Great drinks and service, but beware the checkout screen…read more ​The drinks and service at Unknown Caller are genuinely fantastic. I highly recommend the "Bartender's Choice" cocktail option--the staff is incredibly skilled, and the drinks they crafted were awesome. ​However, management needs to fix their highly deceptive checkout flow. The bar chooses not to bake Tennessee's mandatory 15% Liquor-by-the-Drink tax into their menu prices. When the bartender flips the POS tablet to pay, the system completely hides the itemized receipt. It jumps straight to a final total that includes a combined 24.25% in state and liquor taxes. ​To make matters worse, the screen presents ridiculous suggested tip options of 20%, 30%, and 40%--which are calculated on top of that heavily taxed final total rather than the subtotal. If you just tap a prompt, you end up aggressively tipping on hidden taxes. ​Come for the excellent cocktails and great bartenders, but ignore the suggested buttons and manually calculate your tip based on the actual menu price of your drinks.

What a great addition to the area's dining experience! We…read moreintentionally went on an off time to be able to linger over our choices. We started with a couple of cocktails with him choosing a house specialty. It was really tasty but due to the Baileys in it, it should have been listed in the after dinner offerings. The last swallow was left in the glass as it was heavily dusted with cinnamon. We both would enjoy it with dessert and I definitely want one for myself next time. My Cosmos was probably one of the best I've had in the area. It wasnt overly tart so you could actually taste the cranberry yet the vodka wasn't covered up. We chose the appetizer platter which is served in a cute little rotating basket with the dips in cups attached to it all. The cauliflower bites had a standard flour breading which was fine for dipping in ranch dressing. The fried zucchini was excellent as there were some great herbs in the breading which complemented the marinara sauce. However, the salted pretzel bites were disappointing as there was an under taste of scorched oil or bread to them. Not something I would order again but we used the cheese sauce which worked really well with the cauliflower bites. I ordered the sliders with sweet potato fries as my entree. The fries were long cuts and extra crispy as they were most likely dusted with cornflour before frying. I really liked these fries and wouldn't hesitate to order them again. The sliders had a good flavor but were a bit tough being very lean. I would suggest they be served with a bacon jam or a tasty aioli as they were served plain with lettuce, tomato, and pickle which prompted me to request mayo. He ordered the salmon which was amazing. The only thing I would change is to add a little more aioli to the serving as that enhanced the herbed salmon so very well. The asparagus was a perfect al dente but the tips were slightly overdone and a tiny bit crunchy. Still, we prefer an al dente vegetable rather that mush. The mashed potatoes were an interesting taste, one can smell a touch of garlic but it doesn't overwhelm the dish which is a standard mistake chefs make. The faint garlic and other seasoning made for an enjoyable dish. The service was friendly and prompt as they weren't busy. Veronica was knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. We definitely want to return and taste more menu items and I thoroughly regret not getting pics of their cocktail menu as there are some interesting looking concoctions on it. So, if you are looking for a new and worthwhile dining experience, try Angelie's and you won't regret it.

I would not recommend this place for NYE. They had an extremely limited menu that was not published beforehand. If it had been, we wouldn't have gone. There were several gin drinks, one bourbon, and one mocktail you could add vodka to. That's all. You couldn't order any other drinks. We hate gin. So we stuck with the bourbon cocktail. It was 0% consistent. They said it was a batch, but every drink we had tasted different. Maybe the mix wasn't mixed well. Not the end of the world. It was still a decent drink. What was terrible is that only half way through service they ran out of the drink and would not make more. They said they were saving the rest for the next seating. So we were left with no drink options we liked. That's a big deal when you've *bought tickets* to be there. So we paid to be at a bar where we weren't given access to anything we liked and weren't told this would be the case when we bought the tickets. You have a whole bar there. Come up with another drink on the fly to replace the one you're out of. After several people complained, the bartenders said they would pour bourbon neat or on the rocks. Yeah, I can do that at home for free. If you are going to make people pay for access to an extremely limited menu make sure you don't run out of the key ingredients. The snacks were good and decently plentiful, but they weren't worth the ticket price (sushi that was not on ice, cheese, meat, fruit, crackers, deviled eggs, cookies) Would I come back? I'd like to give it another try only because Cookeville needs a place like this. If this was in another city, I wouldn't be back.

When the special of the night is "Alfredo... with chicken, pork, or steak, take your pick!" and it's also already on the menu... this is a red flag. I quickly started scanning the menu for something that might not give me food poisoning. When the food is stored in outside freezers and there's a horde of live cats running around everywhere... it's a red flag. I love good bar food, but this was not good. My wife's Philly Cheesesteak tasted like propane gas. My chili dog was on par with something you might get at a junior high football game. Even my kids rejected their chicken tenders, which is saying something. Just 100% industrial, frozen, crap. The $13 margarita was even bad. It tasted like bad sour mix and may have had a drop or two of tequila in it. Giving one star for the server, who tried her best. And the location on the river was very nice. Service was slow too though. This was the worst $85 "dinner" I've had in a very, very long time. For the love of god, reduce the size of your menu and do a few things really well. No one wants a bunch of frozen entrees at a bar.
