Northshore Brasserie is a family owned, full-service restaurant and bar serving French Belgian cuisine in a relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere. Over the last decade, we have become a Knoxville favorite known for hearty delicious food, and outstanding service. For dinner, we specialize in Brasserie classics, such as: steak frites, mussels, roast chicken, fresh seafood, and handmade pastas. We also take advantage of local produce and meats to create in season specials. Our bar has a vibrant, unpretentious atmosphere where locals and out-of-towners gather to enjoy craft cocktails, Belgian beers, and a selection of wines from around the world.

    First time dining at Northshore Brasserie, but it won't be the last. Food (burrata salad, Brasserie salad, mussels & steak au poivre) were all prepared perfectly, well-presented and otherwise excellent. Kevin P.'s service was also very good, even though his station was pretty busy. Only letdown (if you can even call it that) were the profiteroles for dessert. The ice cream was fine, but the pastry was "tough" and way too chewy. Probably need to work on that. Prices certainly fair for cocktails and wine, and an overall good value. Would like to see a great pate on the menu and, perhaps, a Dover sole. Thank you!

    I only give it a four star because the braised rib was a little dry. The duck confit was 5 star and the service was excellent.

    Made reservations because friend in town. Was a huge disappointment. Waitress barely checked on us. Had to serve ourselves our wine from the bottle we purchased on ice. Table patrons beside us were incredibly rude, trying to get their party of 8 around a four top. They were on top of us when our food came. We moved ourselves to another table. No apologies. Very detached. I was embarrassed. Hope it improves. Will be a while before I go back.

    We like Northshore Brasserie and it may be our favorite find since moving to the Knoxville area. The service is exceptional and the food is quite good and in some cases unusual for Knoxville. On this particular evening, we each decided to venture a bit out of our usual culinary habits and try something different. I will say that neither choice was quite what we expected, but that was on us, not the restaurant. We will definitely go back, as previous meals have been outstanding.

    Have had better meals there. Food very slow to arrive, couldn’t get enough bread for everyone at table to have. Some plates arrived not hot, appeared to have been sitting while other food was being prepared. Profiteroles were tough.

    We have gone here on Valentine’s Day for years. The restaurant was extremely busy for 5:45. Our server just seemed overwhelmed. Usually we have had the best. Service was much slower. The menu is the same as ever. Food was not as good this time.

    Overall very nice. Soup was delicious. My entree, the branzino was overcooked, but everyone else had very nice meals. Dessert was underwhelming as the pastry was over also cooked. Overall a solid restaurant but nothing I would purposely go out of my way to revisit.
