We should have realized that after taking 10 minutes to get seated when there were empty tables available, that this would turn out to be a bad experience. It took over an hour to receive our food. After about 35 mintues, the server did come over and let us know that the "kitchen staff" forgot to put my burger on... more

You simply cannot beat the once-in-a-lifetime view overlooking the river (from the glassed-in sunroom at the top of the stairs, choose the corner table and you'll think you've gone to heaven!) and the ambiance is immediately relaxing and welcoming. The kitchen is downstairs and the restaurant is mostly upstairs, so service is sometimes a bit slow, but well worth the... more

4 stars for the view- outdoor seating is probably the best in town- beautiful view of the river. In the Art District- walking distance to walking bridge- menu is so-so in my opinion more

We had lunch on a Monday afternoon, around 2:00 when most of the lunch crowd had already passed. The restaurant was clean, the service was great, and the views are wonderful. The excellent food is what makes this restaurant stand out. The Shrimp & Grits was terrific and is highly recommended; it tasted very fresh and the flavors were well-balanced.... more

The food here is wonderful. I was a little dissappointed of our server but overall it was a great place to eat. The food and atmosphere would get an A+, service would receive a C. We may have had a new server, I don't know but I would recommend the Back In Cafe to anyone visiting Chattanooga. I had the... more

We had watched Rachel's show and this restaurant was on her list. We were not disappointed! A great place to eat! What a beautiful setting for one of the best meals we have ever had! The food was absolutely amazing. The lobster bisque had huge clumps of lobster and was served in a bread bowl. The house salad was terrific.... more
