The Restaurant at RT Lodge

Our wedding weekend at RT Lodge was truly magical—an absolute dream come to life. From the very beginning, Ali and her incredible team were attentive, organized, and genuinely committed to making our vision a reality. Their attention to detail and warm professionalism made the entire planning process seamless and enjoyable. The food was nothing short of phenomenal. The chefs went above and beyond—our guests are still raving about every bite! From the custom additions like cannolis and mini key lime pies to the late-night snack, every culinary touch was thoughtful and perfectly executed. Ali ensured every detail was perfect, and because of her, I felt zero stress the entire weekend. I knew we were in the best hands. A special shoutout to Maria, who was the sweetest soul and truly made the day flow effortlessly. She made sure my husband and I were cared for every step of the way, always anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. RT Lodge gave us the most unforgettable celebration and we are endlessly grateful. It was everything we dreamed of and more. We will definitely be coming back for anniversary vacations!

Our server was excellent, the food was good but for $75-$100 per person it should be life altering! It wasn’t.

Our November wedding at RT Lodge was everything I could have ever hoped for and so much more. The setting is gorgeous at any time of year. You'll constantly discover cozy little places tucked away as if they were waiting for you to find them. The decor is warm and welcoming and always make you feel at home. Chef Trevor serves the best meals in East Tennessee, period. The wedding planning team will guarantee you don't have a thing to worry about. The entire staff takes so much care to prepare everything to your specific needs. By the end of the experience I felt like we were one big family. There's just nothing that compares to the way you're taken care of here. RT Lodge is so much more than a venue. Getting married here guarantees a new lifetime tradition. You'll come back for the food, the fire pit, the cocktails, the coziness - and you'll stay to relive the memories. It's complete magic.

I came with 2 friends, I had the burger and they had the chicken sandwich. The food was ok and overpriced. It is a beautiful and cozy location and that is what you pay for. The worst part is I got food poisoning from the burger. I called the next day and spoke to staff who said they would report to a manager. Unfortunately, there was no follow up whatsoever.

Steak TarTare for appetizer was incredible. For the small plate we got chicken and dumplings, and they were the best I've ever had. For the entree I got the hanger steak medium rare and it was perfect. My partner got the roasted chicken and it was perfectly cooked. For dessert we got the caramel apple cake, and it was also 10/10. Would definitely go back. Highly recommend.

This was my favorite dining experience this year! Thank you for such a memorable evening with friends! Our server, Emma, was outstanding and is part of why the evening was so good! We are coming back with a large group on the 8th and hope she's our server! Thank you for everything!

Is it is expensive but that's OK if the food was any good. Had a very poor meal. The pork chops was the toughest thing you could imagine, the cook, not chef Should have to go. The appetizer sizes were a joke. You The potato cake was the size of two Tootsie rolls. Oh and $16 1/2 of A Heirloom tomato with some some with balsamic sprinkled on it was 16 or 18. I had a steak knife and I could not cut through the pork chops. Someone to go to Texas roadhouse and see how they do a pork chop. I was there to survey the place and looked real nice. My granddaughter is getting married and I was considering having it there. Not now.!! I will not be back and I do not suggest anybody else dine there. Hostess, waitresses, assistant manager, all nice

Completely obsessed with this hidden gem. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. Craft cocktails and food were perfect. This place is a vibe. We will definitely be back soon.

RT Lodge is my favorite restaurant in East TN and largely unmatched at other eateries across the country. It's gorgeous, low key, understated but elegant. Perfect setting and food and meticulous attention to detail. Thanks to Ava, Randy, Charlie and Lukas for making Dad's 77th birthday such a refined and gratifying experience.

We have been to The Restaurant at RT Lodge many times, but yesterday was the first time we sat outside on the patio. It was fantastic. We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere on the patio. The service was outstanding, and the food was great. We brought our two dogs too, and they had plenty of space to relax while not bothering any of the other patrons. We can't wait to go back again.

One of, if not, the best meal I've ever had at a restaurant. Everything was perfect and delicious! The oysters and the fall vegetable pasta were incredible! Our server Mikayla was terrific! Very welcoming and friendly! The renovations to the dinning room and mezzanine and board room were absolutely stunning! Definitely the best dining experience I've ever had!

The RT Lodge Restaurant provides a great dining experience. The service, food, atmosphere ( especially outdoors) are all top tier. We always enjoy the experience of the RT Lodge Restaurant.

Top notch from the moment we stepped through the door to the time we left. Food was exceptional and staff was equally so. The best anniversary and the extra touches made it extra special ?

Fabulous food, service and ambience! Our server Jody was amazing! Every dish we were served was a culinary delight! And the smores by the firepit afterwards were divine! Felt like we had traveled too a mountain getaway but right in our backyard. Such a gem for Blount county!
