Shaved Brussels salad and added salmon
Theresa L.

It's located on the second floor of the hotel and the food is delicious. I had breakfast here each day (oatmeal, avocado toasts and regular breakfast). Service and food is always consistent. I came for dinner once and had the Brussels salad with salmon, so good!

Excellent dinner and amazing ambiance as we enjoyed dinner while staying at Asbury Ocean Club. Cocktails were incredible while the food was great, I'd highly recommend a night cap here.

Enjoyed some fine dining at this relaxed lounge located in our hotel The Tennessean. The service was fantastic, the staff was very attentive. So I had never had gin before but it sounded adult so I ordered the Gin City in honor of Kiss' last show and their song Cold Gin. Very tasty. Main course was the Panko Pork Milanese. Rustic and hearty, very well done . For desert a NY Cheesecake with a side of caramel and a side of strawberry sauce. They did it to perfection. Would most definitely recommend this place.

Very unique little bar and lounge situated on the second floor of the Tennessean hotel/residences. When you walk in, it looks like the inside of a living room you'd find in a luxury mansion. Couches, plush chairs, and small tables. There's only like 5 tables and only 1 or 2 that seat more than 2 people. It's the sort of place that just feels like a VIP room or private club. For that reason, at first, I wasn't sure if it was open to the public. We sat at a nice table by the window. Really enjoyed the food and appetizers. Although it's a limited menu, you could have a great date night here and feel like it's a very unique experience. Likewise, this would be a great place for a small business meeting. Definitely will be back.

Intimate, clubby space with a great menu and impressive cocktails! The service was very friendly. Great relaxed atmosphere. Everything we had was delicious, from charcuterie plate to Ceasar salad to filet. The Pineapple Express cocktail, their own creation, is one of the best cocktails I've ever had, not too sweet due to the inclusion of Amaro. I'm so glad we decided to dine here rather than in Market Square!

Coq Au Vin Blanc - the most delicious chicken meal I have ever had!
Courtney J.

We decided to eat here while we stayed at the hotel and we were not disappointed. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing. You MUST get the chicken. It was the best chicken I have ever had. It takes a bit longer than most other items but when I ordered it, the bartender said it's worth the wait and she was not wrong. A week later and we are still here talking about how amazing that chicken was.

Wasn't sure how this would be as the don't take reservations and it's inside The Tennessean Hotel but since I was staying there, I thought why not. I was in town to see my daughter and son-in-law for Thanksgiving. Her birthday is a couple days after Thanksgiving, so we always celebrate while we're all together for the holiday. My daughter got the scallops or I should say scallop because there was only two tiny tiny scallops in the entire dish. That was kind of a bummer my son-in-law got the yard bird and said it was delicious. I personally got the Wagyu burger with fries. It was huge! And the fries were, good portion size. We got a bottle of the house Bordeaux and thoroughly enjoyed that all in all it was very good. Don't think we'd get the scallops together though. Service was excellent!

Service was a negative experience 6 employees working but could care less about guest waiting 30min. The delay is service kept us from having time to order food.

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!

1. Ryan and William were amazing at the bar. William was our waiter and he did a fantastic job…read more 2. The food was top quality. 3. The drinks were over the top and William is an amazing bartender with deep knowledge on how to make drinks taste appropriately. 4.

We were in Knoxville for the weekend and wanted something different. The highest rated restaurants…read morewere, for the most part, located in Knoxville's Old Market Square. When we looked at Not Watson's menu and saw scallops, Philly-steak eggrolls along with calamari for starters, we were hooked. After parking in the garage very close to the Square, we walked in around 4:15. The restaurant was already full and bustling. Luckily, we were seated quickly by a welcoming host. The inside of the restaurant is cool, dark and inviting. The store is not a dive but has a pleasant character about it that makes the experience very cool. Should you come during dinner hours, plan on a wait. Nathaniel was our waiter and he was great. He was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us a little requested guidance on what was on the menu. We started off with buffalo wings and corn ribs for appetizers. We ordered the Philly steak eggrolls, tater tots, and fish and chips for entree's. The corn ribs were unique and original. They take a piece of corn, quarter it and then fry the pieces-they were delicious!! Oh, as Nathaniel helpfully noted, this appetizer could feed four people easily. The wings were juicy and meaty. The egg-rolls were first rate. My wife and I split that as an entree. Between the corn and egg-rolls, we had plenty of food. The tater tots were good but took a backseat to the delicious corn and egg-rolls. I didn't forget about the fish and chips...my son ordered that and he loved them! I had a bite and they were some of the best fish I have had. We recently had fish and chips in the Mayfair area of London and this fish was every bit as good as that fish. The batter was very good- not a beer batter but awesome nonetheless. And the portions? Huge!! Whatever food you like, come hungry because there is no shortage of it! We didn't have any dessert simply because we were stuffed and there was plenty left over. Overall, it was a great dinner in a cool place with a great waiter. Next time you're in downtown Knoxville, don't miss Not Watson's Kitchen & Bar. Thanks, Not Watson's!!!

This place was recommended to us and we would highly recommend it!…read more It's located in a cute market square in downtown Knoxville, TN - lots of booths and some tables. We dined on a Sunday afternoon and had the place to ourselves. Service was excellent and fast with many folks checking on us throughout our meal. The menu has sandwiches, fried chicken, chicken fingers, ribs and more! It's definitely more focused on chicken. We ordered the fried chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries, grilled chicken sandwich with avocado, 3-piece chicken tenders and kids chicken and fries. Food arrived very quickly and was extremely hot and fresh! Chicken tenders were fresh and thin - a perfect combination. Fries and sweet potatoes were crunchy on the outside and soft inside. We also had the greens and grits, which my husband raved about. A great southern fried restaurant was big portions and delicious food.

We had the Chicks in a Blanket appetizer which was really good. Loved the bacon dipping sauce. I…read moreordered the bone in Dark meat w mashed potatoes and tomato pie. The chicken was hot and fresh but the tomato pie was cold in the middle. When I say COLD I mean it was cold but the outside was hot, which was weird. I didn't even bother getting a replacement because I think things were taking too long. My cocktail never came out even after waiting 20 minutes. I guess the bartender just was having a rough night even though they weren't busy. The chicken was excellent though and had a great crust!

First, this is a gastropub, not a diner. I had been performing handiman duties for most of the day…read moreand wanted a casual sitdown meal between projects, so I recommend Cazzy's listing be updated. Now, the experience. We did not have any drinks but the offerings cover the local, standard and top shelf tastes. The staff is even invited to events to learn about food and drink parings. Lunch was grab and eat. It was very quiet becasue we were well past the lunch rush and before the early dinners. I needed something more than a salad or bowl even though several were tempting. Not always a burger guy, but a bison burger will draw my attention. You don't see bison much in TN. Delicious. Juicy enough I needed an extra napkin. The second reason I chose the burger was for the carrot fries. I don't ever remember having them before or even seeing them. Their good, no reason they can't be a replacemnt to traditional fries and they don't "sag" as much as sweet potato fries. In my case, the kitchen put potato fries on the plate rather than carrot fries. Our server, Daniel noticed it and brought out a separate plate with proper side. Great service there. Another upgrade is that seasoning on the fries. There are several different ones and they differ byt the dish and fry. It was fun to compare the difference on the plate. So, cazzy's is not at diner but a fine gastropub.
