Located in Sevierville’s historic Central Hotel, Seasons 101 combines a casual dining atmosphere with upscale American cuisine. The restaurant’s name tells you what it values most: Seasonal, fresh ingredients, in a menu that changes to reflect the best food available. You might find new dishes on the menu at every visit!
A sampling from a recent Seasons 101 menu whets your appetite. Starters include buttermilk chicken with honeysuckle hot sauce; crispy calamari; pumpkin bisque soup; and spinach bacon salad.
Signature entrees are hearty, like aged ribeye steak, dusted with coffee and cocoa, or walnut-crusted rack of lamb. The “hunter’s platter” features venison, lamb and duck. Tender chicken breast nestles in cream sauce. Wild shrimp and smoked andouille sausage come with old-fashioned Southern grits. Pastas include linguini carbonara with roasted root vegetables.
Burgers are a juicy combo of fresh-ground chuck and lean brisket. Sandwiches might include the prime rib sandwich or Italian chicken ciabatta. Can you still make room for peach cream cheesecake, chocolate ganache or zesty key lime pie?
Saturdays and Sundays, from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., indulge in a leisurely brunch with both lunch and breakfast favorites like omelets and praline pancakes. Seasons 101 brunch offers soup, salads, burgers and sandwiches as well as unique combinations: Dig into French toast infused with Bailey’s Irish Cream, or eggs Benedict with slices of seared Black Angus sirloin.
Like the rest of the menu, cocktails are a taste of the season. In fall, think: Blood orange cranberry margarita, pear ginger martini or butter pecan old fashioned. The restaurant’s signature drinks include a luscious peanut butter Manhattan. Choose from an extensive list of wines, liquors, Tennessee craft beers, and domestic and imported beers and ales.
Before dinner, take a stroll around Sevierville’s lovingly restored downtown. Seasons 101 is a neighbor to the elegant, red-brick Sevier County Courthouse, built in 1895. A walk here brings you face to face with Sevierville native Dolly Parton, in the form of a sweet statue on the courthouse grounds!
