Staying at the Memphis Hilton this weekend and wanted advise on restaurants in the area. Something fancy for the wife. I prefer a good steak. She will probably eat some sort of seafood. Any suggestions from locals?

Buckleys Steakhouse is the best in Memphis. You may hear others but its not even close. If you want some atmosphere and a fun place for Cajun Seafood, The Bayou in midtown is a very fun place!! Sports bar atmosphere but GREAT food and fun place.Quote:

Flight downtown is my favorite restaurant.
I was looking online at all of these. We've eaten at Ruth's Chris many times but none of the others. Which is the best in your opinion?Quote:

If you like steak The Butchers Shop is great. Houstons is good too.
Southern Social in GermantownQuote:

The best restaurant in Memphis in my opinion is Andrew Michael Kitchen. It can be tough to get reservations this close though. It's classic Italian with a touch of southern American inspiration. Acre would be my next choice. Erling Jensen is French, and it is intimate, but it's never impressed me.
Going further out, Iris is amazing, but again you might have the trouble with reservations. If you want to go all the way downtown, I agree Flight is a great option.
Buckley's and the Butcher Shop have fine steaks, but they probably aren't what your wife is looking for.
Folks Folly is LEGITQuote:

Hog & Hominy, Andrew Michael, Folks Folly, Owen Brennan, Seasons 52,
Well according to OM fans on Twitter Oxford is a suburb of Memphis, and since Oxford is the greatest place to go and eat just hit the square.
Butcher Block for a steak..
If you want fancy, Erling Jensen's in sort of the midtown/east memphis border is the best restaurant in the city and it's not close. A distant second would be Folk's Folly.Quote:
