First kudos to the chef who could be working at a Michelin establishment foos prep exquisite. Also, the manager was very professional and came to check on our table and see we were satisfied. The waiter was good but you could tell he was juggling an awful lot. First impressions were shameful. We booked this months in advance of our trip for a special romantic meal. We dressed up for the occasion out of respect as we were raised. We were staying in the Heartsong and got the notification sent to our phone as a reminder of the reservation. We walked down, found the restaurant and were 15 minutes early. We were sent away, and l must add rather rudely and told to comeback at exactly 8 pm. There was seating where we could have been asked ,’would you be so kind to wait here while we make sure your table is ready since you are a bit early?” No….we were chastised and sent away while the walk ins dressed in amusement park attire were treated graciously and said they didn’t have a place yet but if they could please come back at 8pm they could seat them. By contrast when we left we made reservations for breakfast and arrived about 10minutes prior and apologized however it was a different hostess who actually had a gift in hospitality and welcomed us and treated us kindly.

Delicious food with a wide range of options. Regional specialties sit alongside other dishes for a variety of tastes. Children are very well accommodated. We also appreciate the discount for veterans and military personnel. Staff were warm and friendly; they even remembered us by the end of our stay.

German food in the area within two hours of Knoxville consists of bratts and beer. This was a first time here and we had German pot roast and a pork shank prepared like Schweinshaxe. Sides included potato pancakes and red cabbage. Our beer was a hefeweizen. All of it was top notch, as good as anything we've encountered. And the prices were very reasonable. Don't be fooled by the unassuming appearance both outside and inside the restaurant, this is real home-made German food.

We had a great dinner and our server although she seemed very new was very good and did a great job considering we were eight people four of which were children under the age of seven. The ambience was great and it was a good time had by all

Excellent meal and service, highly recommend! Went for a late lunch and they had several lunch specials.
