Flight is a must when visiting Memphis. Have you ever gone to a restaurant and couldn’t decide between two or three dishes..well this is your place. You don’t have to decide…just pick a flight of seafood, fish or game..flights of appetizers, desserts and of course wine. Great service and the food is terrific!

Dinner was amazing! Our server Ella was the best. She recommended the perfect cocktails, wine and food. All of her suggestions were delicious. We had the bacon, A5 Waygu Ribeye, bone in ribeye, crème brûlée corn, honey truffle tater tots, asparagus with hollandaise. We were there to celebrate a birthday and Ella made our experience from begging to end perfect.

We always enjoy The Beauty Shop, but last night was perfection! We split the grilled fruit, which was warm and delicious. Then we both enjoyed the Cod special--it was spectacular! All of this was paired with excellent service. The Beauty Shop is a Memphis gem!
