This is truly a fine dining establishment! I went to the original Mahogany several years ago when…read morethey had just opened and I could see that they were working on creating a nice environment, but this is a completely different level. First, I was not clear exactly where the entrance was. Once I found the front door, it initially felt like I was walking through a back room or a service entrance because I immediately saw some restrooms and an elevator. And I was thinking, "oh ok". But then, I entered the main vestibule and saw the amazing architecture and river view and truly understood why "River Terrace" was included in the entrance. I don't often enjoy fine-dining experiences and really was looking for something rather simple. I was with my globe trotting cousin and she was all in. The maître d' was incredibly gracious and kind. He sat us at a table with an outstanding view. Our server was equally patient and knowledgeable of the menu selections and what would be best for me to try. My cousin was torn between the lamb chops or oxtails and was told that people literally cancel their reservations if oxtails are unavailable. I opted for the Johnnie Cat, which consisted of blackened catfish that was topped with shrimp & crawfish Julie over dirty rice. My cousin did not like her oxtails; she thought it was too salty and just "ok". She wishes she could've tried the lamb chops. We also had the crab & spinach dip as an appetizer. I thought it was very delicious and plentiful. I had enjoy leftover to have with my lunch and dinner the next day. I also had enjoy catfish leftover for lunch. In other words, they serve very ample portions. To round out our evening, the maître d' took our photos at sunset. Overall, this is definitely the finest experience that I've ever had in Memphis.

The food has never missed. But the service is another story, and without it, even great food falls flat. I've dined here about four times and kept giving them the benefit of the doubt, especially as a Black-owned business I want to see thrive. Today, though, I have to be honest. We had a 1:30 reservation and were seated promptly, then waited. By 2pm, we still hadn't been greeted or offered water. When I asked the hostess if we'd been assigned a server, she confirmed we had. He brought water ten minutes later, then disappeared again for another 15. We ordered everything at once, drinks, appetizers, entrees, out of fear he wouldn't return. Food arrived slowly and out of order. By then we were 90 minutes into our reservation and had already paid for two hours of parking. One friend's wings came out well before her side salad. Two others' fish dishes arrived cold and had to be sent back to be microwaved. Our apps hadn't arrived by the time our food came so we just cancelled the order. Everyone agreed the seasoning and flavors were excellent, but the long waits, inattentive service, and temperature issues overshadowed the meal. At these prices, with an automatic 20% gratuity, my friend joked "maybe we should've just ordered online." It landed, because that's really what it felt like. I won't be recommending Mahogany Memphis for now, but I genuinely hope they turn things around. The food deserves service that matches it.

The Redfish Clemenceau is one dish that is sure to please. Redfish with panko breading, peas, potatoes, and mushroom in a light sauce, I really enjoyed. I am not a fan of all things fish, but I did venture out and I'm glad I did. I have also had the bread pudding and cheesecake, with the bread pudding being my favorite. Oysters are half price on Tuesday and I enjoyed the raw oysters better than the chargrilled. The chargrilled didn't taste chargrilled, because I could only taste the Parmesan, no garlic butter flavor at all. Oh as for appetizers, the bone marrow and crab au gratin, were great as well. I have tried so much in those two visits I can't remember everything! Fried oyster salad is full of oysters and less salad with blue cheese dressing that does not overpower the dish.

We did agree that the olive flavor overpowered the experience of the bone marrow flavor. It was difficult to differentiate the flavors. For entrees, we ordered the red fish and the fillet au gratin. The red fish was perfected, the mixture of texture and flavors was delicious. The fillet ordered medium, was slightly overcooked to medium well. It was still tender and enjoyable. As this was our anniversary, the menus were specially tailored to congratulate our special day. Having the menu rolled and tied to go was also a special touch. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. As for drinks, we had the fire (something) which was an extremely Smokey flavor which sounded good at the time but I did not enjoy. We also ordered the Bearded Iris IPA which was fantastic. Cold, crisp, and flavorful. Before our departure we were comped a small bite of chocolate flourless cake for our anniversary which was tasty! This was a special night and we enjoyed it. The restrooms even had lint rollers and feminine products! There was intimate seating and lighting for the tables, which was much appreciated.

They did have a bar setup but no bartenders, made drinks in the front. The Food!!!! 10/10 and I will solely keep going for that fried catfish. My whole table had them. 1-2 pieces on catfish each. It's that good. I got some tenders with fries and a side of the spicy honey gold sauce. Best sauce that I had in awhile. Our waitresses Kim & Patrice were phenomenal to us the entire night. Anything that we wanted, we got it. For a Saturday night, they were on point with the service. The Chef also keep checking in on us too and that's something you typically don't see. Going the the bathroom, you can see artwork displayed. The bathroom has mouthwash as well. Perfect for ending the night.

Never again. While…read morethe food itself was good, the service was among the worst I've experienced. We ordered tacos that were brought to the table without plates. After requesting plates, silverware, and napkins, none of those items ever arrived, leaving us to eat without basic utensils or proper place settings. We also ordered water and were told there would be a charge, which was fine--but the water never came. Unfortunately, that was only one of several service issues we encountered throughout our visit. Good food can only go so far when the overall dining experience is this frustrating. Based on the lack of attention to customers and poor follow-through on even the simplest requests, I would not return and cannot recommend this restaurant. Save yourself the disappointment and choose another venue.

Five stars simply aren't enough. This deserves twenty…read more My husband and I are food people. We travel extensively, we eat everywhere, and we've been fortunate enough to have some truly extraordinary dining experiences over the years. So when I say that Porch & Parlor may be one of the best overall restaurant experiences we've ever had, that is not something I say lightly. And it started before we even made it through the front door. The restaurant itself is absolutely charming from the outside -- whitewashed brick, Southern, understated and beautiful. But before either of us could even reach for the door handle, a gentleman appeared with the warmest smile and opened it for us. Such a tiny thing, perhaps, but it immediately set the tone for the entire evening: You are our guest, and we are delighted you're here. Inside, three lovely attendants greeted us at the front, all smiles and genuine Southern hospitality. We had reservations and were seated immediately in the most gorgeous, moody dining room. Elegant lighting, beautiful raised paneling, rich finishes -- classic steakhouse without feeling stuffy or predictable. As a miniature artist, I spent an embarrassing amount of time mentally figuring out how I could recreate those fabulous light fixtures in miniature. And then came Wade. For years -- and I mean years -- my husband and I have had a benchmark for exceptional service: a wonderful gentleman named Seth in Birmingham who was exceptional at what he did that we still talk about him. Well, Seth... you finally have competition. Wade is an absolute gem. Charming, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and incredibly intuitive, he possesses that rare ability to actually read a table. He listened. He remembered. He made recommendations without ever making us feel "sold." He helped my husband choose a bourbon, shared little tidbits and stories with us, picked up on our personalities and genuinely connected with us. And the timing of this meal was impeccable. We never once felt rushed, yet we never found ourselves wondering where the next course was. Nothing arrived too quickly. Nothing lingered too long. Wade was there exactly when we wanted him and somehow invisible when we didn't need him. The entire evening just moved along smooth as silk. That kind of service is an art, and Wade has it. Of course, none of that would matter if the food didn't deliver. It absolutely did. The steaks were phenomenal, the meal was incredible from beginning to end, and oddly enough, that fabulous bacon rack may be one of the things we talk about forever. It's delicious, ridiculous, memorable and exactly the sort of thing you want to order when you're out having a wonderful evening. By the end, we were far too full for dessert -- which naturally meant we ordered dessert. My husband knew exactly what he wanted. I was torn between two choices, so finally I told Wade, "Go into the kitchen, choose your favorite and surprise me. I don't even want to know what it is. I'll find out when I get back to the hotel." The man understood the assignment. He chose the cheesecake, and good heavens. It was lighter than a cloud, with these gorgeous cherries in a rich syrup whose tartness cut through the creamy cheesecake beautifully, alongside vanilla ice cream that somehow pulled the entire thing together. I opened that box back at the hotel and knew immediately that Wade had once again made exactly the right call. But what really makes Porch & Parlor remarkable is that Wade wasn't the exception. Every single person we encountered -- from the gentleman at the door, to the front desk, to everyone who touched our table -- was gracious, polished, welcoming and genuinely lovely. You can serve an extraordinary steak in a beautiful room and have a great restaurant. But when the hospitality is every bit as exceptional as the food, you create an experience. Porch & Parlor did exactly that. We were told this was considered one of the very best steakhouses in Tennessee. After dining there, I completely understand why. In fact, forget Tennessee. This is one of the best steakhouse experiences we've had anywhere. And Wade, if you happen to read this: Seth held that title for a very long time, young man. You earned this one. Five stars feels woefully inadequate. Give them twenty.

First, the food was excellent. The wagyu deviled eggs, the steak quality and preparation and…read moreespecially the bone marrow au poivre special sauce. The kitchen knocked it out of the park. I could drink that bone marrow au poivre sauce it was so good. Second, my service expectations when spending in excess of $2,000 for a party of seven ($700 of which was wine) are a touch above what I'd expect from a chain steakhouse and I certainly expect honesty that what I order is what I am served. In short, my first-world problem with Porch and Parlor is the vintages on their wine list do not reflect what they serve you. They were zero for two on both bottles I ordered and it matters when you pay $550 for a bottle of 2013 Dom Perignon (served 2017) and $133 for 2019 Heitz Cabernet Sauvignon (served 2022). I caught both instances in real time and the sommelier was crestfallen but powerless. Then I had to pour my own wine after it was decanted and left out of reach on a trolley alongside of our table - my server disappeared for the duration of the meal after food was served and never realized she missed out on the fun. I had to stand up a couple of times, grab a huge, elaborate decanter and awkwardly pour for my guests seated around a circular table (ambience is also very nice there BTW). Autogratuity added 20% tip and I added $100 on top of that because as the host I didn't want my guests to be aware of any issues and they had a great time - I covered for the restaurant's failures and paid a premium to do it. I let a week pass to see if I was still bothered by the experience and I was (am). My first solution was to call the restaurant to ask for the GM's email so I could email him/her, one-to-one, about my experience and keep it out of the public forum. That's what I would have wanted if the shoe were on the other foot. After my first call and a long, long hold I hung up. Waited forty minutes and tried again. After a two minute hold a gentleman named Chris came on the call and asked how he could help. I told him the above story, told him I don't want anything from him other than him to win and be successful which, in my view, includes not misrepresenting wine vintages because real dollars are involved when you say you have something worth $700 and what you sneakily try to serve customers is worth a lot less, service aside. Long story longer, he told me (paraphrasing) "yeah, I hate that for you but it's too much of a pain in the butt to print a fresh wine list so we are just going to keep doing that." Fine. Caveat Emptor for the rest of you who order wine there. Maybe just order the Caymus. For me, being rooked always negates any positive experience I may have had.
