   TLDR: it was good, nothing made it great. My partner and I had a lovely anniversary dinner here a few nights ago. Overall, it was good food, good wine, and good ambiance. Honestly, there wasn’t much to write home about and I’m not sure that we will be back! With such a small menu, there wasn’t anything where we HAD to come back to try or get again. Lovely meal, but nothing really pushed the experience over the edge to make it great.

   The food and drinks were outstanding. Team members have been there for years and are fabulous! The best spot in Knoxville for dining and drinks.

   Actually prefer this temporary location to any previous location of this extremely good restaurant. The window wall for the kitchen is beautiful brick walls and archways create a wonderful environment. Food is outstanding as always.

   Always a favorite and and the fall menu was very good. While I may not be the most adventurous eater, having the seasonal dishes offers variety and new tastes. The creamed corn dip was good. The filet was very tender and done perfectly. And another in our party has the chicken ratatouille which she enjoyed. Great night.

    Husband had lamb chops. They were very tender and fairly juicy. I had the shrimp and drunken noodles. The grilled shrimp was tasty while the noodles, broth and mushrooms had absolutely no flavor. Server was nice, but very slow. It seemed that they were short-staffed. Cute building. BTW, do not follow google map directions; use Apple or Open Table.

    Such fabulous food, service and cocktails! With some new items on the menu, I had to try the amazing Lettuce Wraps...a nice kick with interesting flavors, and did I mention tenderloin bites?! So good! The Puree' of Cauliflower Soup is always velvety and delicious. We shared some Parmesan/Truffle Fries, and the Beef Tenderloin entree', cooked to perfection! It was also so nice to see, right on the menu, a round of icy cold beverages for the cooks...of course, we added that! I love this little pop-up location and truly hope it stays as is, even with the new larger one on its way!

    We were visiting from Richmond, Virginia and the restaurant had been a suggestion from our local acquaintances. We were a bit worried when I called to confirm the reservation and was told they had moved to a pop -up location. We had to drive a bit father as the old location was very close to our hotel. The area might be called transitional, but some of our best restaurants in Richmond are in the old warehouse districts or odd locations, so that did not seem abnormal to us. The pop-up location was charming; we felt it had great ambience. We felt the maitre d'/host and our server both acted with a reserved, professional, friendly and unobtrusive dignity that you don't often find these days. The food was very good and there was a nice by the glass wine selection. We had the salmon and duck for main course, the parmesan truffles fries, the scallop special and smoked fish spread for appetizers and ordered cheesecake--which we do not normally do--since we enjoyed our food so much. Oh and it was fairly quiet in the restaurant despite a lot of hard surfaces. All around an excellent dining experience.

    Nice new place for this restaurant; Extremely comfortable, warm, quiet, easy parking. I Excellent service. Easy reservations system. We were seated immediately upon arrival. I started with a martini with cucumber flavoring. Incredibly delicious. For dinner I was served lamb chop and Cauliflower soup. I also tasted some Sichuan scallops and Asparagus. All were amazingly tasty. I had Malbec wine with my lamb. We will return.

    Bistro By The Tracks should be on everyone’s list if they are looking for a restaurant with great food, relaxed atmosphere and attentive service. Beginning with a warm greeting at the front door, everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed their dinner. Whether you are in the mood for a classic hamburger or a sophisticated entree, the Bistro is a perfect choice.

    The new Central Ave spot has the perfect balance of classy local feel with exposed brick walls and a window wall opening up the kitchen (without the noise). Our food was perfectly cooked and presented. the tomato salad was fresh summer eating at its best. the salmon was oh so right! Finally, our waiter, Anthony was professional in every respect! All in all, a wonderful evening.

    After writing I in OPEN TABLE that this was a celebration of an engagement for our daughter, telling the manager as we arrived of said celebration, and then telling the waiter before ordering dessert that this was a celebratory dinner, we received nothing. Perhaps this is their policy, and if so, why ask up front? If it isn’t their policy it was just lousy treatment.

    Salmon was very plain, flounder was over cooked. Dessert portions were skimpy. Overall very disappointed since we’ve eaten at Bistro’s before and were very pleased. New Location is too noisy. Could have gotten what we had for much less at other Knoxville locations for half the price.

    We made a Open Table reservation but did not look at the exact address. When we UBER it, it took us to their old location which is obviously closed. I had the Halibut special with farm carrots - excellent Great cocktails however the place was packed, tables are close together and noise level is high.

    Food was overpriced for the quality. Seafood dip appetizer was almost inedible due to the shrimp in it being overly salty and saturated with vinegar. Our risotto came out ice cold and the bison burger was fair, not worth the price tag. Truffle fries and the halibut were fantastic though. Incredible service, food was just overall subpar and the price tag didn’t help.

    We have eaten at Bistro by the Tracks in three previous locations, so we wanted to check this one out. It is excellent, just like the others were. Smaller, a bit less formal (but that is appropriate for Happy Holler). Our service was good and the food was outstanding. You should try it.
