Great place for families and non families alike. Loved the large tanks for the fish, they looked very clean as well. Glad to see the residents had plenty of space to swim around, compared to some other aquariums I have visited. Wonderful butterfly garden as well. I enjoyed that saltwater and freshwater exhibits were separated. Fantastic views of the Tennessee River and the Riverfront area from the aquarium. Would definitely recommend a visit here, if you're in town.

My BF took me here as a b-day surprise and it did not disappoint. The exhibits were lovely and educational. The view of the river from the different levels was spectacular. We really enjoyed ourselves, we came late in the day and it wasn't crowded which was delightful and peaceful - I recommend it!

Had such a great time at the Tennessee Aquarium! The setup and design of the buildings are beautiful — super easy to walk through and explore. There’s so much to see and learn at every turn, from the sea creatures to the interactive exhibits. Definitely a fun mix of learning and relaxing. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area — I’ll let the pics do the rest of the talking! 🐠🐧🌊

This place is awesome!!! We had such a great time!! There's so much to see you could easily spend the entire day here! The only issue is parking (especially if you're disabled). We ended up having to pay to park in front of a condominium in order to have enough room for me to use my wheelchair.

My husband and I thought this was a top notch aquarium. I don’t recall visiting an aquarium with a large focus on freshwater animals. It was very interesting. The flow of the aquarium was really well done. I liked how you started at the top and just meandered to the bottom without risking missing anything. We would definitely recommend this aquarium to others. It is in a great location as well. Convenient to restaurants and hotels. We walked from our hotel, walked to lunch, and then walked back to the hotel.

We are aquarium people, and I've been here before, but my partner has not! We needed to make it a stop on our trip and we both had a blast! Every single member of staff we came across was very friendly and kind. The exhibits were beautiful and we loved seeing the variety of critters they had. I also got to pet a shark in one of the touch tanks, so yeah it was basically the best day of my life. I'm so glad I got to show him this aquarium and can't wait to go back next time we are in TN!

Great water exhibit, featuring marine mammals and lots of fish from salt and fresh water areas. There are two separate buildings and are included in the ticket price. To avoid the crowds and screeching crotch goblins, I recommend not going during the weekend or if there's any holiday vacations going on.

The museum is a mix of classic and modern architecture and features an extensive collection of American art with a few European artists mixed in. While it doesn't boast a huge number of famous artists there are a few pieces by Warhol, Hopper, Wyeth, Wood and Sargent in the collection. The main part of the collection is 1800's to mid 1900's American art and it's a very nice collection. There is some modern and contemporary art mixed in. The museum includes some interactive areas, including one to make an expressive self portrait to be featured on a screen at the beginning of the walk through. Unfortunately, we didn't get to venture through the sculpture gardens because it was raining. It's definitely worth a trip, and you get 3 hours of free parking validated inside the museum.

This Museum in Chattanooga, Tennessee is spectacular and i went there with my dad this weekend. this Museum has it's great History and Art Displays in every single gallery ever from the Colonial American era to the Modern Day Art era of now, plus you can make your own Digital Portrait of yourself and let your imagination go wild; and there Gift Shop is very decent and nice!

Definitely smaller but excellently priced and very informative. The displays describe the artwork perfectly and the sculpture is outside lead to a interesting garden walk under the famous adjacent bridge. Regrettably the garden display is closed until a later date.

An icon of Chattanooga and Southern Art. Member review. I love their current exhibition - a loan from Spelman University. Great programming and events that are engaging and fun! I would see the need for a Wheelchair button on the entrance door. It would help greatly!!!

Beautiful museum. I loved how it was laid out. Early 1900s to late 1900s in one part of the building then in the mansion 1800s art. Also enjoyed seeing an Andy Warhol original!

First time going, really enjoyed all of the older art. Only problem now is I got my parking validated inside but now Professional Parking Management is trying to charge me $75 for parking at 10 Bluff View. What gives?

Located in Chattanooga this is beautiful setting near the famous walnut walking bridge

What a great slice of history. This walking bridge is super cool. It takes twenty minutes to go across. The walk is nice and the views are amazing. They are closing for renovation on 3/17 for two years. I’m happy I got to enjoy this beautiful bridge.

We visited the Coolidge park right across the bridge. Nice location and perfect place for evening stroll. This bridge has historical Significance and kids enjoyed learning about it. Sunset view was nice to watch.

We were touring the area and had the idea to walk across the bridge and get ice cream on the other side. Parking was $2.45 ($2 plus a service fee of 45 cents) for an hour using the ParkMobile app. We realized the bridge was temporarily closed for construction when we arrived. However, two nice locals told us that we could still walk across the Tennessee River using either of two nearby bridges: the Chief John Ross Bridge or the Veterans Memorial Bridge. The other bridges are busier and not as nice as the Walnut Street Bridge because there is a lot of car traffic, but they’re still viable alternatives if you’d like to follow a similar plan.

It's such a classic Chattanooga activity. It's a core memory of mine for so many special moments . I especially loved my sweet dates , my walks with friends , heart break crying to market Street , watching my kid get so excited to run across and terrifying me that she would get her foot stuck in one of the boards holes . I'm sad that it will be closed for two years (because Chattanooga always takes longer than they say ) but I am excited to see the improvements ... And to get rid of the board holes

The Bridge was closed for renovations when I went to Chattanooga and will be closed until next September. Despite the construction, it still was a sight to behold when looking at it from afar.

The best time to visit this historical landmark is right before sundown. Leave your car in the Coolidge Park area and enjoy a stroll across the bridge as the colors change from orange glow to glittering city lights. If you work up an appetite there are many places to eat at the end of the Market Street bridge.

Connected between downtown Chattanooga to the other side of the river, to the other part of town. A walking & biking bridge, no cars allowed on it. Great views up and down the river, and on both sides, its surrounded by beautiful parks, a ton of shops and restaurants! 🌎 We travel for a living (USA & around the globe) and love to share our experiences both here on Google maps and on our social media pages, too! Follow along our travel and adventures below! Cheers friend! Ashley & Nate from Adventure Encounters

Great experience in the caverns. Absolutely worth it. The twisting drive up and down the mountain was exhilarating. The guides were amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

The person who guide us thru this cave was so nice and informative. All the way to the end was incredible seeing all the formations inside the cave. Worth the walk to see this beautiful and amazing natural wonder.

Visited Ruby Falls and it was such a cool experience. You go down into the cave, walk through all the rock formations, and at the end there’s this huge underground waterfall — it’s honestly amazing to see in person. The lights make it look even more magical. The tour is easy to walk and the guides are friendly and explain a bit of the history. It’s a fun spot to visit, especially if you’ve never seen an underground waterfall before. Definitely worth it if you’re around Chattanooga!

Getting to the waterfall is such a fun adventure. The elevator ride down a solid rock shaft is interesting and at the bottom there is a waiting area in the cave where you gather to follow the tour guide through the cave to the waterfall. There was so many rock formations to see along the way that made the time go quickly. Our tour guide had an unique sense of humor and we had a great time! Worth the visit.

The first time that my wife and I had been to Ruby Falls since we were kids. We really enjoyed the tour and learning about the history of its founding.

Ruby Falls is definitely worth seeing if you are in Chattanooga. We had an amazing and enjoyable time on the tour. Going down the elevator into the mountain is cool, and the walk through the cave is fun. The best part is the waterfall! The 145-foot waterfall at the end is absolutely beautiful. When they turn on the colored lights, it looks stunning! It’s truly a special scene hidden inside the earth. If you like nature I would highly recommend coming here.

We visited Ruby Falls during our trip to Tennessee, and it was truly unforgettable. The staff was incredible ,our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate, sharing lots of interesting facts about the cave’s history and formations. The cave itself is breathtaking, and the waterfall is simply stunning ,pictures don’t do it justice! Everything was well-organized, and the whole tour felt magical from start to finish. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!

I miss the old Bluff View District! It's really gone downhill since Michael left. The new renovations to Rembrandt's leave it feeling cold and impersonal, just like any other coffee shop (if not for the patio, they would not have such a good business), and the menu has been severely limited. Back Inn closed and with it took a good restaurant, leaving only Tony's with its overcooked pasta and noisy, boring atmosphere. I miss the wine tastings; they were the best part of the Bluff. I've given it 2 stars only for the art; they do a fabulous job with the sculpture garden and other pieces scattered throughout the Bluff, and the Gallery is still very good. Except for the art, no real reason to go here anymore. I miss the old Bluff View District.

Had my wedding here recently and it was amazing! The location and accessibility is was unmatched! Angela really went above and beyond to ensure my day was perfect and special and I’m super appreciative of her for everything she done for us. It was truly an amazing experience!

This is a lovely area with shops and cafés and an amazing sculpture garden. It's a great place to picnic or walk around with a cup of coffee and enjoy the gorgeous surroundings.

I was in Chattanooga for 3 days and I stopped by BVAD every day! Rembrandt Coffee is a great way to start the day with tasty food and coffee. Nice sculpture garden and great views of the TN River and Walnut St Bridge. This is only a 1.5 block, art district but it has a unique, European vibe. There is limited parking for free, 2 hours.

Beautiful old world style place to walk, sightsee, eat, look at art, shop, have a coffee, see a beautiful river, catch a sunset (or sunrise), and stay a night, ...and the view of Chattanooga's bridges.. wow! The list goes on & on. One of my favorite places in Chattanooga. Whether you are a visitor or a local, ya gotta experience it. Lovely.

What a beautiful way to experience downtown Chattanooga! The art was interesting, eclectic, and well placed. easy to walk, but it is hard to find parking... be patient. It's worth it.

We have enjoyed the Bluff View Art District for many years. Great food at four restaurants. The sculpture garden is free and really worth a quick walk. Also two art museums are adjacent. Parking can be limited at times

My husband and I ate here on our last night during a recent trip to Chattanooga. We went with the chef’s choice tasting menu. Easily one of the best meals we have ever had! Service was great! I definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back!

Our new favorite! We stopped in for oysters and came back for dinner the next night. We loved the clean, modern ambiance and chill vibe. Every dish wast delightful & delicious. Great selection of oysters, the heirloom tomatoes & stone fruit was so flavorful, the tuna & peaches came with a perfect little punch of spice, rum cake & profiterole were divine! Excellent service, impressive chefs and the jovial teamwork really made it an experience. We’ll be back for our anniversary next year! Thanks for an awesome time!

Great experience with fun and delicious food. We shared all of our plates and it was a fun dinner for everyone. Management was totally engaging and all of the servers were very accommodating and helpful.

Every dish was outstanding. The drinks were well crafted. Our waitress (forget her name) was the perfect amount of attentive and very pleasant. Highly recommend the beef tartar and the snapper small plates!

The Easy Bistro is our go to for delightful cocktails, appetizers, and dinner. The happy hour oyster selection is wonderful. The chicken liver pate exceptional and all of our dinner selections have been truly delicious. Don't miss this one.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a better meal. Easy Bistro was a last-minute reservation after we spotted their menu online, and deciding to go was easy. Our reservation was for 7:45, and although the place was packed when we arrived, the service was quick and everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful with our questions. We started with cocktails and a dozen oysters (plus a few extras). Then we tried the squash soup—something that sounds simple but was anything but. For our entrée, we shared the bavette steak, cooked perfectly and incredibly tender. It paired beautifully with the sunchoke grits and sweet potato side. And of course, we couldn’t leave without dessert, so we ordered two. The profiterole was fantastic, and the crème brûlée had a slight lemony flavor with a great crunch from the sea salt flakes and pistachios on top. From start to finish, the food kept impressing us and made for a perfect date night.

Enjoyed a mid week meal with friends. Easy Bistro offers fantastic food and high visibility. For my first time, we sat in the main dining area, other visits were in the more private back room. Our party of four shared plates and easily satisfied ourselves. Conversation was louder in the main area where action dominates. Watching the service and all the plates pass by was far more interesting, for me. A great place to see and be seen. Congratulations on recent recognition Easy B.

Went to visit Chattanooga this labor day. Decided to give this place a chance. It was so nice. So beautiful. We started with the New Orleans BBQ shrimp. Absolutely delicious. Very flavorful. Then I had the Texas dip sandwich and my partner had the grilled salmon. We ended up with the Sunday ice cream last. I highly recommend this place for either a romantic time out or to have a fun get together. I could remember our servers name. He had glasses, brown hair, tall, and wore a green and purple bracelet. He was absolutely amazing. Knew the menu and suggested so many good things to us.

This was my first time actually loving a fish dish at an American restaurant! I usually don’t like cooked fish or dishes like this, but this one was amazing. Definitely the best restaurant I’ve tried in Chattanooga so far. The salad was unique. It was SO GOOOOOD. and the fried calamari was perfectly crispy. not greasy at all. I’m drooling looking at these photos😭

Another amazing meal at The Boathouse Rotisserie & Raw Bar! The Chesapeake Bay raw oysters are incredibly fresh, the grilled oysters smoky and flavorful, the trout almondine perfectly cooked, and the Apple Pecan Bread Pudding is pure comfort. Consistently outstanding food and a warm, inviting atmosphere make it hands down a favorite whenever we visit Chattanooga!

I love the large patio overlooking the Tennessee River. Gorgeous views. While we waited for a table, we sat at the bar and had a few drinks. The bartenders were excellent. Very friendly and always checked on us. We had an amazing table outside and with the sun going down, the view was fabulous. I am allergic to seafood but they were able to accommodate to make sure my food was safe for me to eat. Everyone loved their dinner. It came out hot and delicious. We had the bread pudding and didn't want to stop eating it, it was outstanding. Definitely recommend if in the area to eat at.

Come here! Any wait is worth it. I would have gladly waited hours. The food is that good. I had the murder bay oysters and whole smoked trout. The Trout was cooked perfectly. The view outside is beautiful too. My kids loved their fried shrimp.

We did have to wait awhile for our table since it was busy and we requested for outdoor seating, but we managed to wait it out at the bar. Bartender was wonderful. Table service was also great and everything came quickly.

The food is always so good and fresh tasting. The wait can be long, but it’s worth it! Beautiful river views. We’re lucky to have to this place. Salmon smash burger is great! Trout almandine is great! The garlic, olive oil, feta dip is great! Fries are sooooo good! The rotisserie chicken meal with the cabbage side is so good.

We had our son's Rehearsal Dinner at Public House Chattanooga on 8/15/25 and we could not have been more pleased with everything they have done for us. From the planning with the event organizer to the delicious food, wonderful timely service, set up of tables were beyond amazing. I would give 10 out of 5 stars for them I can. I recommend them highly for your upcoming private gatherings. Special thanks to Laura Ellinor for all her help. She was very responsive, accommodating, polite, knowledgable.

Excellent fried chicken, which is marinated in southern sweet tea. You get a leg, thigh and breast. Very juicy and crispy. Mac n cheese was solid, too. We ordered the soup beans, but sent them back because they cook the bean al dente. As for deserts, key lime and carrot cake were both very tasty. Service couldn't have been better.

It's been years since I stopped here. What a treat! I enjoyed the lovely pot roast that was so tender and the sauce was rich. I enjoyed a side of beets with goat cheese and a small salad. Everything was delicious. One companion got the chicken livers with grits and hot butter sauce. The batter was too heavy so she was searching for the actual meat, but the flavor was wonderful with a kick of heat. A little more grits would have allowed her to soak up the sauce and pair with the healthy portion of chicken. My other companion enjoyed the roasted quail small plate. The inside was juivy with a crispy skin. We also ordered a special brown butter latte that was so smooth and tasty. It needed to be a little warmer, but the flavor was so good. Beautiful presentation for all the items and good service.

Excellent place for drinks and dinner. The staff is friendly too. Ate here two nights in a row. First night we had a reservation. But arrived 45 minutes early and they happily seated us right away. The next night we didn’t have reservations, but they found us room in the bar lounge. The pot roast was delectable, and you can’t compete with their shoe string fries!

I have to say this, maybe one of my faite restaurants in Chattanooga. The food is so delicious. I never have been one to like steak, but this place literally made me like steak. It has the perfect seasoning the perfect tenderness and everything you feel like you’re fine dining but for the prices is not horrible at all this is my favorite place to go to for occasion. The only thing that I would say that is kind of annoying as you have to reserve a while ahead we got lucky and went on a day that wasn’t busy but we sat outside and if you do sit outside, just beware it is loud with traffic and firetrucks lol. But this is one of my favorite places and I will be coming back.

Trout was excellent! The service was excellent! The hostess found us a table and seated us on a Saturday without a reservation, the waitress was familiar with the menu and wine list and made sure we were served in plenty of time to make the show we were in town to attend. I look forward to dining here again and would recommend to anyone visiting Chattanooga... make reservations for a weekend visit.

Everything was very good, staff was attentive, engaging and knowledgeable, the food was well-prepared, and good portion size, (the plating was a bit disjointed, making the portions looked smaller). A solid service! A bit more cohesiveness and creativity in the dishes would have earned 5 stars.

Bluegrass grill is a great spot dishing out delicious food! My go-to is the eggs benedict, but I recently tried a build your own omelet with jalapeño bacon and it was fantastic. I haven’t had a bad bite here. Do yourself a favor and try the bacon flight — you won’t regret it! The pancakes and home fries are also spectacular.

Nina was our server and she made us feel like we were home. The food was delicious and farm to table fresh. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

i loved the atmosphere of this cozy and welcoming restaurant! the wait was kind of terrible, i'd estimate it was about 30+ minutes on a friday at 11 am. i didn't mind because i was hungry, but the line was going out the door! we finally got a place at a table with a couple who didn't mind us joining the table, and from there the food came out quickly and the service was great. i came to this place specifically because i heard they had a vegan option, that being the tofu hash. i liked that they had an option that i could eat and the hash was well-seasoned and packed with many vegetables. while i was only in town for the tourist-y things in the chattanooga area, i had a great time at the restaurant and would stop by again if i was around. definitely recommend!

The food was very tasty! I ended up ordering a biscuit to go because I heard they were to die for! I love the atmosphere. It is family style seating but that was great for us as we chatted with the people we sat with.

Came in around 10 on weekday. Busy but got seated immediately. Friendly staff. Got a two top in the front window and enjoyed people watching. Had the chorizo hash- absolutely excellent! Potatos fried just right and the mixture of chorizo and cheese on top just right. My wife got the quiche and fresh fruit and it hit the spot. Good service. QR Scan and pay so you can roll whenever you are ready. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

We were not blown away with our visit to Bluegrass. The service was great but the food was lack luster. I enjoyed the environment and community vibe as well! We ordered a Mediterranean frittata with grits and crispy potatoes. The frittata was great and super full of veggies and cheese. I did not enjoy the grits at all. We also ordered a special with egg and coffee bacon on a jalapeño bun. It was ok. Overall we just thought the food was mediocre. I left still hungry which is never a goal.

We were panicking our last day to find a restaurant to go to, the one I had wanted fell through. We found this one and saw MULTIPLE gluten free options and decided to give it a go. We will be back!!!! Our server, Nina (I believe), was so fabulous and funny and super knowledgeable about the menu and my dietary restriction. I was able to have a hash scramble with potatoes, tofu, a ton of veggies, a cheddar biscuit (!!) And a cinnamon roll (!!!!!!!) That cinnamon roll was life changing. I'm still thinking about it. My partner got the French toast and jalapeño bacon with some eggs and he thoroughly enjoyed his meal too. The atmosphere was cute, they had these community tables and a couple single party tables. We have to also mention the incredible other staff members, including the hysterical jacked guy that was serving tables in a tank top, seriously as servers we loved his vibe, and the sweet busser, hostess, and food runner. The impact this place left on our hearts (and stomachs) means we will absolutely be back next vacation... if not sooner!

We loved everything from walking in to when we left. It was an experience not just dinner out. The atmosphere was cozy elegant, booth cushions were velvety soft with great support, and staff were friendly and helpful. Our server was so kind, knowledgeable and helpful explaining different menu items. The chef and his staff prepared mouthwatering dishes with top quality ingredients, that are pleasing to the eyes and taste buds. We were a party of 3, every dish was delicious and we shared them all. Our first time, but definitely not our last!

Simply an outstanding experience. Walking into this beautiful space was wonderful. Margaret was exceptional with her knowledge of the menu and made our special night so much more special. Don't miss the bread with Sorghum butter. We started with crab cakes and soup, both very delicious. The Antelope with parsnips, beets, and turnip was prepared perfectly, so very tasty. The dessert list was amazing. House made ice cream and so many other treats. Put St. John's Restaurant on your to do list. We will certainly be returning often.

Great overall experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent but there just wasn’t anything that was over the top. We had the crab cakes and the scallops for a first course. They both were smaller than expected but very good. I like my crab cakes with a little more crust and a little larger. However they were very good. We also had the potato leek soup and it was excellent as well. Really enjoyed it. For our main dish, my wife and I had the Halibut. Others at our table had the Bison ribeye and beef filet. Another situation where everything was great. Same with desserts, all excellent but tour probably not going to tell people how awesome they were. The atmosphere and service were top tier and I would definitely recommend this place. You WON’T have a bad meal here. It was worth the money and everyone really enjoyed it.

The whole experience was wonderful! All of the staff were friendly and personable. The food was amazing! There are meeting rooms that are beautiful. There was a party of 100 upstairs and we couldn't hear them . We ordered the Charcuterie Board and it was so good we forgot to take pictures. We also ordered the fried goat cheese which was delicious.

Wow! What a place to dine. I’ve been all over the world and eaten at some of the finest restaurants and I can say with certainty this was one of the best meals of my life. The food was unctuous but not overbearing. Our server Cait was knowledgeable and friendly and on point. The dining room was classy and laid back but super elegant at the same time. I cannot rave highly enough about this place.

The food was outstanding, service by Joy was impeccable. First time here, and was truly one of the best meals and experiences I’ve had. Thank you to Laura for making our mine and Jessie’s anniversary so special!

Absolutely a wonderful experience. The new location is amazing and exceeded expectations. The staff was amazing and the food was equally amazing. I cannot wait to come back.
