This is a really good place to eat for the younger crowd I think. Perhaps age is a factor when thinking about eating here. Its a simple atmosphere and its in a cool location. The noise level which others have written about on here hasn't bothered me. The food DOES taste so fresh and there is just about anything to please your budget and your tastebuds!!

Good Vegetarian Fare, But Too Noisy

We came here while Sunday Brunch was going on. It was crowded, and as another reviewer noted, very noisy - my ears hurt! They really should consider noise-reduction measures. The food, however, was very good. Being a vegetarian, I am always looking for restaurants that offer veg fare that is creative and tasty. The veggie breakfast burrito was excellent. I have a little trouble, tho, with a restaurant that tries (and succeeds) to offer vegetarian fare, but that also serves bacon! If I were ever to come here again, would plan on coming at an "off" time so it would be quieter.

This place does have good food. There are lots of atypical combinations that always seem to be good. The price is a little above the normal, but management claims this is because of the fresh ingredients that they use. It tends to be loud because it's a rather small place with high ceilings and wooden floors and plain school-library looking tables and chairs.

My sister in law took us here for dinner on our first time visit to Knoxville. This is a very laid back casual atmosphere, and they serve vegetarian food, as well as meat items. They serve beer and wine only. The seating is on comfortable thick wooden chairs, and we arrived early for dinner, and by the time we left, the place was packed. It seemed to be a local hang-out. I thought it was great. I ordered the veggie sandwich, with tofu on a soft wheat roll. The wait staff was friendly and service was great. I liked the selection of vegetarian items and I would go there again on my next visit to Knoxville. The area is very quaint with some great shops with very unique items. I really loved this area for walking and browsing.
