Folk's Folly Prime Steak House · East Memphis
Folk's Folly is the city's classic special occasion steakhouse, combining aged beef, private dining rooms, and a service team comfortable guiding a large meal. Filet, ribeye, and strip cuts can be matched with sauces and family style sides. Ask about marbling and portion size, then choose potatoes and vegetables for the table rather than treating each plate as an isolated order.
Andrew Michael · Brookhaven
Andrew Michael interprets traditional Italian cooking through seasonal Southern ingredients in a converted Brookhaven house. Handmade pasta and carefully handled meats anchor the menu, while vegetables and sauces change with the season. Share pasta before the main course instead of choosing between them, and let the intimate rooms support a paced dinner where details accumulate across several plates rather than one oversized entree.
Paulette's Restaurant · Harbor Town
Paulette's carries a Continental dining tradition into Harbor Town, with crepes, sauces, seafood, and familiar special occasion service. The menu feels connected to an older style of restaurant hospitality, which is part of its appeal. Begin with a savory crepe or soup, follow with fish or meat in a classic preparation, and save room for dessert rather than treating the meal as a single course.
