Went with a party of 7 for my sister's birthday. We all had a wonderful time with lots of laughs…read more The actors/actress were great and put on a fun performance. The food was OK. Green bean and mashed potatoes were good...I wouldn't have ordered them on my own though. Chicken was dry and the cheese cake could have used something extra like strawberries or chocolate drizzle. The service was ok. They were very good about keeping our drinks full, but they gave no opportunity to ask for anything extra or different with the food. In summary, this is a place to go for entertainment and fun, not a place to go for amazing food. I'd go again just for the show, but wish they had more food options.

The menu is seasonal, so you may not encounter the dishes we did. I wouldn't hesitate to have a meal here

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.

They had no problem making the swap and I really enjoyed my meal. The chicken was great, and the portion was plenty big. I've tried a few different dishes and for the most part enjoyed them. In particular, I love the ravioli. The only thing that fell short for me was the carbonara dish. It didn't have a ton of flavor, but was still fine. I do think this is probably the best pasta in Chattanooga, so it's a great option if you are hoping for some pasta.

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.

Really enjoyed co-owner Jake stopping by for a discourse on wine and music and the correlation between the two. The guy is knowledgeable and welcoming.

I had the Ravioli Spinaci e Formaggi and my wife had the special -- an amazing prepared trout along with a side of the gnocchi for a slight up charge. Unfortunately I forgot to get pictures--we were so hungry to start eating. For dessert my wife had the chocolate mousse cake and I had the tiramisu. Both seemed they had been defrosted earlier in the day but overall the taste for both were still quite good. Just a bit of sections that were still pretty cold/frozen. The service was great and our waiter kept checking how everything was. I'm sorry I can't remember his name. It was also great to see how he and the other waitress interacted with the other customers. The atmosphere was also great. The brick walls and lighting lent to an authentic and cozy feel. We look forward to another date night here in the future.

Theirs is always excellent! We had a pitcher of cider sangrias and Cesar salads as well. Everything tasted amazing. So why four stars? Two reasons.... First, two pieces of plastic in my carbonara. 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.
