The waitress that took care of the table was great. The drinks were refilled and taken care of without asking.

Will return for breakfast again before leaving the city. Definitely recommend.

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.

Sweet tea- solid 8/10 very similar to chick-fil-a tea. Sweet chicken & French toast - solid 5/10 the chicken is really good, the French toast is a bit burnt and they use some kind of spicy sauce on the French toast which throws the taste off and kinda ruins it. Service was very very good. Nice people. Overall - 3 star probably wouldn't recommend.

I stopped by French Market Crêperie on a Tuesday morning, and it wasn't too busy, making it the…read moreperfect place to enjoy a slow breakfast. The French-inspired décor made it feel like I'd stepped into an authentic little café in France. The café has two stories of seating, plus outdoor tables, so there's plenty of space whether you're meeting a friend, working remotely, or settling in with a good book. I brought my Bible and did my morning devotional, and it was such a peaceful way to start the day. It would also be a great spot for a coffee date. I ordered the buckwheat crêpe with mushrooms, spinach, caramelized onions, and an egg. It was hearty, flavorful, and a generous portion that kept me full for hours without feeling overly heavy. I also tried one of their specialty lattes. It was a bit sweeter than I prefer and had a slightly artificial flavor, so next time I'd probably stick with a regular latte instead. Between the charming atmosphere, delicious food, generous portions, and welcoming service, this is definitely a place I'd recommend if you're looking for a cozy breakfast or brunch spot in Knoxville.

We came on a very busy Saturday night (weekend of Dogwood Festival, theatre night, and prom night)…read more Thankful to have a reservation, we were promptly seated while others with no reservation were being told three hour wait times. I loved the vibe of Tupelo, the hanging lush green plants on the side of the bustling kitchen, the cheerful staff and the lively music. Lizette was our server and she was just a darling. It was our first time here, and she was so helpful with her all of her recommendations. One of Lizette's favorites was the "Peach, don't kill my vibe" sangria. Which I just loved. I nice mix of peach and pineapple in a sangria. For our mains, we had the grilled harvest chicken and the chicken tenders. Both mains came with two sides. With my grilled harvest chicken, I got the mashed potatoes and the braised bacon green beans. The green beans were to die for, even my hubby was saying he should've ordered that as his side. The harvest chicken I loved--especially the sautéed spinach, red peppers and tomatoes on top. But if you can't handle spicy, this dish does have some heat to it. And we ended my birthday celebration with the heavenly banana pudding. It was heavenly in every way. Made in house, and so delicious that even my hubby ate it and he never cares for this dessert. If I could've licked that little bowl, I would've. We already cannot wait to come back and try some of the brunch items on their menu. We loved everything about Tupelo and hats off to Lizette for making our night even more special!!

It will remain a favorite place when we're in Tennessee.

I wasn't sure whether to order the small or large since the sizes weren't clearly described, so I went with the small. It was more like a burger size, and I definitely wish I had gone with the large. I also loved the blue corn chips, but wasn't a big fan of the salsa. It had way too much liquid for my taste. For the ambiance, my friend went in to pick up so I didn't go inside since it was just pick up. Overall, it's a great spot with a convenient location, and I'd try it again.

I want to preface my statements by saying that I love octopus, but I especially love octopus on my plate. Their octopus appetizer is to die for. The redfish was superb and could rival any New Orleans recipe--and I'm a New Orleans native. The swordfish with jerk seasoning will make you feel like you've been transported straight to Jamaica. Do me a favor and run here, not walk. You can thank me later.

Their patio faces Market Square, which made it such a nice spot to enjoy the summer weather and people-watch while having dinner. The inside has a completely different feel--intimate, low lighting, and definitely the kind of atmosphere I'd pick for a date night or a nicer dinner. My server was also really attentive and helpful with answering any questions I had about the menu. I ordered the Fettuccine Bolognese, and it was SO good. The meat was incredibly tender, the sauce was flavorful, and I loved the fluffy swirls of ricotta throughout. The pasta itself was cooked perfectly too. My only note is that the portion was on the smaller side, so next time I'd definitely start with an appetizer. Between the food, attentive service, patio, and location right on Market Square, Oliver Royale is such a great option for a night out in Knoxville. I'd absolutely come back and try more of the menu!

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.

It was my brother in laws birthday and we surprised him by having his brother fly up here. I finally landed on the Lox Benny +avocado and espresso martini. The server was sweet, but he informed us it was his first day, and it definitely showed. It was a weekday lunch, so there were barely anyone dining in. I have worked in the biz, along with all of us, so we were patient. Over all he was sweet, and just needs to get in the swing of things. One of the eggs was not poached (overly cooked so wasn't watery), but over all it tasted amazing. I ordered a 2nd drink different from the first, and ooof, it was not good. The entire table wasn't impressed with their 2nd round either, we all tried something different. We had to return my sisters rum coffee completely. The strawberry drink tasted like complete syrup and was very thick. I felt bad and didn't want to return that one as well. I asked for them to water it down, It still wasn't great. I drank it anyway. Over all the server was nice/friendly and doing his best for his first day, we all enjoyed our time together, the food hit the spot and tasted excellent, but I wouldn't personally order the pre set cocktails they have on the menu. UPDATE: After reviewing my receipt, not only did they not take the drink we returned back off, BUT they have a credit card tax: 2.38$, a TN state tax 11.31, a TN County Tax: 3.68 and A Liquor tax: 15.00$ which totals 32.32$ JUST ON TAXES. I will attach my receipt. This place is a rip off.
