We've been here two times now and the food is usually pretty good, get the whipped fetta and the brussels sprout appetizer they are really good. Ambiance is good, might be to noisy for some, and the service is as expected from a $100/guest establishment, well trained and attentive. The reason for the 4 out of 5 stars is simple, my wife got the chicken piccata and the breast wasn't pounded out, it was just a big ole breast of chicken prepared "like" chicken piccata would be, very disappointed with that. I had the scallops and they were prepared exquisitely so that was a huge plus but to get 5 out of 5 stars you need to be perfect.

The Side Track was recommended by a friend and we were delighted with our experience there. The ambiance is nicer than we expected. The service was efficient and professional. We had wine and the delicious whipped feta appetizer. We each had different entrees and they were all delicious and pleasing. We have definitely added this place to our rotation!

The service was outstanding. The place was very well maintained and clean. The food was a little above my usual tastes, so it's hard for me to judge. However, the rest of the party (of 12) was impressed. Just a little above my raising...

This is a perfect local place where you can find awesome service and food! We made a reservation because we were told that this place fills up quickly and they were right. We decided to order wine and the truffle fried mushrooms for appetizer. Our waitress, Annalise was so kind, funny and personable! She made the experience even better! The mushrooms were so delicious! For our entrees we ordered the red snapper, grilled okra, charred gem lettuce salad and the salmon bisque. We also ordered shrimp and grits to go. All of the dishes were delicious! So much flavor and I loved the presentation of the dishes. Inside does have a dim light ambiance to give a more intimate atmosphere and they have many tables and booths. The bar area is also very nice. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes!

Not sure how Side Track gets such high reviews... On Friday, 2/16 @ 5:30 or so, we were told it would be a 40 minute wait, and received the confirmation text. But never got texted for a table. We gave up after 90 minutes and left to go elsewhere. I guess when you are that busy, you can afford to lose repeat a few repeat customers. And this is not the first time they've neglected us. Do yourself a favor Side Track, and switch to a reservation-only format. You obviously don't cater to walk-ins, anyway.

Food quality is amazing! Atmosphere feels very much like a Downtown Chattanooga bistro, but in Hixson. Service was very very slow, we had ordered a side dish which was missed completely, then the wrong side dish was brought out. The correct dish arrived well after we had finished our entrees, and I was surprised and disappointed to see it still on the check. Maybe they are assigning too many tables to servers? Either way, dessert was a definite win.
I don't like to give poor reviews, but seriously is this a $16 a la carte cheeseburger worth a 45 minute wait to be seated next to a table of loud obnoxious cursing people. I'm sorry to say we will not be back. The burger was just ok. Also had chicken tenders and no honey mustard or dipping sauce other than their ranch. Again, just ok. So many other choices in this area with much better ambiance, service and food.

Culinary masterpieces on the menu that are variations of american style food choices. Everything was delicious, recommend the deconstructed lasagna. Classy cocktail menu that's interesting with the combinations. Free parking around facility but recommend getting a reservation from there website as they are popular and fill up
