We made a reservation after seeing lots of favorable online reviews to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
Seasons 101 is located inside an old hotel in downtown Sevierville. We were greeted by the hostess and seated quickly.
Our waiter was very good and made some suggestions about the menu. This menu changes with the seasons (hence the name).
The meal begins with a very good flatbread and a garlic herb butter.
We chose the Brussel Aglio E Olio (13.00), which were parmesan encrusted brussel sprouts, prosciutto with a garlic balsamic reduction. They also had some shaved parmesan on top. It was very flavorful and a nice potion serving. They could have cooked a little longer as some of them were still very raw/hard in the center, but I highly recommend them.
I had the Bone in Porkloin ($26.00), which was a fire seared porkloin with a maple mustard glaze. Served with sautéed mushrooms and coriander & pimento cheese grits. The loin was cooked to perfection and a very generous portion. The maple mustard glaze was watery thin but very flavorful (a thicker actual glaze would have been better). But that's where the good ends. It was served on top of some very disappointing, overcooked, extra limp asparagus, which had very little flavor. They would have been better if they were seared on the grill (or wrapped in bacon), but all I got was limp, overcooked, and bland. I guess there was some hint of pimento in the pimento cheese grits, but it was not found. The maple glaze was very thin and had seeped into the grits, so i wouldn't be surprised if they were in reality, just plain grits with maple glaze leaked into it.
My wife had the Spring Primavera Pasta ($28.00) which had a flavorful chicken breast, baby carrots, the same disappointing overcooked asparagus, tomatoes, pearl onions, roasted red peppers, sun dried tomato pesto, cream sauce, fettuccine, and parmesean shards. Can I just leave it saying that the chicken was flavorful, but the rest was a bowl of disappointment? It may have not been to our personal taste, but we just didn't care for it. I don't remember it having any baby carrots although it was listed on the menu.
Overall the meal was okay, nice ambiance, but for +/- $90.00 including the tip, I think I will go somewhere else next time.
