Found this gem on the last night of our Tim's Fore Lake trip. Downtown Winchester. First WIN was our server Gracie H. Effervescent, knowledgeable, pleasant...all the things you want from a server. We are envious of her 5th grade students. Loved the atmosphere of Filos. Design was corporates the prior building exteriors. Busy and lively when we arrived yet now wait for the three os us. Ordered two Expresso martinis. Creamy with good body...although they could be a bit larger! Wine selection was more than sufficient. Ordered the steak egg rolls. Not to be missed especially with the dipping sauce. Companions split a wedge salad and filet. Cooked just right and tasty. NYO mashed potatoes were different but well made. I had the Steak Diane special. Again steak cooked as I requested although I would order medium rare if I did it again. Plenty of meat with a bit left over for the pup waiting at home. Green beans were al dente which is how I liked them (not mushy) Succumbed to Gracie's suggestion of key lime pie. Ample size for three people with no artificial taste. We live near Nashville so the pricing was wonderful and great value. Loved the atmosphere/vibe. Will definitely return upon our next visit to the area. read more

We are visiting Sewanee from Austin and happened to drive by Filos Tavern and thought based on the location, facade impression this would be a place to look in to. Filos was absolutely wonderful! The food was amazing--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Our service from Missy was excellent; she was warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. We also had the pleasure of meeting Lee, the chef and owner, who was lovely, charismatic, and clearly passionate about what he does. And the martinis? Perfect! Great food, wonderful people, and a fantastic experience all around. We were thrilled at our experience. Starting with the perfect shaken martini , to the excellent service by Missy, and the food was par with many of the Michelin star restaurants in Austin we love to frequent. The chef owner Lee was full of character and poise. He clearly runs a well bred tavern with a level of sophistication unusual in small towns . We drove back for lunch today and were welcomed by the staff and Lee brought us the most delicious carrot cake warmed on the house as we were ready to depart. read more

The service was great! We sat at the bar and our bartender was awesome! I forgot to get her name but on my receipt it has PM B as our server. She was a treat! We had the cauliflower and cheddar soup and calamari for appetizers...amazing! Husband had the Mongolian ribeye with the whiskey baked beans and Mac & cheese...phenomenal! I had the salmon with shrimp special with jalapeño creamed corn..super yummy! The drinks we had were really good too! Atmosphere is rustic elegance. They are located right on town square and it has "old time" charm. Totally recommend this place if you are in the area! read more

Date night with my sweetie tonight at Filos. Had a great steak and fries, and the wife had the fried fish and fries. The food was delicious and well presented. A little loud, but the atmosphere made it very enjoyable. read more

On a backroads vacation. We walked in to Filo's and were very pleased. The steak salad, the wedge salad, the burger and fries were all delicious. Good service, casual dress code, and a nice remodel of the old downtown building. Motown music softly playing overhead. We will be back! read more

We were referred to eat here and loved the atmosphere as soon as we walked in. The food is amazing, we all ordered fish and each dish was fresh with seasoned veggies. We also spotted the Carrott Cake and had to try it. Again, "Delicious" and the piece was the size of a brick and served warm. The staff were very friendly and polite. I would Highly recommend eating here. Thank you for an amazing experience. read more

Amazing food. Great service. I got the filet mignon and it was cooked perfect. Solid prices. Brownie was amazing too. Highly recommend

Bummer for Winchester, this place is a little overrated but one of the only upscale spots to eat. It was loud and crowded and very expensive. The food was good but nothing blew me away. We tried 5 dishes and they were all decent but not worth the $20+ each. Also, small portions for the price. The building was beautiful and our waitress was okay but very busy. read more

Wonderful restaurant!!!! Food and service are top notch! Specials are offered ever day! Highly recommend! read more

Delicious food and great service! We were a party of 15 and everything was great, even for our kiddos.

First time to Filos and it did not disappoint! We were greeted and seated right away. Even though we sat right outside of the kitchen everything was wonderful. Victoria was our server and was very attentive during our meal. We started with calamari and chicken and sausage gumbo. We both had the nightly special- I had Maui Maui with a shrimp and crab creole sauce and hubby had the short ribs. Of course we shared the key lime pie for dessert. Great atmosphere and everyone (well except the two young hostesses) had smiles on their faces! We will definitely be back and we will bring friends! read more

First time here! Beautiful building and architecture. The vibe is great. Come in casual or dressed nicely, all are welcome. We came to celebrate my birthday and Father's Day. Victoria was our server and she was wonderful! My husband had the planked salmon and I had the seafood linguine. Both dishes were phenomenal! We also took home the brownie and carrot cake desserts. read more

While traveling on the Whiskey Trail, we stumbled into Filo's Tavern on a light showers day because we were hungry! Tavern is quaint, staff is attentive and food was scrumptious! We enjoyed the long large table accommodation which eased our ability to converse & eat almost family style, all together. We will go back again, when in TN read more

I had the red snapper. Shut the front door! So divine! We also had the truffle fries as an appetizer! Lawd have mercy, so good. The vibe is so great. Our server was a dream. Such a phenomenal experience. read more

Outstanding food and great service. Located in an updated historic building on the square , this place is a Gem.

Lord knows I'm falling behind on the My Humble Opinion reviews. I visited Filo's Tavern last October, and this is my humble opinion. We arrived at 12:22 on October,3. There wasn't a wait and we got a table immediately. After perusing the menu we placed our orders. The food started to arrive by 12:46. My salad was disappointing because the proteins were buried under the lettuce. But it was delicious and the chicken was there. It just didn't present well. All in all I feel like this place tried to hard, was over priced and didn't really deliver. Man bun energy. read more

The food was very good for a small town. I was reluctant to order a $40 steak off season but it was good and a very generous portion. There was nothing bad/wrong with anything the group had. The carrot cake was very good too. read more

We celebrated our daughter-in-law's 40th birthday at Filo's Tavern, and the experience was over the top! Chef Jim, Heather, and their team provided everything needed for a perfect celebration -- from the house-made charcuterie to the excellent service, delicious food, and warm hospitality. If you haven't tried this gem, you're missing out! read more

Came here on a Friday night at 5:30. The restaurant appeared full, but we were seated in about 5 minutes. We were greeted right away and the waitress answered any of our questions. Drinks and appetizers were served right away. The calamari was very good. I got the Cajun ribeye while my wife got the crab cakes. Both were very good. The deserts were also very good. We will definitely be back. A couple of suggestions. The mashed potatoes could have used a side of butter as they were a bit dry. Second, by the time we left the restaurant there had to be 20-30 people waiting to get in. So if you show up around 6, you will probably have a long wait time. read more

The Ahi tuna salad was very disappointing. The tuna was threaded with inedible tendons. And, it had been seared in the morning, then refrigerated; it was not freshly seared before serving. I showed the waitress that the meat was full of inedible tendons; she said she'd point that out to someone, but there was no offer of a discount. read more

Go early because the whole town is there to eat. Everything was perfect. Wonderful. Plentiful Diamond in the rough read more

We were in town and I desperately needed a salad and a good meal. Filos was absolutely amazing and was one of my favorite meals during my trip. The interior is clean and spacious while still be warm. The staff are all outstanding. The have a few beers on tap, one was a regional offering so I had to try that. But they also have wine and several cocktails that looked amazing. I'd definitely try a cocktail next time! I ordered the Stockyard Steak Salad:marinated tenderloin, bleu cheese crumbles, smokehouse bacon, diced local tomatoes, diced avocado, croutons, micro greens, and house made blue cheese dressing. This salad was amazing! It was huge, fresh, and so so flavorful. The dressing was top notch. Definitely try this salad! My boyfriend ordered the Tims Ford Chicken Club: grilled chicken, bacon, tomato, local swiss, avocado, honey mustard with a side of fries. The sandwich was ginormous and I was lucky to try a bite. I would also order this if we ever get the opportunity to return. The chicken was juicy and everything had so much flavor. We decided to try a couple of sides, the Gouda grits and signature Mac and cheese. Both were good but we liked the Gouda grits the best. Top notch everything. Check this place out! ‍ ‍ read more

I can not recommend this restaurant enough! The atmosphere, the food and the service is phenomenal! Everything we had was perfectly prepared and the servers are friendly and very knowledgeable. The specialty drinks are perfectly balanced. We enjoyed 2 amazing meals here and will be back as often as possible. If you are wondering if it is worth the drive, the answer is YES! You will not be disappointed and will be hooked! Tavern Burger, Pork Belly BLT, Alaskan Halibut, Filet Mignon you can't go wrong!! And don't forget the amazing apps Bang, Bang Shrimp and Roasted Cauliflower were so delicious! Can't forget dessert! The Carrot Cake... BEST I have ever had!! read more

Love this place, the food and service is excellent. We come here every time we are in the area.

The food was amazing, portions huge. The service was excellent. Their carrot cake is beyond special. Not to be missed.

Have been wanting to check this place out for quite some time as I have heard nothing but great reviews. We finally went to celebrate my wife's birthday, and after a short wait, we were seated. The place is nicely decorated, the atmoshere was inviting and the staff was very busy. Our waiter whom I may say, was exceptional in every way, greeted us as soon as we sat down, took our drink orders and when he returned we ordered an appetizer, Roasted Parmesan Crusted Cauliflower, which was absolutely amazing. Our dinner order consisted of Cajun Filet with Mashed Potatoes for me and my wife had the Southerner Cobb Salad. My filet was by far the best that I have ever had! My wife loved her salad as well. Of course it was her birthday so we had to have dessert. Carrot Cake for me and Chocolate Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream for her. We could have ordered only one as they were both large enough for two people. As was my Filet, the Carrot Cake was the absolute best I've ever tasted. Very moist, not too sweet, and way more than I could eat, so yes I had to carry half of it home, same with the brownie. I highly recommend Filos, you won't be disappointed, and we will definitely return. read more

We just had (again) an amazing meal at Filo's. I had the prime rib sandwich which was cooked to perfection. I also had the trifle fries, which I get every time. They are so good!! My husband had the almond trout (special) and it was so moist and delicious. Our waitress, Ashley, was amazing and so attentive! Great food and drink suggestions, including adding Bailey's to my espresso martini. Another successful meal at Filo's! read more

Went here on a Friday last month for my son-in-law's birthday (our first time at Filo's). There were 4 of us & they do not take reservations for under 8 people, so we got there at 5:30 hoping to beat the crowd. We put our name in & were seated within 5 minutes. Our wait person was friendly & took our drink orders right away. We ordered a beer, Smoked Manhattan, iced tea & I had the Tavern Tequila Sunset (so good, I had a second). As soon as our drinks were delivered, our order was taken. We started with the calamari appetizer which was a special that night. Cooked perfect & very tasty! For our main course, the guys both ordered the Cajun Ribeye (12 oz. cajun rubbed & grilled & served with barrel aged Worcestershire sauce) & mashed potatoes. My daughter & I both ordered the Iron Skillet crab cake with fries. We all loved what we ordered!! Food was excellent & so was our server (wish I remembered her name)!! Last, we ordered the cheesecake & a brownie (nuts) with ice cream to share. Glad we decided to share, as I was too full to eat much. Perfect evening with great food, drink & service!! We will definitely go back!! Glad we went early too; lots of people outside waiting for a table as we were leaving. read more

Enjoyed a fantastic lunch at a new place called Filo's Tavern. I was solo and couldn't decide, so I opted for two appetizers as my meal -- Spinach and green chili queso & Iron skillet steak meatballs. I cannot wait to return and try some of their other dishes. This place is a great addition to Winchester. read more

This was our first time in the area, and the locals were very clear that Filos was a MUST SEE. When I say this restaurant did not disappoint, that's an understatement. The New York City class paired lovey with the small town atmosphere. The food, I'm convinced, is downright sinful. My hats off to Nick, our server, and to each and every member of the staff -- from the chef to the dishwasher and everyone in between -- you all are amazing! We will definitely be dining here again! read more
