    Absolutely enjoyed the dinner and entertainment. The General Manager was the best. Great entertainer and waitress. Super sweet to my beautiful wife on Mother's Day!

    Food was exceptionally delicious especially for this type of venue. Good times...... JUST DO IT!

    I would give it a 10 star review if I could! The entire experience was amazing! The atmosphere, a 10. The entertainment, a 10. The food, a 10! They even had GF food for my wife. This is a must! If I lived around here it would be a weekly night out!

    Food very good Service outstanding Atmosphere very fun This is a must do for anyone that is into music The live action on stage across a myriad of songs was very impressive and all the staff are very enthusiastic

    So fun to watch and sing along with this hard working servers

    We had fun at the Playlist . The servers were friendly and high energy while they entertained us on the stage. The food was delicious and when not singing, the servers were very attentive.

    great food! great performers! great drinks! definitely worth the cost and "experience"

    Happy anniversary

    2 Star -- My Lawyer Friend and I Are Considering This a Chargeable Offense…read moreIn the legal world, there's a concept called "misrepresentation." My attorney dining companion will tell you it applies here. I've eaten lasagna on three continents. I've never once feared it. Until now. What arrived at our table was, generously speaking, a flat pancake wearing a cheese disguise -- topped with shredded beef that seemed just as confused about its life choices as the chef who plated it. Green? Green. I didn't order a lawn clipping casserole. I ordered lasagna -- the cornerstone dish, the anchor of any Italian menu worth its salt (of which this dish also needed more). Lasagna is not a canvas for creativity. It is a covenant. A sacred agreement between a restaurant and its guests that says: we know what we're doing here. This dish broke that covenant, shredded it, and apparently used it as a garnish. My recommendation? Locate the nearest Italian grandmother. Apologize to her. Take notes. Start over.

Walking in feels less like entering a restaurant and more like being invited over by the Italian neighbor who cooks too much food and doesn't mind if you stay awhile. Cozy rooms, a relaxed buzz of conversation, and a staff that is genuinely friendly and helpful. I went with the build your own pasta. Linguine, bolognese, and meatballs. The waitress suggested getting it baked, which sounded like the culinary equivalent of "trust me on this," so I did. Good call. It came out bubbling, cheesy, and comforting in that perfect pasta way. The bolognese was good but a little polite. It could have used a little more pop. The meatballs, though, clearly had Italian sausage in the mix and they sang. Big flavor and a nice texture. Then dessert showed up. The Italian cake quietly stole the entire meal. Light but firm cake, a beautiful nutty flavor, and just the right amount of crème filling holding it together. One bite in and it was obvious. I came for the pasta. The cake stole the whole show. Quick tip. Be patient when hunting for parking. You might have to park across the bridge and walk a bit. Honestly that walk will burn about 25 of the calories you are about to put right back on. Four stars. Go for the pasta, enjoy the charm, and absolutely do not skip the cake. It's worth the walk.

We went on a Monday night and it was pretty crowded but we were seated quickly. They give each table a big plate of bread with butter, which was delicious and a nice treat. I ordered the arancini to start with. I love arancini, and so many restaurants in Atlanta put meat in them. These were SO good, maybe my favorite arancini that I've had recently. Good ratio of risotto to cheese and nice and crispy. The sauce that came with them was really good too. I wish you got more for the cost, but it was comparable to every restaurant. I ordered the Pomodoro al Vegetariana but subbed penne for the spaghetti (just not a fan lol). The pasta was really good and perfectly cooked. The sauce was maybe a little too garlicky? There was a good ratio of pasta to veggies. I don't like mushrooms but they blended in enough that I could eat them. My gf got the Penne Toscana because she's allergic to garlic, so this was one of the few things she could eat. (Side note, one of the other local Italian restaurants we called basically said there was nothing she'd be able to eat there.) Some of the artichoke pieces were really chewy and the dish was very oily, otherwise she enjoyed it. The inside is very nice, cozy and not stuffy. Our waitress was super sweet.

I did not say anything due to the second reason. Server didn't seem to be too keen on giving us top notch service. We have taken note that when we are a table of four, they always give us the rundown of the nightly specials. In. Great. Detail. Every time it is just the Husband and I? Nada. Nothing. Not even an introduction by the server this time. It's not the same server either. Happens with whomever we have. Seems to be something that they need to work on at this restaurant. We love this place! Watchman (our server) did a great job when it came to serving the food. But I should not have to ask about the specials nor ask for his name. We always tip more than expected, but when will servers learn that going above and beyond will get them above and beyond the expected tip? Hopefully something changes before our next visit to Chattanooga.

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.
