    The meatloaf was so flavorful! It was moist and served with delicious mashed potatoes and green beans. We also had the strawberry salad. It was ok and would have been great if the lettuce was a spring mix or spinach and not iceberg. The fruit and feta cheese were fresh, the candied pecans were a sugary treat. The raspberry vinaigrette was light and refreshing. The fresh made bread was filling and I swear I could eat just that! Gretchen was our waitress, she was a delight and very efficient. The restaurant has ample seating with lots of rooms and had some beautiful photographs displayed throughout . This restaurant is a wonderful local place with a variety of options on the menu.

    Starting this off by saying yes I am a vegetarian. Went with some friends to this steakhouse seeing it was the only other restaurant open at the time. Other than the appetizers there were no other vegetarian options on the menu. They mentioned they could make all the salads vegetarian which was accommodating? The appetizers had good portion sizes to them and were $8-9 each. The chips for the spinach dip were very very fried, was not the biggest fan of this. Service was nice and friendly! There's a good amount of parking around the restaurant & they have a very cute bar area around the back. I will definitely have to check that out later! The restaurant is pretty massive and was fairly busy on a Saturday evening!

    RUN TO GET THE BEST STEAK! Hands down my top place to stop for steak! Gluten free options as well! This locally owned restaurant is great place for friends, family or just to get a drink! Have amazing desserts but No GF desserts as of right now. NOAH is a server who does amazing job! Absolutely best customer service /friendly staff Can't wait to come back! Love love love love shades

    Our meal was beyond fantastic! My wife's parents recommended…read morethis restaurant for my wife and I. We are in town for a show and decided to stop by on our way into Knoxville. It was about 3:00 and the restaurant was on a 45 minute wait. We decided to sit at the bar and have an appetizer while we waited for our table. They were unusually busy because of college graduations. We had a shrimp appetizer which was recommended by the bartender. It was delicious! It had the right amount of spice for us. Our table was ready right as we finished our appetizer. The hostess was very polite and asked us if we were celebrating anything special.. We were promptly greeted by our server Elisabeth who was wonderful. She told us the specials and inquired if it was our first visit. We ordered the espresso rubbed ribeye w/ a baked potato & Caesar salad. We decided to share a steak and ordered an extra wedge salad. Everything was delicious. The steak was a perfect medium. The butter that is served with the bread is heavenly. I was thrilled with my Caesar salad that had anchovies on top. My wedge salad was amazing. This was one of the best steaks we have ever had. We would highly recommend the restaurant for lunch or dinner. 5 ask for Elisabeth if you want a wonderful dining experience!

It can get a little loud, and you definitely need a reservation for this place. Do not walk in and expect that you can just sit down. They have a nice selection of bourbon, which they should consider considering their location. Steaks are fantastic, and highly recommend the deviled egg appetizer. Will definitely come back!
