Depending on which way you are coming, you may need to drive to the far end of the parking lot past the bakery to enter the lot. There is a closer entrance but it is angled for the opposite direction and not an easy turn. There are also several one-way lanes in the parking lot so you may need to drive extra to get to an open parking spot. We did find handicapped spaces close to the entrance, but you need to drive to the back of the lot to get onto the one-way lane that goes past them. While these are the closest spots, it is still a bit of a walk to the entrance of the building, although everything is nicely paved and even. Once you get in, the interior is bright and inviting. There are many centralized seating options throughout the interior, mostly high-top tables but a few normal tables arranged in cozy settings. There is a patio in the rear of the building for when the weather is nice. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The center is made up of all the various eating establishments. There is no specific seating for the individual restaurants, so you will order your food from whatever place strikes you fancy and then take the food packaged into To Go containers to a table in one of the many seating areas. Make sure you pick up utensils and napkins from where you ordered your food as there is nothing on the tables. We were there after the lunch rush so it really was not crowded at all. There were small groups of people wandering around as well as several eating a late lunch. We did notice the overhead background music was loud and made conversation difficult. I could imagine during lunch or the in evening the overall sound level would be high as the acoustics do not favor conversation. This is pretty much only a food court. We had heard there were various craft shops as well, but apparently those had all closed. While the food selection is quite varied, addition of something to do other than eating would make this a destination location rather than just a food stop. There is some renovation happening in one end, so perhaps other shops are coming in the future. Still, it is a clean location with great interior space and makes use of a building with a lot of history that was important to the area.

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 came to Kerns Food Hall on a whim. We almost left because parking was not free (this annoyed me…read morebecause it's a small venue and why would I need to pay for parking?) I'm glad we decided to venture inside. There were lots of vendors selling their wares, and the boutique stores were nice. We decided to eat at Eat More Beef, and boy! The burger melted in my mouth, and the fries were hot, crispy, and salty. We had two servers, Autumn and Kimmie who were interesting and seemed to enjoy their jobs. This is impressive and kind of rare anymore. Good servers are imperative to a positive dinner experience. They win for being awesome. The bar was warm, welcoming, and clean! If you're looking for smash burgers and cold beer, this is the place for you. I wish the parking was free all the time but since I can't control that, I'll leave it alone.

The Vault was our second stop on our cocktail hop night, and I'm so glad we found it!…read more First off, the interior is chef's kiss. The dark, glamorous aesthetic is stunning--perfect for date night or for impressing out-of-town guests. I loved the gold accents, layered textures, and thoughtful lighting. Everything worked together beautifully. We chose to sit at the bar to watch the mixologists work their magic. They were incredibly helpful in guiding us toward drinks that matched our preferences. I absolutely loved my cocktail--even if I can't recall the name--because it delivered the spicy kick they promised. We also ordered several shareable plates, all of which were delicious. We tried the Carnitas Tamales (shredded pork, ancho mole, fresh corn, masa, cilantro, yuzu arbequina oil), the Vegetable Empanadas (house-made pastry, wilted kale, roasted sweet potato, Oaxaca and cotija cheese, black bean purée, and adobo & chile-lime aioli), and a salad. I'd happily order any of them again. I did find myself wishing for a bit more heat, but I've learned that's hard to come by in Tennessee. At least the staff gave us a heads-up that the spice level is toned down. I'm already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu. The vibe is fantastic--and while they have a nice outdoor space, the interior is so eye-catching I'm not sure I'd want to sit anywhere else.

Tapas were good the carrots were by far the best roasted perfectly and the sauce was so flavorful. The crab dip was good but typical same with mushroom truffle pizza.

It is definitely a smaller space than anticipated and we were thrown off by non-70's international music playing. However, the staff was friendly and the quirky decor was fun. We sat in the corner on the couches with the old school TV and a stack of VHS tapes to choose from. Loved the magazine pile from the 70's and we got a kick out of many of the ads and articles. There is all day happy hour on Wednesdays on certain well drinks. Our friends really liked their old fashioned drinks, but a few of us got margaritas on the rocks and the Black Christmas seasonal drink and we did not care for them (these were not included in happy hour and were not worth the money). Between the mediocre drinks and challenging parking, we aren't in a rush to go back. Don't regret trying it out, though!

I wasn't blown away and felt like the flavors were lackluster. The pasta was an alright red sauce, flavors could've been a bit more complex and boldly fresh. The Arancini tasted like a bland mushy hushpuppy in marinara. The best dish was the salmon, if I had to recommend anything! Super flaky with a crispy fish, paired nicely with the salad and potatoes. Service itself was good and the drinks were just okay. I like that they have many cocktail options to choose from, but my drink was honestly straight juice. As someone who's lightweight, I was shocked to find that the portions for drinks for the little amount of alcohol for $15 is a bit absurd (I got the st Richard ride). I'd only come once for the ambiance but it's pretty disappointing for what you pay. 6.5/10

My boyfriend chose Fiori since it was high on my list and not only was it any other day, it was a date for my birthday. The reservation was made, and we got a decent seat by the ambient lights, but right next to the hallway to the bathroom, so a lot of foot traffic. I ordered the espresso martini, and it was very good. I was very excited to try the Arancini and already pre meditated my dinner choices before going out. To say it was underwhelming is an under statement, it was cold, and not good. The dish should not be called Arancini it should be called a hushpuppy, the name misrepresented the dish and created overwhelming disappointment. I then ordered the a Connecticut style Lobster Roll, and a second drink. I got my meal, and wow, the portion size was irrefutably small, definitely not worth 38$. It tasted good, but literally was finished in two bites. I was finished my my meal before I got my 2nd drink. Over all, the service was great (minus my drink not being served in a timely fashion) but the server explained she was quadruple sat. I have worked in the biz, so I was understanding. So I want to give a shout out to Holly, for being the only real redeemable quality of the experience. The ambiance was cool, but if they put as much time and effort into the aesthetic as they do in the food, maybe they would actually be good. After everything, I left still hungry; It was pricey, small portions and underwhelming experience for my birthday celebration.

Great spot! Wow!…read more While passing through Knoxville, we stumbled upon the Preservation Pub. We had seen a band was playing, so we figured we would drop in and check it out. Not a bad spot on a Tuesday night! Band was lively, and the crowd was friendly. Didn't realize at first that there were three(+) levels, so finding the arcade on the second floor (as well as another bar) and the roof patio (with yet another bar) made this place super fun. Lots of different settings depending on what you are looking for. The rooftop was great though - giving a view of the city, as well as a lot of interesting built in art. Also loved the artistic (signed decorated) washrooms - that was a hilarious and unexpected touch! If I lived in Knoxville, this would definitely be one of my go-to spots!
