1705 Prime is the most ambitious venture to date of Rocky Top Hospitality, a group whose other restaurants include Michael Dean's, Bogart's and the Red Room. For all its sumptuousness, however, 1705 Prime is not your father's steakhouse.

1705 Prime's claim to fame is beef -- specifically USDA Prime beef, dry-aged in house. Four or five cuts are typically offered, including a couple you'll not find elsewhere.
