The Brass Pearl

Salinity and sweetness has never found a shell like this in Knoxville. From the whimsical urban movie culture on the walls, to the rarely ever seen ship-in-a-bottle, what dwells beneath the facade is a GM named Taylor that is skilled in and connected to ocean cuisine at the freshest possible point, as well as wise with hiring shuckers and chefs that understand seafood preparation. The time has come Knoxville to go underwater and familiarize with the foundation of food, where all life began on Earth, in the water.

Best new restaurant in Knoxville! Excellent ambiance, fun location, friendly host, amazing food and fabulous service. Best variety of oysters in East Tennessee, and fresh fish and shellfish. Over the top martini extended service with caviar and whipped blue cheese olives. Most knowledgeable oyster shucker that deserves a tip. Best po-boy I’ve ever had with haddock and a great slaw. Wife’s sea bass was exquisite. Come prepared to spend $$$. 100% worth it.

We stopped here while in town for the 4th of July and had a great time. The food is really amazing and the atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. The only disappointing thing was that the oysters are overpriced, which was shocking since we were in Knoxville. Nevertheless, we really enjoyed coming here and look forward to eating here again. If you are in Knoxville and love seafood, you will love this place.
