The owner and staff were also incredibly nice and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. I would highly recommend Nino's to anyone looking for great pizza and a welcoming local spot in Sevierville. We'll definitely be back!

THis one has a story behind it. Got invited to a drum circle in Gatrlinburg by my girlfriend's son…read more We went out that morning to see Cades Cover (big mistake - it was Memorial Day) and swung back around through Townsend (stopped at Mountain Man to have a craft brew on the way). Knowing we were going up to the arts district, I looked for a place to meet them before the circle and saw there was a Celtic Pub. Only that was the spot where the drum circle was. And, to my surprise, it is the same owner as the Fox & Parrot Tavern in Gatlinburg, one of my favorite English pubs (and currently closed do to a feud with the US government - hope that gets fixed). The place is definitely British country feeling. Very nice tap list, including both local brews and standard UK brews. Heavy wood feeling with a very nice deck outside, which includes some spots under cover (which was important as it rained on the circle and people had to duck in). There is nothing elegant about the place or the food. But that is its charm. The fish & chips were on point, esp. with the malt vinegar. Shepherd's Pie a bit salty for my tastes, but not to the salt lick level. Also came with chips. As for the drum circle, if you are reading this in June 2026, that is every Monday at 6-8 PM through the end of the month. I got some great drone footage of the circle, which I added to this review.

Probably one of my favorite restaurants in the area, Rampant Lion is clearly a family-run business…read morethat focuses on making social connections over quick get-food-and-go. It's pretty cool. I would never come here if I was in a hurry, but if you have 2+ hours to eat and want good food in a storied place with staff who will treat you like friends, you're going to love the Rampant Lion. NOTES: -In rural TN, it should not surprise you, but be aware that they have Trump displays in the restaurant. -The restrooms are single stall and accessed from outdoor. They're indoor restrooms - just the door to access them is on the outside. (No porta potties) They're solidly clean - just make sure to pack clothing that works for the temperature outside because you might be dipping outside a few times. -Parking lot is small and gravel. Relatively easy to get in and out of though. -Amazing gin selection with staff that *clearly* knows their gins. -Adorable photos of the owners on slideshow of their trip to Europe on the wall. It's adorably and clearly a couple who was on a good vacation. We've had a good chunk of their menu at this point. Pretzels: Delicious beer chese AND delicious pretzels. Quite a bit of food with this too. Bread, Oil, & Vinegar: Wasn't super fond of this one. A ton of oil in a bowl made it hard to get the right oil-to-vinegar ratio. Chicken Pie: Deliciously breaded with super-tasty french fries too. Served piping hot, so it took a bit to be able to eat it without burning myself but a wait well-made. Reuben: Partner absolutely loved it and said the bread was the absolute perfect consistency. SO much meat in there too (though he said it could use a bit of extra dressing). Bubbles and Squeak: Delicious. Just delicious. Zero notes, you should eat it. Beanie Weenies: Home-made right in the restaurant! My favorite thing on the menu. Super savory, semi-healthy (beans...at least?), and served super warm. Comfort food at its finest. Menu in-restaurant was different than online one on a few things.

I'm a bit stingy with my 5 star ratings but Double S makes it easily…read more Pros: The owner Steve is awesome! He has such a passion for wine and architecture. He is friendly and able to school you on wine without being snooty about it. The interior design is modern while maintaining the historic quality of the building, perfect for downtown Knoxville. The color schemes are chosen with "wine" in mind. Well done Steve! There are a few beers, no drafts, but hey, it's a WINE bar. The wine he chose for us, I think it was the Swanson Merlot was delicious, the best I can remember ever having. It was from a small boutique Napa valley winery so I would not have found it anywhere else. We ordered the cheese plate and found it generous and unique with a number of cheeses I had never tried before. The jam was huge and I was tempted to ask for more. Perfect to share with you lady. Cons: Only one small suggestion. Your bar needs a bar rail. The bar stools throw you forward a bit and the rail on the stool just doesn't cut it. The prices are high but that is really not a criticism as it is what it is. Great wine is expensive. All in all a perfect place to unwind after work. When you meet someone with a passion for what they do, you know it. Knoxville has it's own sommelier! Interesting fact about that word, It comes from the French for butler. Butler is my last name so Steve, my fellow sommelier, here's to you! If you are a wine person, you must go see Steve. Best success to you in your pursuit.

You need reservations; if you don't have them, you risk getting turned away. It's a husband and wife running the entire place. No extra help. They want you to stay and relax and enjoy everything. We only stayed 90 minutes and they tried to get us to stay longer. Like all the reviews say, it's a very European experience. We've never experienced anything like it. We started with an old fashioned and a margarita from the daily cocktail menu. Olga welcomed us with a hug and took us to our table. She didn't stay out long because she is the chef! But it was still cool to interact with her in the beginning. Both her and her husband made us feel like family. It started pouring and he walked outside with an umbrella and held it for 2 girls at the bar. I thought that was super sweet. We ordered the salmon roe caviar and it was divine. Our second course was the oyster flatbread and I ended up being sad I was sharing it. It was that good!!!!! We were pretty full at this point after a couple more drinks. They were really busy too, so we decided to go ahead and get the check. It started raining right after we got our check, so we ended up getting one more drink to wait it out. We had the best time and can't wait to come back!

While we were walking the Arts and Crafts Loop near Gatlinburg (I HIGHLY recommend this as well), we noticed this wonderful-looking restaurant nestled away in the green forested hills across the street. We opted to come back here for dinner on our last night in the Great Smokey Mountains. Sooooo glad we did! Owned and operated by a European couple, the Red Oak has the ambiance of a quaint European restaurant that one would find tucked away in the Alps. While the inside atmosphere is wonderful, we chose to sit outside to enjoy the very quiet and beautiful forested hills of Gatlinburg. Service was incredible and very European - they told us they would not bother us unless we asked for something and that the table was ours for the evening. Yep...we stayed there for three hours, sipping our wine and trying various dishes of exquisite flavor. I'd like to say try this or try that, but to be honest: all the dishes we tried were absolutely phenomenal. We cannot wait to try this place again!

We didn't receive a greeting when we walked in or an acknowledgment when we left. We were originally sat in the far corner next to the only other customers in an otherwise empty restaurant, and the other customers walker was parked at the"our" table- the host didn't ask to move it, just expected us to squeeze in. We asked for a different table and the host acted like they didn't have one, but until she finally took us to the patio. (The restaurant was still mostly empty- only about 10 tables inside and out when we left). The view over the river was very nice, however the outdoor plastic chairs were cheap and uncomfortable. While the menu looks and sounds delicious, what you end up getting is barely seasoned overcooked food that will more than likely remind you of a senior citizens special... unseasoned and overcooked Med-rare NY Strip. Overcooked gnocchi. Uninspired fingerling potatoes with barely a hint of seasoning on some of them. Farrow & Root salad was okay but lacked dressing. And the tahini honey glazed carrots were the best offering of the night- but still just okay. Skip this one. Go to The Greenbrier if you're looking for a nice meal that will leave you craving more. Oh- and they overcooked the steak at another table on the patio too. We watched one table leave after being sat and then ignored. Usually we give restaurants two tries when we don't enjoy them, because everyone has an off day. But we won't be doing that here- unfortunately there were more than enough red flags to show this isn't quality food or management.

I did end up having a glass of wine and I also bought a bottle and some cheese to take home.

Scallops were 2 bay scallops in a larger scallops shell, nice presentation and tasty but hard to get any of the sauce out with the scallops from those shells...but maybe i was supposed to pick up the shells and slide them into my mouth? Both filet and ribeye cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. We were too full for dessert.

My wife and I came here for a romantic dinner on our vacation, and we generally had a good time…read more First, we didn't have a reservation, but we didn't think it'd be much of an issue since we were coming on a weekday night. Bad assumption! We almost had to sit at the bar (which would have been OK, but we kind of wanted more privacy) but the hostess found us a high-top table. We had to drive up a big hill to get to the restaurant, so I assume the view outside is super nice, but we sat indoors to get away from the heat :) In general, our server did an OK job, but I do think she could have checked on us a little more, and the service felt quite slow. Our meal started with some complimentary spoonbread (which was pretty tasty!) and a Dylan cocktail for me, which took forever to come out. The Dylan was not really my cup of tea, it turns out - I guess I'm just a beer drinker at heart :) My wife got the Caesar salad for an appetizer and then we split the Beef Wellington for a shared entree. I sampled my wife's Caesar and it was very tasty! The Beef Wellington also took a long time to come out, but the wait was worth it, as it was very good! The beef was cooked medium rare as expected and the pastry was tasty. For our side, we chose broccolini and it was seasoned well. Despite the service hiccups, we had a good experience here. I would definitely consider coming back, and I'd recommend the Greenbrier to others.

Cocktails were well done and the wine pairings recommended astute. Nothing to complain about except some of the items were cold - there was one person serving the entire bar and restaurant and obviously had some timing issues. Also some attitude: after delivering cocktails to my wife and me he forgot her mom's - after I reminded him he said "oh I know" and then proceeded to serve four other patrons' order at the bar and then another two top's before even starting hers. It finally arrived after the cold mushrooms were delivered. I'm chalking this up to a short staffed situation and a specific individual, so if you live nearby or are traveling through looking for a nice spot for dinner or lunch I would definitely recommend. The environment is also very pleasant with a nice bar and dining room of high top tables.
