The Restaurant at RT Lodge
I was put on a Very restricted diet after making this reservation (Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Egg Free, Peanut Free, Soy Free) due to allergies. The chef was able to still offer so many delicious options. They were so careful to make sure my food was correct and that I was safe. It was a very peaceful environment, polite staff, and stunning grounds. We loved our time.

We had a lovely meal at the RT Lodge. I had no idea what to expect, but it was a cold night, and we sat by the fire. Our waitress was charming, but the thing we cared about was the food. Amazingly enough I loved the squash the most! It was delicious! Who can make squash memorable???? Hats off to a chef who could do that.

I actually thought I made the best fried chicken in the world. The chef put me to shame. It was spectacular. I think I remember our server's name as Charlotte. She was just superb. We were able to eat outside on a February night which was such a treat.

My husband and I made a dinner date at this special place. The food was outstanding- his winter squash cannelloni and my braised short rib were fabulous. We split a beet salad to start - very creative with the beets prepared in different ways (pickled, smoked) and with candied pistachios on the side. Two delicious glasses of wine went with. The only let-down was the dessert, which was another attempt at a creative melange, but it didn’t deliver. But I can’t let that detract from what was a lovely meal in a comfortable setting.

Amazing as always. Love the food and the atmosphere.
As a traveler who is accustomed to fine dining and a resident of Knoxville for four years I can say the RT Lodge is perhaps the finest restaurant in the area. Frequently recommend it to friend s and family. Always select this as the place to entertain friends, family and business associates.

This has become our favorite restaurant in the area. The only thing I didn’t rate 5-star was the noise level. There was a table of 5 near us that made a fair amount of noise (the restaurant couldn’t do much about that) but we were still able to converse without raising our voices.
We’ll be going back there for another meal soon.
Thomas, thank you for taking the time to give us an excellent review in spite of the volume issue caused by other guests. We appreciate your understanding and are glad to hear you enjoyed your dining experience otherwise. We look forward to serving you again soon!

Quiet getaway that wasn’t too far away. The food was outstanding as always but it proved even better for our guests with very particular palates. I wish I can give more stars for the ambiance because it fits cozy and relaxing to a T.

The arugula and pear salad with goat cheese was very good. I had the pork schnitzel, best I've ever tasted. My friend loved the short ribs. We shared a perfect bread pudding for dessert and had plenty left for later. The place is beautiful and the ambiance couldn't be better. Prices are on the high side, but the experience is worth the cost.
