Ate here tonight 10/25/20. I had the ribeye and asparagus while my wife had the spinach salad, lobster bisque and the crab cakes. Mine was excellent but everything she had was a culinary experience, top notch!! Then we had the donuts for dessert which we absolutely loved, sweet and doughy with maple. Our server, Dawn was so good, she was friendly, explained the menu items to a tee and never missed a beat. Whenever we end up in Chattanooga we will definitely be asking to sit in Daw's section, what a great dinner we had tonight!!! read more

Recently went back to Hennen's on a date and we had a wonderful time despite some minor qualms. We started our night with the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake which, not being a big seafood lover, I didn't know if it was great or just good. Either way, I didn't feel like it was worth the price tag. My date had ordered the soup of the day, which had a lot of Spanish spices and a slight kick. I remember it being pretty good. For entrees, I got the Delmonico Ribeye and she the Stone Seared Salmon. Both were cooked to perfection and delicious. The ribeye was nice and tender, though I would recommend the house filet over it anyday. The salmon, I was told, was nice and flakey and paired very well with the pomegranate reduction. (I will say though that the pomegranate reduction did not pair too well with just the vegetables so be sure to eat the dish as a whole or else you end up with sweet string beans.) We ended the night with the Warm Chocolate Cake which ended up being just alright for me. While it tasted good, the look of it reminded me of those microwave-brownie-in-a-mug recipes, which was pretty off-putting. The service is amazing here although we did run into some trouble this time. Our server, Kate, was absolutely wonderful, being extremely polite and attentive, stopping by multiple times to fill our drinks and to make sure everything was alright. The only real complaint of the night was when an older male server just plopped the bowl of soup onto our table without acknowledging us and kind of just used it to push other plates out of the way until the bowl was at the center of the table instead of simply asking who it was for and placing it down like a normal human being. My date and I just kind of stared at him and each other while this happened. Outside of that very odd interaction, we had a wonderful evening. read more

Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. Ordered almost every appetizer in our group of 12. Lovely meal and spirited service too. Centrally located in Chattanooga. You can walk to your hotel. This was a win. Great interiors, great group dining and menu variety. Upbeat, lit well and a place to return. And I hope to again and again. They have a good thing going here. Words out! Check this place out! read more

Coming into Chatt on business, we were looking for a great place for an upscale lunch environment and Hennen's fit the bill. We walked right in with no wait and Ally had the most tasty appetizers (Artichoke and crab dip with pita and Southside shrimp) and a crisp Kim Crawford pinot grigio on the table within minutes. The salmon and scallops did not disappoint and the grilled chicken sandwidish satisfied. All in all, we enjoyed a great meal and were finished within the hour. ---- updated 4/10/19 Once again we were delighted in the food and the service at our favorite upscale restaurant in Chattanooga. We started with a table for 3 and had to increase it to a table for 5 before the entrees arrived. Riley didn't miss a beat. We were moved to a bigger table with a quick nod and smile. Absolutely amazing service!!!! Never disappointed whatsoever! read more

Hennen's...is there a negative to be said about this restaurant?!?? If there is, I sure haven't found it in the 15-20 years I have been dinning here. Beautiful, upscale, yet laid back and relaxing. Top notch staff serving some of the best food you will find anywhere. Had dinner with four family members so was able to get the review of three different dishes. (Two of us had the same) I had the catch of the day which was the red snapper. You have your choice of four or five preparations, all sounded amazing but I love spice so I went with the Caribbean Blackened preparation which of course included blackened seasoning fish over a bed of rice with black beans and an incredibly fresh and addictive pineapple, mango salsa. The fish was cooked to absolute perfection! Flakey, moist and delicious! I know this sounds strange to have in a steak house, but my wife had the meatloaf...trust me this is NOT your mother's meatloaf (which I love by the way) but it is the equal to anything else on their menu. Truffles take it to an entirely new level! My brother in law had the 16 Oz Delmonico Ribeye which I was able to sample and he and I agreed was one of the finest steaks we have ever had. Again, perfectly seasoned as well as cooked. Drinks, I HIGHLY recommend their Old Fashioned Select . I had to have two of them, they were fantastic! My wife had the Par 5 which she loved. Parking is a breeze as they have a parking garage connected to the rear of the restaurant that is free so long as you have them validate your ticket, which they are happy to do. Normally I take a lot of pics but this was so good and I was so excited that I was half way through the meal before I realized that I have never reviewed this restaurant. read more

This place has some really good food. I had their special of the night, which was a petite filet and a grilled lobster with herb butter. It was very nice, excellently cooked. The others had a wonderful lobster bisque, a very large Crabcake with hollandaise sauce, the truffle meatloaf, and the chipotle Mac and cheese. All were quite delicious. The food is a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars. The ambiance and decor, however, need a massive overhaul. The booths look like they haven't been replaced in decades. There are ceiling tiles instead of a nice plaster of some variety, and the lightning is quite bright for dinnertime. No interesting art or inviting details. The prices are quite high, which wouldn't be an issue if they improved the interior. The service wasn't bad, but it wasn't incredible either. All in all this place could be so much more if they invested some money in it. Would have given 3.5 stars if I could. read more

First visit to Hennen's on a Sunday evening was fantastic! A Steakhouse upscale atmosphere with comfortable spacious seating. Our waiter "Brett" was super professional, well versed on the menu, and attentive. Our drinks and appetizers were served timely. Entrees of Steak and Salmon were cooked to perfection and well seasoned. We will recommend and return very soon! read more

2 stars is bc service was decent. But if for the food; I'd give it 1 star. And that's bc who doesn't wanna eat?! So yes, 1 star bc the restaurant has food.. and another star, bc the service is decent. And although I'm a vegetarian at a steak and seafood spot, I brought a steak and seafood lover.. and it all (Caesar salad, veggie roasted hummus, cheese tortellini pasta, citrus crusted rainbow trout, and even the bread) was dissatisfying. I wanted to like it, I really did. But I didn't. Then when the waiter asked if I liked it and I said "eh, not really" I felt as if I offended her. Are diners suppose to lie? I wasn't asking for a free meal, just answering truthfully. I did send back the Caesar bc it was BAD, but then when I tasted the hummus, I didn't eat it, but didn't bother sending it back bc it is what it is. It is food that's being "wasted" on my behalf.. I'll happily pay my dues. But, ugh. Nothing like a dissatisfying meal. One good thing is if you're trying to stay low on your salt intake, which is ultimately a great thing #healthiswealth.. you can totally dine here. Nothing had flavor (salt or seasonings). Silver lining :) Happy Dining Yelpers ! read more

Carlo is the best!!! When in Chattanooga this is a must stop and ask for Carlo! He is proficient and kind.

I had a great dinner at Hennen's. It's located a block from the aquarium. I enjoyed the nightly fish special, halibut over red pepper grits with spinach, and finished my meal with a warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. The fish was flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the dessert was not big enough to make me feel the lest bit guilty about eating it despite it's decadence. Service was great and if I was ever in town again, I would gladly go back here. read more

Party of 8 kids and 3 adults here. We went to Agave & Rye first. No availability but the hostess recommended Hennen's. Tacos + Tequila to Lobster, Filets and Filthy Martinis. Hennen's did not have the average table available for a party of 11 so they sat us in their private dining space. Our waitress, Sarah, was on point, personable and amazing. Food was phenomenal. Dirty martini was filthy and fantastic. Great service. read more

My husband and I went here for our anniversary dinner and there were some positives and some negatives. First off we had 9:00 reservations, and arrived at 8:55. The host told us we had to wait closer to 9:00 to be seated...ok?? So we sat and at exactly 9:00 he walked us to our table. Just thought it a bit strange, as there didn't seem to be anything that would have prevented us to have been seated when we got there, it wasn't busy. Our server was Brad, and let me say he was excellent. Very friendly and attentive, wished us a happy anniversary, and he was knowledgeable about the menu. 5 stars for Brad! Our drinks were fine, my blucumber cocktail was tasty. We ordered the featured soup as an appetizer which was their "famous" lobster bisque. Presentation was beautiful but my husband hit the nail on the head with the flavor...very similar to eating a bowl of hot mayonnaise. Seriously. No chunks of lobster to speak of and tasted like some fishy Hellman's. Couldn't stomach it and felt pretty nauseated. The steaks we ordered were gorgeous cuts of meat cooked to perfection. So so tender. The only thing lacking was flavor. They tasted like they hadn't been seasoned at all, which was pretty disappointing. The shrimp kabob and crab cakes were delish! And the sides were yummy too. Overall it was a good experience but there was room for improvement. read more

I kick myself every time I order a steak at a restaurant like this. Tonight I ordered the Delmonico Ribeye...medium rare. The steak came out under cooked, tough, and lacked seasoning. So disappointing. read more

Great place with wonderful steaks and a romantic vibe. Recommend highly for special occasions as it is pricey but worth every penny.

Great evening at Hennen's! The food was incredible with something for each of us (8), drinks were great. We had a small nook for our group and the ambiance was fenomenal! Can't say enough about the service; which was truly remarkable, never missing a beat and making knowledgeable recommendations on both entrees and drinks. Must do over!!!! read more

Big step backward in my experiences here. Long wait for food. Very long wait to the point I was about to ask server for my check when the food finally arrived. Ribeye and spinach unseasoned. Not under but un. Very disappointing. Bar staff helpful and timely with drinks. But kitchen really let them down. read more

A splurge-worthy spot for date night! We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at this Chattanooga steakhouse. I started with my go-to, an old fashioned. I'll say it wasn't even close to my favorite but I made it work. For our appetizer we ordered the smoked salmon dip - dil infused, with crisped flat bread. It was very good. For our main course we doubled up and both went for the steak filet topped with boursin cheese. It was to die for. Every single bite was just heaven in your mouth. This dish topped everything we ate on our vacation to Chattanooga. It was so, so good. I rounded it out with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon Finally, we weren't going to stop there. We decided to split the white chocolate and fig preserve bread pudding. It was very good as well. All in all our service was great, great booth seating with a view and fantastic food. What more could you want? read more

Really good steak- my filet was cooked perfectly and delicious. Great cocktails and wine selection at a decent price. Don't love their sides compared to other steakhouses though. Overall good value read more

After being in town for a few days we wanted a nice dinner to close out our trip. We snagged a last minute reservation that seated us 1 hour before the restaurant closed. My husband walks in and is told they can't take us (new employee unfamiliar with how to look up reservations). We get seated by a more experienced host about 10-15 minutes later. The bartender walks over and offered to take drink orders since no one had come to our table. Another 15 minutes go by, no greeting. I used my cell to call the restaurant since the only employees we saw during this time rushed by us. They said they'd have a server come take our orders. Our food comes out and I'm sure they did their best but I was by then so frustrated with so many parts of my experience. My steak hits the table and they server leaves, no one has any silverware. Cmon ppl! This isn't that hard! I mean for somewhere that's Chattanooga's version of Capital Grille I expect employees to give a damn. The bartender really did try to do his part to feel the drinks flowing but that was the only redeeming factor for dinner. The food was ok, didn't even bother getting a to go box. What a waste of ambience. read more

Great steaks, great sides and the pear blue cheese flatbread is a must. Ask for Dawn.... Never had a better server. Son loved his delmonico and whipped mash potatoes. I had a New York strip with a couple of scallops on top. I'm a fan,food for price a solid 4...service a 5. read more

Holy cow! My wife and have lived in the SF Bay Area for 35 years so we have had exceptional food, never did we expect something this incredible in Chattanooga. Hennes was everything and more. My wife had the salmon and I had the the scallops. Scallops are a real test of a chef, and I've never had better. Our server Jade was incredible and was very knowledgeable about the best of how I would enjoy them. She knew exactly how my wife's salmon should be prepared to her liking. Service was great, ownership stopped by for feedback and we couldn't thank him enough. If you go to Chattanooga go here, you will not regret it. read more

Let me grade the different aspects this time Parking 5. You can park in the deck and our waiter even asked if we needed our parking validated Drinks. 5. Long wine list but I got a nice Sam Adams winter ale Salad 3.5. Got a Caesar. Lettuce and croutons nice. The dressing was not all that flavorful Salmon 4.5. Salmon cooked perfectly. It had a pomegranate drizzle on the salmon and plate that took away from the dish. It didn't match. The fingerling potatoes and string beans we exceptional Dessert. 9! If you go get the chocolate cake. Best dessert I have had in years. It was sort of like a little lava cake. A little gooey and full of flavor. The vanilla ice cream with it a perfect combination read more

Just popped into this bar for a drink and an appetizer. I ordered the Ahi Tuna salad and was delighted at the presentation and taste of the dish.

I would go out of my way to go back. read more

Dinning on a Tuesday evening. Alfred was our waiter and he did a great job. He gave us plenty of great recommendations. Had a reservation and upon arriving was pleasantly surprised, our table was ready, (was prepared to wait at the bar because we arrived early). I choose their pork chop, with scallops and whipped potatoes. First, I was grateful that it wasn't over seasoned with salt. The flavor was allowed to come through on its own. Also, had rib eye with grilled unions roasted mushrooms and butter blue cheese. Perfectly cooked. Finally, for desert had the cheese cake and that was just perfect with my red wine. We enjoyed the entire experience. Everyone was very attentive, warm and inviting. Will come back because I want to try their cream brûlée. read more

Excellent food and service. Four of us arrived without a reservation and they were so kind to seat us at a booth in the bar area. Appetizers of shrimp cocktail and tuna poke were amazing.

Best steak dinner I've ever had. Period. Bar none. Great place to go for a special event or just for a great steakhouse.

We went for my Birthday last year and it was delicious. The service was friendly and informative. I ordered the filet and it was fantastic, cooked perfectly, tender and juicy. The menu is a la carte, so depending on choices can be expensive. They have a extensive wine menu. We need to go back soon. read more
