We went to Stir with friends to celebrate a basketball win and my birthday. Morgan took care of us and I must say the night was special for everyone. Seafood specials are amazing here!! But, my wife had chicken (seafood allergy) that was cooked to perfection with her condition in mind. Something for everyone. Will be back. Go Vols!!!

I previously reviewed Stir with 5 stars after eating dinner there. I don't know if this 4-star review wipes out the previous one, but if it does and my review is cut down to 4 overall, that's too bad (and Yelp should fix the system to allow for different stars, especially as this is for their brunch and not dinner). Anyway- I have to give 4 stars for this visit due to several small service-related issues. The brunch menu, the food, the extras (a small side buffet with some pastry and salads) were all really good. Service issues began with being asked on the reservation page if we wanted regular tables or high-tops; we asked for regular tables but got high top instead so...what's the point? Service was mixed....good and quick to start with, but then no-one came by to check through most of the meal. We wanted, at various times, to order another drink, to ask for a bit more hollandaise sauce for eggs Benedict, to get some food boxed up to go (and then to get the box!). The original waiter seemed to have disappeared at one point, another one came in and was removing plates, addressed some of the other issues, but then the original came back in for final measures. Confusing and caused delays. The brunch items were very tasty and no complaints there except for the previously-mentioned dearth of hollandaise on the eggs benedict. Again, I hope this does not remove or negate the prior review. Love this place and will definitely look forward to future trips there.

My friend and I came for some extra dirty martinis and oysters. This place did not disappoint! We loved the bartender Amanda, and enjoyed talking to her!

Great atmosphere, service, and food! The STIR Old Fashioned was perfectly balanced and the artisanal ice was a nice touch. The food selections were equally delicious. Would 12/10 return!

Had reservations for 4 after moving daughter back to UT. Prompt seating upon arrival. Server was great- offered her recommendations as well as the popular menu items to consider We have a family with gluten allergy and the menu identified a few GF options and the server offered others that could be made as GF Ordered the truffle fries as appetizer which were tasty and enough for 4 to share. Steak frites were perfect portion and the gravy base was delicious. GF mahi mahi bowl was fresh and flavorful. The surf and turf tacos on special had great flavor and perfect portion. Wish they would offer corn tortilla for GF option. The cocktails were delicious and so many to choose from. Ambience was nice and lively crowd. Would definitely return when back in town!

Everything was very good- food and drinks! Was recommended by server to get Mac and cheese at the bottom of chicken piccata and it was delicious. Service was amazing. We sat outside and patio was great atmosphere on a summer night.

My friend and I had a great experience at Stir this weekend. We arrived about half an hour earlier than our reservation but were seated promptly. Autumn was our server, and she was amazing. We started with the fried green tomatoes appetizer (topped with pimento cheese) and a bottle of wine. Then for our entrees, we chose the Spicy Mahi Bowl and the Halibut Piccata. Everything was so delicious! The restaurant was packed, as most places in the Old City are on the weekend. It's beautifully decorated and super convenient to parking across the street.
