Coconut quinoa is great but ask them to go easy on the honey because otherwise it’s drowning in it and walnuts on the side. We like the fried chicken but the loaded hash isn’t necessary- too many jalapeños. Pancake was decent and syrup was the best combo but overall not necessary. Yogurt parfait is nice and light if you’re not very hungry. Russ loves the Chicken and the egg dish! Billion dollar bacon wasn’t good, don’t get again.

The brewhouse bowl is dependable, but they went way over the top with the blackening seasoning. Just stick to grilled chicken…Which they do very well.  Russell liked the burger he got because it was 50% off on Wednesdays. But otherwise it would not have been worth the regular price. And that’s the biggest drawback… Insane prices. $15 for potstickers is insane. 2026: it was a good place to sit on a hot day and work on laptops, but the food does seem overpriced and the cheese sticks didn’t even seem as good as they used to be.

I love the spicy chai with oat milk and Russ likes the raspberry truffle drink and the chorizo burrito. I love the sausage waffle sandwich and the turkey pesto is excellent for all day energy for a wedding. I tried a blueberry scone and it was a little bland and on the dry side.

2023: The egg rolls have a good flavor but they’re a little mushy inside. The yellow curry also has a good flavor and it’s just the right size portion (though they should forego the peas). Their fried rice is very good too! Russ liked the duck meat but it came with waaaaaay too much bamboo and the Thai iced tea was mostly ice. 2024: cream cheese appetizer has no crab in it. I liked the pad see ew and Russ liked the garlic pepper beef and broccoli 2025: once again the Thai iced tea was mostly ice and didn’t have a great flavor. We got the dumpling appetizer and it wasn’t good. The Kay-yan grilled chicken wasn’t great and Russell wouldn’t get it again. The sweet sticky rice was fantastic! And the yellow curry is still just so perfectly flavorful.

Sweet potato pancakes with pecans were very good but I could only get through 1 out of 3. Scrambled eggs were decent. Russ would get something other than the country breakfast next time (waiter said they couldn’t do poached eggs but we don’t believe him). The outside area is dog friendly so it’s worth a return trip with Oat!

Wonderful experience for our 1st anniversary! We liked almost everything they served and they surprised us with a mini coconut cake. The white coconut tea was delicious and the pianist made the whole afternoon perfect! The fact that Otis can attend our next tea with us is the best thing I’ve ever heard!! 2025: our second time was even better! All the food was different but just as wonderful. They did raise their prices though so we were expecting $75 each and it was $95 plus forced 20% service charge for a total of $250. :(

The food we created was great and the experience was even better!!! We loved the salad and beef tenderloin entree and making our own pasta from scratch was a blast. The chefs were wonderful and everything was laid out perfectly.

The 4 way with onions is delicious! The garden salad is fresh and tasty, Great price for a filling meal and totally rehabilitated my thoughts on chili. The fries are good but be sure to get the chili separate so they don’t get soggy. We also tried the funnel fries and they were great. But the best thing is the cinnamon nutmeg ice cream that they only have some of the time!! Delicious!!

The bread and butter sampler was good but overpriced. The street corn dip was a delicious appetizer and one of my favorite things on the menu! The strawberry peach Bellini fell flat, but the lavender gimlet and old fashion were much better.  the bone in NY strip steak was cooked very well but Russell would get a different cut next time. The fish was very good but cooled off super quickly. The Gouda mac & cheese came out cold, but once they gave us a hot one, it was very good… Lacked a little bit of flavor, but good texture. We sent the squash dish back due to lack of cooking and flavor. Overall, good but not so outstanding to deserve the price tag and we both said we wouldn’t go back.

The corn cakes are always delicious and the Ritz cracker breaded fish is good. The lunch 11am-4pm is cheaper prices for the same stuff. Russ loves the horseradish filet but can’t ever finish the mashed potatoes. The broccoli was a bit bland and the rice was flavorful but packed with huge veggies. Don’t need the corn cakes again. And butter cake with blueberry ice cream was good but too sweet and dense. Otis sat in the booth as a service dog.

2024: I was so excited to find this restaurant is the same as the Sevierville location. But the nice menu and pretty dog friendly patio are where the similarities ended. The service was VERY slow and both of our entrées were over cooked and had to be remade. All totaled, we were there an hour and a half for what felt like 15 disappointing minutes of eating. It really didn’t fit the $100 price tag.  2026: the chicken salad sandwich is fantastic!! Love the sweet potato fries. The cherry cheesecake was good as well. Russell’s dish was just okay

The salad had a good flavor but waaay too much chicken which was a bit dry. The mozzarella sticks were good but heavy and Russ liked the meatloaf. They easily accepted Otis as a service dog inside. I would go back again but I did feel there was a lot going on with the menu and the decor and not everything came together in the end.

The free donuts were the best thing. The pancake was edible and the potatoes were good but the egg was super rubbery and unimpressive and the bacon was nothing close to crispy. Overall very typical diner and no need to ever return.

The drunken noodle dish was outstanding! Veggies and chicken cooked to perfection! Edamame was good but overpriced for what you get. Russ liked the garlic beef but the sticky rice was not good. Tasted like sugar water instead of coconut milk.

Chocolate chip pancakes are very good, waffle was bland. Gyro omelette is good but too many tomatoes. Skip the Spanish omelette for sure and the breakfast wrap was a bit bland. Biscuits and spicy gravy was good! Russell liked the country ham and the bacon was nice and crispy. Next time with the pancakes with chocolate and peanut butter chips.

Thai + sushi make for a great pairing. Lunch menu was great - only $11 (now $14) for cashew stir fry! Russ enjoyed the sushi both times. I got the Tennessee roll but it was too crispy for me and don’t need it again. Do NOT get the crab Rangoons: they use imitation crab and they taste fishy. We sent them back. The fried rice was very delicious with a great flavor! I also liked the custard sticky rice dessert.

The eggs and bacon were very good and the potatoes were cooked well but had zero flavor. They could greatly improve just by using seasoning. The pancakes were decent and fluffy but they really need real butter instead of vegetable oil spread. Russell got the roast beef sandwich and it was pretty gross. Overall, we probably won’t be back.

Everything we ordered was very good. Delicious meatball appetizer and even simple noodles were elevated by their yummy Alfredo. Good Caesar salad and solid broccoli. Go for the awesome $12 lunch special!! Soup, meatballs and salad for a steal. And the carrabellini drink was great and refreshing. Fried mezzaluna is gross and hard :/ Russ tried the lobster ravioli and doesn’t need it again. Lasagna is solid - though a bit strong on the tomato for my tastes

Super sad to say but this restaurant seemed all about an elevated dining experience and beautiful aesthetic and presentation….and the food just didn’t live up to the hype OR the price tag. The soup of the day was very good as was the chai ice cream.
