Restaurants near Indian Boundary Lake Recreation Area

We went to Dancing Bear last evening to celebrate my husband's 81st trip around the sun! It is our go-to spot for all special occasions and when we just want to give ourselves a treat. Also, it is always the dining venue requested by family and friends who visit us in East TN. We had fried gulf oysters for our appetizer. They were excellent as was my entree of trout with grits and my husband's brined pork chop. Their staff is welcoming and personable - attentive without hovering. We had the added treat of being seated near the fireplace which was most welcome on a bitterly cold night. We love everything about the Dancing Bear - location, ambiance, service and especially the food. Not only do we love it but so does everyone we have ever treated to a meal there.

Great staff and very good, extensive menu. We sat near the fireplace -- very nice! This is a great restaurant to visit during the holidays as it's beautifully decorated. Highly recommended!

Our Waiter was very pleasant, and did an amazing job. 2nd visit they were out of Ribeyes so styled for the filet. Good but not the ribeye!! My Walt had the Salmon Fresca and it was really good and the Lobster Bisque is always one of my favorites

Conners is always great. However, the very expensive prime ribeye cap ($80) was just okay but not great like I expected. Just be aware if youre considering that cut. Get the bisque it's the best I've ever had.

The waitress was incredibly attentive, the bartender was friendly and crafted amazing drinks, and the food was absolutely delightful.
