We had just stumbled into town for the races and found this restaurant at our hotel. We figured we would pop in for a drink after a long day on the road. When we got there, we were nicely surprised that there was a live jazz band playing! We ended up staying until the end of their gig. The environment is like a welcoming old-timey bar/restaurant. Everyone was polite and we were served well. Food and drinks were great. We also returned for breakfast and were not disappointed. The biscuits are some of the best!

OK, this is one of the nicest places in town and worth the trip. The bar has everything you could ask for and the menu, while limited, is one of those where everything on it is done excellently. It's dark and woody. Only things missing are a smoky poker table and some stiff-ass Brits and this place would be the snootiest good ol' boys club around. It's Country Clubesque. Or ish. Anyway, despite that I come for the food and the laid back atmosphere. The collard greens here are hands-down the best I've ever had! I've tried several experiments at home to replicate them and have come to the conclusion that the chef's secret ingredients must include some combination of proprietary imported balsamic vinegar, heirloom greens, and voodoo. I think they are usually the side on a NY/KC strip steak but you can get them a'la carte too. And you should. It's a great place to meet for a drink, if you're staying in the Carnegie Hotel, you could get over-served and walk to your room. And you should! It's on the pricey side for Johnson City, but really the quality of food here is tops.

We came here because we stayed at the Carnegie Hotel and didn't feel like aimlessly wondering the town after a long day of driving. I had the deconstructed Wellington, come on the name of the place is Wellington's. We didn't get the bread until 3 seconds before our food arrived, the herb garlic butter for the bread was good but i felt like one second are talking and the next piles of food are being shoved on the table. The stake was cooked to medium that I prefer and seasoned well. The puff pastry served with the meat tasted like Pillsbury that sat in the fridge to long and I have no idea what the gooey mess inside of it was, The corn and green beans served with it where fresh but just covered in old bay seasoning, too much seasoning for me. not worth the 30 dollars I paid for a "deconstructed Wellington". The decor was amazing I loved the horse shoe booth for two. If your in the area and want to see some great decor and a nice atmosphere stop in for a drink but i would not recommend the over priced "wellington".

Omg the seared salmon is ridiculous along with the spicy green beans.. so good that I got seconds later in the evening! Gotta try it...I haven't had anything else but the salmon is worth the trip.

The one thing this place has going for it is its decor. There's no place like it in the area and for that it gets three stars. The food on the other hand could be found in numerous places in the area: O'Charley's, Cheddars, Chilis...the list goes on and on. In fact, Cheddars' monte cristo is much better.

Went here for Sunday Brunch on Mothers Day. The restaurant was slow, not surprising after our experience. Service was horrible, food was cold and the Brunch was ridiculously priced. Oh, 19% gratuity is automatically included. We were a party of two and there was NO service. Never agian.

Pleasant hotel and restaurant. Also called the Carnegie Hotel. Hotel is a grand old dame with lots of wood paneling and old style atmosphere and charm. Service pleasant, room fine, clean, well laid out. Health club is small but ok. Pool outdoors and closes Labor Day alas. Across the street from the ETSU campus with a walkway over the busy highway. Restaurant also stately, service good. Excellent choice of beer, limited wines. Standard fare with no surprises. Burgers and fries fine. Bananas foster dessert was tasty and flamboyantly prepared at the table. Breakfast the next day, a la carte, was fine but not fancy. Good choices on the menu. A very pleasant stay.

Great atmosphere in a very nice building. Has a reputation of being expensive (one local said he couldn't afford to eat there because a slice of bacon costs $7). I had a burger for lunch and it was $9. The service is great, the food tastes good and the ketchup was served in a silver gravy boat.

Traveling with kids, so it was great that they have chicken fingers, must ask cause they are not on the menu. Husband and I ordered a selection of appetizers rather than pricy entrees. Shrimp and grits, crab cakes, fried green tomatoes. All were good, although not amazing. Service was EXCELLENT AND FAST which was a plus after driving all day! Family of 4, $90, no drinks ,coffee with Frangelico for dessert. A nice choice if you are staying here and don't want another outing in the car!

We ordered a room service from Wellington's during our stay at Carnegie Hotel and Spa. Green fried tomatoes did not taste bad. However, they were on a mushy side. Ribbons of country ham added nothing to this appetiser. Burger was nice and big enough to split it into two portions and feed our children. The 4oz fillet mignon was all right. Green beans were firm to bite. Mashed potatoes were somewhat clumpy. NY strip with pepper sauce and grits were all right as well. The pepper sauce livened up the dish. Bread and butter were great.

Terribly understaffed. Tried to get breakfast at 9am on a Saturday morning. Was told there was only one server for about 15-20 people and that it would only be 5 minutes wait. 20 minutes later I gave up on trying to eat here. Hire more servers!!

Food bad, service bad. Avoid at all cost. JC has plenty of great restaurants. Try the Battery just down the road, or Ruby Tuesday or Mcd's
