Every one of the sides looks so good and fresh that I wanted to get each one of them just to try it! The fish was cooked perfectly and was nice and tender. The added little muffin I didn't expect was a nice touch and delicious. The collard greens were SO GOOD. I'd get them again. So flavorful and cooked well. The beets were fresh and the goat cheese carried so much flavor. For the desserts, we got the carrot cake with pecans and chocolate cheesecake. Both were soooo good. I would get both of them again, especially the carrot cake which was so warm and moist. And the candied pecans were such a nice complement to the cake - not too sweet at all. The ambience is super nice and fresh, and our server was so sweet and engaging. The hostess as well. Everybody there was so nice and welcoming. They validate parking if you park in the garage nearby!

We came for brunch with reservations and already had a few things picked out from the online menu,…read moreso finding out the in person menu was different and missing items like the deviled eggs and chicken wings with mole definitely started things off with a little disappointment. The server did speak to management about it and they said it would be updated online. We got over it (not really) and ordered the Velvet Vines, the Frazier Fashioned, and the beignets, and honestly somewhere between the first sip and that lime curd, my mood changed quickly. That lime curd was delicious and easily one of my favorite parts. The drinks were strong, flavorful, and made well. Then came the pork belly fried rice and the dime piece (interesting name ;) ) burger with hash potatoes, and everything hit just right. The cabbage in the rice added so much flavor, the pork belly was soft and clean tasting, and the burger was cooked perfectly. By the end of it, I was already thinking that if I lived closer, I would definitely come back.

I had 2! for dinner we had the spinach dip and steak nachos from the appetizer sections. The balsamic glaze on the nachos was my favorite part, just the right amount of tangy with savory.

My wife and I tend to share an appetizer and a main most times when we dine out. We started out with the stuffed piquillo peppers and they did not disappoint! If you are a fan of goat cheese you will love these too. The sweetness of the pepper with the tang of balsamic coupled with the smooth taste of the goat cheese is almost to die for! We then shared the Pimento burger with fries and those too were outstanding! The burger is not overwhelmingly big, but big enough for two to share. The fries were absolutely delish! The service was good as well. I don't remember anything over-the-top outstanding but these days, decent service might actually qualify as over-the-top relative to what you see at most establishments! (so sad) Definitely worth a try if you are in the Chattanooga area.

I am reluctant to leave this review because I find it is just a hidden charm that people don't know about yet and I hate for it to get too too busy, but I also want to see them succeed with these Sunday branches because they're so wonderful. Our waitress, Miranda always comes with a smile and pleasant feedback on our food orders like what we might like or not so we really appreciate that.

This restaurant is located in the Chatanooga Choo Choo train station building. The entrance is in the front, altough you might be able to enter from inside the station. I have been in the area numerous times and this is the first time I had dinner in this area. This was a late dinner, so we focused on sharing a few plates over a full meal. I did not write down the type of oysters on the menu that day, but got one of each of the rotating oysters. The poke was the star. Very nicely prepared with a wide variety of vegetables to complement the fish and rice. The kale was my least favorite, but the way they prepared it added to the poke. After trying different things individually, we mixed it into the biggest mess. She had the elderflower sour, which was a nice blend of sweet and sour, with cucumbers to offset some of the sweet. I usually get a old fashioned, but decided to get the Road Less Traveled, which was similar to my norm, but with a blackberry twist. I would definitely visit again, given the chance. Solid restaurant.

I made reservations about a week in advance (highly recommend), and even arriving a few minutes early at 5:00 pm, the place was already buzzing. The hostess greeted us immediately and had us seated right away. Our server was on it from the start: waters filled, drink orders taken quickly, and excellent guidance on appetizers. We went with the tomato pie, which sounds simple... but don't be fooled. The flavors are anything but basic. This is not an appetizer you politely share and move on from. It's plenty for four people, though you may find yourself quietly plotting how to secure the last bite. For our mains, we shared the warm beet salad and the beef picanha. The salad had such a great flavor pairing that even my husband, who is not a beet fan, loved it (a true culinary miracle). The picanha was incredibly flavorful and may very well be the best thing on the menu... except for the mashed potatoes. Honestly, I would go back just to order my own bowl of those mashed potatoes and call it dinner. Amazing service, outstanding food, and a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back very soon.

Super friendly and when I told her the roll was amazing she brought out some JAM for the roll. And it was magical. My taste buds were throwing a party. The bacon-wrapped quails. Perfect. Can't complain. Cozy little ambiance that makes it perfect for a date or catching up with your bestie or just existing while eating great food. My only tiny complaint? I wish they opened in the morning so I could get one of those rolls for breakfast

The reviews looked well, so we went hungry and excited. The restaurant is gorgeous, loved the view of the restaurant as I ate on the wall of booths.

We ordered the veggie pizza (great flavor, slimy texture from too many mushrooms etc 4/5) the ceasar salad (started with some finesse 4/5) and the jerk cauliflower(5/5). The only item we were disappointed in was the wings (1/5). Now let me explain. Wooden city reads as a smart modern, quality of food type of location. The wings were great values finest: and thus were huuuuge and unappetizing. Yall pull up, just don't get the wings lol

Decided on this thanks to Yelp reviews. Easy, inexpensive parking just down from restaurant. Seated promptly. Not crowded, plenty of lighting; seated in a spacious booth. Server brought drink orders quickly, and they never went dry. (Pet peeve) Started with the infamous bacon wrapped dates, burnt Brussel sprouts and fried calamari - complete with pieces of fried okra and jalapeno. We could have/should have stopped here. OMG! Huge portions and delightful taste! Ask for the garlic aioli. Our server remembered it when we were almost finished, and it would have been divine with the Brussel sprouts. Finished off with the French dip, which again, was large enough for 2. Made sure to add the mushrooms and onions. Loved the thin French fries, which I haven't had in years. Great service, great food - would totally return.

Vibe is polished but relaxed, food is thoughtful without trying too hard, and everything hits exactly where it should.
