Review by Dagmar Adams

September 20, 2024

The Brass Pearl is a gem in Market Square! ⭐ The casual yet trendy atmosphere made for an ideal dinner spot.

We kicked off with the fried oysters and mussels - some of the best I've ever tasted! For mains, the grilled grouper was incredibly tender, paired beautifully with creamy lobster risotto. 🍽️

Our server was delightful, providing spot-on recommendations. The cocktail selection was fabulous, too! Just a minor note: the classic rock music was unexpected.

Overall, I can’t wait to return for more seafood magic... If you're in Knoxville, don’t miss this place! 🌊✨
