Citico’s Restaurant At WindRiver

You start out your dining experience by going into a basement. The trufle fries were terrible and pure salt. Mc Donald's small fries are larger and much better. We had what they claimed to be steak poor-boys. Boy they were awful! Nothing but cube steak again overly salted with lots of bun. This place is poorly run, overpriced with a weak menu. Don't waste your time and money.

Great food, great service. The new chef and staff have brought new items to their menu. The restaurant is currently in a beautiful home that was converted to the Citico’s restaurant. I highly recommend for you to visit. Reid also does a great old fashion!

Nice atmosphere outside but the food quaility was poor and service was slow. The shrimp and grits was served cold and slightly warm in the center has if it was plated and sat a long time plus it lacked flavor. The salmon was over cooked. Their quality does not match their prices.

Service was very slow. We finished lMeal and dishes left on table in front of us for like 20 minutes. Food was not hot and just mediocre. Waited so long for desert, my friend kindly got it to go.

Wonderful place to eat! The food and drinks were very good - on par with other “nice” places (walnut kitchen, etc). The aspects that would bring us back are the atmosphere and staff. Since the restaurant is in a converted home, it’s a very unique and relaxed environment. We had an opportunity to walk around and explore the home after our meal - it was very neat.The wait staff, bartender and chef were phenomenal. Granted, we had an early reservation and not many folks were there yet, but the chef came out and spoke to us before and after the meal to ensure it was dialed into our tastes.As a heads up, they do add an automatic 22% gratuity which is clearly stated. Also, they are currently short-staffed, so they limit the number of reservations. (If folks are looking for a job, you may want to contact them!)

Outstanding food, atmosphere & service. The staff sooo friendly & accommodating. Loved it.

A very nice restaurant. Food was delicious. It has a great menu. The wait staff was perfect . Couldn't ask for a better place to eat!!

Quick Head’s Up for folks going to Citico’s.I saw a post from 5 months ago about a 22% service charge added to the bill. This was not inclusive of a tip so basically you would be adding anywhere from 37 to say 50% to your bill total.I thought this might have been during the height of Covid to make ends meet but upon calling Citico’s today it is still ongoing. There are many alternatives to pricing and food management than gouging customers who might dine there and be unaware of this existing policy.

Have been waiting nearly a week for a response to two 2 emails I sent regarding a poor experience during our first visit to this restaurant. Apparently they do not care and/or are not responsive to customers. Either is unacceptable. Avoid this place.

This is one amazing place located relatively close to Knoxville. For a most wonderful meal, great service, and the most beautiful surroundings, make your reservation for any type of special event or just to enjoy a delicious meal at Citico's Restaurant at WindRiver.

Atmosphere for romantic dining is the best. A bit too quiet for my taste. Best to go with a group. Food is above average but not as creatively Gourmet as it used to be. Expect to pay about $100 a plate with a decent bottle of wine.

***HIDDEN GEM*** wow! First of this place is a house on the lake. A really nice house on the lake with great views, and a bar set up downstairs that is just too cool. I heard there is a room down there that you can air bnb? So now to the food. My wife swears that its the best dinner she has ever had in knoxville the other couple in our party agreed. We caroused the menu, good shrimp app and tuna app. Lobster bisque was great. I had the shrimp and grits was awesome. The ladies had the prime rib past which was amazing and the Mediterranean seafood pasta which were both excellent and the other dish was the pork loin w apple chutney which stole the show. We finished with the cheesesteak and the lemon meringue pie. Cheesecake was good but the meringue was amazing. Oh and the old fashioned they made was awesome! Highly recommend, take your wallet.
