A very nice and elegant place to go to. The service is very good and friendly. The food I had was very good but did not include any main entrees. The atmosphere is very nice with a long bar on the left side and tables on the right when you enter. Being casual is not a problem but your wallet will not be casual either. However, it does not necessarily mean that you will have to dole out buckets of cash. They do have a "Prime Time" happy hour from 4-6 daily with $1.50 Gulf oysters and several other food choices as well as house wines, beers and select cocktails. I had "She-crab soup" from the main menu and "Korean duck wings" from the Prime Time menu. For dessert I had the carrot cake which was delicious and very southern. They have their own pastry chef who makes all of their desserts in house from scratch. I was not disappointed and surely recommend 117 Prime for a nice time out and for a romantic dinner date.

Really delicious steaks and a great atmosphere in Memphis. Typical steakhouse prices where everything was ala carte. Best value on the menu is the Wagyu coulotte, 8 ounces on the menu for $34. My husband ate 2 for his meal and it was cheaper than the 16 ounce ribeye. It's a very tender cut with great marbling. I had the filet and added some shrimp. We also ordered the garlic butter, regular butter, and some flakey salt which were all perfect toppers to the perfectly cooked steaks. Great options for a nice night out for keto/carnivore/low carb.

It was classic - felt like taking a step back in time. The bartender made you feel like you were at Cheers- where everybody knows your name. The drinks were superb and the food delicious. Service was impeccable.

This is a nice place with a few rules that I personally, have never experience. It may be like this for other nice restaurants. I came with a party of 12 people. I googled the menu. I understand if things that were sold, is no longer sold here, like salmon. But it was happy hour and the Prime Burger was on my radar, but you have to sit at the bar get the special or the burger. My party was meeting for the first time and there was not room for my entire party at the bar. I didn't want to be rude and leave my party.
I enjoyed the company, the crab bisque, with the dinner rolls. The dessert was good. I understand about the food menu, which caused me to order at another restaurant when I left this one, but the happy hour not being offered at the dinner table, is not. I was starving and soup and potatoes with creme brulee for dessert was $60. The server was pretty good.

An absolutely phenomenal dining experience! The service was impeccable and the food was divine! The steak was perfectly charred on the outside and a warm pink on the inside just as it was ordered...and the truffle butter...đ!!!! The crab stuffed flounder was light and flaky and seasoned to perfection. The oysters weren't the "chargrilled" we were expecting, but they were extremely fresh and plump! I highly recommend visiting soon if you haven't already!

We ate here last night and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We shared the 18 ounce bone in ribeye that was cooked medium rare to medium which is how we wanted it. The collard greens and potatoes au gratin were delicious. Our server, Chris, was very attentive and explained everything on the menu to us. The hostess was very nice and seated us promptly. The atmosphere was wonderful. We highly recommend this restaurant!

My first review of 2023 goes to one of my favorite steak houses in the city, 117 Prime! 117 prime always gives suburb service, cocktails, and food! Fairly new, they have continued to give the service that they started out with! Connected to Belle Tavern, a Memphis gem, they not only offer a fine dining atmosphere but the opportunity to switch vibes If needed. The sides are shareble, and everything is pretty much a la cart! And oh, they have this homemade worcestershire sauce that should be bottled and sold in stores!! They still have happy hour every day from 4-6 that they are opened but now their hours of operation are Tuesday - Saturday. If you haven't been, I suggest stopping by soon.
P.S I wanted to add an example of the service I always receive! I called them for a reservation for NYE and while every restaurant I called was extremely nice, 117 we above expectations! They were booked but informed me that they would have plenty of bar space and that if I came eyarly, I would have a seat. They were right! It took the hostess like 3 mins to find a space for us.

I come to this place twice a week now. I always sit at the bar... Ive experience amazing food and service every time! I love this place. Thank you to the entire staff for being welcoming. I appreciate all of you!

I was focused on taking my time and enjoying every bite and this was the best place for that. My waiter was courious, helpful, and fun. They have the best happy hour in town! Menu is solid with fair prices. I had the filet which was delightful. The Brussels sprouts were amazing and the loaded baked potato is the size of a Volkswagen. The fresh chives really set it off. Alexa visited the table to make sure everything was good. I appreciated that. I had a great experience!

Stumbled upon this gem by chance and did not regret my decision. We didnât have a reservation so opted to sit at the bar. Even with this the service was top notch to that youâd expect table-side. The staff was all hands on deck where not just our waiter made sure we were taken care of.
Onto the food itself. Steaks were cooked exactly as ordered vs. ordering at a temp lower to avoid the meat coming out overcooked (a commonality at most steakhouses). Portions were VERY generous and of good value.
In a city known mainly for itâs barbecue it can sometimes be hard to find places that donât fit into that category. Definitely give Prime a try if youâre in the mood for a nice steak. Very convenient, especially if youâre staying at the Peabody (2 minute walk).

The atmosphere was very cozy. The food was excellent, especially the mushrooms The service was superb; our waiter made sure we ordered in time for our show (Beetlejuice). She even showed us the best route back to the Orpheum theater. Overall a wonderful experience.

What an amazing time. Came through on a road trip and decided to have a nice dinner with my spouse not being a Dan of big steak houses like Ruth's Chris, etc. Man what a great ambiance and environment. Make sure to ask for the daily special. We were served this amazing tomahawk to share with all the fixings we wanted. Last but not least the price was crazy. Would come back again if ever through Memphis again.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Iâm going to be transparent and mention that our initial plans were at a restaurant nearby, but we left after feeling like we were ignored by the staff. I AM SO HAPPY WE ENDED UP HERE! As soon as we walked in we were greeted and escorted to a table. The ambiance is very nice, the lights are dim and the bar area looked spacious. My wife and I have been searching for good raw oysters in Memphis and we finally found them. The east coast oysters were so fresh and light, weâll absolutely be back. Normally I prefer red mussels over white, but these were DELICIOUS. I ate both slices of bread because I couldnât stop dipping it in the wine butter sauce. So good. The Kung pao Brussels were also delicious (shareable portion), but not as spicy as I expected. Overall, very nice dining experience and the food was great.

Fantastic scallop dish. Great service and beautiful interior. Highly recommend this place!!
Jason King
Great experience. The food was excellent and the service was on point. If I could give it 10 stars I would.
Zay Grund
We had a fantastic lunch here at their soft opening. The French onion soup was divine as a starter and salads were great too. For mains our table of three had the salmon (cooked perfectly), the crab cakes and the burger which were both excellent.
What stood out for us was the service, the staff went above and beyond to make it a pleasurable meal for us.
Highly recommend this place, perfect for a lunch date, a business lunch or a reasonably priced salad and lunch deal.
Quateshia Harden
The food was absolutely amazing, however the amount of time it took was not so great. Joey was an excellent server, she was so sweet! The entire staff was friendly and inviting. Therefore I will definitely check this place out again, but will be sure not to have plans right after. Pictured below was the Shrimp and Grits entree . I also tried the seared tuna appetizer. It was the best seared tuna snack ever!! Oh and the Caesar salad was everything my food buds ever longed for.
Pamela Howard
A great choice for a quick after work or early dinner appetizer or entrĂŠe. Happy Hour offers delicious and unique dishes, including fresh Gulf oysters 4-6pm. Drink choices are refreshing and well mixed. The staff is always friendly and welcoming.
Jason Ochoada
Went for dinner on our first grown up dinner double date in Memphis. The other couple chose 117 and it was a great choice. We were able to get a reservation easily! Maybe it was because of the game? Anyway the atmosphere was open yet felt intimate great for two couples to talk and get to know each other a little better. The service was friendly and prompt. They were faster than we were as we were talking so much! But they were friendly and patient with us. I tried a grouper dinner with curry carrots and Caesar salad with dinner and it was very good. Others tried steak and the creamed spinach and baked potato. Everyone really enjoyed their dinner and I have to also note that their house Malbec was very good. My bad for not taking notes of what it was! All and all a great time and really nice dinner for about 50-60 per person. We would certainly like to go back.

I recently had 117 Prime for lunch. Itâs in a great central location for businesses downtown.
The service was fantastic. From walking in to walking out, everyone was warm and welcoming. Our server was perfectly attentive and provided great insights on the menu. And he kept us updated on the kitchen and when we should expect our food, ensuring that our glasses were constantly filled throughout.
I ordered the salmon, which was tasty and just the right size for lunch. A couple of my friends with me ordered the burger and fries. They said the burger was just as good as the server advertised. And the fries I stole from my friendâs plate were great.
I canât wait to go back!

Finally made it to 117 Prime last night - even exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere and service throughout were impeccable, and the steaks outstanding. Avoided the temptation of the multiple available sauces, since wanted to check-out the taste of the charcoal & hickory wood grilling. They got it right for sure - not a flavor you will get elsewhere (slightly crispy on the outside with distinct flavor imparted by the charcoal/hickory wood fire - maybe should ditch the mesquite I've been using at home). With the steak, I ordered a side of the "dirty" brussel sprouts grilled/served in an iron skillet - best you'll get outside of Bavaria. Ordered the raw oysters to start, and they were great, and appropriately served on a metal tray with a shaved ice bed.

If you are looking for a first class meal -- this is the place. We had steak and we tried the lamb. It was incredible. The atmosphere is great. The bar is inviting and the wine list is really pared down to some excellent suggestions. Highly recommend.
Jordan Abidor
Had the pleasure of attending during the soft opening. This place is a MUST try. Caesar Salad was perfect with the best croutons you could dream of. Steak Frittes was wonderful, a side of spinach is a welcome addition. Very highly recommend you check this out next time you need a spot to eat downtown.
Hillary Walker
The service, the food, and the drinks are phenomenal! Not to mention the bar is a super fun and eclectic place to hang out. This place is a must whether youâre traveling through Memphis or you are lucky enough to live here. 5 stars from me again and again!
Mike Gunnell
The best dining experience ever! The food was incredible and the wait staff was the best! (Ask for Scott)
Bill Crawford
Went with friends last night. We all got the filet and it was excellent. All the food was good & the service was very good too. Weâll be back & are happy we have a true steak place downtown now.
Sal Cachola
A very impressive new premium restaurant that deserve all the stars. Service was excellent: our orders came within the time frame expected, our waiter was attentive and knew the menu well enough to give helpful advice on our orders. My lamb ribs was cook perfectly! Kudos to Chef Ryan Trimm!
Richard Parkinson
I ate dinner last night here. I also asked my girlfriend to marry me. The staff is great they took pictures, video and brought the ring out on the dessert. The food was amazing. Thx again to all the staff that made this night special for us.
Raushanah Mikki Crenshaw
The service was excellent, as was the food. My only concern was the issue with the check, somehow I was charged 23% tax on a $23 bill. Thankfully the manager corrected the issue but that was confusing and Iâm not sure how their system was able to make that kind of mistake.
Jerry Parker
Best steak ever. I've been to all the greats. One of their 8 choices of steak sauces will explode the palate.
Jim Turner
Great atmosphere and equally great food. Top five steak in my lifetime. Canât go wrong
