Tartare
Koby

Porch and Parlor is the best steak experience in Memphis. The interior is warmly lit and rather dark lending itself to a more intimate atmosphere, but they also have ample outdoor seating right on Overton Square. A prime location for a prime steakhouse. The service was strong as was the pacing. I found the server a bit too eager to explain the restaurant and the menu. I'm a ribeye eater so I had a pretty good idea I was getting a ribeye before I went in. I think the talking is used as a way to upsell and push guests towards opaquely priced off-menu "specials" which from my understanding are always on offer (such as their deviled eggs and bone marrow sauce). We started with the beef tartare and duck ravioli. I preferred the tartare, which had a nice spicy seasoning throughout. The duck ravioli had an excellent sauce on it, too. For our mains, I got the prime boneless ribeye ($68) and my brother got the prime strip ($56). We also shared the Yume A5 Wagyu experience ($225), letting us try three different cuts of Wagyu side by side. For sides (about $15/each), we did the fontina potatoes, truffle honey tots, and carrots. We also added the gulf prawns ($21), foie gras ($14), and bone marrow sauce (~$20) which was prepared table side and was plenty to share. It was very rich and peppery, though a bit of a salt bomb. For dessert, we shared the French toast bread pudding with maple butter ($14) which is one of my favorite bread puddings I've tried. They also brought my brother a dessert since it was his birthday, it was something like a raspberry mousse with coconut foam and a sharp raspberry sauce. Excellent. The Yume experience was a big motivation in coming here, as getting to try cuts of A5 Wagyu next to cuts of regular (albeit prime) beef is unique in the Memphis area and really for hours around. It was priced as an experience rather than a food item. It did not disappoint, nor did the prime steaks. The A5 is so unbelievably tender by comparison. My favorite was the ribeye, but I'm biased. My brother, normally a strip guy, agreed with me there. The potato sides were underwhelming, particularly for the price. I don't know how I let my brother talk me into buying him $15 tater tots for his birthday. I could get the carrots again, though. My total was $800 for the two of us for the above food, six cocktails, and tax and tip. A big chunk of that was the Yume experience as well as the drinks (we were celebrating!). If we were to go back, it would be closer to $350 for the two of us, and I would go for the prime ribeye with foie gras again, no need for Wagyu or sauce. I enjoy the sister restaurants in this restaurant group (Coastal Fish, Flight, Southern Social) and frankly I'd bet Porch is the cash cow of the group due to the relatively poor value proposition. We had a great experience exploring the finest steak and accompaniments one could wish for. But, for my money, Coastal does a pretty good steak too.

Scallop and Oxtail with grits
Annie T.

What a divine experience at Porch and Parlor. I was in town for work and decided to try this place. We started with the lobster stuffed mushrooms. Super yummy and rich, in a good way. Scallops and oxtail were so so wonderful. Camille was a dream and gave superior service. Thank you for a memorable dinner! Can't wait to go back and try other menu items.

A5 Wagyu Deviled Eggs Appetizer
Kaitlyn K.

A great place for a celebration and a good meal! We sat on the enclosed porch and it had nice views of midtown, and wasn't too crowded. The restaurant was clean and service staff was very helpful. They answered all our questions and went above and beyond to make our celebration special. The A5 Wagyu Deviled Eggs were amazing - and your server prepares the Wagyu in front of you. It was a fun touch! Our steaks and sides were cooked to perfection. We even had some to take home to relive the dinner. Dessert was prepared fresh and did not miss a beat. The molten cake was rich and creamy. The brûlée was smooth and beautifully presented. Cocktails did not miss. The bar is full service and stocked with whatever your heart desires. We stuck to the menu with our dinner cocktails and loved them! Our dessert cocktails were balanced and just what we needed to end the night. Overall - lovely place. Great experience here with the meal and staff. I would recommend going if you're looking for an intimate steakhouse experience.

This whole restaurant is a vibe. When I say the waiters are super helpful and kind. The atmosphere was top-level I didn't want to leave. All the food brought to the table was so Good. The eggrolls were so delicious my taste buds were going crazy. This was my first time trying fresh oysters and my goodness I felt like I was in heaven. The Duck Confit Ravioli was life-changing. I almost slapped my momma it was so delicious. Louisiana Redfish with the Jambalaya risotto cake and green onion white wine cream sauce had me already thinking about when my next reservation lol very delicious. The whole meal was so Good. If you haven't been to Porch and Parlor get there fast! You will not be disappointed. Thank you for the amazing experience .

NY strip and creamed corn brulee
Lauren G.

It has turned into a little bit of a tradition to visit for our anniversary. Porch and Parlor is a treat for us. The service is on point. Attentive and helpful, but not overwhelming. I like that the waiters seem to really love recommending items, it makes me think they actually try the specials and are excited about them. Aden was our server and she was great. We had beef tartare which was awesome. My husband had the tuna entree and I had a NY strip with creamed corn brulee. My steak was cooked well with a great sear and flavor on the outside. But yall that corn brulee was the star. Just trust me lol.

Tuna Carpaccio

Service is impeccable. Food is delicious. Drinks are amazing. First time trying but will certainly be back. Definitely give them a try.

Porch and Parlor was a delightful surprise on our first night in Memphis, and in such a cute area. We ordered a variety of food to share, along with cocktails, and the tableside deviled eggs, which were fun to watch. Everything was fantastic. The egg rolls and lobster bisque were especially delicious, and the variety of old-fashioned cocktails totally won me over. It has a classic and old-school feel, so dress nicely!

A lovely birthday dinner at Porch and Parlor. This was my first visit and I was very pleased with the hospitality of the staff. The valet is on the side of the restaurant and it is complimentary. The front desk staff and greeter/hostess were all very nice and friendly. My friends and I were seated on the covered patio, it was chilly outside, but the covered patio has heaters and it stayed warm once staff made sure the patio door to leave stayed closed. We were seated next to the area where the waitstaff go in and out, it wasn't bad, I'd just ask to be seated elsewhere due to the constant in and out traffic. Now what did we order you ask?? Boneless Ribeye NY Strip Filet Cream brûlée corn (Absolutely delicious) Creamed spinach( very good) Brussel sprouts ( I had one Brussel sprout.. if you like them order them) Loaded potatoes ( similar to potatoes au gratin but fancier ) Mac and cheese Collard greens(sugar in the greens to cut the bitterness but too much sugar for my liking) Bacon Flight if you love bacon...order it! Don't question if it's good because it will be delicious. Chopped salad( it was ok, different ingredients than your normal garden salad, but good combination) has black eyed peas and celery if you're not a fan . Strawberry shortcake Everyone enjoyed the meal and sides. The sides are family style. The menu is à la carte if ordering steaks, they do offer entrees that come with sides that can be substituted for a fee. Mocktail menu offered along with cocktails and wine. The entire experience from valet, hostess, greeter, waitress, manager, everyone was so pleasant. I'd definitely return. Oh we also had the egg rolls, the sauce is a Thai style chili sauce. They were my least favorite because of the sweetness of the sauce but everyone else enjoyed them.

Sea Bass.  I would order the topping on the side next time as it was a bit sweet.  Potatoes were sooo good.

Creative menu. Deviled eggs were excellent and the crispy garlic made it as much as the wagyu.

Julie G.

The food here is phenomenal... we had the bacon appetizer starting out which was delicious... we had the lobster pasta special of the evening and it was also delicious the lamb chops and the filet were also amazingly good. Love the atmosphere here and the location is perfect ... Emily was very attentive and we had a great time with her ... Thank you for the beautiful food and hospitality

Lobster Angel hair Pasta
Brit M.

I picked this restaurant for my birthday dinner and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. We parked in valet behind the building and walked to the door. We were greeted by staff and instantly I received warm birthday wishes. They also offered a cost check. Once seated, we waited about 2/3 minutes before being greeted by our waitress. She was very sweet and attentive. For dinner, I ordered the seafood special which was an angel hair lobster pasta. Very delicious and tasty! After dinner, the waitress brought me a nice (and delicious) birthday dessert! We enjoyed our time and overall great experience!

Bill for Two

I was disappointed in the dining experience. The food was good to average. The service was average and friendly. I was irritated by the fact that my family member and I was seated in the party section with a very loud group celebrating. The noise caused me to feel ill and my head began hurting. The wait staff were slow at moving our seating. Therefore, I had to step outside for fresh air and to regain my composure. The experience did not meet my expectations for fine dining in a upscale restaurant. The quality does not match the $400+ bill which includes a tip.

Louisiana jambalaya redfish
Alexis T.

We enjoyed our date night at P&P. Our early reservation allowed for a beautiful view of midtown as well as watching the sun settle. We shared the wagyu egg rolls which were absolutely delicious. The chili sauce made them even better. I had the Louisiana jambalaya redfish and the only thing that really completed it was the crisp risotto cake, otherwise not great. The signature filet, my husband stated that it was a standard cut and that for $65, he could've got a steak at a Longhorn for less of the price & compared taste. We finished with the Toffee bread pudding which was supreme. Absolutely delicious. The appetizer and dessert made up for the lack of love in the entrees. We loved the elegant atmosphere, dim lighting, classical music & the high quality customer service, however. We'd go back if friends invited us. Otherwise it was a one and done experience.

Went to Non-Vintage for the first time to see Edie Bake Oven and her beautiful ladies perform. If I…read morecould give a review for Edie alone, it would be 5 stars. She carried this review up to the 3 I'm giving Non-Vintage. First of all, there was a severe deficiency of seating and staff for this event. No one greeted us when we entered, we moved chairs ourselves to make an accommodating space out of the way of the performers, and at no point did a member of staff take our order outside of waiting at the bar. The line for the bar was right in the way of the performers, and many people were forced to wait 10+ minutes for a drink order because there was only one bartender working. Another staff member had offered to help, and the bartender DECLINED, forcing us to continue to wait. I did try the wings and the charcuterie, they were good. I tried the nonalcoholic hibiscus drink and the nonalcoholic summer cooler drink. The summer cooler was much better in my opinion, but both were good nonalcoholic options. I think I would like to try this place when they are not hosting an event, I'm sure it's lovely when they are staffed appropriately for the shift. However, I was sorely disappointed tonight being forced to wait nearly an hour at the bar, missing parts of the show and on my feet for just a drink.

So I was excited to come try something else. On the plus side, the bathroom was so nicely decorated. It was also very clean. I sat at the end of the bar, beside the little section of books. The bartender was nice. I ordered the Ember&Passion cocktail. Although it was pretty good, it was quite mild. Unexpected with the ingredients in it. I was surprised that the level of expected heat was not very detectable. I give it 7/10. When I came here before in the winter, the temperature was perfect and I don't remember being too bothered that they don't have cocktail napkins. But yesterday it was quite warm in the restaurant and not having these napkins wasn't good. Nobody in the restaurant had any type of napkin under any drink! I noticed that just like mine, every glass of water from every patron had a puddle of condensation under the glass. Each time I picked up my glass of water, it would drip onto my food and clothes. My two menus got so wet. I suppose they made this decision to save themselves a lot of money. As for the food: My parmesan truffle fries were excellent!! Hot, crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked in the middle. Best I've had in a long time. The Alabama white sauce on the side was just your typical sauce. It tasted just like every other Alabama white sauce that I've had so was not disappointing. But I actually ended up not using it because it was too thin and it didn't add anything to the fries. The fries were excellent enough on their own. I ordered my burger "pink" but there wasn't any pink to it, but I wasn't that bothered about it. Burger and the toppings were tasty, except for the fried green tomato. Looking closely at the picture, you can see that it was SO SMALL compared to the size of the burger. When a restaurant does that, don't they realize that it makes for a glaring disappointment?! It apparently came from near the end of the tomato, and not the middle. If you are going to offer a fried green tomato on a burger, then I feel as if you should only use the larger slices of the tomato, and save the smaller ends for maybe putting in salads. I've always been obsessed with fried green tomatoes. After having my first two bites of burger and still not reaching the tomato, I took it off to eat by itself. Sadly, it tasted terrible! I was surprised. Obviously, they didn't season the tomato or the batter. (Salt and pepper go a long way.) The burger toppings apparently made the tomato batter not only soggy, but also this strange thick texture. Like mushy and chewy at the same time. 1/10 Worst problem: FLIES!!! So many flies! When I just had my drink but no food yet, I noticed them but was not bombarded by them at that point. It wasn't until my food came. All of a sudden I was literally surrounded by them. They were everywhere! No exaggeration. I actually had to use only one hand to eat and the other hand to constantly move back and forth over my food. I eventually gave up and set the plate of some of my fries about 4 inches in front of my burger in order to hopefully draw the flies to the fries so that I could eat my burger. Unfortunately, after only four bites of my burger, when I set it down to take a drink of water, a fly landed on it within one second. Obviously, that was my last bite, and even when I was moving the plate closer to the end of the counter, two more flies landed on it. The glass of straws was inches from me. That, and the book closest to me seemed to be where they gathered to wait for their opportunity to dive bomb me. So many of them! It turned my stomach when I realized that I had been drinking from a straw with my water and I'm sure there had been flies on it before I got there. Every person that gets a straw in their drink at this restaurant has had a fly sitting on top of it. When the bartender told me about the desserts, it turned my stomach to think of just how many flies were in the kitchen. Had I known the fly situation was that bad when I first got my drink, I would have never stayed there, and I certainly would have never ordered food. I do think it is a real shame because the winter months are a totally different experience in that restaurant. But because of how horrible it was this time, I just can't ever come back.

Alright, lets get into this…read more.. Walking in I was pleasantly surprised...Flight is in a tough location because parking isnt exactly ideal but as soon as you walk up, a hostess opens the door and welcomes you in. I didnt get photos of the restaurant but they have a really cool split floor design, we got to sit upstairs. I recommend you sit upstairs it possible because the first floor gets louder faster if that makes sense. Plenty of very attentive and friendly staff so you will need for nothing while you are there. Now for the food...we started off with the SNAKE RIVER FARMS WAGYU CARPACCIO. It was . My only critique if I had one; I wish it had a little more carpaccio. Now before I get into entree's let me explain how "Flight" works...You can order a single large entree for dinner, orrrrrrr, if you're like me and LOVE food, you can order a flight of three smaller portions of the entree's! Bring your appetite (and your platinum card). I ordered a three entree flight of Bison Ribeye, roasted duck breast and the chilean sea bass. I would rank them in that order although they were all delicious. That bison tho.... The wife ordered a three entree flight of the prime ribeye, sea scallops, and the twin lobster tails. She wasnt a huge fan of the prime ribeye, she said it was a little tough. She loved the scallops and lobster (although she will never forgive herself for dropping a huge piece of lobster on the floor). Oh and her scallops came with this gnocchi that was TO DIE FOR!!!! We finished the night off with a three dessert flight of pistachio mousse, lava cake and apple walnut cobbler. The pistachio mousse was light and refreshing on a hot summer day. She loved her apple cobbler. We werent huge fans of the lava cake. It just didnt have that nostalgic lava cake taste and texture. That and the peppermint gelato it came with was very strong on the peppermint. Im sure some would love it but it just wasnt for us. Last piece Ill mention is just the effort and attention to detail. It was our anniversary and they brought us complimentary glasses of champagne (thank you). They are very deliberate in how they move, their table settings and our server knew her restaurant like a pro. Even down to the way they stage your silverware knowing how their flight plates take up table space. Bravo, Great experience! Definitely a little too pricey to be a frequent spot, but great for special occasions!

All 3 were so good and left no crumbs. The ceviche was refreshing with each bite. Scallop was buttery and cooked perfectly. I loved that the Benedict came over handmade biscuit. So soft and flaky!

I'm used to going to cigar lounges where you have a variety of cigars to choose from, but at this establishment, they pick one out for you based on what you normally prefer. Ironically, my husband and I had very different taste in cigars but ended up with the same cigar. Not sure what happened but we went with it. The drinks are all served in a ceramic cup which I believe they were trying to go for the prohibition theme, except our drinks were room temperature, not chilled or iced. For an old fashion and a lemon drop, you need the drink to be at least chilled. Because it was in a small ceramic cup, I feel like my cocktail was incredibly small, it was warm and it did not taste good. They nickeled and dimed us on the bill by charging us for the cocktail and the liquor separately then they charged a mandatory 20 percent tip after they handed us the signed copy of the bill with a tip suggestion of 10, 15, or 20 percent. No where does it state that a mandatory 20 percent tip was included in the final bill and why would you suggest I give you an additional tip after you already charged me a mandatory 20 percent? That is shady. Overall, the lounge was dark and the seating was pretty average. The cost for drinks and for how it taste was not worth it. The inability to pick your cigar limits your options and the fact they didn't disclose that a mandatory 20 percent tip, would make me not want to come back.
