Well on to the food. Tonight's review is about Chesapeake Seafood House located on Union Ave. in downtown Knoxville . Tn.
You can dress casual to formal , it's all fine. They have a light and lively atmosphere and the clientele was mostly the elder generation. The reason I say this is because the music playlist ranged from " Joe Walsh to Jim Croce to Joe Cocker to Billy Preston to Sir Elton" and everything in between. I tell you this because when I mentioned the oddity of the customers age and the music I was reminded by my wife that I was their age and that too was music of my generation. Well back to the food.
We both shared the fried Calamari appetizer and then had the Seafood Combination for dinner , only differences being , the wife's was fried and mine was broiled , hers had oysters and mine had a Maryland crab cake. They both had fish , scallops , shrimp and a side dish. While all of the seafood was delicious to say the least , the wife could not stop talking about her side dish. The side was baked macaroni with spinach Maria and spicy cheese. My side was Neva's potato's which was supposed to be like a twice baked potato casserole which was so so but nothing to brag about . We topped our night off with a piece of Slower Delaware Pie . This is coffee flavored ice-cream filling and a Kahlua crust topped with pecans , whipped cream and hot fudge. That was something else.
I must say that overall it was a very delightful evening and great food. It is definitely somewhere you would want to give a try if you are a seafood lover. I will be upfront with you and tell you it is an up scale restaurant and is not cheap . A party of two with an appetizer and entrée , dessert and drinks will destroy a Benjamin.
Well as the wife says , it's our anniversary and we don't do this every day! We rate this one 4.5 / 5.
Happy Anniversary Dear. I Love You!!
