    Catfish Sandwich
    Trisha K.

    Ate here on a quick trip across the Tennessee border. I was with my husband and adult children. Everything was excellent. My daughter ordered grilled chicken. My son ordered steak and shrimp. My other son ordered shrimp fettuccine. My husband ordered philly cheese steak sandwich. I ordered catfish sandwich. We also got spinach dip. No one was disappointed. We will definitely be back. Worth the drive. The servers were incredibly friendly and attentive. Alyssa was our server. If you get her, consider yourself incredibly fortunate.

    Chicken tenders

    Came with my family after we rode on the Polar Express train experience. We waited 15 minutes for the waitress to come get our drink order and then over an hour and a half for our food. When we got the food it was raw. The waitress didn't even seem fazed when we showed her the chicken. She just took it away and went on bringing out other peoples food. Overall terrible experience, but at least it looked pretty with the Christmas decorations.

    Fried Green Tomatoes and fried Pickles!

    Sauce in their spaghetti and meatballs is remarkably tasty. Tidy dining room, friendly staff.

    Today we decided to get our of town and took a 45 minute drive to London, KY…read more Obviously wanting to eat somewhere different while we were there, we decided on Gondolier and I sure am happy that we did! Our waiter was Parker and he was absolutely awesome and very attentive. When we were seated, Parker brought us 2 complimentary piping hot breadsticks with marinara sauce. We were pleased to hear that these were all-you-can-eat because they were very good! They have quite a few lunchtime specials and from 2:00-4:00 (weekdays) all sandwiches are half off. My wife ordered the lasagna and I ordered the House Calzone. The lasagna was a HUGE serving and very tasty. My House Calzone had ham, ground beef, pepperoni, sautéed mushrooms & onions, mozzarella & ricotta cheese. Oh my! How do I describe this deliciousness! Let's just say that after the first bite, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the flavors! The crust is light and fluffy and it had plenty of ingredients. It was big enough for 2 people to share, but (except for the bite that I gave my wife) I devoured the whole thing! Gondolier is what I would call a small chain restaurant. There are a few scattered around (even one in Sevierville, TN) but they are still small enough to always use top quality ingredients and keep their prices very affordable. There use to be one closer to me in Berea, KY, but unfortunately it closed. You may think this crazy to read, but Gondolier has one of the best cheeseburgers that I have ever had! Without a doubt, we will make the 45 minute drive one-way just to go eat at Gobdolier again and again. Located just off exit 41, its an easy stop off of the interstate if you are traveling through the area. These guys are doing it right! Don't miss it and be sure to ask for Parker to be your waiter.

    Excellent! Don't listen to the other disgruntled customers. If a cold frosty mud of draft beer and…read morea great pizza makes your day, you have come to the right place! The server visited my table 4 times in the first 10 minutes. There's nothing within 30 miles that can beat it! Steve

It is away from from the beaten path of the Smokies and they recommend reservations for dinner. Open at 3pm, I called and he gave us a 6:15 time which worked well on a slower Wednesday. The entrance gives way to a nice bar area with a few TVs, booths and white linen tables. We each settled on a bottle of Sangiovese and Pinot Grigio and the mussels appetizer and bruschetta. Our waiter Andrei was professional and prompt. We decided to have a glass of wine and enjoy conversation and our apps without ordering our entrees and expediting the occasion. Andrei checked back several times and kept our waters full and was very patient. We settled on clams fettuccini with a white wine butter sauce and my lady got the mussels in the same sauce. It was a garlic lover's delight and I'm certain I'll never be a vampire. We enjoyed the setting and the atmosphere was relaxed. A liquid dessert pour of tequila and whiskey settled us and we skipped dessert although it was tempting. Overall the prices were a bit higher but the service was excellent and our meal rang true. It was a great first impression and we had leftovers. It will be added into our rotation and look forward to trying other pastas and seafood.
