The restaurant, which specializes in aged steaks, fresh seafood, chicken, and ribs seared over a wood fired grill, opened in May 2014, and continues to serve the full-spectrum dining experience to the community.

"We can't thank the Chattanooga community enough for giving us the honor of being named 'Best New Restaurant,'" says Aaron Owen, general manager. "It's amazing that, out of 10,000 ballots that were cast, we were chosen as Chattanooga's favorite. We are very humbled and honored."

The 7,976-square-foot restaurant features an exhibition kitchen, indoor stone fireplace, cozy outdoor patio and its own FIREBAR with a waterfall display of colorful bottles. Dark woods, vivid colors, and comfortable seating create a cozy and intimate dining room setting.
