I was alone and asked for a quiet table in the back - I looked at the patio which was really nice and spacious, but it was about 95 degrees so I chose to sit inside due to that. I was seated at a nice booth alone with tons of space and a friendly waitress came to explain the menu to me and take my order. I had a mocktail made that was very good - and they only charged $5 for all mocktails which I appreciate. As a non-drinker it irritates me to pay $13-18 for juice that doesn't even have alcohol. I chose the house salad and it was by far the best I've ever had. Loaded with fresh veggies, delicious dressing, cheese and some breadcrumbs I think. Great size and portion for the price and fabulous combination of items. I chose the salmon with peaches and cream couscous. The salmon itself was wonderful - but that couscous was so good, I could not stop eating it. It had corn and fresh peaches and it was the perfect combination of salty and sweet. For dessert - I went with the Chocolate Bomb.com but found it to be wayyyyy too salty with the toffee, salt, and combo. I wish I'd gotten their famous cheesecake but, next time! Loved everything about this spot. Very elegant and no portion of my food wasn't clearly well planned and carefully prepared. Highly, highly recommend. Located on a fabulous street near many other charming shops.

The ambiance, especially the bar area is beautiful and can feel somewhere between an elevated casual to mid-high end experience. Some things I'd like to see happen here: (1) a more true and robust brunch menu and please get an espresso machine, (2) brunch could use some live music and/or a dj (like a toned-down Stateside Kitchen vibe or a jazz trio--something--anything). The food is so good here, there is no reason this place shouldn't be absolutely packed on a Sunday.

The Fettuccine Rocco--no spice and equally delicious! The Fish 'n Chips tastes as good as my favorite restaurant on the coast in San Francisco (known for theirs). We've had several of the burgers and none have disappointed...but the TN Whiskey Glazed burger is to die for! *Chefs kiss* My least favorite dish so far, has been the Maui Chicken. It was missing something...needed a sauce, pineapple, or something. For desserts, if you're a chocolate lover, you must try the creamy Lava Cake--and then there's the decadent Crème Brûlée...(Wow!) The atmosphere here is relaxed and family-friendly. We've had the best servers! Attentive and hospitable. All in all, we love our gem here in Ooltewah so if you're just passing through, or live further in the city, it'll be well worth your drive. Give the Local Goat a try!

Today, we literally had a small ant crawling on a toast which we quickly pointed out to the waitress after she set the food down- and she removed the toast from the table. They did remove the $3 for the order of toast - but ew and they might be challenged with kitchen cleanliness now perhaps. The weird last point is that our bill was $89 - we gave the waitress $120 in cash and asked for $10 in return (equating to a 23% tip but giving her easy math and quick cash-out). She brought back $9. We didn't say anything of course. Will we return soon? Probably not honestly.

The patio was really nice at the time we were seated, it was warm outside but the sun was beginning to set. We were greeted right away by our server, Joseph. We ordered lettuce wraps as an appetizer, along with a draft beer for my boyfriend and a nonalcoholic beer for myself as I'm pregnant. Food and drinks came out very quickly and beverages were ice cold. We ordered the steakhouse burger for my boyfriend, the mahi bowl for myself and they were both completely amazing. I also ordered a Caesar salad which was also delicings. Best burger I've ever tried and my mahi bowl was full of so many different flavors. What I really want to stress is that our server, Joseph, was the best server I think I've ever had in my 43 years of living. Having been a server/bartender myself for 20 years, I appreciate great service. He was attentive but not smothering, accommodating, professional, and prompt. We will be back and we'll be asking for Joseph. I couldn't have asked for a better night.

Took the wife and mother in law out for a change of scenery to the wonderful place called…read moreChattanooga. Wound up at the aquarium for a couple hours and ended up hungry at the very end of it. Not far from where we were parked we found the Wooden City conveniently across from it all (dare I say a brisk walk's worth) with Mellow Mushroom and Ben & Jerry's establishments at both corners. We were given the options of staying inside or being placed outside and we chose (biased a lil) the opportunity of eating outside. We were taken care of accordingly by Jonathan, who is a perfect example of someone that makes tourism worth it, we chitchatted back-and-forth and came across some great options on our appetizers and drinks. While we waited for drinks, we were served water with ice as the weather outside was pleasant but a little too hot for the afternoon... When the appetizers arrived, we were greeted by not only demonstration, but taste above what I've had as of recent. Wife enjoyed the freshness of the tomatoes and cheese whilst I was mesmerized by how subtle and uber smooth my Old Fashioned was. We unwinded and talked about our day here in this city and then our next meal plates arrived. I had the very unique and well presented Beet Ravioli and the wife had the exquisite Spicy Lamb Rigatoni. Immediate upon arrival to our table my wife and I exchanged a bite of each other's plates to give a chance for our taste pallets to experience one another. The Beet Ravioli took back my wife to a time where she made something of similar taste and the Rigatoni took me back to California when I tasted something familiar then. Towards the end, I saved the location at the name of the restaurant, as I would like a near future to come back and visit with more time. Jonathan was an absolute help for our satisfaction in Chattanooga and we are thankful.

I was staying at Hotel Clemons and it was an easy walk from the hotel. We started with the pork belly appetizer, had the salmon for dinner, and ordered a couple of cocktails. Everything was excellent. The service was just as good as the food. Kate took great care of us and made the experience feel warm and welcoming from start to finish. The vibe is what I loved most. It feels elevated without being pretentious. Think fine dining quality food with a relaxed atmosphere where you can actually enjoy yourself and have a conversation. If you're visiting Chattanooga and looking for a nice dinner spot, I'd definitely recommend adding this to your list. Next time I'm in town, I'll be back to try more of the menu.

This is an open floor plan, modern decor restaurant complete with a lengthy bar area. It is very open and modern except for the kitchen, which remains partially visible through windows from the main dining area. It was a Wednesday night and was surprisingly slow at 6:30, in terms of the crowd, or lack thereof, with only three other tables occupied during our visit. Our server, Jonathon, was very polite, attentive, and professional. Especially in contrast to my observation of the other server, whom I observed going through the motions of waiting in tables like a bored veteran server who might have been half drunk. Just an observation, but he kind of had our attention while serving a nearby table. He clearly knew what he was doing and mostly pulled off a good job, it was mostly timing and tone of voice and the way he was gliding across the room. Good for that guy. It was pasta night and that meant pasta specials, so I figured this was one of those, "our best game" dishes and ordered the bolognese with rigatoni. I also ordered the Appalachian Salad, which was spinach, radicchio, blue cheese, pine nuts, 5 oz beef tenderloin tip, red wine vinaigrette. I asked for medium rare and got well done. But both were fantastic. I did not think the bolognese would satisfy my appetite, it was filling, but I did t want to be hungry an hour later and the steak with salad deliciously helped. My wife had the herb crusted salmon, chive-pepper-corn couscous ragout, fried basil. And there was a lot of couscous, probably a cup and a half if not two cups. This too was delicious. I was intrigued by one menu item we did not try for $25 as an appetizer, deep fried egg yolks with crème fraiche and caviar. I know to get that, the yolks must be frozen, then breaded and fried to be crisp on the outside but runny yolk inside. I couldn't interest my wife in this adventure, but someone else try them and let us know? Staff were all very hospitable. Free valet parking for a couple of hours, right at the entrance in fact. Value was reasonable and good quality, quantity and flavors were very good. It didn't blow us away, but we were not disappointed. The only crazy thing was $14 for a small pour on a glass of Chardonnay, but that's the way it goes for dining out nowadays. This was a decent choice for our dinner out while visiting Chattanooga. I will say, Jonathon, our waiter, did a five star job.

The soundtrack was also an unexpected mix of religious Christmas and opera music that overpowered the room. Much too loud. That said, the food itself delivered.

The menu could use another substantial vegetarian dish with protein, but overall the meal was enjoyable and worthy of a return visit. Half off wine bottles Wednesday was an unexpected bonus!
