    Great atmosphere for small bites and drinks. I recommend the crab soup, fried avocado and duck confit.

    Classy third-level speakeasy type restaurant and lounge, great for a change up to Beale street. Shortcut the mob with back entrance under blue awning off 2nd Street.

    Get the duck and waffles. Love the view of Beale Street from the third floor of the BB King club.

    Great place to have an intimate date or a large group event! Best restaurant in Memphis by far! Atmosphere, food, staff all top notch!

    Mascarpone Grits. White Chocolate Bread Pudding. Unbelievable and so worth a non-balanced diet.!

    Absolutely the BEST She Crab soup I have ever had anywhere. After one spoonful, I almost canceled my entree and ordered another bowl!

    Swanky atmosphere. Snow Crab Soup is the perfect starter. The golden snapper is a beast! Great flavor.

    If you only get one thing from Itta Bena, make it the She Crab Soup. It's sweet and creamy and delicious. Read more

    Eh..... Better atmosphere than food. Not a particularly memorable meal. And the blue tinted windows make it feel a bit cheap if you go before dark.
