   Our server Jamie was very attentive on this visit. It was my husband’s birthday and he chose to go like I chose on my birthday last month. They served him a hot fudge sundae for dessert but, no offer was made on my birthday and we also got French fries with our entrees this time, last month there was no side dish with the entrees and we bought the same entrees.

   This is by far the best seafood restaurant in Knoxville. It doesn’t matter if we are wanting a nice lunch or a special dinner, it meets the expectations every time.

    The scallop bisque had huge chunks of scallops in them. The gulf oysters were moderate size. The scallops over pasta needed to be more complex plus be cooked in white wine. Service was good but our waiter had too many tables and he had to bus these tables. They need to hire more people. This place is in Knoxville, TN where the University of Tennessee is located. There are plenty of kids to hire if they only pay better. The place is expensive but we think it’s the best place to eat in town.

    The Maryland salad, crab bisque and broiled combo platter were all fantastic. The variety of breads were warm and delicious. Our server was pleasant and attentive. I couldn't have been more satisfied and look forward to another visit when back in Knoxville.

    Usually really good but not as good this visit as usual. Crab/corn chowder was more gumbo. Not much corn and zero crab. Fried shrimp over cooked but not terrible. Spinach Maria is very good. Wife’s salmon was good. Definitely going back. They were slammed with families have graduation dinner so not a normal night. Server tried hard but it was easy to tell she needed some help which is not abundant anywhere these days. Definitely go there if you haven’t. This was not the best night but it was still a good 7/10.

    We received exactly what we expected from Chesapeake's Downtown; excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The West location is good, and sometime more convenient, but for a special evening with someone special, Downtown always delivers.

    The best place in town for a variety of fresh fish, and an array of oysters. Best raw and baked oysters, but the only place (I’ve found in town) for mouth watering grilled oysters!

    We were very impressed with Chesapeakes. Even though it was a very busy Mother’s Day lunchtime, the staff were courteous and calm, although they should have had an additional person behind the bar as the poor barman was run off his feet. The food and drink was all excellent and fairly reasonably priced. Apparently they get their seafoods flown in daily, and it all tasted fresh, not previously frozen. We will definitely be back.

    Stopped into Chesapeake’s Downtown for a date night dinner & had an excellent meal? The steamed shrimp were excellent & the broiled SeafoodTrail I’d platter was even better (we always get two meals & split). Service was excellent as well from walking in to leaving. Will definitely go again!

    The best Sunday brunch I have had in a long time. The food was excellent and service was very good (probably would have been excellent, but they were very busy and it was Easter). I had the eggs Chesapeake and they were excellent. I had the onion rings as my side and I highly recommend the onion rings - they were the best I have had in a long time. As for desert, the selection was excellent and all that we had were excellent. The only problem we had was eating all that was served. Be sure to be hungry when you go to Chesapeake's, as you will have a hard time eating all that is served.
