Everything about our experience here was exemplary. They accommodated us arriving a little late for our reservation, and despite it being a Friday night we didn’t have to wait long for our food or drinks. Speaking of the drinks, the cocktails here are excellent: the old-fashioned was particularly good. The food was just as good, if not better. The meat of the main courses was tender, slid right off the bone, and was complimented by fantastic sauces. If you’re looking for a place to take a date or relax with friends over great food in Knoxville, this is it.

Excellent service. Healthy flavorful unique dishes. Flavorful Town food. Get the hush puppies, salad, shrimp. Seasonal menu items. Charred pea and arugula salad, roasted bone marrow was amazing, scallion hushpuppies & BBQ onion applies, crispy potato with salmon roe best thing ever. The food is so good that these pictures are not edited.

This was a gem of a find on a long roadtrip. The food was fresh, creative, delicious, and portioned well. The customer service was outstanding. The general manager, Adam, really made the experience one we will cherish. His care and dedication made it feel like we were part of something special. This is an exceptional, caring restaurant with a brilliant chef and great food! We plan to return to Knoxville just to dine here again.
