"If you want one really great meal in Memphis, this is your place. Enter from the unmarked outdoor staircase next to BB Kings. There are no signs, which gives this place a very cool, speakeasy vibe. When I walked through the door, I literally said, 'Oh wow! ' It 's that instant feeling that you 've just entered somewhere really cool. The lighting is fantastic and sets the tone. All of the food was delicious. We ordered the pimento cheese and onion dip appetizer, and a second appetizer of spicy shrimp. The second was a little too spicy for me but perfect for everyone else. The dip was delicious! My entree was salmon drizzled with a lovely sauce over a bed of wild rice and green beans. Sometimes vegetables really stand out and that was the case with this dish. The green beans were cooked to perfection. My companion got the tomahawk pork chop and it was absolutely enormous. He said it was delicious. For dessert, we tried the white chocolate bread pudding. I 'm usually not a fan of white chocolate but this was absolutely out of this world good. I would order it every time I go, if I could. Overall, a great experience. The venue is perfect for special occasions or a romantic date night. I highly recommend."

Enjoyed a nice date night with the wife, She had the Lamb chops with risotto, risotto was a little undercooked, but chops was great. I had the Shrimp and grits and was very satisfied. The Mississippi Mule was also great

We eat out a lot and at some very high priced venues. Most of the time my husband and I feel we could cook it better, or it was drr or no flavor. Not here! I have to say this was hands down some of the best food/drinks we have ever had. Sorry no pics of the main course, we were too busy eating! View menu

The food was absolutely perfectly created by God himself that night. The server was so sweet, and accommodating. She made the entire experience everything. The ambiance of the place was impeccable, music was the right tone for the night and not to mention. The view of Beale was stunning! I will be back for more.

All I can say is WOOOOOOOW!!! This was a very special day. We celebrated our 6th Month Anniversary at Itta Bena. This was both of our first time and I couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate!! From start to finish everything was amazing !! The service was magnificent!! My apologies for not remembering our hostess name but she was amazing, the food was exquisite and the complete staff was phenomenal ! Thanks for sharing this experience with us and for making it a remarkable night. If you're ever in downtown Memphis definitely stop through and check them out.

"Just to start this out as honestly as i can, we had just gotten out of a 6+ hour long drive so we were hungry and sorta didn't care about what to get just knew we wanted food! With that being said this food was amazing, we both got the Veggie Burrito and a fountain drink. Food didn't take long to get to us, we were seated upstairs, which on its own is a completely different experience that we weren't expecting, you walk into a small entrance where you can see the cooks making the orders and you place your order at the counter, not gonna lie the downstairs isn't much to look at but I do appreciate being able to see the cooks, not for security or anything, just because you don't see that too often. After you make your order you're walked upstairs and seated in this very nice large room with many tables chairs and even a bar! We came towards the middle of the day so we didn't experience any drinks unfortunately. Beautiful space, great design and lots of natural lighting, the atmosphere was very nice and refreshing. The food, now the food was super surprising not to say that we're expecting it to be bad but in my experience anything Veggie or vegetarian usually has a tendency of being a bit bland and or being filled with lettuce where the meat would've been, which is sad because that means many places rely heavily on meat to bring the flavor, but our burritos were so delicious! The burritos had lots of flavor with nothing overpowering anything but instead everything complimenting everything else rather well, they had actually used potatoes in the burritos as the protein replacement and i was very much elated at that, because let's be honest you can do so much with potatoes and they absolutely paired well in the burrito, I personally don't like spicy anything so when I saw jalapeños I was a bit worried, but they're actually pickled jalapeños with other vegetables and they added such a fresh taste and nice bite I was very much pleasantly surprised. The dish was served with beans and rice both of which were also delicious nothing too much to say about them but very good sides. I definitely recommend this place, prices are actually low for food this good! Definitely stop by and try!"
