight that also had really good selections. I highly recommend a visit to Flights while visiting Memphis. It was the topper to our trip.More infoFlight Restaurant & Wine BarPrice: Expensive• American• Downtown•5
- SSuevipMemphis •221 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWhat a wonderful place to eat dinner! The salad bar is second to none, with both hot and cold items. Beautiful presentation only surpassed by the flavor of the items. The meat is plentiful and brought to your table for carving. Don't miss the flank steak, the sirloin, the parmesan chicken, filet and sausages! Great chocolate martini too.More infoTexas de Brazil - MemphisPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Memphis•4.5
- BBenDallas - Fort Worth •1 review5.0Dined on 30 Sept 2024Excellent in every way. The food was good but could have been better for a restaurant of this caliber. The chairs are horrific and need back pillows they r so bad. Ambience and service SUPERB. The Duck Ceremony was over the top fun and the building perfectly kept and magnificent. A wonderful evening!!!!More infoCapriccio Grill Peabody Hotel - MemphisPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown•4.2
