    Wedge salad
    Heather R.

    Found Scottie's on the River while looking for waterfront dining in Chattanooga. The restaurant had very limited parking and quite a long wait, despite a fairly open dining area. The people managing the front did not appear to have the process very organized so we waited a bit for. Table after 2:30 in the afternoon. Once seated, our waiter was very attentive and food was served quickly. We ordered wedge salads, fish and chip and chicken Marsala. The salads and fish were very good, but the chicken Marsala was not my favorite. It is served "airline style" as my waiter put it (wing attached to chicken breast). Overall, the food and service were good. Would have given it five stars if not for the check-in process and wait. Ate by the water and enjoyed the view.

    The outside seating was perfect! There were 3-5 tables with their dogs at any given time. This is a very dog friendly restaurant. Seeing the server bring food out and bowls of water for dogs was ... different. Moving on. The food was shrimp salad was very fresh and flavorful- definitely recommend! I could eat the spinach crawfish dip and naan by the bucket. Order. This. lol!

    Scotties On The River was great. The spot right on the Tennessee River is relaxed and pretty. Our server was friendly, explained the menu, and their suggestions were perfect. I ordered the shrimp with Brussels sprouts with pork belly. I loved the seasoning on the shrimp My sister had the salmon, cooked just right and very tasty. A friend went with a fresh fish that was sensational. The food is very well made, the chef deserves congratulations. I highly recommend going there to try the food, and the prices are very good.

    Outside patio has a relaxing ambiance and inside has a fun casual ambiance. The food is tasty and the service was friendly. I arrived late to the hotel so I got takeout. I recommend!

    Everything was great! We had wonderful service and the food was really good! Such a beautiful location on the water.

    Crème brûlée
    Brittany B.

    We visited today for the first time and had dinner, drinks and dessert on the patio. Our server, Luke, was warm and knowledgeable. I had the blueberry mojito and my wife had madam president for drinks - we'd order both again in a heartbeat. For dinner, we had the chop marsala and the black and bleu steak salad respectively. We enjoyed both and had leftovers to bring home. Our desserts were decadent: the crème brûlée and coconut cheesecake. The only thing that could have added to this experience was a nice view, and we even got that! Scottie's is located right in the river and we were able to take a walk along the river after. There was ample parking (pay by app; cost was about $7 for 3 hours) and the prices were fair. We'll be back!

    This place is amazing! Right in the river. I see and outside seating. Can eat at the bar. TVs for sports viewing. Winner was the dinner. The pork chop with Marsala mushrooms with pimento mashed potatoes couldn't have been better. Omg! Bonus- awesome fellow Hoosier waiter to help us celebrate win over Oregon!

    Great vibes outside, immediate seating with open seating for outdoor spots, no bugs seen just heard. We couldn't see the sunset from the angle of the patio, but the vibes were high regardless. The food was great - our waiter had lovely recs and even brought us free hush puppies! So sweet! The steak salad is perfect, especially paired with a side of seasonal cherry ribs and a glass of sauvy b. Perfect spot for a nice summer night out!!

    Passion fruit margaritas
    Diana S.

    Scottie on the river next to the Marriott was the perfect stay for a quick visit. The drink selection and food items were excellent. Nice view for a group by the river. Our waitress was excellent and attentive. The drinks were delicious. The passion fruit margarita was my favorite. Calamari's were light batter and does not come with marinara sauce. But I still think they should add some sort of dipping sauce. I enjoyed all my breads and entrees here.

    Lunch salads and apps

    Had a great lunch on the water at Scottie's. We sat outside on a beautiful day. Our server was Gracie and she was one of the best servers we have ever had. We started with some Not Your Ordinary Cheese Balls which are fried pimento cheese balls coated with sriracha honey glaze. They were delicious. I had the blackened salmon and broccoli and my wife had the Florentine Chicken. My salmon was cooked perfectly and was so light and flaky. The chicken was delicious and packed with flavor. I highly recommend stopping by Scottie's if in the Chattanooga riverfront area.

    She Crab Soup and The FAB
    Holly W.

    Came to Scottie's for a business lunch with a larger group. Service was prompt and lunch was services in a good timeframe still allowing us to talk shop and also fill our belly. I had the Fab with a cup of she crab bisque. Both were really good and a lot of food.

    Tammy C.

    What a fabulous New Year's Day lunch! Gracie, our server was super informative and on point with amazing service. My husband started with the she crab soup and went onto the lobster Reuben and enjoyed both immensely. I did the oyster special and tried three northern oysters for only a dollar each on Thursday and they were just great. I followed this with the potato crusted pan seared trout- it was exactly what I was looking for and delicious!

    Had a great time at Scottie's after a long, hot and humid walk on the river walk. Took some friends there that had not been before. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The day we went they had $1 oysters and of course I had to partake! Their wedge salad is wonderful and the staff and our waiter (maybe Kyle ‍) was amazing. Everyone said they are coming back with their husbands lol

    Can't recommend this cocktail bar enough!…read more We visited the bar late night while staying at the hotel and it did not disappoint. Despite clearly being short staffed and having a busy night - we were greeted almost immediately and encouraged to help ourselves to a seat. We sat at a table away from the bar (only one available) and a server came by to take our drink order. Before he could return, another employee - who was running food to another table - immediately came over to us after to see if we wanted to order food (which we did!). She took our order, then the drinks arrived and before we knew it the food was out and was incredible! The menu is quite limited - and even more so when you one of you doesn't eat meat - and yet we were able to make a meal out of 2 caesar salads, the hummus plate and the deviled eggs. And don't even get me started on the cocktails! We started with a Manhattan and an Espresso Martini that were perfectly crafted. And then for our dessert round switched to their signature Old Fashioned. Each one was better than the next! Thanks for an incredible time, Whiskey Thief. We will definitely we back!

If you want outdoor seating, get here early because space outside is limited. Inside, there's plenty of seating options with high-top tables, couches, and bar seating that create a relaxed atmosphere. We came mainly for the view and drinks, and the view absolutely delivered. Watching the sunset over the river was easily the highlight of the experience and worth seeing at least once. For drinks, we ordered Old Fashioneds and Margaritas. Unfortunately, both were just average and didn't live up to the setting or atmosphere. Service was also disappointing. The staff was not very attentive, and at one point we actually had to leave our table and go to the bar to find our waiter. In the end, the incredible view couldn't make up for the mediocre drinks and poor service. Great view, but this ended up being a one-and-done visit for us.

I can't remember all the varieties, but we usually get 2 of each kind of oyster they have available. It's a great way to start for the adults and the kids seem to go to town on the saltines. STIR has an extensive drink menu including various whiskeys and mocktails. We've generally ordered some kind of fish and a salad/poke bowl. The kitchen does a really great job of not overcooking the fish and there's the perfect amount of salt, fat and acid to flavor. The only thing that could be better is how they cook their white rice - it's not fluffy and has more of a gummy texture in both their poke bowl and their seasonal bento box. Ordinarily we wouldn't get desserts when Clumpies is a brief walk over, but this time we got their matcha cheesecake and layered chocolate cake. Both were delicious but between the two, I'd say the cheesecake was the best. Service is generally great here - they're attentive, friendly and give great recommendations. I also like how kid-friendly this restaurant is with a kids menu and crayons. While the ambiance doesn't feel kid-friendly, I like that this space allows parents to feel like they're having a night out while still able to have the kids in tow. We're fans and would definitely come back.
