Restaurants near Rodney Baber Park

This was our first time into Tekila Steakhouse, and we were delighted. We were celebrating a birthday in a party of 6 (three couples). (Originally, it was going to be 8, so they can accommodate bigger groups if you need them to.) Our reservation was for 830pm on a Saturday, which was all they had available when I booked it out about 3 weeks early. The place was packed. There were people waiting, even that late, for something to come open. The first round of drinks was a little slow to reach the table, but I think that was in part to the waitress bringing 3 different wines over for presentation and approval (which was nice but unnecessary). The sheer number of people in the place would create that situation, too, and we all had water, which was refilled while we waited for the cocktails and such. The food was lovely. My boyfriend and I had the Jasper Oysters and the octopus dish for appetizers. Fabulous. I got the Chipotle Lobster pasta dish (divine!) and he got the Birria Tacos. They brought him a pretty birthday sweet at the end, which was nice. There were two different steaks ordered at our table, and they were prepared tableside, which was neat to see. You'll want to keep your share plate, though, so that you can pull the meat off the hot stone to avoid overcooking. There was an automatic 18% gratuity on our ticket, assumedly because we were a party of 6. I don't mind auto-grat and actually wish they'd default to the typical 20%, but we were able to add more to the ticket for our great server, Jessica. We had a lovely night, and I actually liked that the place was bustling because we can get loud, too. Having it be a noisier place was nice because it allowed us not to worry about laughing too hard or cheers-ing too loud. We all had a great time! Highly recommend, but definitely make a reservation.

Thank you for another beautiful time celebrating a birthday! The drinks and food were yummy. Our server was very attentive and kind. We will be back for sure!!

We attend Porch & Parlor Prime for our Anniversary for the first time. Our Host Blake was the best. The ambience indeed restaurant was everything. The food was all around perfect and came out hot. Every dish we tried was a100. We will definitely be back to dine soon.

Took my mom for lunch and had a great time. Very clean and modern with views of the outside and some Memphis art to enjoy. My mom loved the salmon and I had a good ol burger - all wonderful. Great service and will be back.

Our wait staff was excellent. Sorry I did not make note of her name. Monday night the 18th front of the house.
