Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Lenoir City

We had a wonderful experience at The Chophouse House for my birthday lunch. Our server Jenny was very courteous and attentive. She didn’t hover but we didn’t have to wait long for service. Our appetizers and food were delicious.

Our server today was Reece who made our lunch especially nice. She made sure our water glasses were never empty and that our bread and entree arrived promptly. She smiled throughout our lunchtime. All of the employees at Knoxville location have made Connors are favorite restaurant. Today, Reece made an outstanding impression on us. The food was delicious. The fried cod was perfectly prepared.

My nephew and I went to Fleming’s to celebrate his birthday. Our server was Katie and she was a sweetheart from beginning to end. Our food was delicious and our steaks were cooked to perfection! We’ll be back!

Beautiful setting, fantastic food, great service. Will definitely return.

We went to Dancing Bear last evening to celebrate my husband's 81st trip around the sun! It is our go-to spot for all special occasions and when we just want to give ourselves a treat. Also, it is always the dining venue requested by family and friends who visit us in East TN. We had fried gulf oysters for our appetizer. They were excellent as was my entree of trout with grits and my husband's brined pork chop. Their staff is welcoming and personable - attentive without hovering. We had the added treat of being seated near the fireplace which was most welcome on a bitterly cold night. We love everything about the Dancing Bear - location, ambiance, service and especially the food. Not only do we love it but so does everyone we have ever treated to a meal there.
