$$$$•American•4.7(1,030)STIR is the perfect restaurant to sip a craft cocktail over a dozen oysters, enjoy a night out, or meet for lunch. Located in the heart of Old City, the restaurant is an open-air concept with a large, heated outdoor patio. We are open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch.
Great food starts with fresh, local ingredients. Our kitchen prepares everything from scratch, and our signature raw bar is stocked with fresh oysters and seasonal seafood. STIR is famous for craft cocktails. We freeze and carve 300-pound blocks of artisanal ice in-house, age certain cocktails in oak barrels for richer flavors, and place others on draft for crispness and carbonation. The result: categorically elevated cocktails. Our passion for fine spirits also compels us to find and share rare bottles, many of which are extremely difficult to procure. We welcome Knoxville to enjoy our unmatched cocktails, fresh seafood, and classic dishes in an atmosphere of genuine hospitality

- JJohnCharlotte •12 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoAmalfi Restorante Italiano is a hidden gem! We went there for brunch and the food was excellent. Service was a bit on the slow side if you are wanting an in-and-out experience (< an hour) I would not recommend it. We had appetizers and drinks, Salads, entre, and desert, spending 2-1/2 hours having conversation and good food, and an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend this location to couples or groups looking to escape the day-to-day grind, slow things down, and enjoy company and excellent food.More infoAmalfi Ristorante Italiano$$$$• Italian• Knoxville•4.1

Discover Knoxville
The mid-sized city of Knoxville sits amidst the ample hills and curving roads of East Tennessee. It is located just under 200 miles southeast of Nashville. Many restaurants allow casual dress, but you might wish to don semi-formal attire for the choices of fine dining that Knoxville has to offer. Knoxville chefs are proud of their comfort foods, such as grits and macaroni and cheese, which are popular throughout the South. Conversely, common urban dishes such as steak and cheese hoagies also abound in these hills. If you wish, you can finish your meal with a latte or a glass of wine.
