I ordered the crab cakes, and they were absolutely delicious--full of crab, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. My wife had the grilled shrimp, and she loved it as well. Everything was fresh and cooked just right. Great food, excellent service, and a smooth experience despite the crowd. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Gatlinburg!

The first order of crab didn't want to break or come out of the shell, it was too cold. The rest of our orders were hot and nicely broken. The butter is garlic butter? It's very off putting for us, this tastes like butter you brush on bread for garlic bread. Our service was super slow. The waiter tried to keep up after we initially got our first order 45 minutes after we got there. He was also the bar tender, it took quite a while to get our margarita flight too. I won't be back for this and it's really the only reason we visited. To get your moneys worth, you'd need to have two plus hours to waste waiting for your food.

Yummy Bowl is such a fun and unique dining experience--we loved it! The concept is build-your-own…read morebowl, where you pile it high with noodles, veggies, and as much raw meat as you want for one price, then hand it off to be cooked. If you're squeamish about raw meat, the line might not be for you--but it's so worth it once it's cooked! Michelle explained everything really well, and you can even sample the sauces before adding them, plus there are tons of spices to customize your bowl. I loved that you can add a whole uncracked egg on the side for them to cook--such a cool touch. Another tip: on your little sheet write that you want your rice on the side. They also have a huge sushi menu, and we're already planning to go back to try the sashimi boat for two, which looks like a great deal.

The manager stopped by at our table to see if everything went well and if we were enjoying our food. (Which we were!!) the grilled Caesar salad was scrumptious, and the kids Mac and cheese was finger licking good! You could tell that the Mac and cheese was house made because it tasted super fresh. The decoration inside was cool and definitely gave sea food vibes. The food came out very quickly as well as desert. I recommend the cheesecake it was velvety goodness. Even though the menu font was a tad hard to read and the key lime pie was more of a cheesecake feel, it's still a no brainer. 5 stars!!!

Don't bring a bill while people are still eating mains....and don't bring it then ask if anyone wants dessert Fried is easy, best items like the lobster roll and shrimp are great but not fried or cold.

We've done both now, they are both great experiences. But if you want the less formal lounge, you have to call to be able to make that reservation. The online reservations put you in the formal dining room.

We tried Raven for the first time tonight, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. First, Madison…read morewas an absolute gem. She was attentive without hovering, had great recommendations, and made our first visit even better. We started with cocktails, and I couldn't decide between the Clover Club and the Crimson Mirage. I'm so glad we tried both! The Crimson Mirage was beautiful, served in a dainty glass with a flower petal sugar rim, but the Clover Club stole the show with its silky egg white foam. We also ordered the focaccia bread and made the best decision of the night by saving a few pieces to dip into the spicy lobster bisque. Do not skip the bisque! It may be a small portion, but it's packed with flavor. And despite the name, it wasn't very spicy at all. I don't handle much heat, and it was perfectly mild. For dinner, we shared the surf and turf with lobster. Everything was excellent. I got to try the filet cooked medium-rare with the rich demi-glace, along with the mashed potatoes and asparagus, which were cooked perfectly. We also ordered the baked potato, and it's definitely large enough to share. Pro tip: use the leftover butter from the focaccia with the potato--it was delicious! We wanted dessert, but we were simply too full. That just gives us another reason to come back. We also learned they have a happy hour at the bar, which is now on our list. The atmosphere was one of our favorite parts. It's dark, cozy, and has a sophisticated lounge vibe. Watching the bartender enthusiastically shaking cocktails added to the experience, and we appreciated that there seems to be both a lively bar area and a more traditional dining room. Raven is a fantastic addition to the downtown strip. We can't wait to come back and try the scallops.

While visiting Knoxville, TN, my friends were craving a seafood boil, so we ended up at Storming…read moreCrab--and I'm so glad we did! The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, and I believe there's also a bar area. We were seated right away, which was a great start. Their menu has a little bit of everything, from appetizers and gumbo to customizable seafood boils with different seasoning and spice options. Before our meal, they brought out their cheesy crab bread, and unfortunately I didn't snap a picture because we all devoured it within minutes. It was that good! I ordered a half pound of crawfish, a half pound of snow crab legs, and a lobster tail with the Cajun seasoning, "Make It Hot." Everything was delicious! The snow crab legs were packed with flavor, and I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the lobster tail--it was incredibly meaty, buttery, and cooked perfectly. The boil also came with sausage, corn, and potatoes, making it a hearty meal. I also have to give a shoutout to our server, Amanda. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. She checked on us often, cleared the table as we finished, and gave great recommendations when we had questions about the menu. If I ever find myself back in Tennessee, I'd definitely come back to Storming Crab!

It's a good size place, and with that comes a LOT of internal noise. My sister and I had a hard time having normal conversation. We had a great waitress, friendly and smiling. She also made sure we got whatever we needed. They stay you with a bunch of free starters, yummy coleslaw, pinto beans, and hush puppies, but themselves enough for a meal! The food was...smeh. I got what was supposed to be fried catfish, but arrived baked - and greasy. I ended up sending it back. It was a fun place to visit, but I didn't feel the quality of the food, and the volume of the place works make it worth a return trip. I should also note - the staff, from waitress, to the busses deserve kudos, they kept that place moving!

Immediately, I loved their quaint interior decorated with octopuses and mermaids. The mermaid at the helm of the bar was just Instagram worthy by herself. We were seated right away and our server was the delightful Brooke. She was so helpful in her recommendations, as it was our first time here. I ended up getting the fish tacos. I loved the tender mahi mahi and the slightly hot sauce in the tacos. My better half was happy with his Pearl Burger. We both agreed that the hand cut fries were amazing and we devoured all of them. For drinks we just did soda, and ended up the meal with a cappuccino. Big thanks to Brooke for always being on top of our drinks as well, and taking such great care of us. My tip: make reservations!!
