We sat at the bar and the gentleman gave us some background on the facility and also allowed us to sample some of the wines that were made there. I really liked the wines I tried and purchased two bottles to bring home to NC. I was pleased with the customer service I received and I will go back again for a more extensive tour of the entire facility.

Loads of free parking, which is unique downtown. I went for lunch and got the Italian panini sandwich. The bread is toasted extra crispy and is filled with all kinds of stuff. Lots of flavor. Very good. It came with a side salad that was a cut above what I expected. With an iced tea and tax my lunch total was $14.75. Slightly above the average downtown but the quantity and quality was above average too. The place was empty except for me. Give them a try! Park there and ask if it's okay to leave your car in their lot while you walk around downtown. I'm on a mission to try all of the 50+ restaurants for lunch downtown. It's a fun assignment! The waitress was nice and my food came quickly.

The service was good, and my friend and I both really enjoyed our cocktails and entrées--they were definitely the highlight of the meal. We weren't huge fans of the appetizers we tried, but we found out they're leaving the menu soon anyway, so that made sense. On a high note, the pistachio cream dessert was an absolute delight and the perfect way to end the night. Overall, a really lovely experience and I'd definitely go back!

I was disappointed that my food was warm, not hot when served. My sister got a lobster roll "extra stuffed," which did not appear to be extra-stuffed. I got the chicken carbonara and believe that I got a large portion for the price point. The service was a bit on the slower side, but I did not see as many waiters as I thought I would have for a Saturday evening. My expectations were high due to the price point and formality, and I was a bit let down. The vibes in here were fun. I think that if it was better staffed and the seafood portions were priced accordingly, we would have had a better experience and thought we got a better deal for the price.

We started with the Sashimi-Grade Tuna Tostada and Banana Pepper Pimento Cheese--both standout starters with elevated, fresh flavors. For salads, we had the Local Kale Caesar and Farmers Market Salad, which were both well-balanced and fresh. For entrées, we ordered the Border Springs Farm lamb and American Wagyu butcher's cut steak. Both were cooked perfectly to medium-rare--tender, rich, and full of flavor. Dessert was just as impressive, with a chocolate pecan cake and an Italian sponge cake with bright strawberry and basil notes. Overall, a beautifully executed, detail-oriented dining experience and one of the best meals I've had.

Our waitress let us sit in the window seat for some peace and it had a great romantic atmosphere there. We started out at the bar and had drinks and an appetizer then moved to the table after the wait. We had the herb and cheese bread appetizer, state street fancy burger, creamy wood smoked tomato linguine with chicken and a cherry bomb pizza to split. Everything was perfect. My burger was cooked exactly to my liking and the chicken was tender in the pasta dish. The pizza is very flavorful but not overly greasy and "heavy." We also split a fantastic, fresh and monstrous wedge salad as we were trying to sample a little of everything. All this combined with a great value in price compared to the quality of food. We can't wait to go back.

At midday on a weekday (spring-2026), this warm-feeling comfortable pub was active but not crowded. Of course we had beer-battered fish & chips: tender sweet cod in a not-too-thick crunchy flavorful coating, with fresh greens, onions, and tomatoes. Served with piping-hot thin fries, hand-cut to give a variety of crispier vs. soft bites. You could get that as a small-plate, as a Po'Boy sandwich, or as a main. And we had a bowl of thick rich flavorful creamy chowder. Delicious, satisfying dishes. They had a nice selection of deep crusty savory pies, too. We loved their amazing range of single-malt whiskeys, including some like a smokey softly-fruity Port Askaig that we haven't seen elsewhere. We liked slowly sipping a strongly-peaty young Islay, like 10-year Laphroaig, and Boyd's also had plenty of smoother well-aged pours up and down the price-range. They also had a nice selection of crafts, ales, stouts, ciders, and several Scottish brews. We saw that they have live music almost every evening (not Mondays), with midday music Sat and Sun. Scottish, Irish, bluegrass, old-time, classic country, and more! Next time we have to fit that into our schedule. And fútball (soccer) of course! Boyd's Jig & Reel is a must-visit in the middle of Knoxville!
