Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Oak Ridge

Unanimously the best meal my husband and I had of 2024. We were seated on the patio on a 40 degree night, and it was perfectly comfortable. The pork belly “small plate” knocked our socks off, and the veggie pasta was outstanding. Our only regret was not leaving room for dessert, because that doughnut bread pudding looked BOMB. Didn’t particularly care for our server. He was easily distracted and kept repeating himself. A dinner for 2 turned into a 2 hour affair, but the biggest hangups were coming back to take our order and bringing us our bill. Could have been an off night for him, we’ve all been there, and it didn’t alter our experience to keep us from ever coming back.

Food was excellent and our waiter was amazing. We ended up with 8 people even though I told him we were down to 5! Fortunately, we were already at the large bar table! He rolled with it and was so kind and accommodating!!

Whitney always provides an excellent experience! Thank you!

Our server was attentive, professional, and kind. Always a pleasure eating at the Chop House!

Mike is great! Food, service are why we are repeat offenders, so to speak
