    Australian Shiraz

    First time to Filos and it did not disappoint! We were greeted and seated right away. Even though we sat right outside of the kitchen everything was wonderful. Victoria was our server and was very attentive during our meal. We started with calamari and chicken and sausage gumbo. We both had the nightly special- I had Maui Maui with a shrimp and crab creole sauce and hubby had the short ribs. Of course we shared the key lime pie for dessert. Great atmosphere and everyone (well except the two young hostesses) had smiles on their faces! We will definitely be back and we will bring friends!

    While traveling on the Whiskey Trail, we stumbled into Filo's Tavern on a light showers day because we were hungry! Tavern is quaint, staff is attentive and food was scrumptious! We enjoyed the long large table accommodation which eased our ability to converse & eat almost family style, all together. We will go back again, when in TN

    Lord knows I'm falling behind on the My Humble Opinion reviews. I visited Filo's Tavern last October, and this is my humble opinion. We arrived at 12:22 on October,3. There wasn't a wait and we got a table immediately. After perusing the menu we placed our orders. The food started to arrive by 12:46. My salad was disappointing because the proteins were buried under the lettuce. But it was delicious and the chicken was there. It just didn't present well. All in all I feel like this place tried to hard, was over priced and didn't really deliver. Man bun energy.

    We celebrated our daughter-in-law's 40th birthday at Filo's Tavern, and the experience was over the top! Chef Jim, Heather, and their team provided everything needed for a perfect celebration -- from the house-made charcuterie to the excellent service, delicious food, and warm hospitality. If you haven't tried this gem, you're missing out!

    I can not recommend this restaurant enough! The atmosphere, the food and the service is phenomenal! Everything we had was perfectly prepared and the servers are friendly and very knowledgeable. The specialty drinks are perfectly balanced. We enjoyed 2 amazing meals here and will be back as often as possible. If you are wondering if it is worth the drive, the answer is YES! You will not be disappointed and will be hooked! Tavern Burger, Pork Belly BLT, Alaskan Halibut, Filet Mignon you can't go wrong!! And don't forget the amazing apps Bang, Bang Shrimp and Roasted Cauliflower were so delicious! Can't forget dessert! The Carrot Cake... BEST I have ever had!!

    Stockyard Steak Salad

    We were in town and I desperately needed a salad and a good meal. Filos was absolutely amazing and was one of my favorite meals during my trip. The interior is clean and spacious while still be warm. The staff are all outstanding. The have a few beers on tap, one was a regional offering so I had to try that. But they also have wine and several cocktails that looked amazing. I'd definitely try a cocktail next time! I ordered the Stockyard Steak Salad:marinated tenderloin, bleu cheese crumbles, smokehouse bacon, diced local tomatoes, diced avocado, croutons, micro greens, and house made blue cheese dressing. This salad was amazing! It was huge, fresh, and so so flavorful. The dressing was top notch. Definitely try this salad! My boyfriend ordered the Tims Ford Chicken Club: grilled chicken, bacon, tomato, local swiss, avocado, honey mustard with a side of fries. The sandwich was ginormous and I was lucky to try a bite. I would also order this if we ever get the opportunity to return. The chicken was juicy and everything had so much flavor. We decided to try a couple of sides, the Gouda grits and signature Mac and cheese. Both were good but we liked the Gouda grits the best. Top notch everything. Check this place out! ‍ ‍

    Had been long looking forward to a return to Sewanee, particularly to have the opportunity to check…read moreout Judith Tavern. Unfortunately, left pretty disappointed. The space is attractive, though it's far from being any sort of "tavern". It's rather loud, industrial. The worst aspect of the space are the tables for 2, which are small cocktail tables, really sized to hold a couple drinks, not dinner for 2. One is left with the impression that they're more interested in fitting as many diners as possible into the space rather than providing a fine dining experience. So much so that the wait staff apologized for the table size several times. Menu varies with the season, though we found most items on the online "sample" menu were on the dinner menu that night as well. Roasted oysters were plated very attractively, the oysters were plump, and the topping tasty, though several of mine were refrigerator cold - clearly made in advance and not properly heated for serving. Starter of sourdough bread with chili oil. The bread was wonderfully rustic, the chili oil was actually garlic oil. For my main, I had the "signature" trout. Pleasant enough, a nicely cooked filet swimming in a brothy sauce. Accompanied by a few small rounds of potato, what amounted to a single thinly sliced fingerling, I left hungry and considered stopping for a burger on the way home. The wife was underwhelmed with the duck. Kudos for providing an upscale dinner destination in Sewanee. Though not an option that we'd consider revisiting.
