Upscale but not overly so. Martini, wine, tapas, or full meal

Great steaks, burgers, wings, and local microbrews. I love the Cherokee Red and wings tossed in Thunder Road sauce.

Small plates and a wine bar - something quite unique in Knoxville. Try the shrimp quesadilla or the filet mignonette sandwich.

Ok, if you're looking for the best Sunday Brunch spot in town, this is it! They have hand squeezed Mimosas & spicy Bloody Marys. The crab bisque is out of this world and order crab cake benedict (not on the menu!). They also have a decent microbrew that they brew off-site.

This is Kathy's (Whitney mom) favorite restaurant. It's been on the Strip (Cumberland Ave) for ages. Kathy remembers dinners there with her family in the 70's.
