Flight Restaurant & Wine Bar

I’ve always loved this place, and idk why I’m just now writing a review. I would come for special occasions, I.e birthday, anniversary and it’s always a 5 star dining experience! There is valet parking so you don’t have to worry about parking somewhere near by down town. And the flight pairing with the wines suggested are chef’s kiss! Appetizers that are good are the beef Wellington and the seafood trio. A friend had the deviled eggs and killed them so I’m assuming that’s good too. Highly recommend this place!

Nov 17 had a most special birthday dinner here. The plated food absolute works of art. The taste, indescribable! Enjoyed every savored bite of my selections for the evening which consisted of lobster/scallop/Wagyu beef/chicken and waffles and a harvest salad second to none! So grateful to have received by my crème brûlée happy birthday candled surprise. Miss Vanessa is the epitome of superb fine dining servicing. She’s a native to the area and is a wealth of knowledge to us visiting the area for the first time. Warms my heart how proud she is of her city and all of the positive it offers. Cannot thank Flight enough for this special evening fitting us in. 4:30 upstairs overlooking the entire restaurant below truly magical :)

It was an excellent experience. The food was high quality, well cooked, and the staff was amazing. Top notch customer service with attention to each person dining. I had the fish flight. It did not disappoint. It was more than enough for me. The wine and cocktails list is large and the drinks were well made. I enjoyed the complete experience. I will be returning often.

Fabulous place, great concept. The service was great, beautiful resturant. The food is absolutely delicious. Wine flights, soup flights, main small plate flights. Siply fantastic.

Chef Ed surpassed our expectations in making a gluten free Beef Wellington. After always being told other restaurants can’t make it GF, Chef Ed said I’ll do it!! Boy!! Did he ever!!! Wow!!! He made sure all my allergies were taken into account and he made sure everything was safe and delicious!! Thank you Chef!!

Fun and delicious restaurant! We'd never been before and really enjoyed trying the flights. We had the salad flight, the seafood flight, the a dessert flight and a wine flight. Everything was excellent including our servers. Would definitely go back if we are in Memphis again!

This very well may be one of the best meals I have ever enjoyed. The service was top notch. The ambiance was perfect. A little dark, cozy, and comfortable. The flight options were perfection. Every dish that came out was cooked to perfection. The desserts were absolutely perfect. The cost is high, but the value is tremendous.

Top notch food and service. The lobster ravioli and BBQ shrimp were especially tasty. My surf and turf flight was cooked perfectly with the chimichurri sauce being a highlight.

Delish and great service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everytime! Surf N' Turf flight and the Pinot Noir flight were to die for! Had a wonderful 40th Birthday dinner! The creme brulee birthday treat was so sweet! Thank you!

Great fun experience and surprisingly affordable fine concept dining. The wine selection was a bit limited but there were some pleasant surprises on a couple of the flights (loved the tiny bubbles flight especially). All the meat we had was perfectly cooked. Some of the dishes were well crafted and balanced (duck with sweet potatoes and pecans, and the mashed potatoes with sour cream were elegantly flavored) and some less imaginative (albeit well made, I don't expect mac&cheese, steamed asparagus or plain veggies at this kind of establishment). Desserts were good. Portions - both main and dessert - were big. My husband barely managed to finish his main course (I did not stand a chance) and we sadly had to leave more than half of the dessert unfinished. There just was no more room. Service was efficient, atmosphere fun and elegant. Loved the white table cloths and silverware.

Flight more than lived up to its reputation. Love the theme and execution. What made the night was amazing service. Lexi was a phenomenal host at the bar. Extremely knowledgeable of the menu with great suggestions. Bar program is more than on point. Highly suggest this gem.

What an experience. If I were asked to describe this place in two words: creative genius. To give the diner their choice of one entree or select up to three small entrees (flights) is a great concept. The staff was very cordial. Kate, my server, provided excellent suggestions. Do not be afraid to mix and match. Oh, the beef wellingtons were so good. If I am in Memphis again, I am definitely making reservations.

NEXT LEVEL!!! This restaurant group has done it again. What an incredible experience with the atmosphere, the presentation, the service, and the food. Flight, Coastal, Porch and Parlor - they’re all amazing. It’s no surprise as to why these restaurants are ranked highest in Memphis. We started with the ocean appetizer flight and it was very good. New Orleans bbq shrimp, crab cake, and lobster ravioli all tasted exceptional. The form and the flavors were amazing. We then had a soup and salad flight with the wedge (amazing blue cheese dressing), lobster bisque, and loaded potato soup. The soups were so rich and so flavorful. For our main course we had pieces from several flights. We had the shrimp and grits, lobster and crab Benedict, Boursin stuffed filet, chicken and waffles, and seafood stuffed flounder. I cannot even describe for you how incredible everything tasted. They’re versions of foods you may have had in the past, but much better. Shareable as well. For dessert we had a flight with a peanut butter brownie (best I’ve ever eaten), chocolate chip cookie cake, and banana’s foster bread pudding. The pastry chef is worth EVERY PENNY. You think you’ve had these desserts before. No sir. You have not. These are creations of the desserts and they’re spectacular!! Similar to service at this group’s other restaurants, Colby did a phenomenal job providing us with guidance and suggestions. Excellent service! We look forward to returning for sure.

One of my Memphis favorites. Superior service starts the moment you walk in the door. Accommodations are welcome. Extensive menu for fine dining and great selection of wine. Food is delicious and flight concept allows you to try and experience so much at once. Also best charcuterie board in Memphis.

The food options and taste were on point! I really enjoyed the experience of trying a variety of dishes at 1 meal. The portion sizes were plentiful. The staff was helpful and friendly and the music was very nice.

Absolutely worth every penny! I love the concept. I’ve spent this much at fancy restaurants where you choose one dish and end up disappointed. Here I got three (and got to try six, sampling my husband’s) and every single dish was incredible. I was interested to try elk (I got the Steak and my husband got Farm and Field) but expected it to be gamey. It was my favorite dish! It just melted in your mouth. Sooo good! I couldn’t believe the size of the portions also. I feel like they were the size most upscale places do for a full entree (at the same price as the whole flight!). To me, this was incredible value for the money. We also tried three wine flights, which felt like generous pours to me and were very reasonably priced (equal to or less than a glass of wine in a nice restaurant). I was excited to be able to do a mix and match dessert sampler since my husband and I have different favorites, but honestly I was so full by the time it came it was hard to finish! The desserts were good but the actual meals were unmatched. This will be my top recommendation to anyone visiting Memphis and if I ever do return I would 100% make sure to come here again. We sat in the wine cellar, which was cool because of its hidden side entrance, but the atmosphere wasn’t necessarily anything special. But who cares? The food and wine are 1000% the star of the show here!!

I was only in Memphis for a day and looking for a fine dining experience near Beale Street. After searching through endless options, one menu item stopped me in my tracks—lamb chops with mint jelly. That dish holds a special place in my heart. As a child, it was my favorite meal at a little family restaurant back in Florida—one that closed long ago. Just seeing it on the menu brought back a wave of comfort and nostalgia. I had to give Flight Restaurant and Wine Bar a try. The place was already packed by 5PM (always a good sign), but I was offered overflow seating in the basement—through a discreet alley entrance. It felt like stepping into a hidden speakeasy: low lighting, soothing atmosphere, and such a cool vibe. Downstairs, I was lucky to be seated at the bar with Lexi, who was an absolute gem—warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the food and wine. She helped me pair a fantastic red wine with my lamb chops, which were cooked perfectly medium rare. The plate also featured creamy potato and bacon croquettes and tender asparagus. Everything was outstanding. For dessert, I had The Memphis Belle—a rich, decadent Georgia pecan and dark chocolate slice served with vanilla ice cream. It was sensational. I’ve dined all across the U.S., Canada, and Central America, and this spot absolutely earns a top-tier place on my list. Next time, I’ll be back to try their flight of food and wine pairings—a unique way to sample multiple dishes at once. I also want to sincerely thank the chef for such a fine, perfectly prepared meal. Your skill and attention to detail made this experience unforgettable. If you’re anywhere near Memphis, this place is 100% worth the visit. Thanks to Lexi and the team at Flight for an incredible evening.

First time trying flights. A few friends recommended it. While the food is a bit pricey, honestly it’s high quality, flavorful food! It’s made to order & delicious. The staff are all so attentive, polite, and give you a luxurious experience. Plus they had valet parking. The atmosphere is relaxing and fancy. But I didn’t feel out of place. I love how they have 3 seating options & you can pick (the main floor, an upstairs, and glass room). FOOD WE ORDERED: - Salad flight (we chose like an appetizer) - Mixed & matched the Butcher & Farm flights - Lamb chops (great flavor and nice flavorful char) friend cheesy potatoes (fantastic), asparagus (didn’t touch, because I prefer mine cooked more). - Chicken & Waffles (The best!) had a savory mushroom sauce. Slightly sweet waffles. Crispy juicy chicken. - Duck breast & sweet potato casserole was great! DESSERT - Crème Brûlée, a blackberry, a strawberry, long vanilla wafer, mint leaf. At the very bottom of the crème brûlée was some vanilla bean bits. It was delicious. Only thing I wish was I had room in my stomach for a dessert flight to try! Would definitely go back for special occasions!

Very impressive experience. Food was great. There are things we did not enjoy but that is our taste and pallette. The food was well prepared. The wait staff is very attentive and they take care of you. Beautiful setting and enjoyed all of it. We do not drink and it was our anniversary, so they brought out ginger ale with a strawberry for effect.

This was my first visit here and waited for a special occasion. Chose two separate entrays in the elk and the sea bass. Both were incredible and elk but me on a search as to where I could buy to make at home. We were seated upstairs and it was loud and hot because of the location they do have outdoor seating. The service was fantastic. And would recommend for anyone wanting to impress

A delightful and delicious restaurant concept that is as innovative as it is well executed. Flight offers flights of food throughout the whole dining experience, from the wine to the entrees to the desserts, allowing you try a wide variety of their inspired dishes. They have creative and new meals that allow you to enjoy whatever cuisine you are interested in for that evening, or, you can just get a large entree if something really catches your eye. I was very impressed with the selection of meat, with the chef specials including exotic picks such as ostrich, kangaroo, and wild boar. The steaks were all incredible and had a delicious side to pair them with. For the vegetarians, they also had an impressive flight of options that looked delicious. Special thanks to Lauren for being an awesome waiter and giving us amazing recommendations throughout the whole night, made the whole experience seamless. Truly an incredible dining experience and must stop restaurant if you are in Memphis.

Easily one of my favorite dining experiences in Memphis. I grabbed a seat at the bar, and not only was the service from the staff exceptional, but — true to the spirit of the South — the entire bar became a little community. Within minutes, strangers were swapping stories, drink picks, and dish recommendations. It was intimate, social, and incredibly welcoming. Telling: half the bar were locals. The “small plates” concept here is genius. You get to explore so many flavors at your own pace, and the pricing makes it feel indulgent without being over the top. The food? No notes. Every bite was on point — beautifully executed and full of flavor. And here’s the kicker: for a place this polished and high-quality, it’s surprisingly affordable. Flight delivers a five-star experience without the five-star bill. Whether you’re solo at the bar or settling in for a full dinner with friends, this spot is a must.

Truly an incredible experience! You CANNOT visit Memphis without eating here! Do the tapas style and order a bunch of different items - they're all delish. Trust me! My favorite - the duck!! If you like duck make sure you try this. The homemade desserts are delicious here too. The seafood eggrolls to start may be some of the best I've ever had. **Please follow me on Instagram & TikTok @NickEatzWorld and check out all my reviews and travel recommendations**

My girlfriend and I had a lovely time here tonight. Reese greeted us at the door and showed us to our table. He was very nice and got us off to a great start. Once we were seated we met our server Carly Smith and she was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. We had two appetizers, the Roasted Bone Marrow which is to die for and the Wagyu Carpaccio. Both unforgettable and highly recommended. For our entrees we had the Fish Flight and the Steak flight and they were both so wonderful and we left absolutely nothing on the plates. Finally, we got the traditional dessert flight. We had the Crème Brûlée and got the other 2 desserts to go because we were absolutely full by this point. Overall an amazing and original experience and we will be back for sure!

Absolutely phenomenal!! We sat on high top table near bar; Molly was our server. Food, service and atmosphere are fantastic!! Make reservations, you'll need them! Excellent wine selection. The menu is great and has a variety for any taste. Definitely a date night place!

Wow! Just wow. We were in Memphis for four nights and this place took the cake. Great small plate options so the four of us could try manny of their samplings. Everything we had was excellent including the service and what a cozy place!! We will go back and I highly recommend this to anyone!!

Flight Restaurant & Wine Bar delivered both excellent food and truly outstanding service. We started with six fresh oysters, which were crisp, clean, and absolutely delicious. We also ordered the soup flight — the lobster bisque was rich and my favorite, the soup of the day was good, and while the gumbo was a little too fishy for my personal taste, others may enjoy it. For drinks, we had bourbon and wine flights. Both were enjoyable and reasonably priced, though the wines tasted more like house selections rather than anything especially distinctive. For entrées, I had the seafood flight with a white wine pairing, which included crab cake, shrimp and grits, and scallops. Everything was beautifully prepared — the scallops were tender and melted in your mouth, and both the crab cake and shrimp and grits were excellent. My husband had the Farm, Field & Fire flight (lamb chop, duck breast, and chicken & waffles), and he couldn’t stop raving about the lamb — everything was flavorful and well-executed. Even the small flight portions were very filling. Dessert was a warm cobbler with ice cream and coffee — the perfect ending to a great meal. What truly made this evening special was the service. Our server Janice was amazing — friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. We also met the manager, Kayla, who went above and beyond. We had casually mentioned a small reservation mix-up earlier in the day, and without any complaint from us, Kayla personally apologized and graciously comped our appetizers. That level of hospitality was unexpected and deeply appreciated. The atmosphere is beautiful, the food is excellent, and the service is exceptional. We will absolutely be back — it’s a wonderful place for a special evening downtown.

The food was excellent and the ambience was fantastic as well. I wish the escargot would become a permanent addition to the menu; my girlfriend and I greatly enjoyed it. Our server, Lauryn, was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall 10/10 experience.

It’s been a longggg time since I’ve had a meal as memorable and tasteful as I did at Flight. The concept itself is genius because it allows you to try so many different dishes, and all of them are outstanding! The elk tenderloin, wagyu strip, and duck were incredible. This place is absolutely worth the money and the complimentary valet was a huge bonus.

Excellent service, making us feel welcome even before we walked through the door. The flight serving sizes are appropriate for our limited appetites. All together, an enjoyable dining experience.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed dinner here tonight. It was our first time here, and the atmosphere was so nice and charming. Perfect for a much needed date night. Our food was amazing. Our favorites were the shrimp and grits, lamp chops, white chocolate blondie, and banana foster pudding. Our waitress, Kaitlyn was the absolute best! She was very kind and provided the best service! She made us feel right at home, provided great suggestions on the menu, took the best photo of us, and even suggested something to do after we left. We will be back!

The food flights are incredible. Small bites, but each are mini entrees. The flavor profiles are amazing. The service is attentive but not intrusive. Make reservations far in advance. We ate in the wine cellar and it was amazing. The main restaurant appears to be even better if that is possible. Totally recommend for luxury foodies. Compliments to Vanessa for curating a great experience.

This was our third time dining here, and somehow it was the best one yet—and that’s almost entirely thanks to Mark, our waiter. The food was phenomenal (as always): fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented, and truly some of the best we’ve had in Memphis. But Mark took the entire experience to another level. From the moment we sat down, he made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. His timing was perfect, his recommendations were spot-on, and he balanced professionalism with warmth in a way that made the evening feel truly special. It’s rare to have a server who elevates the entire meal—not just by being great at his job, but by making you feel like he’s excited you’re there. We already loved this restaurant, but Mark ensured this visit stood out. If you get the chance, definitely ask for him—you won’t regret it. We’ll be back again soon, and here’s hoping Mark is there to make our fourth visit just as memorable.

What a unique experience! I had never seen any other restaurant like this before. The service was amazing and so was the atmosphere. The food was good, I’m a pretty slow eater, and a lot of my meat just sat there for a bit until I got to it, and it tasted way better once rested. So, I think they needed to rest a bit. I do wish they added a little more of the sides. Especially the veggies, since you’d only get one asparagus. Other than that, it was good. Definitely pricey!

I had just flown into town a couple of days ago, and my sense of time from traveling is messed up. So, I was hungry and I spied this spot on Google that had crazy good reviews, so I really wanted to love this place. I sat at the bar and started with a drink and the wedge salad, the salad was delicious, and since the place is called flight the theme is, order three small dinners and share, or, I guess you can be a pig and eat all three. But then next to the entree on the menu it states instead of a small plate you can have the full size. And since I was alone I ordered the one dinner, but they neglected to tell me they're MEANT to be ordered as small plates. So, what I received was basically two small plates on one. Ordinarily it wouldn't be too big of a deal but their wagu steak was flavorful but waaay to chewy and then once I had received my dinner, they basically forgot I was alive. Now I realize it was Saturday evening but I told them it was my first time, plus, I was going to be in town for three months, I'd like to give them another chance to redeem themselves, I just need to give it some thought, btw, the two girls working behind the bar were extremely nice, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I also meant to mention, I'm from San Francisco and have very high standards with restaurants that make certain claims. P.S. The restaurant's interior is beautifully decorated.

Was seated in wine cellar. Service was great. Ordered Margarita & it is not watered down. Had the bone marrow, oyster, Deviled eggs & seafood gumbo. All appetizers was good. Only criticism was egg tasted like powdered eggs & the gumbo along with bone marrow needed seasoning. But I am sure the devil egg wasn't powdered as this is a fine dining restaurant. Had the surf & turf as a main entree. The steak, potatoes & asparagus was my all time favorite along with oyster. Was not crazy about the lobster tail. Really enjoyed 😉

The restaurant setting was intimate and relaxing, accented with low lights, candles, and white table cloths. The atmosphere was casual and laid back without compromising the fine dining service experience. I truly enjoyed the mix and match small plates that allowed you to get a taste of everything at a reasonable price. And the food was delicious! With the small plates shared between myself and my bestie, we might have tasted half the menu, and we were not disappointed (and also quite full). And the drinks were very good too; it was a mini wine tasting experience. If you have a chance to go, be sure to make reservations, take advantage of valet parking, and enjoy a night out at Flight!

Food and service was outstanding. Great menu with perfectly cooked meat and awesome presentation. The Service also was wonderful caretaking and super friendly. But the room had a freezing 🥶🥶🥶 temperature and was not welcoming at all. We had to let our jackets on. Even when they turned out the one AC in our corner we felt not welcome in the room due to the arctic freezing temperatures. The time was not enjoyable at all because of the cold temperature in the room. Very sad for the perfect experience in all other topics. Hope to see that change soon for other guests.

Reviews Flight First time here. Restaurant is small, some tables are too close together for comfort than others. Regrettably we order our full meal after the waitress reassured us they would be served in a timely manner and not all at once. Fried green tomatoes could use a pinch of salt but it and the bone marrow were good. Meals are served in flights and individually. We both had flights and wouldn’t recommend, by the time you get to the third plate the food is cold. No explanation of the flight, so forgot what was included by the time it came. I had chefs flight, wagyu tasted like a Waffle House steak with a liver aftertaste so I’m assuming was spoiled. ravioli was barely filled and mostly pasta. Quail was decent, stuffed and all ribs were removed no complaints. My spouse had the steak flight, some were better than others but we both had a tendon issue. Wait staff have separate runners and our waitress had four tables, stopped checking on us when we first received our appetizers and let our drinks run out. At some point we just had to ask a food runner for our dessert to go and the check. Overall terrible experience and not something I would recommend. Valet parking is complementary

My wife and I decided to go hesr for our 10th anniversary. I was thinking it would be romantic and nice. Boy was i wrong. They stuck us in a basement first even after I booked this as our 10 year anniversary. The man who was supposed to take us to our table just walked off and left us and didnt even bother to look back to check on us. Our actual waiter was good he was friendly and knowledgeable and very polite. No issues with him. But the portion sizes are nuts! I think a McDonald's happy meal is bigger! On top of that their idea of gourmet is weird to me they ruined a wagyu steak and also a elk steak as well . Who puts maple syrup on a elk steak? The wild board was good I will say that but idk how putting a potato chip in mashed potatoes is gourmet! But as a grown man all this meal did was just leave me hungry! Each piece of steak was MAYBE 2 to 3 Oz. Just cause I paid $180 for a meal does not mean I am going to give it a 5 star review. I will not go back here again. My wife and I left laughing. Honestly the conversation with the valet guys was the most enjoyable time of this place.
