    We had a great dinner with friends from Texas. Our friends from the club recommended Hennen's and they were spot on. Good food in a place where we could talk to our friends without having to hear a lot of other noise.

    Peyton did a wonderful job serving us. Cocktails, wine, and meal were all superb. Table wasn’t the best we have had: loud party behind us. But that is hard to control: we understand.

    Don't order a steak, the chef does not know how to properly cook it. My husband specifically asked our waiter if there was a chef in the kitchen or just a cook as he hesitated to order the steak. Our server told us that the kitchen was 'solid'. So, he ordered the Delmonico medium rare...it came out rare. I ordered a Filet special with 3 - 3oz filets with different sauces. I ordered it medium. 1 was medium rare, 1 was medium and the other medium well. When the waiter came by to check on us, my husband showed him the steak and told him it was rare, not medium rare. He apologized and offered to take it back the kitchen to be cooked a bit longer, but that throws off the two of us eating together, so he declined. Then, the waiter threw the executive chef under the bus and said he never prepares anything...so why tell us that the kitchen was 'solid'. No manager ever stopped by the table to check and see if everything was to our liking...which is unacceptable what is supposedly the 'best restaurant in Chattanooga." Also, we indicated that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. No one said anything to us about an anniversary. Why ask for the information is the restaurant will not do anything with it? Over, not worth the money.

    My wife and I always love coming here. The food is superb each time. The chef is really good about helping us with a dish that used to be on the menu but isn’t anymore. But he makes it for us. The Delmonico Ribeye is amazing each time come. Best steak anywhere. Save room for dessert. We’ve tried everything they have an each is awesome.

    There food was AMAZING! Went there for mother's day and were able to get a table right away due to our reservation. We unexpectedly had to bring my 3 year old son, and they welcomed him right in with no problem (although no kids menu was provided). Overall a great experience with even better food!

    This is a great restaurant and I will be back. Food was great and service was amazing. One issue kept it from being 5 star across the board. We were entertaining business clients and they had us in a separate room. Shortly after seating us they seated another group of very loud men who made it near impossible for us to have conversations through our entire meal. Wish we had been moved because of this but other than that it was great.

    Our service was wonderful, the food too, but the restaurant is not one of Chattanooga's finest if that is what you are seeking. My wife and I had a great time, we always do. We also enjoyed our food, both entrees suggested to us by our great waiter when we asked for his recommendations. The restaurant itself is showing signs of wear and tear, perhaps neglect. The food was a good value for the money and along with the great service made for an enjoyable evening out in downtown Chattanooga.
