Great taste and excellent, personable service. Both of our dishes were very good and the outside patio was very relaxing.

Excellent food and excellent service. Best restaurant in the Area bar none! I have been numerous times and have never been disappointed. I love going on weekends with live music. Now that it is warmer I really enjoy setting outside. read more

Absolutely great! Excellent food and diverse menu. NOW they bake their own focaccia! Fabulous focaccia with olive oil and fresh garlic. Nice outdoor patio - that is dog friendly- yes right here in Lenoir City! The owner Will is kind and welcoming and is there to make sure all is running well. Reasonable prices for the quality of meals served and Good sized portions. Thank you so much for setting high standards and giving us a great restaurant to enjoy a delicious meal and glass of wine! read more

Went for lunch today. Was immediately made to feel welcomed by the staff What a beautiful place‼ Very clean, well decorated and not noisy. The food was excellent. The appetizer came out immediately hot and delicious. Unlike other restaurants they provided bread service. Focaccia bread fresh from the oven served with olive oil and fresh spices Our mains were excellent and well presented. Would have loved to order a dessert but our portions were generous and we were stuffed This is our new favorite restaurant read more

Contrary to information on some other sites, Fork and Vine is NOT closed. It is under new ownership and doing just fine. We went there for lunch today and Will and the staff could not have done a better, more gracious job. Hats off to our waiter, Troy, who took excellent care of us, as he had on past occasions. We started with the Mussels, which were delicious. Some toasted bread to soak up the broth, it was a great start. My wife had the scallops over risotto, perfectly cooked and seasoned, with a broccolini side. I had the Eggplant Rolatini. The eggplant was cooked just right, the breading had a nice flavor and was crisp, rolled and covered with sauce and mozzarella. Again, great execution and very flavorful! A side of spaghetti rounded the dish out. I'm sure that the dessert offerings are as good as our mains were, but by then we were too full to even think about dessert. We're lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber so close, definitely give them a try. read more

Went with a group. Food was cold. Noodles are not al dente, just soft cheap American noodles, not what you expect from an Italian restaurant. All our meals we thought were on the bland side. 2 slices of bread for 8 at our table was just silky. 3rd try. I'm done. read more

Fork & Vine * Lenoir City, TN Visited: Saturday, ~5:30PM -- early dinner We'd been eyeing Fork & Vine for a while--finding good places outside of the big city is hard to find, and this one made the list. We showed up on a quiet Saturday evening, hoping for a relaxed, memorable meal. Atmosphere & First Impressions Stepping inside, the décor felt a bit in flux: I saw hints of old‑school Tuscan with red walls, exposed brick, and classic wood tables, but then a modern rustic cut‑wood feature wall that I absolutely loved. The mix left me wondering exactly what aesthetic they were aiming for. The bar feels cozy but somewhat tight (probably a product of spatial constraints). The restrooms struck me as serviceable but in need of maintenance--nothing unhygienic, just fixes and updates. On the bright side, they have a patio, and it's dog‑friendly (huge plus in my book). The crowd skewed older early in the evening, which isn't surprising at 5:30PM. Some patrons were rather "grumpy old curmudgeons," and I felt for the staff handling complaints. As the night went on, more folks came in, and a short wait formed--but the kitchen paced things nicely, so courses weren't rushed nor left dangling. Service Service was a highlight. From our perch at the high tops, the mixologist helped guide me through the entrée decision, checked in at just the right moments (water, second drink), and made sure everything was to our liking. The manager stopped by as well. Watching the team help each other was a joy to see. Drinks We tried the Smoked Old Fashioned and the Rusty Nail. Both were beautifully done--smoky, smooth, balanced--and served with big, clear cubes. I regretted we had to drive home, but they made me want to linger for sips and slow conversation. Food Starter: Bruschetta -- Ciabatta toasted and topped with house‑made tomato mix plus fig balsamic. Fresh, bright, summery. This was a win; I'd order it again (and recommend it). Salads: Caesar (sides) -- Crisp greens, house dressing, plenty of shaved asiago. Their croutons seemed to be made from house focaccia; I would've preferred them a bit more toothsome/crunchy, but they were far from disappointing. Entrées: Harvest Sachetti & Romano‑Crusted Chicken Parmesan Harvest Sachetti (butternut squash purée, sachetti pasta, brown butter fig balsamic sauce, candied pecans, fried sage) was lovely, but felt dessert‑leaning in sweetness. My husband commented, "It's very sweet." The highlight came when I got a bit of the ricotta tucked inside--then the bite elevated. I just wished for a bit more savory contrast. Romano‑Crusted Chicken Parmesan was excellent--likely the best in this area so far. The pomodoro tasted fresh, striking a good balance of acidity and sweetness, and the cheese melted just right over the cutlet. We skipped dessert (we were full), but when I asked, the fried cheesecake came up with "that's all you need to know"--charming tease, and now I'm wanting to return just for it. Value & Overall Thoughts This felt like a strong 4‑star experience. If the interior and restrooms were more polished or better aligned stylistically, I might bump it to 4.5 or 5. But those things alone won't stop me from coming back--in fact, I'll bring friends next time. Pros: Cocktails are stellar Service is genuinely warm and attentive Food shows creativity, executes well Dog‑friendly patio Cons / Areas for improvement: Ambiance is stylistically muddled Restrooms need upkeep The "sweetness" edge on the Harvest Sachetti may polarize Would I recommend Fork & Vine? Absolutely--for date nights, food‑minded dinners, or catching up with friends (especially if you appreciate thoughtful cocktails). Just don't expect perfection in decor; come for the flavors and the hospitality. read more

Great food. Facilities were clean and bright. Host was friendly and fast. Waiter, Jesus, was very pleasant. Chicken Marsala was Devine! The Goat flat bread was delicious. We also greatly enjoyed the spinach artichoke appetizer and their bread and oil. My niece loved the red velvet cheesecake. . Only thing I would change is I would put a little bit more of that yummy balsamic on the flatbread You can't go wrong here. read more

My wife and I stoped in for a bite to eat. I thought the atmosphere was very. icily done but not over the top. we sat at the bar and were promptly welcomed by Troy. We both ordered a salad and entry to go along with our bottle of wine. Troy brought their homemade Foccia bread which was delicious alone but REALLY delicious when dipped in the garlic, EVOO and spices on the side. our entries were amazing. My wife ordered the Eggplant Rolatini and I had the ShrimpScampi. Her entry was very good (wouldnt share) but my Scampi was the best Scampi I've ever had! great service and phenomenal food! read more

Group of 6 came here. Service was excellent. Food very overpriced with small servings. Shrimp scampi over powering lemon flavor not great. Filet mignon 50 bucks very small serving. For the price it just wasn't worth it but I will say again that the service was excellent. If only the food matched the service. read more

If I could give a ZERO I would! 12:30 Saturday afternoon HH & I sat down to try out this new restaurant. (2 months opened) I have a medical tea I drink and have it in a closed metal handled cup. The waiter arrived and questioned my mug, I explained it's reason. He persisted in his questioning, I explained again where upon he stated it was against "Health code". I even opened the container to show him two tea bags! He said he didn't need to see that!!! I explained it was NOT any violation. He then said it would have to be removed!!! I asked for the Manager, he said HE was. Then a man in a gray chef's coat arrived and said it was HIS rule! He then said he was the owner. Now we have had about 5 minutes of the back and forth, my husband got upset. I said 'Fine, we don't need to eat here' Hubby said 'I'm out of here' he then said this stupidity was more of the CA crap infiltrating East TN. As he was stepping out the door ...while I was still standing with the owner.. the owner said (direct quote) towards my husband : "Fine, get your ASS out of here!" I told the owner "That was uncalled for". I then walked out, and said we will not be back ever! The owner doesn't know how well I'm connected and his business will suffer! And to think my husband, who served this country for 22 years, gets treated this way by such a narcissistic owner! read more

We ate at the F&V last Friday & made a 5:45 pm reservation, due to demand we had to sit at a high top at the bar. We arrived on time and were seated right away. The bartender waited on fairly quickly. We ordered a couple of drinks and he returned with them pretty quickly as the restaurant wasn't full yet. He assumed we were ready to order but didn't go over any specials nor fish of the day, I felt rushed and ordered the Colossal Lasagne & my wife the eggplant rollatini. My beer was not cold but served in a frosted glass so it chilled a bit. He brought over a small piece of I think focaccia bread. The bread was good but he served it with olive oil without balsamic vinegar which is standard at Italian restaurants. The lasagna was a heathy serving but the meat sauce didn't have chop meat but some type of stranded beef similar to flank or skirt steak not bad but not enough meat. My wife didn't care for the rollatini however I ate the leftover and thought it was good even though I never order it. I normally tip 20% for decent service which I did, however from what you'll see in the below photo is that they figure the suggested tip on food, drink, alcohol tax, standard tax, and the CC service charge. To add a tip to a 10% tax standard tax, 15% alcohol tax, and 3% CC fee is what I would consider unethical and not customary. So look at your bill and tip accordingly! We probably won't be back. read more

Fork And Vine - Italian Near Me - Lenoir City, Tennessee

We were visiting from out of town and decided to try this place while seeing family -- big mistake. We sat for about 30 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us, and only after confronting the host did someone finally take our drink order. The place was busy but not packed; most tables already had their food. We had to ask and still didn't all get waters for the table. Ordered salads with dinners, answered dressing request, then they never showed up, the food runners practically dropped/slammed the plates down, and we pointed out that we were missing a set of silverware twice- that never came -- I had to grab one from the bar ourselves. When we finally got a waitress, she was overly sweet, but the whole vibe just screamed "we don't really care." The food itself was just so-so, the service was so bad -- and the staff so nonchalant about it -- that it completely ruined the meal. read more

Service and environment were good, I was disappointed in the food. Went with another couple who felt the same. I had the 50-layer lasagna, which was extremely dense and had very little filling, just layer after layer of dense pasta. Had a few bites, didn't bother with the rest. Partner had the flat bread which was OK. The other couple had the scallops, which were fine, but the special beef ribs were tough and had a fair amount of fat and gristle. All in all, fairly disappointing and not a location we would frequent. read more

We will 100% be back soon! This place was great, the atmosphere is fun and lively! The service was great, Carter was our waiter. He was attentive and friendly and had great food suggestions. He made sure our waters were full and kept checking on us without being overbearing, definitely hard to do as a server. Everyone at our table loved their dishes but dessert took the prize! The special for the week was the limoncello mascarpone cake, hopefully they bring it back soon because it was to die for. I would have put 5 stars but our only complaint was we saw one of the servers, who had glasses and a brownish red hair in a ponytail walking with a bowl of food and completely coughed all over it without covering her mouth and then proceeded to take the bowl of food to an outside table, it made us worry a little bit about what happens back in the kitchen that we don't see. Overall a great experience, can't wait until they have their liquor license but you can bring your own wine in so that is a nice alternative. read more

Fork And Vine - Hot honey chicken and waffles (not hot at all but still delicious) - Italian Near Me - Lenoir City, Tennessee

Restaurant is closed for "renovations" AGAIN after funding issues. Not surprising based on Management attitude and behaviors. Have personally witnessed the owners be rude and hateful to people with the attitude of "we are packed and don't give a crap". The food may be good but their business acumen is poor and attitude completely unappreciative. Best to take your business elsewhere. I know running a restaurants can be brutal but treating customers like crap is inexcusable. (BTW posting this here since if you say anything on FB they block you and launch a campaign against you. I mean, what sane business person does that - and publicly?!) read more

The food was delicious! We ordered the eggplant dish and fettuccine Alfredo with blackened chicken. Both were wonderful. We shared tiramisu which was lovely to look at and tasty. It was just the right texture, without being soggy. The service was also excellent. Can't wait to return and try some of the other delicious sounding entrees! read more

Decided to try this place for lunch. Food was ok and service was lacking. I had the Melanzana Rollatini. Flavor was good, spaghetti appeared to be from a box and not freshly made, very pricey for such a small serving of eggplant. The wedding soup was good. Had to ask for a water refill. The server didn't bother to refill it the second time when he walked by the table and my glass was obviously empty. They weren't busy so not sure why such a basic service was missed. read more

Fork and Vine was an absolute find! We sat right by the brick oven viewing area, which made the whole experience even cooler. Watching the pizzas bake while enjoying the cozy, family-style atmosphere was so fun. We ordered the shrimp Alfredo -- it was incredible! Instead of fettuccine, they used these adorable macaroni-style pasta that made it even better and so unique. We also had their mozzarella sticks, and WOW -- they were massive, packed with flavor, and honestly some of the best I've ever had. Between the beautiful outdoor seating, live music, and super friendly service, Fork and Vine is definitely a new favorite! read more

We think it's one of our favorite and most consistent restaurants. All of the dishes we've had were great. They really have put a lot of work into the menu and then deliver a fine meal.

Wow! Owners post under their Facebook Page: "We apologize we don't run and operate OUR restaurant to suit your needs." I guess that is everything you need to know. My wife and I were looking forward to trying this place and saw they had several growing pains opening and shutting down claiming issues with employees and liquor licenses. Based upon their posting, I would bet the ownership is the issue. The crazy thing is that most of the people replying to their post are criticizing the customers vs the owner, who took time to write a hand written note expressing their frustration with "no reservations" and long wait times. The publics social media response is brutal to the customer claiming they were "entitled" and their monthly spending on dining and wine is B.S. Since I track all of our expenses in an online program it was pretty easy to categorize our monthly spending and it was in the same range. As a former global marketing manager for one of the largest companies in the world, we always took the attitude that the customer is always right. Yes, there can be difficult customers, but they are your lifeblood and you must listen to them. These owners clearly are not listening and actually mocking feedback that they could learn from. I'm confident we won't be eating at Fork and Vine until the owners issue apologies to their customer base. Update: I discussed this crazy post from the owner with my brother who mentioned that he and his wife went to Fork and Vine last night with my sister and 85 year old mother. He claimed their wait was about 5 minutes but if he had to wait 30-60 minutes at a bar with no liquor they would have left like so many others. Three order meals and my mother a pizza. The meals were served but mother pizza as they had burnt it twice! The others shared their food with her and eventually an unburnt pizza was delivered to my mother in a pizza box? My brother saw a couple of friends in the restaurant who were with him over the weekend on a food tasting tour of Knoxville and was told that the Chicken Parmigiana that they ordered was soggy and not good. I can understand being proud and cocky of your food and service as long as it is great, but this owner is far from flawless and alienating customers. Wow, owner continues to get feedback from unsatisfied customers and makes fun of them on local social media. It's a shame, but I don't see them lasting long if they can't respond positively and make changes from feedback. read more
