Copper Cellar is one of my favorite restaurants in Knoxville. Great food and wonderful people! Jess will take great care of you at the bar, and the staff does a wonderful job. The food is amazing. If you sit at the bar, you can order from the Copper Cellar menu or the Cappuccino menu. My lemon chicken was wonderful, and a friend ordered the pork chops. She cannot stop raving about them!

Went here for a date night. They had an incredible special with a 24 oz porterhouse for two, it was the most delicious and well thought out meal that either of us have had in years. Everything from the service to the food to the drinks to the ambiance was incredible. I could not recommend it highly enough. Chris was our waiter, and he was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole night!
