Fine Dining in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee

For those who visit Tennessee and have a taste for fine-dining, there are more than blackberries and bramble to be found in the Smoky Mountains.  Christopher Place Resort offers a wide variety of sumptuous foods, and a full array of fine wines and alcoholic beverages, served in the Mountain View Dining Room Restaurant and Marston’s Library Pub.  These two venues offer distinct experiences, one more casual, one more refined.  It’s your choice of romance, here in Newport, Tennessee.

The Mountain View Dining Room Restaurant is the place to experience all the splendor Tennessee has to offer.  We give candlelit dinners from Tuesday to Saturday, and supply four-course prixe-fixe dining experiences, with salads, soups, or delicacies like “Baked Shrimp Remoulade Sauce,” and “Garlic and Onion Bisque.”  In description of the food served at Christopher Place Resort, East Tennessee Marquee Magazine said “Chef Valentine creates exquisite romantic dinners.”  As this steaming, seasoned symphony rolls over the tongue, the candles sparkle merrily and the fire pops in the fireplace.  Describing their overall experience at Christopher Place, one of our guests said “Beautiful rooms, excellent service and the secluded peace of the Smoky Mountains combine to make this the perfect place for a honeymoon. Delicious dinners and an in-room fireplace were the icing on the cake for us.”  Reservations are required to dine at this restaurant.

For a casual atmosphere, silvered with laughter and served with a traditional pub-style fare, visit Marston’s Library Pub, open every Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday and Monday.  To name but a few, we offer “Beer-Boiled Shrimp Cocktail,” a platter of jumbo shrimp boiled in a beer infused with seven spices, all served with a traditional cocktail sauce.  Celebrating the Old English feel, “Bangers and Mash” is a smoky sausage, served with creamy mashed potatoes covered in a rich brown sauce, with fresh sweet peas on the side.  And for a dessert that will send you to bed with a smile, the Marston’s Chocolate Cake with Guinness is made with rich dark chocolate, smooth Molasses, and a touch of Guinness, topped off with a shake of sugar and a spoonful of vanilla ice cream.

There’s a taste for everyone here, at the Christopher Place Resort, nestled in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
