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!

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.
