The trout almondine was perfect and the green beans were excellent. Bit of a wait on a Friday night but the waterfront view made time fly by.

My husband had a service dog (with best and signage), and we were greeted with sorry, no dogs. We educated the hostess and gave her an opportunity to check with her manager. Aside from that negative encounter, the service was amazing, and the good was simply put as creative, great taste and presentation. The atmosphere was great indoor and out. Must go!

I arrived at the restaurant last night at 8:30 PM, well before the 10 PM closing time, only to endure a horrendously mismanaged dining experience. Despite being informed of a 25-30 minute wait, we sat at the bar for nearly an hour. A member of our 3 person party went and sat outside on his laptop while we waited. The manager told him he could sit out there. I told the host twice he was in our party.After asking the bartender what was going on with the wait she went to the host stand and they finally seated us. I then see that they didn’t even bother letting us know that the other member of our party had already started placing orders. They just let us waste our time at the bar instead of seating us with him. When I asked why this happened the host said “she forgot he was apart of our party” and the other host said he was “bothering the waitress trying to order food”.I’m sorry, is this not a restaurant? I asked to speak with the manager to have clarity about the situation. I also told the waitress and manager multiple times we were there for my friends birthday. When we wanted to place an order for dessert the waitress said we can’t because the kitchen is closed? There was no last call. No one said anything to us at all. And the time was maybe 10:10pm?! It’s her birthday obviously we want to order dessert. We had to get the manager again. All she wanted was a bread pudding. They then proceeded to “do us a favor” and bring us two bread puddings. The waitress said the manager comped the birthday girls and that I’d only have to pay for mine. Word for word. I never ordered dessert. We wanted 1 to share for her birthday.The manager came out again with a horrible attitude. Explaining the restaurant doesn’t take reservations and the kitchen is closed and that he can take my dessert back and throw it away. We were actively eating our meal so why can we not order dessert?! It felt as if they wanted us out. We were not even at our table very long. He dropped the check and the bread pudding was still on it.I had to ask the waitress AGAIN to please take it off. Nothing on our tab was comped except the birthday girls bread pudding. It was the worst dinning experience I’ve ever had. We had a buzzer waiting for our table for an hour!! Then you want to cut our dinning experience short? The manger clearly has no experience or is truly just uncaring and bad at his job. He also made it seem as if the man in my party was “off” and overly intoxicated. When the manager is the one that got him a beer. If someone is “over intoxicated” then you don’t serve them more alcohol. Anyone in the industry knows this. He didn’t even dine with us. He went and sat in the car while my friend and I were trying to enjoy our meal. He said he didn’t enjoy the service or the way he was treated. From my point of view, no one at this establishment has any common sense and they do not care about their customers.Everyone in our party including myself works in fine dining. We know excellent serve. This was far from it. Will not be back.

Situated against the backdrop of the stunning river view, this dining experience transcends mere meals – it’s a journey for the senses.Freshness is the cornerstone of every dish here, evident in every bite of the ahi tuna salad. The vibrant colors and bold flavors of the tuna paired with crisp, locally sourced greens create a taste that’s both refreshing and satisfying.For the raw oyster aficionados, prepare to be dazzled by the sheer variety and freshness of the offerings. Each briny slurp is a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to sourcing the finest, most pristine seafood available.And let’s not forget about the fried okra – a true Southern delicacy done to perfection. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor, it’s the ideal accompaniment to any seafood feast.But what truly sets this establishment apart is its unparalleled river view. As you dine, you’re treated to a panoramic vista that enhances the dining experience, elevating it from extraordinary to unforgettable.Whether you’re a seafood enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates a good meal with a view, the Seafood and Oyster Bar is a destination not to be missed. Prepare to indulge in a culinary adventure that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you longing for more.

I'm honestly not sure what the hype is about. The restaurant is open style so extremely loud, service was subpar. Most of the staff were not friendly or attentive. The Louisiana BBQ shrimp was the only thing I'd order again, the sauce was amazing. A lot of the dishes are involved in the number of ingredients but still somehow had pretty bland taste. The bloody Mary was very watered down but presentation was nice.
Great views, even better food! Staff was more than on point

This restaurant in Chattanooga is great. The atmosphere is amazing, it sits beside the river so of course it has amazing views. Our service was awesome, and our meal was spectacular. We got the key lime pie to go because we were too full to eat it after our meal but it was delicious anyway! We will definitely return!
