    Very noisy when we walked in. Excellent food and service until it was time for the check. Our server, “Island Man” became overwhelmed with a group of high maintenance ladies, and taking care of their billing took excess time. I was waiting at least 20 min for our check. Where was it he manager or other staff members when one server has a tough situation with a large party? I really felt neglected.

    Madison was our server. She is a fabulous person and she made our experience very special. She’s a class act! The food is exceptional. My husband had the onion soup. I had the Brasserie salad. Servings were ample and delicious. We both had the special. Pork. See attached picture. We ended our culinary journey with the apple pie, caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. Madison provided us with a champagne toast to celebrate our anniversary. My husband had a very special Bordeaux and I had a French 75. We had an experience to remember. Thank you very everything.

    Came on recommendation of a friend in Knoxville. The food, service, and experience exceeded expectations. We enjoyed the mix of Belgian and French cuisine.

    On 10-13 my wife and I celebrated my birthday. My favorite--duck confit- was dry, tough and overdone. Dissappointing. Did not send it back since doing so always destroys the joint pleasure of a dinner, and the restaurant can never undo the probkem without casting a pall on everyones dining experience.

    Went here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. I’d been following their page on instagram for a while and their food always looked phenomenal. I can now verify that their food also tastes phenomenal! I had the chef’s special which was the duck breast that night and my husband had the filet mignon. Both were cooked to perfection. Our server called himself the island man and he was very courteous and attentive. He kept us entertained all night (and continually updated us on the current score of the game). The atmosphere was not stuffy at all but still felt upscale. I would recommend this place to anyone celebrating any nice occasion!

    Great date night dinner. Our server Madison was terrific. Bar was busy and inviting while we waited a short time for our table. Food was wonderful.
