Server let us know the kitchen was closing soon, so we put in our order promptly. Food came out HOT and FRESH. Very pleased with our experience. Music was at a moderate comfortable volume. Only thing, this restaurant is pricey. Just be aware. The wood grilled shrimp was worth, maybe, about $16 at best. Overall... well prepared and presented nicely. Service was good and accommodating, even near closing time on a Wednesday. Wednesday, May 20, 2026

Irish Point oysters are absolutely outstanding. From the moment they are served, you can tell they…read moreare fresh and carefully selected. Each oyster has a beautiful deep shell filled with clean, briny liquor that captures the true taste of the ocean. The flavor is perfectly balanced with a crisp saltiness followed by a smooth, slightly sweet finish that makes you want another one immediately. The texture is firm yet delicate, making them incredibly satisfying to eat. Whether enjoyed on their own, with a squeeze of lemon, or a light mignonette, these oysters truly shine. Irish Point oysters deliver a fresh, refined seafood experience and are easily some of the best oysters you can have. Highly recommended.

You're definitely paying for the scenery because the food was underwhelming. We ordered six items,…read moreand three out of the six lacked flavor. The gumbo tasted like canned chili. The stuffed mushrooms did not taste fresh and also lacked flavor. The calamari lacked flavor as well and was a big disappointment. The server was nice and set our expectations, advising that some of the items we ordered were more of an acquired taste, but we were still disappointed. There was a server change at one point, and the new server was not careful when delivering the food and spilled the gumbo upon arrival. Considering the price and value, this place is definitely a one and done.

Regardless that you have allergies you are unable to eat at this location. The waitress didn't check with the kitchen or the manager staff. Jenny wasn't understanding of what was being said.

I hope the health food department sees this.

I cannot believe these are even legally classified as such. The seafood was ok, juicy is for sure but that's cause it's soaked in "butter," which is definitely butter flavored seed oil. The crawfish are served whole, and the cracking process sliced my thumb open. Just inconvenient and unhealthy. The service was ok and friendly. The decor is nice. But this place does not deserve 4 stars.

Great menu, great food, and fair prices. Wait staff was polite, attentive, and food was delivered…read morefast. Three things that detracted from a five star rating. One, the room is an echo chamber. While the management has made efforts to install sound baffles and other acoustic treatments, by the time the lunch crowd had filled the restaurant, our table of four had gotten to the point of shouting to hear each other. More work needs to be done to "quieten the room". Two, the male and female restrooms only allow one person to use them at a time, resulting in at times people standing in line behind the reception desk. And should one of them need some "quality time" in the loo, then others just go waiting. This is an architectural flaw in the plans used to build the facility. And three, there is no obvious way to get a wheelchair into the restaurant as there are steps at the main entrance and no signs directing disabled customer enter through the chained off patio around the corner of the building. I am surprised this passed the ADA compliance part of a building inspection.

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.

Now, the place had more noise than a family reunion after someone mentions politics--two teenage softball teams carrying on, laughing, living large. Hard to fault that. Better than silence so thick you can hear your own regrets. Food showed up quick, which is about all you can ask when you're hungry enough to consider eating the menu. And it was good--honest good. Not "tell your mama about it" good, but solid, dependable, "yep, I'd order that again" good. Prices didn't make you feel like you'd just financed somebody's boat, either. Beer was cold--like it ought to be, like it better be--and the waitress understood to be there exactly when we needed her and vanishing when we didn't. That's an art form. Now the atmosphere... well, it had all the charm of a place that once had big decorating plans and then decided, "Eh, this'll do." A little on the bare side. Felt like a Friday night that never quite got dressed up. But I'll tell you this--I'd go back. And that, right there, is about the highest praise you can give a place without writing a love letter to the chef.
