While staying at the Chattanoogan hotel for a wedding weekend, I walked around the area and came…read moreacross the Chattanooga Choo Choo station. It is now part of the Hotel Chalet. I remember the song (my mom used to sing it) and wanted to experience the depot and see the remnants of the train itself. The train station has been refurbished, and it harkens back to the old days. You walk through the station and out to the track (Gate 11 per the signage; Track 29 in the song). It was cool to see what the old depot was like. It had an elevated platform to look into one of the old passenger cars. Old passenger cars are now lined up in the back of the area which serve as overnight room stays. There are various activities on the grounds and people selling items under tents (like a flea market). Some history markers are on the grounds also highlighting the Chattanooga Choo Choo's past. I was a nice nostalgic experience and I'm glad I got to visit it.

It's become an abandoned, urban tourist trap. Someone has turned old train cars into air bnbs and thrown a pool in the middle of the attraction - it's smart, but sad. The cars are not taken care of, rusted paint and broken parts, most likely to keep the "aesthetic" but whoever runs it should do basic upkeep...whoever owns the property for the choo choo itself is doing a horrible job caring for what used to be an amazing tourist spot and local attraction. There is a fountain in the middle of the property next to the train and about 40 fish in it not being fed and the plants in the pond are dying, the statues in the pond have cracked and fallen over. Ontop of that, the shops in the area have lost the old-timely aesthetic and glow that comes with the train. It's turned into things like an escape room and urban murals with tacky pizza places. I wish I got the name of the store but there is only one left that truly contains the old timey vibe and sells literal toys and souvenirs that are themed to the attraction. So disappointing to see the iconic attraction be let go and unkept like this after growing up here and seeing it in its prime only 10-15 years ago. Do better!

We didn't know what to expect from the restaurant, meaning that we had made reservations just from…read moreYelp and some Ai description pointers. This is an open floor plan, modern decor restaurant complete with a lengthy bar area. It is very open and modern except for the kitchen, which remains partially visible through windows from the main dining area. It was a Wednesday night and was surprisingly slow at 6:30, in terms of the crowd, or lack thereof, with only three other tables occupied during our visit. Our server, Jonathon, was very polite, attentive, and professional. Especially in contrast to my observation of the other server, whom I observed going through the motions of waiting in tables like a bored veteran server who might have been half drunk. Just an observation, but he kind of had our attention while serving a nearby table. He clearly knew what he was doing and mostly pulled off a good job, it was mostly timing and tone of voice and the way he was gliding across the room. Good for that guy. It was pasta night and that meant pasta specials, so I figured this was one of those, "our best game" dishes and ordered the bolognese with rigatoni. I also ordered the Appalachian Salad, which was spinach, radicchio, blue cheese, pine nuts, 5 oz beef tenderloin tip, red wine vinaigrette. I asked for medium rare and got well done. But both were fantastic. I did not think the bolognese would satisfy my appetite, it was filling, but I did t want to be hungry an hour later and the steak with salad deliciously helped. My wife had the herb crusted salmon, chive-pepper-corn couscous ragout, fried basil. And there was a lot of couscous, probably a cup and a half if not two cups. This too was delicious. I was intrigued by one menu item we did not try for $25 as an appetizer, deep fried egg yolks with crème fraiche and caviar. I know to get that, the yolks must be frozen, then breaded and fried to be crisp on the outside but runny yolk inside. I couldn't interest my wife in this adventure, but someone else try them and let us know? Staff were all very hospitable. Free valet parking for a couple of hours, right at the entrance in fact. Value was reasonable and good quality, quantity and flavors were very good. It didn't blow us away, but we were not disappointed. The only crazy thing was $14 for a small pour on a glass of Chardonnay, but that's the way it goes for dining out nowadays. This was a decent choice for our dinner out while visiting Chattanooga. I will say, Jonathon, our waiter, did a five star job.

The soundtrack was also an unexpected mix of religious Christmas and opera music that overpowered the room. Much too loud. That said, the food itself delivered. Portions were generous, plating was thoughtful, and the mushroom gnocchi--subbed in for the ravioli that night--was flavorful, well executed, and satisfyingly hearty. The menu could use another substantial vegetarian dish with protein, but overall the meal was enjoyable and worthy of a return visit. Half off wine bottles Wednesday was an unexpected bonus!
