fresh, creative food and a great wine selection, and an atmosphere that's cozy, warm, and date…read morenight perfect. The cheese board, salads, and pork chop are all standouts, and the non-alcoholic drinks are surprisingly excellent too. finding this place feels like hitting the neighborhood jackpot.

This is a perfectly fine wine bar with creatively designed dishes and a really nice wine list. We…read more(party of four) stopped in for lunch on a Friday and had the mushrooms stuffed with artichoke and spinach, meatballs (with spicy ginger sauce), pulled pork nachos, polenta cake, and a short rib sugo with bucatini. 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.

First, the all black walls with gold trim decor in a historic building, likely over 125 years old…read morewas the ultimate marriage of elegant, romantic, solid historic, sexy gourmet restaurant, and sports bar all combined. Intimate private tables overlook the restaurant and bar from 2 balconies with a darkened room only lit with candlelight on cozy tabletops for two right behind the elegant bar. They actually subtly incorporate about 4 large TVs on each side of the bar which satisfies the local. Univ of Tennessee fans while not ruining the elegant date night atmosphere! Service was also stellar with our tall waiter Carson all in black, doing an attentive but not overbearing first class service. We were on way driving from Knoxville back to Bham, so we did not get to use one of their elegant gold champagne/wine buckets on a stand. However, we all enjoyed the food, which I rate A all the way! Shared delish truffle fries, thinly hand cut wit fresh parm and a truffle dip, only $8! Our other entrees ranged from $27 to $22 for hot honey pepperoni pizza to my salad named The Goat. The Kennedy has a good selection from burgers to steak or market fish from $17-$55. My fried seasoned goat cheese balls on the salad was delish but could have used a little more spinach as it was my entree. The pizza was generous and very wonderfully spicy! The star dish recommended by Carson was hubby's rigatoni with blackened chicken. The restaurant has a very elegant bar at the back artistic photos of Knoxville arranged in matching dark frames with white mats adding character to the black with gold walls. Great place to take a date or company!

The drinks were over the top and William is an amazing bartender with deep knowledge on how to make drinks taste appropriately. 4. I've been coming to downtown Knoxville for a long time and never knew about the Kennedy, will make it a regular stop for me now.

Just ok - granted this spot is probably best for brunch and we came for lunch. They do have a…read morecombined lunch/dinner menu but no lunch deals. Sandwiches seem pricey for ok food - but they're big so we actually had enough leftovers to eat a 2nd time. Service was friendly - also super appreciated that since our server knew we were sharing the two sandwiches, she took time to plate them separately for us incl. halving the fries - thank you! FRENCH DIP - $16.49 plus $2.29 to add bell peppers, caramelized onions, mushrooms, & mozzarella. Sliced roast beef on ciabatta bread w/ side of au jus. Tasted ok. For the side, we chose their Petite House Salad ... there were several icky pieces of mixed greens. I wish staff would take time to remove the mushy pieces when plating - they are pretty obvious and noticeable ... and you can't help question the rest of the meal, sorry but true. TURKEY PESTO CIABATTA - $16.69 Slow roasted turkey (tasted old), bacon, mozzarella, avocado, tomato, baby greens w/ balsamic dressing and basil pesto mayo on grilled ciabatta bread. Sandwich overall tasted good. For the side, we chose the French Fries and honestly they were the highlight of our meal. Back in the day, we got complimentary muffins - however for our visit, we never got them so we asked our server, she then brought a basket of regular bread. Maybe muffins are only served w/ brunch items? Anyway maybe we'll try Mimi's Cafe again for brunch but unlikely for lunch/dinner.

After hearing good vibes about this place so long, I finally came here on a Friday evening. There…read morewere so many spots available for parking and so many seatings available inside. The vibe is amazing! French-style red leather banquettes, dark-wood tables, vintage feel, mirrors with framed arts and warm lighting, it truly feels like dinning in a museum. We got the raisin Madeline to begin with, and the butter is so fluffy. I also become a huge fan of their girdle cake, the tres leches one is so soft and instantly melting in my mouth. I got the jambalaya with penne, the sausage is my favorite part. Friends got omelette with sourdough toast and mushroom melt, both delicious.Our service guy was nice and fun. I would love to come back for a breakfast/brunch experience to try more things on their menu.
