Amazing food and even better service!!

Matthew Wallace

Great atmosphere and bar. Small portions. Disappointed inthe choice of noodle for cacio e pepe. Tasty food. A bit overpriced IMHO

Awesome spot in downtown Knox.
Service was amazing. And the ending coffee was the finishing touch

Food is excellent here. Highly recommend the farm egg and pork osso bucko. Service isn’t the best and they kinda sell you on things you don’t realize you’re ordering. Stuff like “can I bring you guys some bread while you’re waiting?” And the bread costs $10. Otherwise good tho

We had a really great dinner and experience. The service was excellent, and the bacon bolognese was amazing and different (in a good way)!

Best food in Knoxville. Wings(Alabama White Sauce), Campanella pasta, Osso Buco are a must. Service is always fantastic and rotating ice cream never disappoints

I recently attend a business dinner at JC Holdway's. I consider myself fairly well traveled and would put the service here at a pretty hight bar. I think the thing that stood out the most was how welcomingly we were greeted. It set the mood for the entire evening and generated a real sense of hospitality. Thanks for a great evening and enjoyable food.

We had the absolute best experience. Parks was our waiter and they did amazing!! Everything from the hostess to all the wait staff was amazing. I have not had food that delicious in a long time in Knoxville. Every dish was perfect. We had the Uncle Joe’s party plate, slow cooked farm egg, mafaldine, and the braised pork osso bucco. We still think about the slow cooked farm egg. It is like a chicken soup with gnocchi. It tasted like a warm hug. The mafaldine was perfect. Adult Mac and cheese with an elevated taste palate. Thank you for making our anniversary perfect.

We called a few weeks prior to reserve seats for the chef’s tasting. They offer two seating times. We went at 7:45 and as soon as you walk in, you know you’re in a special place. We had 8 courses (advertise 6) and each course was absolutely amazing and large. The sommelier was extremely knowledge and chose great wine to accompany us last night. All the chefs and assistants in the kitchen (shoutout to Courtney too!) were awesome and Maggie, our server, was very attentive too. This is hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to in my life. Knoxville is very lucky to have this gem. Do not wait, just go! You will not regret your decision. 10000/10.

Excellent last minute dinner, got lucky reserving a spot on Resy. Appetizers excellent, enjoyed both Wagu tartare and Pimento cheese w crackers. Entree was a pasta dish w seafood, very good and unique comfort flavor. Sitting at the “chefs table/bar” was unexpected and really nice. Grace served very well along w her associates. We enjoyed seeing the host who we met couple times before, was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot.
