They forgot to send my grilled chicken out with my salad, but it arrived less than 2 minutes later from the manager. He took the upcharge for it off even though I told him it wasn’t necessary, as I’d just received my salad right before. He was so apologetic anyway and insisted on taking it off. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu, pointed out his suggestions, and was very attentive. It was a fantastic service experience. We will be back when in Knox!”

“Went here for the first time last night and it was fantastic. The parmentier de canard (duck with mashed potatoes) was probably one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten. The ratatouille was also quite nice, though maybe a bit overpriced. The fromager came to our table and helped us select cheeses, which were amazing. French onion soup—what can I say? They know what they’re doing. Superb. The gateau Basque—wow. So creamy and flavorful, yet subtle. Even the espresso was great. Oh, and don’t forget the baguette and butter! Served warm in a paper wrapper…yum. Fantastic service from Nichole and the rest of the staff. The decor is beautiful Euro-bohemian. Cozy velvet booths, gorgeous art deco chandeliers, warm atmosphere.

So glad we decided to give it a try! From the moment Xavier graciously and enthusiastically greeted us at the door, we had the most scrumptious meal served by our most attentive waitress, Mary Bell. What a lovely person and hard worker! Oh, right! You want to know about the food! Fantastic! Jason had nachos and I was torn between a shrimp dish and their vegetarian dish which had more and varied vegetables than you see on most Mexican restaurant menus. I asked Xavier if he could add shrimp, and he came up with a solution immediately, which turned out to be SO FLAVORFUL And the presentation was truly beautiful! I never take pictures of my food at restaurants, but last night I did! And I’ve never written a review of a restaurant, not ANY restaurant…ever. Xavier and the rest of the staff, the quality of the service, and the tastiness of the food deserves five stars plus plus plus! I’ll be bringing more of my friends here!”

South Press 3615 Chapman Hwy, Knoxville Coffee Shops • $

“As a couple with no family and no friends except one who cared enough to reach out and say, “do you have somewhere to go for the Thanksgiving holiday…” the fact that South Press welcomed all in the community was heart warming. The staff is always so kind to us, the food especially the soups are tasty. The drinks blow away big corporate coffee chains. I love to just sit in there with a beverage and soak up the atmosphere and the community. Being in there makes me want to do better and be better as a human. When I thanked Joslynn for having us for Friendsgiving, she thanked me for coming, asked me if I had enough to eat, and said to take a box of food home. This is why I go to South Press, I have never felt anything but welcome in this space and I think it’s very existence, its staff, and its owner reminds me that we are all humans and being a better one starts with acts of kindness for no other reason than you see a need and you ACT to fill it and it doesn’t hurt that they make a mean drink and soup.”

“On brief vacation with my lovely wife, our hotel clerk suggested Monterrey which was close by. Visited of Friday evening and the place was packed. Many of the patrons appeared to be of Mexican descent, always a good sign of good, authentic food. We were quickly seated in a super clean, delicious smelling dining room and immediately greeted by a lovely young lady who brought us hot, fresh tortilla chips and a wonderfully tasty, fresh salsa which must have been made in house with chunks of fresh tomato and the perfect blend of chillies and herbs. We noticed that everyone was super clean and superbly efficient in doing their assigned tasks without being in the way, all the while appearing to be genuinely happy! This is a sign of an excellently managed business. A handsome, well I groomed gentleman (who I think is a part of the nuclear family who has operated this business for 35 years) stopped at our table to greet us and express his genuine appreciation for our patronage. He recommended a house specialty 'POLLO MONTERREY'. What a magnificent dish! Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked chicken with spinach and some secret ingredients and spiced most excellently. Sizzling hot dancing sauces made this dish visually stunning and aromatically enticing. I cannot recommend this dish too highly. It was so delightfully good that we came back today, Saturday, for a repeat performance. This restaurant shows me how well an establishment can be operated. Nothing but excellence, unpretentious class, and the utmost in genuine customer service and satisfaction. Just so you know, my wife and I are not food critics, just common folks who appreciate being so well cared for in every respect. I forgot to mention the prices! We found the entire experience to be a tremendously good value. Do yourself a favor and visit this place. I expect you'll become regulars. We would be except that we live on Jane beautiful west (best) coast of Florida. Once again, Monterrey is in our decades long experience, right at the top of restaurants we would chose to frequent.

KOKO Sips + Bites 8883 Town and Country Cir, Knoxville Japanese • $

“First time eating there. Read Grubhub article in paper. He was wrong in his rating, it's a 5! For anyone really serious about Korean/Japanese fine cooking KOKO is a must. It has been said that we eat with our eyes too. Dishes were finely presented and they tasted as good as they looked. Dishes are light and complex without being fussy. I believe they have set the bar for Asian cuisine in Knoxville.”

“We decided to buy tickets for the Gothic Cabaret on 10/24/24 held at Finn’s. I live in Gatlinburg so it was an hours drive to Finn’s. But so worth it! The historic Bakers-Peters house is a naturally beautiful setting all year but perfect for Halloween especially. It was decorated for the season tastefully to honor the house but also a nice touch of Halloween. The cabaret performers were fantastic… great voices and musicians! Music of all types.
The service from Finn’s was great! The hostess Janessa was so friendly and the staff was very busy during this sold out show. We ordered a steak which was very tender. The asparagus was overcooked but with a nice flavor. The red potatoes were tasty but had an all-spice/pumpkin-y flavor which was fine for me but not for those who don’t like those flavors. We would absolutely go back for any reason not just a special event! Highly recommend the service and atmosphere!”

“First timer, while waiting for my car to be worked on next door. I asked for a sweet cold coffee drink.

Some of the rudest people I have ever heard, these two girls were obviously short handed and busting their butts, drive thru, register and making at the speed of lightning. Now I also tipped my 30 percent on my 43 minute purchase with a smile on my face. I saw nobody else tip, come on now. Finding young adults that work is tough, finding them that work that hard, darn near impossible. I think your corporate should give you two a raise for putting up with those people at that pace. As a former owner I can tell you I never would have let my people get that swamped without helping, and never talked down too. But you kept your smile, said you were sorry, no excuses. I left just as somebody came to help out, hope it got better for all of you.”

“On brief vacation with my lovely wife, our hotel clerk suggested Monterrey which was close by. Visited of Friday evening and the place was packed. Many of the patrons appeared to be of Mexican descent, always a good sign of good, authentic food. We were quickly seated in a super clean, delicious smelling dining room and immediately greeted by a lovely young lady who brought us hot, fresh tortilla chips and a wonderfully tasty, fresh salsa which must have been made in house with chunks of fresh tomato and the perfect blend of chillies and herbs. We noticed that everyone was super clean and superbly efficient in doing their assigned tasks without being in the way, all the while appearing to be genuinely happy! This is a sign of an excellently managed business. A handsome, well I groomed gentleman (who I think is a part of the nuclear family who has operated this business for 35 years) stopped at our table to greet us and express his genuine appreciation for our patronage. He recommended a house specialty 'POLLO MONTERREY'. What a magnificent dish! Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked chicken with spinach and some secret ingredients and spiced most excellently. Sizzling hot dancing sauces made this dish visually stunning and aromatically enticing. I cannot recommend this dish too highly. It was so delightfully good that we came back today, Saturday, for a repeat performance. This restaurant shows me how well an establishment can be operated. Nothing but excellence, unpretentious class, and the utmost in genuine customer service and satisfaction. Just so you know, my wife and I are not food critics, just common folks who appreciate being so well cared for in every respect. I forgot to mention the prices! We found the entire experience to be a tremendously good value. Do yourself a favor and visit this place. I expect you'll become regulars. We would be except that we live on Jane beautiful west (best) coast of Florida. Once again, Monterrey is in our decades long experience, right at the top of restaurants we would chose to frequent.
