Love the ambience!! We traveled from Pigeon Forge to the airport and needed a place to dine on the way. A bit pricey but very delicious and inviting.

Julian was our phenomenal server. We began our adventure with some Lobster Dip, which was outstanding! A tasty Bone Marrow dish followed, along with Bacon Mac n' Cheese, Lobster Ramen and delectable medium rare Elk. This was our first time visit but definitely not our last.

I went here for lunch with a group of coworkers. I had heard alpha of good things about the food so I was excited about trying it for the first time. I thought the food was okay...It didn't live up to the hype. I will have to go back during dinner for a second try.

This place is nothing short of amazing. Such unique and designed dishes that take your tastebuds into oblivion. We had the pork belly and it was delicious! Even the fatty part and that says a lot! We had the lobster dip and I could have drenched all my food in it. I couldn’t get enough. My 12 year old had the lobster ramen and left nothing! He loved it. My daughter had the chicken lollipops and said the breading and flavor was perfect. I had the steak frites and the flavor was amazing too. My husband had the elk loin and he was basically licking the plate. The atmosphere what great and service was knowledge and top tier. Best chef and kitchen crew around. Looking forward to an adult only getaway for another dinner! We will travel from Illinois for this establishment any time!!!!

We are treated so well here. Everytime we visit we are not disappointed. It deserved a review. We'll be back soon. Thank you to all that work here! You're appreciated.

Food was very good, from apps to entrees, excluding the very dry cornbread starter, but that was free so I did not score that. The server was chewing gum the whole time, which in my opinion is gross in the food service indusrty and very unprofessional, especially for the price point. A lot of the staff members had vapes and their cellphones in the back pockets, again very unprofessional for the price point. The chairs are extremely uncomfortable, high backs, sloped seats, and no cushions, again for the price point I'd expect to be comfortable.

The server did not try to upsell or recommend any wines to pair with our red meat entrees. But the food was delicious and cocktails were well made. We both overall enjoyed our dining, but are likely to not to return any time soon. We can get comparable entrees, but better service at other businesses, for a better price. Guests come not just for the food but for the entire experience.

Came in for lunch. Service was.. ok. The bartender was also the server. She did alright. I ordered a side salad to start with oil and vinegar. Was surprised to see they pre mixed the oil and vinegar before bringing it. Way too much oil. Tried to stir some vinegar to the top, instead, 3 gnats came floating up. Yuck! My husband had already poured his onto his salad. So he returned his. Our waitress told us the manager would come talk to us about it. He never came over. But he did take both salads off bill. Our total bill, for 4 people for lunch was $268. Little too high to be served bugs. Was not impressed enough to return. Sad experience really.

Great place to gather with friend or a date. Had a great experience with Mike the Chef sitting at the bar. If your with people that like to talk and enjoy watching the kitchen the bar is the way to go. If you want a romantic option get a table. The food was off the charts good and my 3 guests from Florida said they wish they had one in Sarasota.

Very pricey for what you get. Small portions. Mocktail drinks are $10 a piece. Food is not consistent.

My husband made reservations a few days in advance for our date night, and the evening started off nicely. We shared the Lobster Dip—pretty good—and were immediately impressed by the service. Our server was warm, attentive, and truly one of the highlights of the night.

The food itself was good, though not outstanding. My filet, unfortunately, was underwhelming, but my husband enjoyed his elk loin. We paired our meal with a bottle of Cabernet that ended up being a great choice.

What we absolutely loved was the ambiance—cozy, inviting, and perfect for a night out together. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and a lovely evening, but we’re not entirely sure the meal justified the price point.

*I would recommend to request to be seated in the front dining area.
