The service was severely lacking, the food was good but unimpressive for the price. The atmosphere was nice. We’d like to give it another chance but for sure our first impression on our anniversary was disappointing.

Last time we went everything was great! This time the food (Brussels sprouts, grouper, and spaghetti squash) was so salty that I could barely eat my meal. I would ask for light salt next time. My husbands steak and fries were good and not overly salty. Great drinks. The server was very nice, but we both felt like she was rushing us from the time we sat down. We didn’t order desert because she seemed so rushed to get us out of there. We will likely try it again sometime since our first experience was much better!

We were INSULTED at the age of 60 to show our driver’s license for a glass of wine. He told us it was TN state law. We ordered appetizers and a glass of wine and left. We had dinner somewhere else where we did t have to show our license. He should have said it was the owner of the restaurant’s policy, and not that it was a Tennessee State law. The prices were high enough without being insulted.

wonderful menu, good variety, but with some emphasis on beef and steaks. The mussels in white wine/garlic sauce was outstanding. My entree was the Lamb Bourguignon and it was delicious. My friend had the grilled trout almandine

Arrived on time, received table requested, pleasant waitress, Burger Week hamburgers ordered by all three. We asked if we could substitute blue cheese instead of Gouda and the waitress said no problem…it would be blue cheese crumbles. Drinks took thirty minutes and Burgers took forty five minutes before served. They arrived charred, very well done, dry and small portion. When the bill arrived we had a 2 dollar up-charge blue cheese on each plus had a charge for a fourth burger, fries and up-charge when only there were only 3 of us and only 3 ordered and received. We addressed issue with waitress and 10 minutes later corrected. Slow, slow service.

I use the restaurant quite frequently when I’m in Chattanooga, I have the impression that from the time I start visiting the restaurant to now some changes in the kitchen happened. Some dishes like Steak Frites, use to have a very nice sauce coming together that has been eliminated. The size of the portion varies every time I ask this dish. The prices are higher than before quite significant. Some of the people working there are nice and polite, however some people are rude and careless about the customer.
