Vidl - West Knoxville

I had been worried that my non-vegetarian friends would not be thrilled with this place or that it might feel pretentious, but it was delightful. It is very low key- you order at counter, find your own seat, bus your own dishes. Everything we had off the menu was great and enough for a meal when you combine a couple items. The avocado toast plus soup or a burger with sides, etc. The chickpea pot pie was filling and delicious and even the cookies were good. We were able to put several tables together for our large group and it wasn't a problem at all. Quick service and the parking is free just down the road under the highway bridge.

Sampled menu. It's great. Well seasoned and cooked. Creative options.

My daughter and her husband are vegans. Our Christmas meal was from here. Windy added a Fields Roast.,can it be better than perfect and excellent. I look forward to experiencing this amazing food again.

Menu was diverse and healthy. The ambience was wonderful. The meal was different from the normal choices, and I enjoyed it. There was not a rush/urge to finish, which is always nice.First restaurant that I have encountered with mandatory 20% charge on the cost for a one person order. I was looking for the choose your tip screen, but it was not an option when the screen was turned back to me just sign.I ordered a separate glass of wine from the group that ordered a bottle, and my glass was so tiny. It was funny to see the just opened bottle after she poured my glass. It sent the message of order a bottle here. Plan accordingly.

I tried out Vidl today with my kids and my five year old daughter ordered the cobb salad and found a bug in the salad and obviously didn’t finish eating it, she had ate less than half. The restaurant did not offer to get her a new salad or refund the price. We were excited to try out this restaurant but considering our experience and the cost, we wouldn’t go back.
