Best Casual Restaurants in Knoxville

The Marlowe never disappoints. The food, ambiance, and service combine for one of Knoxville's best dining experiences. They have an array of craft cocktails. My favorite is the Fall Fashioned which is great any time of year. My grilled duck was juicy and cooked to perfection. There was also live jazz music on this evening that further elevated the experience. The Marlowe is my go to place for a casual dinner or a celebration. It is truly one of the gems of the Knoxville dining scene.

The service and the food was absolutely fantastic!! The Chicken Ranchado is a must get!!

Great experience, great server who suggested delicious foods. The spicy tuna was unbelievably good. Future plans to make another date night there.

I booked the afternoon tea as a Mother’s Day gift for my mom and aunt. We chose to enjoy our experience after Mother’s Day to avoid large crowds. Everything about the afternoon tea at The Drawing Room was exceptional from the time we arrived until we left. Lissa was our host and was phenomenal. We chose the latest seating, but she did not make us feel rushed and took her time to explain everything as if we were the first ones. The selection of sweet and savory accompaniments left something to be enjoyed by our entire party, and the signature tea blend was a hit at our table. I would definitely recommend this experience for a special occasion, or just as something different to do on a Sunday afternoon.

We had a pleasant brunch on Easter. The food was excellent and the service was fantastic.
