Best Steak Restaurants in Southeast Memphis

My wife and I recently celebrated our anniversary at The Capital Grille in Memphis, and the experience was outstanding from the moment we walked in. The host staff greeted us warmly and immediately wished us a happy anniversary with big smiles. When we were seated, we found a beautifully set table with a single rose and a handwritten note acknowledging our special occasion—a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the evening. Our server, James, was incredible. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel like VIPs throughout the meal. We would absolutely ask for him again on a future visit. The managers also checked in on us and ensured we felt important and valued as customers, which speaks volumes about the level of service at this restaurant. As for the food, we both ordered steak, and while my wife’s was cooked to perfection, mine was slightly overdone. When I casually mentioned it to James, he immediately checked on it and offered to make sure the center was cooked to my preference. It was a bit unexpected since you’d assume a steak would be consistent throughout, but honestly, the flavor was excellent, and I didn’t feel the need to bring it up again. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, making it an ideal setting for a special occasion. Overall, The Capital Grille provided an exceptional dining experience with outstanding service, great ambiance, and delicious food. We will definitely return and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable night out in Memphis.

It was Valentine's Day, so the restaurant was very busy, and the noise level was very high. Overall though, we had a great time and a great meal.

I can't begin to tell you that I had an EXEMPLARY dining experience! Ms. Sonya is an absolutely AMAZING server, along with the other servers who came to my table, I believe my table number was 47. The manager was showed us nothing but pure hospitality! Thank you for a wonderful dining experience, an enjoyable evening, and a beautiful memory.

The arrive and food is always fantastic!!! My wife and I have eaten at Southern Social several times and it’s consistently a wonderful experience. We always make reservations and they’re always ready for us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our impromptu dinner at Grisanti’s Monday night. Our server was excellent, placed our drink order and reviewed the specials. The prosciutto wrapped shrimp appetizer should be a full time addition to the menu. The toasted ravioli is a classic, and we saved the sauce for our bread throughout the meal. DH had the chicken leontini, which again a classic, good as always (better the next day as leftovers, YUM!). I had the tortellini. This is a dish I have skipped over because of memories of tortellini from childhood (store bought, thick and doughy, filled with cheese). These tortellini were light and delicate, filled with a mixture of meats, and served in a very light sauce/broth. I cannot believe I’ve gone without ordering this before. We were so full we skipped desserts. Looking forward to our next meal!
