One of my favorite restaurants. The Greek salad, saganaki, roasted chicken, and lobster pasta are incredible. Deserts are a must have. The atmosphere and service is fantastic. It can be hard to book a table, but it's first come, first serve at the bar. Prices are reasonable and match the quality of service, food, and atmosphere.

Update: The VP of Operations did end up personally reaching out to make this right so I feel much better about the situation. You canât always prevent things from going wrong but Iâm a firm believer that itâs how you handle them that will determine what kind of business you are.
This place has a huge gnat problem. We were swatting our entire meal and they were constantly landing on our food and drinks. We told the waitress and she was completely unapologetic. She brought the manager who took zero accountability and didnât offer to comp any portion of the meal or throw in a make good.
The waitress was also kind of rude when I asked if the octopus could be charred. She pretty much said it was already cooked enough and thatâs how they do it. It came out not charred and the texture just wasnât how I usually like it so I expressed that I didnât like it and she didnât offer to comp it either.
The manager didnât seem to have a clue or strike me as someone experienced with customer service either. Like my husband and I never raise issues like this as weâve worked in service ourselves but the service and atmosphere do not match the prices whatsoever.

This spot is an absolute banger, I can't wait to come back!!
I had the moussaka and the wife had lobster bucatini. The lobster bucatini was great my only comment would be most fine dining would release the meat from the tail and leave it in the tail. We had to pry the meat out. The moussaka was bad. The potato and egg plant were both under cooked significantly and the eggplant had the skin on which was tough and bitter. Very disappointing as this is a staple of this restaurant. Service and ambience was great but wish I ordered something else.

âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ Kefi is a gem in downtown Knoxville! The food is absolutely five-star â every dish is packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Service is always top-notch, and the staff make you feel right at home. The atmosphere is super cool â stylish, eclectic, and perfect for a night out with friends or a date. Whether youâre there for dinner, drinks, or just the vibe, Kefi never disappoints. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the Old City!

Honestly some of the worst Mediterranean food I have ever, ever had. Not bad but for food in general but as far as comparing it to other Mediterranean places, the flavors just are not there. Service wasn't bad but I would absolutely not come back.
Food was absolutely perfect đĽđĽđĽ Octopus, lamb chops and sea bass... A1........

I absolutely adore the atmosphere; it's truly enchanting! The service is outstanding, making you feel so well taken care of. The food was exceptionalâevery bite was a delight. Itâs the perfect place to unwind, whether youâre with a loved one or a larger group. You can genuinely immerse yourself in the experience and enjoy every moment.

Great good (as a fellow Mediterranean) and great service! We also appreciated the seating wasn't so close together like a lot of the other restaurants. We will definitely be back again, thank you!!
