The Fettuccine Rocco--no spice and equally delicious! The Fish 'n Chips tastes as good as my favorite restaurant on the coast in San Francisco (known for theirs). We've had several of the burgers and none have disappointed...but the TN Whiskey Glazed burger is to die for! *Chefs kiss* My least favorite dish so far, has been the Maui Chicken. It was missing something...needed a sauce, pineapple, or something. For desserts, if you're a chocolate lover, you must try the creamy Lava Cake--and then there's the decadent Crème Brûlée...(Wow!) The atmosphere here is relaxed and family-friendly. We've had the best servers! Attentive and hospitable. All in all, we love our gem here in Ooltewah so if you're just passing through, or live further in the city, it'll be well worth your drive. Give the Local Goat a try!

Now, the place had more noise than a family reunion after someone mentions politics--two teenage softball teams carrying on, laughing, living large. Hard to fault that. Better than silence so thick you can hear your own regrets. Food showed up quick, which is about all you can ask when you're hungry enough to consider eating the menu. And it was good--honest good. Not "tell your mama about it" good, but solid, dependable, "yep, I'd order that again" good. Prices didn't make you feel like you'd just financed somebody's boat, either. Beer was cold--like it ought to be, like it better be--and the waitress understood to be there exactly when we needed her and vanishing when we didn't. That's an art form. Now the atmosphere... well, it had all the charm of a place that once had big decorating plans and then decided, "Eh, this'll do." A little on the bare side. Felt like a Friday night that never quite got dressed up. But I'll tell you this--I'd go back. And that, right there, is about the highest praise you can give a place without writing a love letter to the chef.

    I was extremely pleasantly surprised by my dinner here. It was phenomenal from the decor, seating,…read morevibes, menu, and service. I was alone and asked for a quiet table in the back - I looked at the patio which was really nice and spacious, but it was about 95 degrees so I chose to sit inside due to that. I was seated at a nice booth alone with tons of space and a friendly waitress came to explain the menu to me and take my order. I had a mocktail made that was very good - and they only charged $5 for all mocktails which I appreciate. As a non-drinker it irritates me to pay $13-18 for juice that doesn't even have alcohol. I chose the house salad and it was by far the best I've ever had. Loaded with fresh veggies, delicious dressing, cheese and some breadcrumbs I think. Great size and portion for the price and fabulous combination of items. I chose the salmon with peaches and cream couscous. The salmon itself was wonderful - but that couscous was so good, I could not stop eating it. It had corn and fresh peaches and it was the perfect combination of salty and sweet. For dessert - I went with the Chocolate Bomb.com but found it to be wayyyyy too salty with the toffee, salt, and combo. I wish I'd gotten their famous cheesecake but, next time! Loved everything about this spot. Very elegant and no portion of my food wasn't clearly well planned and carefully prepared. Highly, highly recommend. Located on a fabulous street near many other charming shops.

The service is excellent; we are regulars and it's top tier every time. The ambiance, especially the bar area is beautiful and can feel somewhere between an elevated casual to mid-high end experience. Some things I'd like to see happen here: (1) a more true and robust brunch menu and please get an espresso machine, (2) brunch could use some live music and/or a dj (like a toned-down Stateside Kitchen vibe or a jazz trio--something--anything). The food is so good here, there is no reason this place shouldn't be absolutely packed on a Sunday.

I was staying at Hotel Clemons and it was an easy walk from the hotel. We started with the pork belly appetizer, had the salmon for dinner, and ordered a couple of cocktails. Everything was excellent. The service was just as good as the food. Kate took great care of us and made the experience feel warm and welcoming from start to finish. The vibe is what I loved most. It feels elevated without being pretentious. Think fine dining quality food with a relaxed atmosphere where you can actually enjoy yourself and have a conversation. If you're visiting Chattanooga and looking for a nice dinner spot, I'd definitely recommend adding this to your list. Next time I'm in town, I'll be back to try more of the menu.
