    We had dinner here for a birthday and it was an interesting experience. The staff worked his tail off for all 18 of us and no one helped. I had the catfish bites and a loaded baked potato which were so good. I also tried a fried mushroom omg it was delicious. I was surprised that it was good but I guess it's technically the south. I didn't get pictures of the food but trust me it was yummy. Here's a themed picture at the restaurant.

    The place was so cute and it's next to a running creek that made everything absolutely beautiful. The whole place is glass so everyone can enjoy the scenery. We ordered the typical steaks and everything came out perfectly cooked! Definitely have to stop by again when we are visiting!

    Nice little find just outside of the crazy downtown strip of Gatlinburg. We had just arrived to town, hadn't eaten all day and were starving. All places downtown had a 1.5+ hour wait list. Crystelle was very close to our cabin/Air B and B, had decent prices, and no wait.... So we checked it out! Service and our server was wonderful. Attentive without being overbearing and pushy. The ambiance was really lovely. Our table overlooked the creek that ran along the backside of the restaurant (hence the name), and there was a waterfall effect from the roof. It felt cozy. Food: at my table one ordered the burger and a baked potato, another ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and I ordered the Caesar salad with salmon. The burger and potato was good I was told. I tried my mom's dish, the pasta. Those meatballs were super tender and melt in your mouth. I would order those for me! The homemade marinara was perfectly seasoned and not too sweet. My salad with salmon hit the spot and the dressing was delicious. However, the salmon was hammered. Very overcooked! All in all, if I found myself in the area again I'd be back. I just wouldn't order the salmon again.

    Sports bar outside of Gatlinburg with two levels of parking. Steps to the front entrance or a ramp off to the left for wheelchairs or strollers, which is also where the gender-segregated restrooms are. Everything was hit or miss on a Saturday night when they seemed to be under staffed. Misses like a dirty or empty water glass or incorrect side dish were all eventually remedied. The food was okay. Star of the show was definitely the hot cheese curds with a chunky marina. I really liked the tartar sauce on the catfish, but I thought the broccoli was overcooked. The sauce on the salmon is a little spicy btw, but the sweet potato fries were good with salt. Caveat emptor: the Caesar salad was ginormous. The watermelon mule tastes like a Jolly Rancher.

    Catfish Bites.

    Absolutely nothing bad to say about Crystelle Creek 5 star food and service. Generous portions arrived quickly, plus reasonable prices. Our group had a mix of seafood, pasta, and steak, all delicious. House made salad dressings ( try the blackberry vinaigrette) and pasta sauce. Recommend the catfish bites, NY Strip, and all pasta dishes. We decided to avoid the weekend crowd downtown and so glad we did. Quiet, by the creek... and the free parking alone saved us $20.00. Oh yea, we'll be back.

    Service was manageable, drinks were lousy, not one of three dishes ordered were good. For this price there are much better options.

    My wife and I were in the Smokies recently and decided to try the Best Italian Cafe and Pizzeria…read morethat is located in the Elks Shopping Center and not to be confused with the location directly on the Parkway. We had not visited this location in 10 years or more. We had seen several reviews of the renovation and decided to give it another try. I tried the Creekside Lager that is made just for them. Good choice. We ordered three garlic knots which were very tasty. We split a small antipasto salad which was yummy. My wife ordered the manicotti which she really enjoyed. I ordered the chicken picatta. My dish was good, but the lemon / sourness was too strong and overpowered the dish. I wanted to enjoy it more than I did, but I was concerned about the acid content and possible needing an anti-acid. Our server took good care of us with refills and extra napkins, etc. We really enjoyed the remodel that made it look much cleaner and brighter than back in the old days. I will definitely be back to try more dishes and hopefully a milder lemon butter sauce.

The food is prepared well and fresh. It is really good Italian food. We had many dishes because there were 8 of us. We had everything from rigatoni, stuffed shells, fettuccine alfredo and spicy rigatoni with chicken. It was all tasty... The appetizer we chose were the meatballs and garlic rolls they were very tasty as well. Great place for your family while in Gatlinburg. There are other shops there to visit if you have a wait, so there is something to keep you occupied. Great place.

Just never knew when Taste of Italy was opened or closed. I often wonder how local businesses survive inflation and the unskilled job market. Solorzano's - I did Not make up this name -- Claims to be real Italians from near Naples, Italy. Not fans of Naples Pizza.... Yes, a slight remodel and open from 10:30 am - midnight. We have excellent Pizza in Dayton, OH, and we tend to prefer Mountain and Tennessee cuisine during our Smoky Mountain week. My wife spies Zuppa Di Pesce, and I order Shrimp and Scallops Fra Diavio. Both are excellent, and we recommend a pasta entrée. Solorzano's Gatlinburg offers their design of Gourmet Pizza, and offers this pizza by the slice. It's ok, but a Chicago pizza is our style; and we'll stick with our pasta orders. Solorzano's has been open for several months, but has not learned Marketing - have not seen advance knowledge of this company. Also Biden did not cause Inflation - Lots of Corporate Greed did and Solorzano's shares in this greed. Solorzano's prices are way too high. DO NOT display your political Bias on the Menu! We recommend Solorzano's and hope for the best.

    Let me go ahead and state that this review may be tainted slightly by nostalgia and fond memories…read more A long time ago when my wife and I were newly married the Johnny Carinos in our town was our go to date night. They closed decades ago and despite my being an excellent cook and learning to make several of our favorite recipes, it was never the same. Last night while on vacation, we realized that there was a Johnny Carinos near where we were staying. There was no question what was for dinner. We showed up after a long day of being tourists together. Neither one of us was terribly hungry, but we were not going to let that stop us. She started with a sangria and I ordered a raspberry Italian soda ( I've never seen my drink anywhere except Johnny Carinos and forgot how good they were). We shared a small plate of Italian nachos. They were a little lighter on the Alfredo sauce than we remember but were still fantastic. The fact that they had a small plate now suited us since we were both getting entrees too. She ordered the Chicken Scalopini and I ordered the Chicken Milano (without mushrooms). Both dishes were larger than we remember and we barely dented them before getting full. Both were exactly what we had wanted and cooked flawlessly. I can happily say that Johnny Carinos lived up to my memories .

    The food was very yummy. Love their bread too. The service is really good. Nice people, great food…read moreand lovely ambiance.
