Tekila Mexican Cuisine — Restaurant in Memphis

I just want to start off by saying thanks for making my Father Day dinner a complete slap in the face. I decided to attend this restaurant for my Father’s Day dinner due to you guys social media videos and had a couple of friends that visited you guys establishment not to long ago. Long story short I was not satisfied at all with the WHOLE EXPERIENCE. The food was good but I was sold a complete dream. Drinks wasn’t made in front of me as I seen for others. I decided to try you guys prime ribeye which is $85 because I realized you guys do a showcase of the meats and also cut the meat in front of the guest (one of the main reasons I picked the restaurant because of the showing). I also had to ask for a knife to even cut my steak with. I understand we had a reservation for 8:00 and the restaurant closes at 9:00, so I’m assuming that’s why we didn’t get the experience like the other guest beside us did but as a high end restaurant you shouldn’t be taking reservations at a time you can’t offer top tier service …. It sucks seeing the guest next to us get their steak cut in front of them and asked if there meat was cooked correctly and we got none of that. We were not offered refills on beverages and I Couldn’t order a second drink nor did we get offered deserts. Also as a restaurant that’s trying to carry themselves as a 5star establishment with 5star food they also need to make sure the service is 5 star also. My server was either new to the restaurant or barely understood or spoke English which also made the experience not so pleasing, he kept stopping mid taking our order to tend to other guest (couldn’t tell me the size of the lobster tail, the cuts of meat, what cocktail was their top seller or what would he would recommend and I still left a nice tip out of generosity. At the end of the day I’m highly upset with the whole thing, especially with it being Father’s Day. I’m a manager in the restaurant industry and I understand stuff happens, but this was unacceptable. I see so many good things about you guys and I would hate for this restaurant to disappear due to...

The atmosphere at this Tekila location is top notch and cannot be beat! Beautifully restored and decorated. I will preface the rest with the fact that we were a large birthday group of 16 with a wide age range (20s to 50s), so we can be a bit intimidating to the wait staff. Most of us have been or are currently in the service industry, so we know good service and ALWAYS tip well when we have good service. I must give all respect to our server. She was relatively new, and we were her first large group. She did an excellent job. We had some minor issues with getting the bill, but they were quickly resolved. Now to the food. Amazing is really not enough of a compliment. My salmon and risotto was divine, and I love risotto... So I can say with much authority that this may have been the best I have ever had. Everyone at the table said their food was amazing as well. They ordered a wide variety of dishes, so I won't go into all the specific dishes. One issue of note, their menu does not indicate that the fish tacos are fried, and unfortunately, the person ordering the (delicious looking) fish tacos cannot have fried foods. Cocktails: I had 2: the Smoked Old Fashioned which was well made and tasty, but I am not certain why it is called "Smoked" as I noted nothing smoky about it. The other was the "Astroboy" (pictured with this review). It is a whiskey based drink with a sweet Mexican liqueur, blackberry puree, and a splash of tonic water. (NOTE: It's been a couple weeks, so I may be forgetting an ingredient). As can be seen in the image, the Astroboy has a unique presentation, and I loved it. It was more on the sweeter side than I usually go with, but to me, it had an excellent balance of sweet & sour. Other members of our party complimented the Margaritas and other specialty drinks. Overall, we had an excellent experience and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience! The cost is on the higher end of the scale, but if you are looking for an excellent meal and overall experience. I highly recommend Tekila for a special night out, or just an...

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for a fantastic evening. Food: The star of the show was undoubtedly the Tomahawk steak.
