    Fried fish and fries
    Bob T.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    An absolute must visit if you're in the area! We were in town visiting friends and they said we had…read moreto do here and I'm so glad they suggested it. We ended up talking about this meal all weekend long. Our friends Tyler and Lindsay have come multiple times and they guided us through the menu and what they recommended. We ordered: - house sourdough - chicken liver mousse - sugar baby watermelon salad - pappardelle - duck breast - half chicken x2 Every single thing was amazing! The vibes were cute, the service was great. Such a hidden gem but would absolutely come back to check out other seasonal menus.

    Had been long looking forward to a return to Sewanee, particularly to have the opportunity to check…read moreout Judith Tavern. Unfortunately, left pretty disappointed. The space is attractive, though it's far from being any sort of "tavern". It's rather loud, industrial. The worst aspect of the space are the tables for 2, which are small cocktail tables, really sized to hold a couple drinks, not dinner for 2. One is left with the impression that they're more interested in fitting as many diners as possible into the space rather than providing a fine dining experience. So much so that the wait staff apologized for the table size several times. Menu varies with the season, though we found most items on the online "sample" menu were on the dinner menu that night as well. Roasted oysters were plated very attractively, the oysters were plump, and the topping tasty, though several of mine were refrigerator cold - clearly made in advance and not properly heated for serving. Starter of sourdough bread with chili oil. The bread was wonderfully rustic, the chili oil was actually garlic oil. For my main, I had the "signature" trout. Pleasant enough, a nicely cooked filet swimming in a brothy sauce. Accompanied by a few small rounds of potato, what amounted to a single thinly sliced fingerling, I left hungry and considered stopping for a burger on the way home. The wife was underwhelmed with the duck. Kudos for providing an upscale dinner destination in Sewanee. Though not an option that we'd consider revisiting.
