Wow - amazing from start to finish. Interior was nice and modern, with a well stocked bar, tables and booth options. Service was top notch. Created by a hostess, seated promptly, and server showed up quickly to introduce himself. Server was attentive but not intrusive. Food was absolutely amazing. The beef Wellington was perfectly cooked, the mashed potatoes were a generous portion and absolutely delicious. Asparagus was grilled and delicious. All in all one of my top meals of all time. I highly recommend this place for a special occasion. read more

Ice needs to be burned more frequently. Smells like fish and is very unpleasant in any drink. If you're not getting filet mignon, don't get an entree. Chicken and dumplings was very questionable. Vegetables were bruised brown and the dark meat flavor was too overpowering to enjoy. Giving 3 stars only for the espresso martini honestly. read more

This was out fourth trip to Elkmont. Our previous trips have been exceptional. As always, our cocktails shined & foot was delicious. Shout out to our bartender, who has helped us all the times we've been. Richie was our server this trip. He was patient & knowledgeable; our dinner started off on the right foot. However, as things unfolded, the ball was dropped. Food not arriving or being forgotten l, which did affect the pacing of dinner. It was unfortunate & I felt like Ritchie could have easily recovered if he'd made a small effort, but he did not. It was not busy, however I also did not see many servers & the bartenders also left while we were still eating. read more

Excellent food & service! Can be a little loud as the restaurant fills up. I'm glad that we found this little gem...

We were recently in Knoxville visiting family, and my spouse and I had a very good meal at Elkmont Station, located in western Knox County, in Farragut. The menu had a nice variety of foods, good cocktails and non-alcoholic cocktails, excellent liquor choices, as well as good wine, and quite good service. We had Pappardelle Bolognese (handmade pappardelle pasta, ground short rib, mirepoix, aged parmesan - delicious), Roasted Carolina Trout (with sweet corn and okra purloo, garlic green beans, citrus herb butter - very good), and we added a wedge salad. Dessert was a chocolate and strawberry crème brûlée. The interior is both modern but with some rustic wood elements. Nice table appointments (silverware, glassware, cloth napkins). Nice bathroom fittings. We sat in one of the more private booths, along the wall. The tables are well spaced apart. We chose this restaurant without much research, and were pleasantly surprised because the menu, drinks, ambiance, etc., did not feel particularly "Knoxville" or overtly "southern". Our excellent server was Andrew. We will certainly return, the next time in Knoxville. read more

Overall, my review is similar to the one that I wrote awhile back. The main amendment now is that the place is a bit noisy. While there, I could barely carry on a conversation because the poor acoustics carried the noise from all the other tables. So, not a good date setting if it's full. Food wise, I'd rank it as one of the better options in West Knoxville. Great selection on the menu and I've enjoyed everything I've ordered here. Service remains pretty good. Overall: Recommended. But, caution if it's busy and noisy. read more

We had an extremely positive experience at Elkmont Station! Part of that positive experience was having reservations because they do get busy on weekend nights. We were drawn to this place because it's one of the few in Knoxville with beef Wellington. Everything from our fried cheese appetizer to the beef Wellington to our drinks was amazing and our waiter was so attentive and kind. The restaurant is not overly loud, but from certain seats, you do have a view of the kitchen, which can't be entertaining if you're like me! read more

Elkmont Station - Beef Wellington - Seafood Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

Our 51st anniversary, so we made reservations several days ahead and looked forward to a scrumptious meal and a romantic evening. The restaurant is larger than it looks from the outside, and when patrons walk in, they are greeted by an elegantly appointed dining room with wagon-wheel- like chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, a chef's bar on the right, tables in the middle and a full classy-looking drink bar in the back on the left. We asked to be seated in one of the more intimate booths, but alas, there are only 3 and all 3 had been reserved that evening. Instead, the hostess directed us to a 2-top near the wall and across from the bar. Barrett (sp?) announced himself as our server and did a wonderful attentive job taking care of us. NOW, to the food. Here's where the restaurant, in my opinion, lost a star -- my spouse thinks 2 stars because his entree did not meet his expectations. I started with an Old Fashioned cocktail for $16, We brought our own bottle of wine, and Elkmont Station charged us a $20 corkage fee for the screw-top bottle we opened ourselves... no cork. We ordered a seared scallops appetizer ($18) with the mollusks served on mini-pancakes and dotted with a cream sauce that lacked any distinguishable flavor though it was tasty. Apparently, they came with brandied apples, yet we couldn't detect any. Regardless, they were unique and good. My $49 lamb shank was served over a delicious, creamy-and nutty-flavored polenta (apparently with a mushroom twist). Absolutely delicious polenta! The shank was tender yet Costco sells an Herb de Provence lamb shank, and when prepared correctly, tastes equally as good. The Low Country Bouillabaisse my spouse ordered ($30) was nothing he had expected. It consisted of white fish, hominy, fingerling potatoes and mussels in a clear broth (no scallops that the menu had indicated). A small piece of herb-buttered and broiled crusty bread sat on top so diners could soak up the broth. He could have ordered more bread, yet that would have cost extra. We also had to raise our voices to hear each other as the restaurant was noisy. We walked out with a $147.70 bill plus a sizable tip - a hefty tab for a dinner where we expected just a tad more for this momentous occasion. read more

A very serious contender for one of Knoxville's best restaurants. The experience of fine dining can be found here with an exceptional bar menu and an incredible food menu. The staff provides an overall service level that is hard to find in the Knoxville market. The place is very beautiful inside and in all honesty would be considered one of the best places in the city by many. read more

Have been twice now and both times have been great experiences. The vibe is warm and inviting, and the staff have always been friendly and attentive. But the best part is the food. The Duck à l'orange and Elk Chops are perfection in both taste and presentation, and the craft cocktails are definitely worth a try. And of course it's one of the only locations in Knoxville to enjoy Beef Wellington. read more

Cheers to great food... not an average menu or presentation .. tastefully presented in a warm and relaxing atmosphere ... thank you Horatio for being a warm and inviting server and your recommendations were a hit! Starting off with muscles in a curry sauce.... My only recommendation is I would love a handful of beautiful noodles put underneath that sauce because giving up that sauce once the muscles were gone was hard for me.!!! Second appetizer was the scallops which are one of my favorites as well ...placed on top of an amazing white sauce that was perched on a mini pancake with candied onions off to the side ... the scallops were the best I have ever had!!!... and what an amazing presentation Unfortunately, our dinner, which was wonderful was not photographed. My husband and I split the crispy skin salmon, which was great, and my son had the duck..which he's had before and gave us a bite and I will say I've never had that before and it was amazing. ... it was featured on his plate with grits that were cheesy and beyond delightful and greens off to the side of that.....a beautiful plate. My husband and I both had the jailhouse cocktail which the vodka was what is available at the BUSHY Mountain prison if you've ever gone there... on one of their tours!!!... there's a vodka bar after....wonderful drink... we actually had two!! I hear the brunch is wonderful and I can only imagine ... kudos.. the atmosphere was amazing. The service was perfect and the food was exceptional.... if you've not tried Elkmont station, please put it on your bucket list. read more

I've driven by here multiple times, tempted to try but, higher prices and good but not great reviews kept me away. The reviews over the past 4 months however have improved by a lot, mostly 5's so I had to give it a try. We came early on a Saturday and had two appetizers and one entree. The portions were much larger than what I expected. The Smoked Cheddar Hush Puppies consisted of 4 Puppies in a bowl with a roasted poblano aioli at the base, I had 10 good bites out of the two I had. Rich but not overly dense and lightly fried along with a delicious aioli to dip them in. My wife choose the cheese board. The board had 3 types of cheeses, candied pecans, a toasted baguette and mostarda. It was a nice mix of tastes. The Short Rib Gnocchi was outstanding. The ragout was well done and the ricotta gnocchi was dense and filling. The service was excellent. The ambience I would describe as rustic elegant. It was better than expected and a great addition to Farragut. read more

What an amazing find. Casual dress, 5 star dining. Andrew was our server and he did NOT disappoint. Great recommendations, attentive, knowledgeable. If you like whiskey, this place is a must. If you like exceptional food, this place is a must. My party had the cheese plate - such yummy offerings - and fried green beans for apps. Entrees of duck breast, pork chop, a seafood special, short rib, and steaks. The sides are out of this world - Brussel sprouts, greens, butternut squash puree were BIG hits. Or whiskey fans loved the GreenBriar Dylan, which is an experience at the table - do it! The old fashion was outstanding and comes with a cookie! Other mixed drinks were inventive and delish. We will be back. Thanks, Andrew! read more

Had a larger party dinner here when family was in town. Very warm and welcoming setting with rustic vibes but still a modern feel with an open kitchen area. Our server was fantastic and very accommodating in dealing with young and old family members. Good cocktail and wine selection, house cocktail creations are fun plays on classics. Menu is small(in a good way) but diverse and with 10 people in our party there was something for everyone. Standouts were the trout, the shrimp and grits, and the filet. read more

Another great meal on the books at Elkmont Station in W. Knoxville. Caleb served the 6 people in my party. The wine, the cocktails and the food were all well above reproach. Caleb did a fabulous job making us feel special and I cannot say enough about the filet medallions with broccolini and potatoes puree. So delicious. We all agreed we'll do this again and again. Great job, Chef Charlie! read more

Elkmont is a gorgeous and delicious addition to Farragut. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The kind you know if you come back a couple times they'd remember your name. They also really know the menu too. Their suggestions were perfect. We started with the scallops. They were cooked perfect, and the bacon cream whatever was under it complemented it perfectly. It didn't overpower the dish at all. Next we shared the Short Rib Gnocchi. Again, perfectly balanced dish. Delicious and filling. Finally we finished with the cream brûlée. Classic and delicious. Drinks were a couple different old fashions and an Appalachian Club Paloma. They were perfectly prepared, and cery We will have to return to try more. read more

We love this fine dining restaurant in Farragut . My wife and I have made it our regular place to go on Sunday evenings for date night. The interior has a beautiful rustic feel. And the bar has a very comfortable feeling. Everything we've had has been excellent. One of our favorites is the marinated pork chop. And the duck confit fritters are out of this world. I used to meet friends there for happy hour quite often when they carried my favorite beer, Wicked Weed Pernicious. Nate, Derek and Averie our great knowledgeable bartenders. It would be great if they had it on draft, but unfortunately, now they don't even have the cans. Nonetheless I highly recommend the place if you're looking for a great date night place to go in Farragut. read more

We're always open to trying new restaurants and this was our first time at this one. From the time we walked in the door we were made to feel welcome and were very well looked after. Our waiter, Nate, was excellent. He was full of suggestions and very well versed in the menu and how the dishes were prepared, as you would expect at a high end restaurant. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. We started with the duck confit, which was wonderful. For our main I had the ricotta gnocchi with braised short rib. EXCELLENT!! You don't see ricotta gnocchi very often so that was a nice touch. My wife had the marinated pork chop over squash purée with grilled brussel sprouts. Again, excellent. Nate checked back often enough to make sure that we were well looked after but not too often to be intrusive. All in all an outstanding night out. If you don't have this one on your list you owe it to yourself to add it. read more

I recently met two girlfriends at Elkmont Station for dinner. We had a reservation and were immediately seated at our table. The interior is very elegant and chic, and considerably larger than I expected from driving by. We ordered a bottle of wine and a couple of appetizers. The Pimento Cheese Fritters, which were served with a red pepper jam, were amazing! We also tried the Smoked Chicken Egg Rolls, which were okay but none of us were particularly a fan. For entrees, I chose the Shrimp & Grits, while my two friends each chose the Short Rib Gnocchi. We all really enjoyed the dishes we selected. Our server was great, and we had a good experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

Got to come for the recent grand opening! Overall I'm giving a solid 4.25/5 +1 - Venue & Look +1 - Parking & Location +1 - Cleanliness & Layout +0.75 - Staff & Service +0.5 - Food & Drinks Overall my experience was a positive one. Was able to find it via google maps and used the waitlist feature they have to make sure we had a place before we left to come. All the drinks our party had were great, and water service was as expected. The venue has an interesting contrast between the outside brick to the rustic appearance inside - kind of cool, IMO. Staff service met expectations but was hit or miss. First half had check-ins at all the right times, second half we were waiting for being asked for the bill a bit long. Food was pretty good; I'd say it will only keep getting better now that they are getting into a better rhythm with customers. The fave was definitely the egg rolls. I also asked about dessert, no dessert menu and could not send the crime brûlée to go at that point in time. WIll likely be back in a few months to see if things keep enhancing the experience. Go try it and support the opening! read more

Excellent food in a hip welcoming environment. Pork belly tostadas were fabulous - very flavorful on a crunchy tortilla. The crab in the crab cake was from Indonesia - so delicate and sweet, with a corn relish. Pork chop was cooked perfectly and smoked grits and Brussel sprouts were perfect accompaniments. Delicious! read more

Had heard and read a number of things about Elkmont Station but never found the right time to visit. That changed Sunday night as I had my mother in town and wanted to treat her to a great dinner out. We arrived for our 7 pm reservation and were promptly seated at a preset table. Our waiter Horatio took little time getting us well versed in the menu and style of the venue. My mother had a glass of sparkling rose and I enjoyed their featured Greenbriar's Dylan with my meal. We split the pimento fritters as an appetizer and they were fantastic. I followed with a French onion soup that was very well balanced and flavorful. Our entrees were the short rib gnocchi and the Elkmont Wellington. Both were incredibly flavorful, filling and presented beautifully. We ended the evening by with house made ice cream (white chocolate raspberry and peanut butter and jelly). I couldn't recommend this place more for a great night out and can't wait to visit again! read more

I had the pleasure of eating at the Chef's Table at Elkmont Station last night. The scallops appetizer was phenomenal. I could have made a meal out of it if I wasn't sharing. On our waiter, Mike's, recommendation, I had the pork chop cooked medium. It was the best pork chop I've ever tasted! (And the leftovers the next day were just as tasty!) I also highly recommend their crème brûlée. It had real vanilla bean in it and was rich with a perfect brittle crust. Service was excellent and the staff were wonderful to interact with. We will definitely be back! read more

Excellent food and service Our steaks were delicious and prepared perfectly. Our server stayed on top of things.

Our meals were delicious and the service very attentive. Love the decor and ambiance.

I have driven by Elkmont Station about 4 times every weekday sine before they opened. I've read the reviews with interest, intrigued by the concepts. But we were skeptical because of the prices we saw. It's in a strip mall. But last week was our wedding anniversary, and we decided this was a special occasion. And - OM Gosh, was it worth EVERY penny! Extraordinary does not begin to describe it. The service was amazing. Server was knowledgeable, helpful, attentive, not overwhelming. Just right. Food was amazing. Creative, innovative, and absolutely worth the menu prices. We are looking forward to revisiting, particularly to sit at the counter to watch the chefs and trying the amazing custom cocktail creations. Unassuming from the outside, and amazing inside. read more

About last night's dinner...let me begin by saying, I was pleasantly surprised upon entering this establishment, especially because we sort of waited for the "newness" to die off from the Grand Opening ( we like to give restaurants a chance to get rid of the kinks.) My husband and I were greeted at the door by the sweetest hostess. She welcomed us and asked if we had a reservation, which we did. She seated us immediately and assured us someone would be over shortly to take our drink order. As we awed over the decor of the dining, kitchen and bar area we were welcomed again by a member from the wait staff who brought us refreshing water with lemon, and shortly afterwards, Rachel took our drink order which consisted of Cabernet Sauvignon by Daou and George Dickel Bourbon whisky 8yr old "on the rocks". While briefly waiting for our drinks to arrive, we observed "All Hands on Deck" turning over tables (hostess, wait staff, bartender, manager, etc) which is refreshing to witness. My wine was presented in an elegant miniature carafe accompanied by lovely stemware and my hubby's whisky was poured over a massive square ice cube (very impressive) and I'm not easily impressed . We started our meal with the chopped salad which was light and prepared with fresh ingredients. Followed by Chicken and Dumplings and Roasted Carolina Trout. The chicken was moist and seasoned well, so were the dumplings. The trout could have used a bit more spices, it was not very flavorful, but eatable. We ended the meal by sharing the Crème Brûlée, which was just okay (too sweet.) Overall experience was top notch, from the staff, service, food and attentiveness. Thumbs up to everyone onboard at "Elkmont Station" we're looking forward to a return visit to try something new and different. read more
