    This was the most amazing experience!!! We had a blast!!! Staff friendly, was a little behind on reservations but didn't feel like inconvenience due to helpful nature of staff asking if we would like a drink & hang at bar where we met several happy, great people. They tried to be fast which it wasn't long at all. The food was the best 10 oz sirloin steak & 12 oz lobster & salad fresh crisp & Asparagus was amazing that I ever put in my mouth. Very romantic. Spent around 175.00 for two full meals everything mentioned including fresh hot baked bread with pesto so delicious and 4 drinks. Well beyond worth the experience. Our server Bailey was beyond hospitable friendly, glad to serve, never wanted anything because she was on it before we needed to ask. Great suggestions and pairing of food and drinks. Very knowledgeable. She equally engaged in conversations with both of us as a couple not given to much attention to either of us without engaging the other person many wait staff are not skilled or lack that proper respect to the customer. But she nailed it! Sooooo Amazing 👏 🤩 😍 🙌 ❤️ can't say enough good about the most Amazing experience!!! We had the best valentine's day 💕 in our 30 years together ❤️

    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.
