  Every bite of the Maine Lobster pappardelle was delicious! They were very generous with the lobster and the cream sauce was very light and refreshing.

  Went there for my birthday reservation lastnight. The service was excellent! BIG SHOUT OUT TO SPENCER 🗣️. He was very attentive and the food came out in time and was perfectly done! 👌🏾 The atmosphere was amazing! The Confit Pork Belly and Rock Shrimp Fritters were a great starter “chefs kiss” 🤏🏾 The Fettuccine Bolognese and the Maine Lobster Pappardelle was perfect 😍 It’s a great spot but my only low key disappointment was the fact that they were unable to pipe “happy birthday” for my planned dessert. It’s something they don’t do 👀. Heading to another restaurant tonight to try to continue with my tradition of desserts with happy birthday on the plate. 😂 corny you may say but other than that, I appreciate what they have to offer with the overall service. Thank you! ☺️

  I recently dined at Oliver Royale for Valentine’s Day, and the experience was absolutely beautiful from start to finish. We ordered the lamb, burger, and swordfish — and each dish had its own highlight. The lamb was incredible — tender and literally falling off the bone, full of rich flavor and cooked perfectly. The burger was cooked medium well and still unbelievably juicy, which is not easy to do. It was flavorful, satisfying, and paired perfectly with the fries. The swordfish was cooked wonderfully with a great texture, though I do think it could have used just a touch more seasoning to really elevate it. For dessert, we had their traditional Valentine’s Day chocolate mousse with raspberry topping and whipped cream — and it was the perfect sweet ending to the evening. Light, rich, and balanced with just the right amount of tartness from the raspberry. Our wine, La Favorita Reggiano Lambrusco, was recommended by Haley, and she absolutely nailed it. It paired beautifully with our meal. Haley and Alexis both took amazing care of us — attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. Their service truly made the night feel special. Overall, it was a romantic, elevated dining experience, and I would definitely return. Oliver Royale continues to impress! 🍷✨

  I don't write many bad reviews but we had a very bad experience and will have no reason to go back. I don't think I saw the hostess smile once. The bartender's only comment all night was that she didn't feel good. My drink was watered down. Appetizer wasn't rang in. Pork came out raw in the middle. Manager brought out recook and didn't even acknowledge or apologize. Oh and the reservation asked us if we were celebrating which we were, our 10 year anniversary which we noted. No one mentioned or acknowledged this at all. Too many good restaurants in Knoxville that like to celebrate occasions and give great service, so won't be going back here.
