Rosemary all around the perimeter! WOW!
Cheri B.

So a Tuesday night 5:30pm... a wait of 45mins estimated. Party of 3. Nice high top in bar area available and a few other booths and tables open. I don't understand... we sat at the bar and ordered drinks and then meals because no table was 'available'... yet the high top was still open. Ridiculous. Food was good and bar service good too. Shrimp Scampi and Wedge Salad for me. Shrimp were really good. The wedge is one of my favorites and the lettuce served was really subpar... still dressing and tomatoes were good though. Savory chicken was really really good! The $5 plate of sloppy mashed potatoes seemed off... not a sprig of parsley or atleast a nice 'dallop' ... not classy restaurant presentation for sure. Nice ambience, but not worth the frustration and not a manager in site to check on diners and people waiting.

Tres Leches Coconut

I am so impressed with Side Track. From the moment I stepped in the door the ambiance set the mood for a wonderful dining experience There is a main dining room and a front room with bi-fold windows that were open due to the beautiful 70* temp outside. This room is perfect if you are sensitive to noise or just are looking for a place with low to no background music. Nathan was our waiter and was very knowledgeable on all dishes served. 4 appetizers were ordered for the table PLEASE PLEASE order the Deviled Eggs! I ordered the Prime Bavette with a garlic butter sauce and a side of mashed potatoes. The bavette was cooked to my specifications (medium rare) and the seasoning on top along with the garlic butter were a tasty combination. Mashed potatoes were light and creamy. For dessert I had the coconut tres leches layer cake served with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes. Also a home run! I was with 4 other people who all enjoyed their orders.

Crispy Okra Chips
Madge Marley H.

Officially in my Top Two favorite restaurants of all time! Really! We returned Sunday night for a fourth visit after dining at Sidetrack on Thursday night. Two years in a row we visited Chattanooga for Chattajack and ate twice each year at this culinary delight! Tonight did not disappoint! Annalisa, from Tupelo of all places, a fellow Mississippian, took excellent care of us. (Service is top notch always here!) We loaded up again! Starters: Whipped Feta with House-made Pitas, Crispy Okra Chips, and Truffle Fried Mushrooms (3 varieties) and Rosemary. Every bite sensational! Salads: Gem Caesar (1st) and Grilled Gem (3rd) - had the Wedge (2nd) on Thursday. All excellent. Ranked here is our preferences when we return. Opted for Fresh Fish: we both got the Pan Roasted American Red Snapper. Winner! Side: Wood Grilled Okra - perfection! Ending: French Press Velo Decaf coffee with real cream and brown sugar cubes. Side note: started off with a personal tea pot of hot Harney & Sons Japanese Sencha Green Tea with lemon wedges and honey. Even their hot tea tastes amazing! Do they put us under some sort of spell when we walk through the door?! Grand Slam every single time we dine here. What more can I say???

Crispy leeks on happy hour menu.

The bar at side tracks is intimate and cozy. The food is always consistently delicious. It gets packed so go early. They have a new, as of April 25, happy hour menu that rocks!

Fritta Misto! And whipped feta!
Trace S.

Side Track is reliably great. I try to go every time I visit Chattanooga. I tried the spicy gnocchi for the first time here and it did not disappoint! The apps we had are in the picture and they were whipped feta and Fritta Misto. They were both excellent.

S'mores dessert
Amelia R.

Food was good! Our server was so sweet, and the restaurant is very nice. Clean bathrooms and beautiful environment. S'mores dessert was AMAZING!

Truffle mushrooms
Joni P.

Rick was our waiter he did a great job explaining items on the menu. Made it easier deciding what we wanted to order as everything looked great. We are celebrating our 49th anniversary.

Theirs is always excellent! We had a pitcher of cider sangrias and Cesar salads as well. Everything tasted amazing. So why four stars? Two reasons.... First, two pieces of plastic in my carbonara. I did not say anything due to the second reason. Server didn't seem to be too keen on giving us top notch service. We have taken note that when we are a table of four, they always give us the rundown of the nightly specials. In. Great. Detail. Every time it is just the Husband and I? Nada. Nothing. Not even an introduction by the server this time. It's not the same server either. Happens with whomever we have. Seems to be something that they need to work on at this restaurant. We love this place! Watchman (our server) did a great job when it came to serving the food. But I should not have to ask about the specials nor ask for his name. We always tip more than expected, but when will servers learn that going above and beyond will get them above and beyond the expected tip? Hopefully something changes before our next visit to Chattanooga.

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.
