“We ate at Lilou Brasserie recently and absolutely loved our experience! Lilou Brasserie completely exceeded our expectations! The cocktails were great, and our appetizers and entrees were wonderful. Everything was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Our server was friendly and really helpful with the menu. The restaurant was beautiful inside! It was the perfect date night. I highly recommend Lilou Brasserie and can’t wait to dine here again!”
“What a lovely place! The decor is beautiful and elegant. Gilded paintings, green velvet banquets, rose glass chandelier and some fun art in the bar eaves. The food is excellent and our service was spectacular! Our server not only accommodated our preferences she made recommendations for future visits. We had omelets which were those creamy small curd slightly scrambled eggs wrapped around cheese (him) and spinach (me). Please remove hard woody spinach stems in future. Pain Au chocolate and fruit plus lattes served in beautiful China tea cups rounded out a wonderful breakfast. This place is exactly why eating out is a joy. We will return!”
“Our server, Abigail, made us feel right at home. She handled my husband’s dairy allergy better than any server we’ve encountered in Knoxville. She didn’t forget to include a little dairy-free treat at the end of our meal. He had an amazing dining experience and hasn’t had any issues since. We were hesitant to go, but we’ll definitely be back many times now that we know how accommodating the chef is. Every dish, glass of wine, bread, and cheese was part of an artistic culinary journey that created an unforgettable masterpiece experience. We highly recommend dining there to our friends and family. It has become my favorite restaurant, surpassing even my picky taste. Thank you for gracing Knoxville with your incredible talents! We look forward to seeing you soon.”
“Went for a date night and we had the best time. With great food! We love to sit at the bar! We had the Rossini- a melt in your mouth filet with fois gras and the best potatoes! We also had the Beef Bourguigon which is like a French stew. Simply put this dish gave me all the feels of wonderful home cooked meal! Not pictured the steaming hot escargot and the warm pull apart baguette with the best butter imaginable! We liked to dip the baguette in the garlicky butter sauce of the escargot as well! Also being pregnant they made me a fancy chocolate milk martini with an orange twist! We have been several times to Lilou and have even come for brunch and have not left disappointed! Highly recommend for a cocktail and appetizer, date night, or even for breakfast/ brunch!”
“What an amazing experience! We thought we successfully made a dinner reservation online but we did not. It was ok because the staff at Lilou got us a table and took great care of us. Our cheese board was amazing and very well selected for our group. The drinks and entrees were AMAZING! We ended the evening with a cappuccino and creme brûlée. If you are looking for a food experience downtown knoxville this is the place to go! Thank you again to the staff for getting us in on a busy night and taking such great care of us!”
