    Today I had the best lunch, Baja Turkey burger. Served by one of the best servers Kelli. What a great experience.

    Great food at good prices. Good service. Can't beat the view Of Tellico Lake. Fall is coming best view ever in a relaxed setting.

    1. Our server was Crystal and she was great. 2. Cocktails…read morewere great. Storm and Martini. 3. We got the deviled egg appetizer....phenomenal. 4. We shared the lobster tails, also excellent. 5. The bread they provide is excellent too. 6. Finally, you have a choice to sit in the formal dining room or in the less formal lounge. I personally prefer the less formal lounge. We've done both now, they are both great experiences. But if you want the less formal lounge, you have to call to be able to make that reservation. The online reservations put you in the formal dining room.

    We tried Raven for the first time tonight, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. First, Madison…read morewas an absolute gem. She was attentive without hovering, had great recommendations, and made our first visit even better. We started with cocktails, and I couldn't decide between the Clover Club and the Crimson Mirage. I'm so glad we tried both! The Crimson Mirage was beautiful, served in a dainty glass with a flower petal sugar rim, but the Clover Club stole the show with its silky egg white foam. We also ordered the focaccia bread and made the best decision of the night by saving a few pieces to dip into the spicy lobster bisque. Do not skip the bisque! It may be a small portion, but it's packed with flavor. And despite the name, it wasn't very spicy at all. I don't handle much heat, and it was perfectly mild. For dinner, we shared the surf and turf with lobster. Everything was excellent. I got to try the filet cooked medium-rare with the rich demi-glace, along with the mashed potatoes and asparagus, which were cooked perfectly. We also ordered the baked potato, and it's definitely large enough to share. Pro tip: use the leftover butter from the focaccia with the potato--it was delicious! We wanted dessert, but we were simply too full. That just gives us another reason to come back. We also learned they have a happy hour at the bar, which is now on our list. The atmosphere was one of our favorite parts. It's dark, cozy, and has a sophisticated lounge vibe. Watching the bartender enthusiastically shaking cocktails added to the experience, and we appreciated that there seems to be both a lively bar area and a more traditional dining room. Raven is a fantastic addition to the downtown strip. We can't wait to come back and try the scallops.

    We had an AMAZING dining experience and encourage you to experience Seasons 101 for yourself…read more We made a reservation online for a party of 4 and dined there on Sunday, Memorial Day weekend. We were greeted and seated promptly in a lovely little alcove near their patio, the perfect spot for old friends catching up. Our server, Olivia, was phenomenal, offering insight and recommendations into their seasonal menu items. We started with cocktails and appetizers. We loved the Roasted Beet Salad and Crab Bisque. Deee-licious! We then moved on to our entrees: Filet mignon (prepared Medium) w/caramelized onions & garlic mashed potatoes. The filets were seasoned and cooked perfectly - melt in your mouth, oh soooo good! Prime rib steak sandwich with caramelized onions & melt cheese. Opted for a side of grilled zucchini instead of fries. Also a big hit with our friend. I chose the night's feature dish of halibut and couscous. Nicely prepared and delicious. Though we didn't have room for dessert, once Olivia brought the dessert tray by, we quickly made room! My husband chose the Blueberry Bread Pudding. Of course I had to taste! I'm typically am not a fan of bread puddings due to being heavy and somewhat gummy! This one was absolutely light, and yummy allowing the blueberries to shine. Our friends shared the NY cheesecake with fresh strawberries. Also, light, fluffy and delicious! I chose the key lime pie with toasted coconut sprinkled on top. Incredibly good with light tartness though I prefer more tart. Still, it ranks up there as one of the best I've found. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the cocktails, food, ambiance, decor, and our server, Olivia. Ample portions, reasonable/comparable pricing, and delicious/creative menu. Bravo, Seasons 101! Bravo!! P.S. They also have a lovely outdoor dining area, if you so desire.

This place touches several…read morefandoms such as Alien, Firefly, Star Trek, Superman, and more but there are no references to Green Lantern. Let me remind you that not so long ago in the 2000s, Geoff John's Green Lantern was one of the top selling books published by DC! This shows the sheer tragedy of the Ryan Reynolds GL movie. If that movie would have been better, this place would have at least one GL reference. Just imagine a Blackest Night or Brightest Day themed cocktail. Never forgot what they took from us. That being said, this place was delightful and you should absolutely go.

    Best themed bar I've been to! Perfect sci-fi theming with aliens from Mars Attacks!, Darth Vader,…read moreAlien's Facehuggers, and more famous creatures. Neon lighting is everywhere, and the EXCELLENT service are all trained to verbally communicate as if you're in a space lounge. You're greeted at the front door with a funny line like, "Hello Captain, are you ready to greet your crew?" Then smoke surrounds you as the room "air locks", then a host brings you into the bar. The immersion is so fun! Most surprising were the menus, which you open and they glow in illuminated light... very futuristic. The drinks we ordered were absinthe specials, which were served in creative and smoky ways. Note: these were strong drinks :P I saw food at other tables and the pizza looked great. All in all, this bar is so immersive and I can't wait to return!

    I could have given this 5 stars but having us wait about 10 minutes to be seated was more funny…read more The hostess started to seat us and then said it will be 5 min because she didn't want to "overwhelm" the waitress. 5 min? In a bar that is using moving quick and it was 5pm? As I said, not a problem just funny. Kyla was our waitress and was great. Friendly and very helpful in giving us information on two restaurants we were considering. Prices weren't bad considering it's a roof top bar with a great view.

    We were extremely disappointed by our experience…read more We came to celebrate my birthday. It was a nice day, so we opted to sit outside. The bartender was awesome, but once we received our drinks and sat outside, we were ignored by the waitresses. They walked past several times to serve others, but never asked if we needed anything. We asked for a sever but were told by the manager, they were short staffed and we had to order drinks and food at the bar. However, a group a young White men sat next to us and a waitress took their food and drink order within a few minutes. We were the only Black group on the rooftop. The waitresses took everyone's order but ours. We had to ask for a menu, napkins, and water. After spending hundreds on drinks and food, we expected better. It's clear we weren't welcomed or valued. We this lounge will never get another dime from us.
