Josh at the bar was amazing! So kind and welcoming and mixed the best drinks. The food was also great. Beef carpaccio, ricotta, and the burger were all to die for. Highly recommend!

A great little hidden spot in the split hotel, which is very convenient beside the convention center and sun sphere. I really loved the vibe of this little restaurant. The bartender was amazing. I met a couple travelers while I was there and the woman beside me had soup which looked delicious. I went in for a drink which was made very well. So good! There was plenty of seats at the bar and tvs up on the wall, so i’m guessing a good place to watch a game. There’s a lot of different options for food and drinks.

Brought the wife here for Mother’s Day after finding it on a googled list of “Nice Restaurants Knoxville.”
1. It is in a Hotel, a nice hotel (In my opinion)
It is more of a bar than a restaurant.
2. Josh was our server/bartender and it was busy and he was understaffed and he was great. Honestly made the experience for us.
Would come back.

We stopped at the Drawing Room for drinks after returning to the hotel after a wedding. We had 8 people when we first arrived, and we quickly grew to 17 people. Our bartender Lucas was Fantastic. He happily made specialty cocktails for many people in our party, and his service and attention was great. He even agreed to allow us to continue our fun evening well past when he should have left. He made us feel extremely welcome.

Went here with my mother for a weekend of wedding planning. We did the afternoon tea on Sunday. I am not a critical person but this really disappointed me. There was only 1 tea to drink so no other tea selections. The menu is completely set for the food, no customization to the food. The food was clearly not made in house because the pastries/baked goods were hard and similar to pre-made grocery store food. The finger sandwich’s bread was completely stale. The service was limited and the cost was about $60 per person so for the cost it was not worth it.

Pretty disappointing. We got snacks here one day and breakfast another. The food all tastes like it’s a week old. To the point where it’s inedible. The dishes and utensils were dirty and there’s food all over the floor.

I used to love this place. Great food, excellent service, wonderful staff including the manager.
1) they took away the tenderloin tips. Best item on the menu for an excellent value. From here it seemed to careen sharply downhill.
2) the best bartender (at the time) was allowed to leave.
3) the best manager was allowed to leave. Someone who could light up a room and knew everyone by name. Someone who could make every experience amazing.
4) the whole staff has been allowed to turn over. Any establishment is only as great as the team that makes it. Real leaders would always take care of their people and would never allow them to feel anything less than total care. Businesses are only truly successful from the guests they accommodate to return time and time again.
5) management has changed all the furniture and removed the lounge feel. Now it’s like the breakfast room in a Marriott branded hotel. I’m not sure how the residents aren’t leaving over this.

I took my visiting parents and grandparents here in hopes of a fine dining experience. We quickly realized that it was more of a lounge and not a sit down restaurant for a party of 5+. However, Josh and the rest of the team immediately came to our rescue, and was able to get us set up at a table and went above and beyond with special touches. I cannot get over how well everyone did in making us feel so special. They are truly the top of the line in terms of Hospitality individuals. Outstanding experience, and I would love to be back in the future with more local visitors.

Perfect place for pre-dinner drinks! Classy setting and fantastic staff, tried their signature whiskey smash and bees knees, both were FANTASTIC. They have a collections of charcuterie from different countries and other small plates, prices not too bad around $15 for cocktails and $20s for the small plates. Definitely will go back, and stop by with visiting friends and family
