Stopped in while passing through and honestly didn’t expect it to be this good.
The place is beautiful inside — warm, stylish, and just has that “you want to stay longer” vibe. We started with oysters, then ordered the soup (super balanced, layered, and really well thought-out), and the mussels were unreal. Everything tasted carefully crafted, like a chef actually cared about every detail.
And that bread with the mussels… ridiculous. The food feels genuinely chef-driven/creative, which is rare at this price point. We left impressed by the atmosphere and the flavors — if you’re nearby, make a stop here.

We are dairy free and gluten free and they were very accommodating. Pricey, but OMG, worth every dollar. Great for celebratory events! Great for romantic getaways! Ask for Preston, his service was impeccable.

10/10!!! Let’s start with service, Grace was amazing. She connected with us in more ways than one! She was so happy to explain the food options and insisted that we try each oyster that the restaurant offered. The oysters did not disappoint! It was both mine and my husbands first time ever having raw oysters and I’m so glad we chose The Brass Pearl! I ordered the mahi tacos and my husband had the chorizo and shrimp tacos..WOW!! We were offered the crème brûlée cheesecake and again…amazing. We will be back. No doubt!

Came here on Saturday night, the food was delicious! My partner and I put down 27 oysters in total, they had an awesome selection. Our entrees were also lovely but I think I found my new oyster spot in Knoxville!

My husband & I enjoyed a delicious lunch. The oysters were fresh. The fish & chips & lobster Mac & cheese were scrumptious. The servers were friendly & attentive. The decor & ambiance are lovely. We absolutely love this place. Prices are reasonable. Only positive things to say & looking forward to returning. Also, their unique cocktail “ship faced” is a delight!

I had such a great dining experience at The Brass Pearl it was a five star experience and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great oyster bar. The drinks were so good and loaded with alcohol the muscles and feta honey whipped dip was exceptional and the lobster roll was one of the best I’ve had and the crème brûlée cheesecake was out of this world. Our waitress, Grace was great, personable and very attentive and made so many great recommendations with the oysters and appetizers it made the dining experience that much better. Definitely try The Brass Pearl you won’t be disappointed!

Seafood place in downtown Knoxville! We tried the Oysters Rockefeller, and steak and fries. Mocktails were not on the menu but they easily made an accommodation. Quality of food, drinks and service were excellent. Very neat atmosphere and decor and highly recommend!

Hell yeah!! The food was fantastic (Sea bass & Shrimp and grits). The oyster shot was fantastic. The sparkling water was a nice treat. The living on a pear cocktail was horrible and came with a giant ice cube. There was an orange slice in it & I couldn’t taste pear. I wasn’t even sure it was the drink I ordered. The staff was sweet and allowed us to switch tables after complaining about the insanely bright lights. FYI there are no TVs. We did make reservations. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!

When this place opened up on market square, I was honestly doubtful of a seafood restaurant in Knoxville. Little did I know they would prove me so wrong. I can’t believe I waited so long to come here! I’ve been twice now and both times the food and the experience were outstanding. I highly recommend the salmon or the fried shrimp. Both were perfectly cooked and fairly priced. They have an espresso machine as well, and the latte I had was delish. The inside decor is very chic and the staff is very attentive. Don’t miss out on this gem! ♀️

We have not ONE complaint. We tried various different hot and cold starters and everything was delicious. The cocktails were amazing too. Excellent espresso martinis, old fashioned and dirty martinis. Our server was Mya and she was a doll! This was an excellent first-time experience for us.
