    This was our first time at The Marlowe and we really enjoyed it! We are frequently looking for new places in downtown Knoxville for special events - Valentine’s Day in this case. The food, ambiance, and prices were great for this occasion! I had the roasted duck and my wife had the lamb chops as our meals. And we had fried oysters with caviar, and crab bisque as appetizers! They were all tasty, delicious and good portions. We liked the high table seating in the bar area, but the regular seating area looked as comfortable. Service was friendly and professional. All high-end dining without breaking the bank! We will be back and will highly recommend The Marlowe to our friends.

    One of the best places in the Knoxville to go for a special occasion. Plan ahead as days like Valentines day can be really booked up and busy. The only available reservation we could get was at 3:45 PM (not a problem for us as we like to eat early). The place was packed, but the staff was still at the top of their game and everything ran efficiently. Food was wonderful as usual. Still one of our favorites.
