We were celebrating our pup's birthday and many staff members came by to say hi! They placed us in the perfect spot outside in the perfect atmosphere so that we had plenty of room for our crazy pup to wander on his leash and not get in the way. They also gave us a water bowl for him since it was a hot day. The food was perfect and came out just how we asked! Props to our waitress, Prescott and the manager Savannah! Will be returning in the future!

Last night a gentleman next to our table said "you gotta try Ruby Sunshine"…read moreThis morning I would say I completely agree, at the door I could see food going to tables and I immediately thought "wow" I ordered the Trifecta, it was delicious but I personally realized that I'm not a chicken Benedict guy. This isn't a jab at Ruby, I just enjoyed the other 2 better. The staff was very friendly and efficient, my only jab is the seating because I'm 6'3 I felt too big for the chair and I would of liked a booth but the booths are bigger for 4+ parties. The prices are about $2 cheaper than the surrounding averages, the ruby is more than "a try" it's a frequent.

It's almost impossible to decide what to order because literally everything looks and sounds amazing -- and based on what we tried, you can't go wrong.

I've tried the coffee, a mimosa, and a spritz on different occasions. So tasty.

The cozy, café-style atmosphere makes it perfect for a relaxed brunch or a casual lunch with friends. It's charming without feeling pretentious -- just simple, welcoming, and full of great smells coming from the kitchen. The crêpes are the real star. Whether you go sweet or savory, they're thin, perfectly cooked, and generously filled. The savory buckwheat galettes are hearty and flavorful, while the sweet crêpes hit that perfect balance of light and indulgent. Pair one with a good coffee and you've got an easy, satisfying meal. If you're in Knoxville and want something a little different from the usual brunch spots, The French Market is absolutely worth a visit. It's a local gem that keeps you coming back.

I personally enjoy the dough a lot but prefer a bit more of firmness and crisp to the dough while the tomato heads is a bit more on the soft side. Still amazing nonetheless Highly recommend and will be back soon!!

We started with the Summer Brussels, which were packed with flavor and perfectly tender. We also ordered the Burrata and Tomato Salad, Blackened Redfish, and Farmstand Rigatoni. The freshness of the ingredients really stood out throughout the meal. The tomatoes were sliced thick and tasted like they had just come off the vine. The fresh pasta paired beautifully with the seasonal vegetables, and the blackened redfish was cooked perfectly. Combined with the étouffée sauce, peppers, and vegetables, every bite of the fish was balanced and full of flavor. We enjoyed sitting on the patio overlooking Market Square, which made for a perfect evening of people-watching. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Both upscale yet inviting. Note that it does feel a bit like European dining where the tables and fellow diners are very close to you and the tables are small and cozy. You hear all of their convos as well, for better or worse. :-) We ordered the scallop appetizer and for our meal, we both got the short rib pappardelle pasta and a side of the brussel sprouts to share. Our server was very kind but our orders took a very long time to come out, from drinks to the food itself. In fact, our brussels came out at the same time as the check. I will say that she recognized this issue without us saying anything and even removed the brussels from the bill preemptively. The food was delicious-especially the main course. The bolognese sauce was creamy and had a slight kick and the short rib was tender and tasty. Another odd thing is that we ordered the same exact dish but one plate visibly had almost twice the amount of food than the other, which is an odd choice if you know they are going to the same table. Other than the few service quirks, it was a wonderful experience and the food and drinks were delicious. We will be back at some point.

This was maybe more of a 3.5 star experience. I stopped in…read moreon a Sunday afternoon and picked out 4 donuts. The place had 2 customers silently sitting and maybe working on their computers but the whole place felt sterile and lifeless. I wasn't greeted and stood at the counter for a few minutes while the lone employee arranged items until I finally asked if I could order. I wanted to sample a variety- so I got an apple fritter, a snickerdoodle donut, a buttermilk old fashioned, and a blueberry Pączki. The apple fritter was the best of those 4. The snickerdoodle was just a traditional cinnamon sugar donut. The base was a bit dry yet also tasted oily. The buttermilk old fashioned had a similar greasy flavor and not the tang I'd expect from this type of donut. The Pączki was just a minimally filled jelly donut...and the dough was very greasy. Normally, the dough is more bready and has a more rich flavor. The ones I've always eaten in the past are heavily filled. This place seems like it has potential but it just lacks the quality or personality I'm looking for in a local gem. Nothing was awful but nothing was great either.
