I had the Blackened Fish tacos which were delicious with the sauce and slaw. My husband had the Rib Eye Cheesesteak with a side of fried Okra. He said it was delicious.

I had a margarita and my daughter had the strawberry lemonade with vodka, the drinks were also great. Plus, our server Hudson, was very attentive.

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 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!

We sat outside with a great view of the water. It was hot but felt great on the patio with the shade and ceiling fans. Our server was great. We started with the bread and oil appetizer as well as the onion rings. Both were good but the onion rings were delicious. The portion could have probably served 3-4. The batter was light and they were not greasy at all. The drinks were made well. I had a Kentucky Bird and my wife had the Pain Killer. We were kind of full after the apps so we didn't order an entree. However, we did try the Apple Pecan Bread Pudding in a bourbon sauce and with vanilla ice cream. It was delicious! Overall, the atmosphere, service and food were outstanding. We will be back and I recommend trying when in Chattanooga.

The staff was incredibly friendly, especially my waitress, Sarah. She was so kind and made me feel completely comfortable, which meant a lot to me as someone eating alone for the first time. She truly made the whole experience that much better! And the food... WOW. Every bite was packed with flavor, and I absolutely chowed down The fries were perfect, and I loved the Cajun seasoning on them. The smash burger was delicious and cooked perfectly -- although it was definitely a little messy, so consider yourself warned haha. The mozzarella sticks had an AMAZING cheese pull, and the sauce was absolutely divine. And then there was dessert. Let's just say it was probably meant to feed two people... but I ate the entire thing by myself because it was THAT good. Overall, I couldn't have picked a better restaurant for my first night and my first solo dining experience. Great food, wonderful staff, and such a comfortable atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!
