Absolutely amazing! Everything was so flavorful and different than anything I’ve ever had. Our waitress was super sweet and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal!

Delicious brunch, friendly staff, beautiful setting!!

My husband and I ate lunch there this past weekend on the recommendation of a friend (we also had known about it and have been wanting to try it out). The space was smaller and more crammed than I thought it would be. We ordered the small plate of hummus and veggies, which, in my opinion was the best food we had there, and then we both ordered the same thing: the turkey and brie sandwich with apples and fig preserves and a side of potato salad. Unfortunately they were out of brie, so we both opted to have swiss. My husband enjoyed the sandwich but I thought it was mediocre at best. I have had a lot of great sandwiches in my life and this was nothing to write home about and would not choose it again. What I was really disappointed by was the potato salad. I was so excited about it, but it tasted watery (if that makes sense at all?!) and was not seasoned well with enough base seasonings like salt and pepper. I really felt it had no flavor. Our service was good, but we were served by two different servers which felt a little all over the place. I'm not sure if dinner there is a lot better than lunch, and that is why people love it, but I would probably not recommend this place to anyone, especially not with what we had to eat!

We were driving through Chattanooga on a road trip and found this on the map to stop for lunch. What an incredible experience. Great vibe, great people, great story and great food. The menu changes weekly and we wanted to order everything and then come back to try dinner. They were even great with our dog. Get whatever the special is.

It’s a great place with excellent food, service and ambiance. I have been going there since they first opened. You know, back when there wasn’t a weight. Rivers a his team do a great job but be prepared to wait for a table and park next door in the dry cleaning lot

Absolutely amazing! Cocktail was tasty, food was tasty and lots of character. Be warned there is a small parking lot in the back and the dining area is also very cozy. Not sure if they take reservations but I would recommend it for dinner if they do.

Be prepared to wait to be seated due to no reservations and very limited seating space. This is a meal you linger over and savor, so no one is in a rush to leave. This is one of the best meals I have ever had. The food is fantastic and so full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I will definitely be returning.

This place is such a hidden gem! Pro tip: get there early! Dinner starts at 5 but they always have snack options and the drinks are fantastic. The owner is so engaging and friendly- you can tell he really loves what he does, and that is wonderful to see. The food changes weekly and is consistently 10/10. Everything we’ve ever tried- pork belly fried rice, brussel sprouts, bacon wrapped quail- WATERMELON salad (I will have dreams about it)- it’s all amazing. Put it in your rotation!

This quickly has become one of my favorite places to eat in Chattanooga. It's busy with no reservations, but that is part of the charm. Take your time, enjoy good food and have a nice drink.

The first time my partner and I ate here, we solemnly agreed this is our new favorite restaurant. You sit down to a plate of food here and the world melts away. You can taste how much care goes into it. Phenomenal food, friendly people, all around entirely lovely.
