"Stopped in while passing through and honestly didn’t expect it to be this good. The place is beautiful inside — warm, stylish, and just has that “you want to stay longer” vibe. We started with oysters, then ordered the soup (super balanced, layered, and really well thought-out), and the mussels were unreal. Everything tasted carefully crafted, like a chef actually cared about every detail. And that bread with the mussels… ridiculous. The food feels genuinely chef-driven/creative, which is rare at this price point. We left impressed by the atmosphere and the flavors — if you’re nearby, make a stop here."

"We are dairy free and gluten free and they were very accommodating. Pricey, but OMG, worth every dollar. Great for celebratory events! Great for romantic getaways! Ask for Preston, his service was impeccable."

"10/10!!! Let’s start with service, Grace was amazing. She connected with us in more ways than one! She was so happy to explain the food options and insisted that we try each oyster that the restaurant offered. The oysters did not disappoint! It was both mine and my husbands first time ever having raw oysters and I’m so glad we chose The Brass Pearl! I ordered the mahi tacos and my husband had the chorizo and shrimp tacos..WOW!! We were offered the crème brûlée cheesecake and again…amazing. We will be back. No doubt!"

"My husband & I enjoyed a delicious lunch. The oysters were fresh. The fish & chips & lobster Mac & cheese were scrumptious. The servers were friendly & attentive. The decor & ambiance are lovely. We absolutely love this place. Prices are reasonable. Only positive things to say & looking forward to returning. Also, their unique cocktail “ship faced” is a delight!"

"Seafood place in downtown Knoxville! We tried the Oysters Rockefeller, and steak and fries. Mocktails were not on the menu but they easily made an accommodation. Quality of food, drinks and service were excellent. Very neat atmosphere and decor and highly recommend!"
