My server and the sommelier were very helpful. I had a vodka martini, a dozen excellent oysters and a bone-in steak which was cooked perfectly. Not a cheap choice but well worth it.

And they did the same with 117 Prime when they recreated the traditional American steakhouse. Located at 117 Union Avenue, in downtown Memphis, a block from the Peabody Hotel, it is open from 4 to 10 Tuesday through Saturday and offers a classic dining room with a stylish bar. Love the menu. My wife and started with shrimp cocktail, French onion soup and Caesar salad with Romaine, Caesar dressing, anchovies and grilled croutons. For an entree, my wife chose a deviled crab stuffed flounder with spinach, shiitake batter and crisp sweet potatoes. Of all the seafood we eat on a regular basis, flounder is one of the most delicious. I couldn't pass up a premium steak at a steakhouse. I opted for a 10-ounce filet of Angus beef with bearnaise sauce, potatoes au gratin and grilled asparagus. The dessert menu is first-class, too. After a lengthy deliberation, we decided to share a chocolate tart with caramel sauce and an apple and peach cobbler with French vanilla ice cream. 117 Prime checks all the boxes...atmosphere, food, service.
