Their espresso martini is probably the best I've ever had -- perfectly balanced, smooth, and dangerously easy to drink. Every bartender here is incredibly knowledgeable. They can make anything you ask for and then walk you through the history and origins of the cocktail like you're getting a mini masterclass with your drink. The bar itself is beautiful, with an impressive selection of spirits and a menu full of creative cocktails featuring ingredient combinations you'd never expect to work together -- but somehow they absolutely do. It's also one of the best places in the city to sit back and people-watch while enjoying a perfectly made drink. Do not skip The Times -- honestly, it's worth going out of your way to stop there.

A Memorable Evening at Raven Steakhouse: A Refined Gem in Downtown Maryville…read moreAs a person with a particular appreciation for establishments that elevate special occasions, I recently had the pleasure of dining at Raven Steakhouse (211 W Broadway Ave, Maryville, TN 37801), and I can confidently say it sets a new standard for fine dining in the region. From the moment of arrival, the experience was seamless. Our reservation was honored promptly, and we were escorted through an elegantly appointed dining room that strikes the perfect balance: sophisticated and refined, with beautiful linens, soft lighting, and an atmosphere of quiet luxury that feels welcoming rather than intimidating. The space exudes timeless sophistication without a hint of pretension--a rare and refreshing quality. Our server, Alene--who doubles as a skilled sommelier--approached with genuine warmth and effortless grace. Her deep knowledge of both the menu and wine pairings proved invaluable, guiding us thoughtfully through an impressive selection of dishes. Attentive without ever being intrusive, she anticipated needs with remarkable precision, creating that ideal sense of being cared for rather than merely served. Alene's charm and professionalism elevated the entire evening. We began with two Raven Salads, which immediately demonstrated the kitchen's commitment to quality and restraint. The artisan mixed greens were impeccably fresh and crisp, serving as an ideal foundation for the other components. The bright acidity from pickled onions and the house vinaigrette was masterfully balanced against the rich, unctuous egg and perfectly portioned Benton's bacon--a locally revered ingredient that is too often overused. Here, it was handled with exemplary subtlety, allowing each element to shine. For entrées, my companion selected the Chilean Sea Bass, paired flawlessly by Alene with an unoaked Chardonnay, while I enjoyed the Prime Rib Eye. Both preparations were executed with precision: the sea bass moist and delicate, the rib eye richly marbled and cooked to absolute perfection. That first bite prompted the kind of involuntary satisfaction that only truly exceptional cuisine inspires--eyes closed, a contented lean back. The wine pairings did more than complement; they elevated and transformed the dishes, creating a harmonious whole that felt greater than the sum of its parts. An unexpected highlight came with dessert. We had initially ordered the signature 10-layer chocolate cake, only to learn the chef deemed that day's batch imperfect. Rather than disappointment, we were met with gracious transparency and a complimentary replacement. We chose the Bananas Foster, a dish new to me, and it proved transcendent: warm, caramelized bananas nestled alongside creamy house-made ice cream delivered pure indulgence. I now find myself wary of ordering it elsewhere, lest it fall short of this benchmark. To accompany the meal, we enjoyed an expertly crafted Old Fashioned and a pair of Espresso Martinis, each presented in ideal glassware and demonstrating true mixology artistry. In a year just beginning, Raven Steakhouse transformed our first "date night" of 2026 into an unforgettable celebration of culinary excellence and impeccable service. The drive home was filled with conversation about when we might return--proof of an experience that lingers long after the last bite. For anyone seeking a luxurious dinner where outstanding food, thoughtful wine and cocktail pairings, and genuinely gracious service converge, Raven Steakhouse is wholeheartedly recommended. This downtown Maryville treasure not only lives up to its elevated reputation but surpasses it. I eagerly anticipate my next visit.

Every time we go, I'm kind of shocked it's not absolutely packed. This is part of the Foothills Meats family, and if you know their spots (the butcher shop, the food truck, The Grange, etc.), you already know--they don't miss. So we went in the first time pretty confident, and they absolutely delivered. The space itself is great, but the rooftop is the real standout--easily one of the best views in Black Mountain. It's such a good spot to sit, have a drink, and hang out. Speaking of drinks--the bar is excellent. The bartenders have always been great, super easy to sit at the bar and enjoy yourself. They've got a strong liquor selection and fun, well-balanced cocktails. Now the food. Everything we've had has been consistently good, but our last visit really stood out. We shared the pork katsu sandwich, the sweet potato biscuits, and the poutine. The pork katsu was done really well--crispy on the outside, tender inside, with that classic crunch from the cabbage and a slightly sweet, tangy katsu-style sauce. I also really liked that the sauce was on the side so you could control each bite. The sweet potato biscuits surprised us--in the best way. Those are easy to mess up, and these were not. Soft, flavorful, slightly sweet with that savory balance, paired with ham, sorghum butter, smoked cheddar, and red eye gravy--it's a really thoughtful combination that just works. And the poutine... so good. Crispy fries, rich mushroom gravy, and cheese curds that actually hold their texture. It's hearty without being heavy, and every bite felt balanced. For the level of quality they're putting out, the prices are very reasonable--which makes it even more surprising that it's not more crowded. It's right in downtown Black Mountain, but we actually drive all the way from Flat Rock to come here--and it's absolutely worth it every time. Overall, this place just nails it. Great drinks, really solid food, beautiful setting--and somehow still flying a bit under the radar. Definitely worth checking out.

The sandwiches come with french fries but I got the Greek pasta salad instead. I should've got the french fries because I paid $2 up charge for weak pasta salad.
