The view is spectacular, but the service and food left much to be desired…read more We ordered the cornbread from the appetizer menu and it arrived in a hot cast iron pan with melted butter on top... looked great. It had obviously been reheated in the pan as the bread was cold from the middle 1/3 to the center. My wife's chicken Caesar salad was also disappointing. The pork I had was actually very good. Unfortunately, the service from our waitress was about as weak as it could be. Inattentive and barely responsive. Even forgot to call for the golf cart we request to head back to the hotel.

Then, Victoria (primarily) did a fine job keeping up with our large group. It had gotten dark so didn't get full advantage of the nice view but the rustic feel inside was appropriate. I started with the tomato soup which had an interesting dollop of crab meat in the middle to jazz it up. Some got the bacon instead as first course & it was good (sans the jalapeño for me). My main course choice was the broiled snapper with mashed sweet potatoes & beans. Very tasty (though the sides might have been warmer). To close, a very nice pecan pie tartlet, I'll call it with ample whipped cream - right up my alley!

After a lovely celebratory meal, I can absolutely see why! Reservations are recommended, though I'm sure you'd be able to walk in and grab a table. We were seated in the main dining room, which is bright and upscale without being stuffy. If you're wondering about the dress code, this is a very casual spot. Shorts and polos for men would be absolutely fine, and a top with jeans or even shorts would be just fine for women too. That said, you can totally dress up if you would like! The menu is simple, with classic dishes prepared expertly. We started with some of their house bread, which is served warm with whipped butter. Yum! We also got an order of the chopped romaine salad, which was served with fresh garden tomatoes. For entrees, my husband ordered their signature dish: the "Slash and Burn" catfish. It's fried in a seasoned batter, and served whole with some fun garnishes. The fish itself was flaky and cooked to perfection. I ordered the 9 oz. filet, which was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Seriously, this was one of the best steaks I've had in a hot minute! For sides, we shared the garlic mashed potatoes and some more better boy tomatoes. You do get a free dessert on your birthday, and my husband chose their ice cream sundae. If this wasn't the best restaurant sundae ... the ice cream itself tasted housemade, and when we asked our server if it was, she said it's not, but it is a special brand from Belgium. Wow!

For appetizers, we had the Spicy Feta Dip with warm, soft bread, and Fried Mushrooms topped with White Truffle Oil and served with Horseradish Sauce. Absolutely amazing!!!! For my entrée, I went with their signature dish... the Slash and Burn Catfish. WOW... crazy good! Great flavor and fried to perfection. You actually use a spoon to scrape the meat off the fish. This is a must-have dish! Others in our group that weren't feeling as adventurous enjoyed the Chicken Piccata, Grilled Shrimp, Sautéed Triggerfish, and steak, all were excellent. Pro tip: Save room for dessert!! We got the Strawberry Shortcake, which is a MUST HAVE, and the Amaretto Brownie, which was pretty great too! The service was amazing and very attentive throughout the meal. So, if you live in the Chattanooga area or are just visiting, what are you waiting for? This is a must-try place!

Great drinks and service, but beware the checkout screen…read more ​The drinks and service at Unknown Caller are genuinely fantastic. I highly recommend the "Bartender's Choice" cocktail option--the staff is incredibly skilled, and the drinks they crafted were awesome. ​However, management needs to fix their highly deceptive checkout flow. The bar chooses not to bake Tennessee's mandatory 15% Liquor-by-the-Drink tax into their menu prices. When the bartender flips the POS tablet to pay, the system completely hides the itemized receipt. It jumps straight to a final total that includes a combined 24.25% in state and liquor taxes. ​To make matters worse, the screen presents ridiculous suggested tip options of 20%, 30%, and 40%--which are calculated on top of that heavily taxed final total rather than the subtotal. If you just tap a prompt, you end up aggressively tipping on hidden taxes. ​Come for the excellent cocktails and great bartenders, but ignore the suggested buttons and manually calculate your tip based on the actual menu price of your drinks.

I recently received Yelp Elite status. In truth, I remain somewhat unsure what to make of that…read moredistinction. Regardless, I owe this honor to a fellow Elite member who took an interest in my often stream-of-consciousness reviews, much like this one. Of course, I confess that I have never needed anyone's permission to offer my opinion. Opinions are like certain body parts: everybody has one. Although I certainly do not pretend to be a professional food critic, it seems altogether fitting and proper that one of my first reviews after receiving that designation should be about a place that is difficult to categorize and even more difficult to forget. La Cabriole has been quietly operating since 1982, when I was in the seventh grade. Somehow, despite having lived in the Chattanooga area from birth until 1997, I never discovered it. After nearly 25 years away, I returned in 2021 and finally found my way to La Cabriole in 2025. Although the Chattanooga dining scene has evolved considerably over the years, the city has not always been known for its international cuisine. French restaurants, bakeries, and similar ventures have come and gone. The owner at La Cabriole even remembered one and actually knew the manager at Paris Cafe, or some such French name, a place that I thought used to be on Market Street. The latest versions are Calliope Restaurant & Bar and Camila Bistro. Meanwhile, La Cabriole appears to have carried on quietly in the background, sustained by a modest but loyal word-of-mouth following. The restaurant is located on the northwest side of Lookout Mountain, at the end of Browns Ferry Road. When we arrived, we were thankful for the signage, as the place is a modest modular-style building with a deck. If I am being honest (#LaReyna), it is not grand or fashionable in the conventional sense. Inside, however, the restaurant has a warm, relaxed character that feels almost like a time capsule: French military uniforms displayed on mannequins, eclectic artwork on the walls, carefully set tables, and an atmosphere that is equal parts country restaurant, curiosity shop, and private dining room. My wife and I were one of only two couples dining there on the evening of our visit. Nearby, the staff was preparing a long table for a larger gathering the following day. The quiet of the room might initially make someone wonder what, exactly, they have wandered into. I want to believe that this uncertainty is part of the experience. Mrs. Geraldine Chardon, the owner and gracious maîtresse de maison, is the principal point of contact for reservations. She is pleasant, thoughtful, and unassuming. She opened the restaurant with her late husband, who was from France and trained as a chef. She came out to speak with us several times during the evening and remembered our telephone conversation when I made the reservation. The meal consisted of seven thoughtfully prepared courses. Each small plate arrived with care and purpose. Nothing felt hurried. Nothing felt careless. I had the duck confit, and my wife ordered the sea bass, if I remember correctly. As I recall, the soup was butternut squash. The chef also came out to ask how we had enjoyed our dinner. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in the experience they were providing. So, what is the verdict? Was it the single greatest meal I have ever eaten? I truly feel that is not really the point. The food was good, hot, flavorful, and objectively well prepared. Still, La Cabriole is greater than any individual dish. Its appeal lies in the totality of its parts: the unexpected location, the intimate setting, the quirky décor, the warmth of the service, the deliberate pacing of the meal, and the sense that the restaurant endures because, without sounding too sappy, Mrs. Chardon still seems to love what it represents. La Cabriole offers something increasingly rare: an experience with a distinct personality. It is the textbook definition of a curated experience. It feels personal. La Cabriole is openly eccentric, quietly charming, and entirely its own thing. In the end, this may be less of a conventional restaurant review than an overly nostalgic love letter to an unusual moment in time. Paraphrasing William Faulkner's famous line about the South: "Tell me about La Cabriole. What's it like there? What do they do there? Why does it continue to exist at all?" After spending an evening there, I think I finally understand.

The service was great as the staff were very visible, friendly and attentive…read more The food started okay with the first 2 courses, but the main course was not well. The steak was overcooked and tough covered in a salty gravy. The Lobster was literally served almost raw. When I pulled it from the brown shell it was translucent so we stayed away from consuming the lobster. There were 2 other tables stating the same. The bread was not fresh and didn't come with butter. We were not able to finish the main course and elected to pay and leave early. Again, it's not the service that was an issue.
