Our server Destin was fantastic! We were impressed by the food as well, the Fried Deviled Eggs and Vegetable Paella were delicious!

We went on a Wednesday night which was the perfect slow crowd time, we enjoyed our meal and felt that we would have more to try on a future visit! read more

Totally underwhelming. I know it's tapas but the quantity was barely enough for one person for 3 people we bought 8 tapas and we were so hungry when we were done. Over 130$ and we are heading somewhere else to eat. Disappointing. The taste was ok but nothing to rave about. Sorry really wanted to like but..... nice atmosphere and waiter and hostess. read more

Quiet place on a quiet street. Everything we tried was pretty good and if looking for someplace not crowded, my wife and I would return without concern for food or service. read more

A wonderful meal. We were warmly greeted, shown to our cozy corner booth, and provided attentive, respectful service, and absolutely delicious food. We began with watermelon salad, which was beautifully balanced with sweet, tart, and salty notes. The patatas bravas were a bit salty for my taste, but still enjoyable. Roasted carrots were sublime: honey ricotta paired beautifully with herb tahini. I don't know why I've been eating carrots any other way. Duck tostadas included pickled onions and tomatoes- lovely. The chargrilled octopus was tender and flavorful. We managed to find room for the chocolate budino, a luscious pudding topped with whipped cream. The ambiance was relaxed elegance, with beautiful lighting, furniture, and glassware. When music was playing, it set a comforting tone and still allowed conversation. It was a lovely experience all around. read more

AMAZING food! The Endives are a must have! The service is always so good. Amazing ambiance and music! read more

Definitely one of my new favorites. Came on Mothers' Day so they were busy but the service was impeccable. The whole group worked as a team. Food was great. We've had tapas in Spain and Amada's was as good and a lot was better. Lovely ambiance. We had golden beets (big thumbs up), burrata (tomato jam was yummy), great quiche and crab stuffed portobello. It was all delicious. read more

First time in Chattanooga and heard great things about Amada. Went and it was fantastic! The Sangria was delicious, wine selection was great. Food was incredible! Wish we didn't live so far away because this place would be a regular stop! read more

Food was both good and great!! Cheese plate was good as well as the duck tostadas.. but the halibut and paella was excellent!! Service was a little slow on getting food and drinks to the table but all and all it was a positive experience and worth checking out!! read more

I've been to Amada a few times now. Let's start with the service. Our waiter was extremely nice and accommodating. He lowered the lighting for us and even got the manufacturer and name of their table chairs because I loved them! The ambiance is nice, especially with the lights lowered. The seating was comfortable but stylish. I think this is the perfect spot to grab a few tapas before hopping to another place or maybe a nightcap and dessert. The pricing is a bit excessive in my opinion. The deviled eggs and potatas bravas were tasty but not worth $8 each. Same goes for the street corn priced at $10. Our highlights of the night: Endives (fresh and delicious ingredients) and the mussels read more

This is a wonderful new addition to Southside dining! The interior is beautiful and the service was amazing. We started with chicken croquettes - they were creamy and good, wish they had a tad more sauce with them though to offer more flavor. The seared salmon was excellent, cooked perfect and tasted very fresh. Classic Patatas bravas always a crowd pleaser. My husband really enjoyed the octopus, he said is was expertly seasoned. Ended the meal with the cheesecake which was a perfect size bite for one (I don't eat cheesecake personally) but maybe not enough for everyone to share. Will definitely be back again! read more

First time eating at Amadas for a birthday dinner, we were not disappointed. The host staff were very courteous, and I'm pretty sure the owner came and spoke to us and said how grateful she was that we'd chosen to celebrate there. The food is excellent, especially the eggplant and potatas, and it's easy to share with others. The general ambiance and vibe felt welcoming, and the bits of decor added so much to the space. I would highly recommend this place, certainly as a date night space or for a fun night out with friends. Thanks for serving us and making our experience so great! read more

Amada Tapas - After a pleasant evening at Amadas. - Tapas Bars Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I went here over the weekend with some girlfriends for my birthday. We ordered most of the tapas offered and shared among the table. Note that the plates are primarily prepared with 4 servings. There were 6 of us, so this was an issue with the dishes everyone wanted to try. Overall, it was good. I was disappointed with the temperature of some of the food - definitely could have been hotter. Also the steak was ordered medium and came out well done. We also expected there to be some daily specials, but they no longer have daily specials. The churros were one of the best items we tried. All in all, the ambiance was nice but the food didn't impress me enough to come back. read more

This place was great. Tasty, well thought out tapas dishes. I had the yellow tail, meatballs, stuffed pasta, fried deviled eggs and the cheesecake. All of it was awesome. The decor was modern and fresh and very artsy. We will definitely be back. read more

We were super excited when we saw there was a new tapas bar in Chattanooga! The restaurant was super cute and cozy inside and the staff was incredibly friendly! We ordered a ton of food of course and overall everything was really good other than the scallops. They smelled and tasted fishy but other than that everything was really delicious! The plates were the perfect size to share with 4 people. It was really hard for us to not order the entire menu! The beef carpaccio and the yellowfin tuna were all of our favorites. Definitely will be coming back!! read more

This place is designed to make you just branch out and order that menu item you may not of heard of or don't know if you'll like. Everything we got was spectacular! Just dive in and get a couple plates and enjoy! The yellow fin was the most exciting but quiet surprisingly the egg plant really blew me away! I've never had better egg plant. The fired deviled eggs were really exciting and fun, I will forever be happy to go here and have a great time! Staff was so welcoming and nice, 10/10 time! read more

We've been to Amada several times before- however tonight was different. The food wasn't as good as usual. The shrimp seemed old because the texture was weird. The deviled eggs were flavorless. The chicken croquettes were mushy- not sure if there was chicken in them. The BlackBerry Bloom cocktail and Estrellas were good though. . Here's the kicker- we asked if they had any hot sauce. They said they had a house hot sauce. I don't know what kind of sauce it was but it was not hot AT ALL. Even better, they charged us $3.00 for a tiny cup of it. (We needed it to make the food better.) We miss Terra Nostra!!! Amada could use some cooking lessons from them. I wish this review was better. The service was fine and friendly. read more

This eatery has it all! Cool interior and vibe. Every dish we had was excellent. We especially enjoyed the shrimp and octopus. Service (led by Conner) was awesome. Eager to ensure you have what you need to have an excellent dining experience. One of the owners (Amanda) stopped at our table and checked in our happiness level. The restaurant is family owned/operated and you can feel the extra care un every bite. Well done! read more

Not quite there yet. Really great idea, but the food was lacking. Pretty decent wine list

The food was amazing! I highly recommend the octopus. We ended up getting a second order. The fan favorite was definitely the spicy garlic shrimp. We added that sauce to all of the other plates we ordered The ambiance...out of this world! read more

We took a visitor from Maine with us for our first dinner at Amada Tapas. We were welcomed to the stylish setting and multicolored glassware at a table selected especially for us since our two guys are well over 6 ft. The fried deviled eggs were a unique twist on an old favorite. We shared grilled octopus and grilled shrimp which were flavorful but not too spicy as well as mussels. We rounded out the meal with snap peas and cubed potatoes each with unique preparation. The guys raved about the carrot cake but I was a little disappointed in the chocolate offering. I should have asked for a description. This was maybe out best dinner out in months., read more

We ate Sunday brunch here. Everything we ate was amazing. Service was great. Can't wait to go back!

Everything was excellent here, service was prompt, caring, and helpful--great recommendations. The Crab cakes, Octopus, and Shrimp were knockouts; all paired terrific with a white blend from Portugal by Mary Taylor. We finished everything off with the pitcher of white sangria which was delicious and refreshing. We dined at 7:30 on a Thursday night, ambiance was quiet and quaint, with a soft buzz in the night. I'm certain it's much busier/livelier on the weekend. Looking forward to going back! read more

We had a table of 6 and must have tried more than half the menu. Everything we ate was absolutely fabulous. Service was attentive and caring. The Spanish wines we tried were very good. They are very new and still working out a few small details but I think they are going to be a great addition to the good scene in Chattanooga. My only negative was that the music was a bit too loud for conversation. read more
