I've been to Artist Alley's in other major cities and somehow, some way the alley is kept clean and well lit for the public to actually enjoy.

Such a creative use of typically unused space and a great nod to our city and artist community.

To a thriving and growing downtown area, this alley (and other nearby murals) truly add to a growing sense of investment in the community. Did you know that Visit Knox has a map of murals to do a self-guided walking tour? So cool! Time to make my list and get my walking shoes on. https://www.visitknoxville.com/plugins/maps/map/knoxville-murals/5ab2b182977b8c8f375d13f0/

Service was friendly and my water glass never was lower than a third full…read more The restaurant was dimly lit and was decorated nicely. My main complaint was with the portion sizes and prices. The meatball appetizer was three mini meatballs. I've seen meatballs on sub sandwiches bigger than these. The lasagna, was really without any sauce. It was a bolognese sauce. Also it lacked the stretchy cheese pull that one expects from a lasagna. The pasta dishes from what I tried was a little to al dente, there was too much chew in the pasta. That said for the prices that they charge to not offer a side salad or at least some bread with the meal is disappointing.

They give me the authentic Chicago hot dog joint, just on the far, far, far Southside. The Chicago hot dog was authentic. Not only do they use Vienna Beef hot dogs but they use Vienna Beef poppyseed buns. That is truly legit. Also had the Italian Beef. It was good, not great, but very good. We also had an order of breaded mushrooms and onion rings. Both hit the spot. The onion rings were probably higher rated, and according to the fellas who work there, they are beer battered. And thank God they don't try to force ranch dipping with these like other spots do. Ketchup is the appropriate dipping for both shrooms and rings. Highly recommend them, will be going back. A lot.

She was attentive but not too much to interrupt our flow of conversation, she was polite and, most importantly to me, she was conversational herself.
