We were staying at the terralodge treehouse and decided to give the Shakerag a try for dinner. It was an absolutely outstanding meal, the waitress was pleasant we asked to be seated outside and there was no lack of attention even though we were not in the main dining room. I had t he Stake frites, my wife had the sea scallops and we both had cocktails, everything was excellently prepared, flavorful and an overall excellent experience.

Bartender was miserable & waitress indifferent/borderline rude.
Food was a bit disappointing...we tried snacks & breakfast. Avocado Toast was burnt and needed to be sent back. Sewanee Breakfast was decent. Chili was ok, but needed chips and onions. Sweet Potato Fries were great.

Very nice restaurant, the service was wonderful! Very helpful attentive and kind staff.
The food was not something I would come back for unfortunately….
Eggs Benedict is supposed to be a poached egg, with a runny warm yoke that spills out and mixes with the hollandaise. The hollandaise is supposed to be a somewhat runny sauce that’s poured over the eggs.
This Bennie’s started on the wrong foot with no potatoes on the side! Next the hollandaise was THICK. Not pourable, even a little. It literally *plopped* out and kind of half fell off of the egg haha. More like a custard. I will say the sauce was flavored very very well, salted, with a touch of lemon.
The eggs however… cooked HARD. Hard and dryyyyyy. I’ve had eggs Benedict in a dozen states across the country - and I have never had eggs overcooked this much!
Thank you for the service!

The food was decent but not what I hoped for based on the cost of the meal. The service was the best part of the experience.

Overcrowded. Over rated. Overcooked. Overpriced. Sewanee has so much to offer but nowhere nice and clean to stay in. If you have money to invest in a luxury hotel in this area, I'm telling you that it would be an EXCELLENT investment.. nothing at all offered here. Since there is NO competition here, I can see people raving about this place but honestly... Just go to Papa Ron's

Good food, and very polite staff that cares about you.
The Authentic lamb Sheppards pie reminded me of my time in Germany! The sirloin is super tender and juicy even fully cooked. They make their own steak sauce to go with the steak !! We will be coming back again and again! If the check said $100 I’d pay it smiling?

Great drinks, food, and service. Enjoyed getting to know the food/drink director confident in his own menu to be able to recommend menu items at other area restaurants. Looking forward to my next visit here!

Short version: everything was great and we were very happy with the meal.Long version: we were looking for a place for a late dinner. Not many options. We were skeptical because of only having 22 reviews and had low expectations. Everything exceeded expectations. Shrimp and grits were delicious. Cocktails were on point. Cookie skillet was darn good.Atmosphere is a little high brow as it is inside a nice hotel. Some folks in there seemed like the type that would complain about anything no matter the circumstances. So take negative reviews with a grain of salt.I’d recommend dinner here and would be happy to go back!

Everything was great: food, drinks, service and desert. Pretty fancy place. Had a few apps, entrees, drinks, and the cookie skillet for dessert. We were happy with all of it.An old bat at another table was mad about her steak, but she seemed the type to complain about everything. I'm sure they see that a lot.Happy we stopped in. I'll be back. Definitely a place to eat if you're in the area.

Well, 9 of our Thirsty Thursday crew met up on Friday night at the Shakerag Restaurant in the Sewanee Inn. First off the decor there is worth the trip even if you don't eat there, but we did! Usually it's hard to get seating for 9 folks but we were accommodated as soon as we arrived. The host, servers and manager waisted no time getting everything ready and we were seated.Waiting on one couple we ordered drinks and they were out in a flash. Great selection and very well made! We visited and had a great time and got our orders in when the couple arrived.The menu selection was great and everyone seemed to get something different. Appetizers of Pork Belly, Brussel Sprouts and Sweet Potato Fries were ordered and were excellent. All of the entrees were fantastic and everyone loved their orders. Our server was awesome and the manager came, checked on us and we all gave him a "big" thumbs up!!This is a definite "do again" place whether it's the group, couple or single!!
