- DdaryllAlabama •3 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoValentine’s Dinner Our waitress Cloe was the best! She was friendly, efficient, & attentive! She is definitely a people person & should be in public relations. The food was very delicious! My filet mignon was perfectly cooked as ordered, which a difficult task. My husband’s ribeye was on point as well. House Salad was delish with house made ranch. We even had dessert for the special occasion which was cream brûlée cheese cake. It was amazing. I have one negative, which my personal dislike . The fresh bread was rosemary bread. I don’t care for rosemary so that is the only thing I would change. It had a great taste even with my disliking of rosemary. We will definitely return.More infoCherokee Grill and SteakhousePrice: Moderate• American• Gatlinburg•4.5
