Reviews for Flying Squirrel in Chattanooga, TN
Fabulous ambiance, professional and friendly staff, fast service, great menu selection, beautiful and generous plating. We went... for a date night and it did not disappoint. We shared two appetisers and were plenty full. Highly recommend. Read more
I just have to commend a place that offers rare spirits in appropriate spirit-focused glassware at extremely reasonable prices... (honestly, probably underpriced). We just came in to look at the menu after already having dinner and drinks and had to stickaround for Old Rip. We?ll definitely be back for dinner (and drinks) soon! The ambiance and lighting was spectacular as the sunwent down. Surprisingly calm for a Friday night, and the bar staff was super friendly and helpful. Read more
My goodness gracious where do I start! I must say, we came to splurge, and splurge we did- in the best way possible. Having... never had it but desperately wanting to, the okonomiyaki was a pleasant surprise. It was everything I dreamt of and more!Absolutely delicious and totally worth trying. Do be warned, that plate is quite large! With three of us (and how delicious thegarlic fries were), we couldn?t quite finish it, so come hungry! Now, the garlic fries. Wow, something so simple done soexcellently; I?m daydreaming about the fries while writing this, and probably again when you?re reading this! I can?t raveenough. They came with ranch and ketchup but frankly they were absolutely perfect as is. The Japanese salted salmon was cookedperfectly, and seasoned likewise. Incredibly tender and juicy with a perfectly crisp skin- this wasn?t my dish as I don?tgenerally enjoy salmon, but man I?d order this in a heartbeat! Boyfriend had the salmon and said he dislikes beets butabsolutely loved the application here. I had the flank steak and MAN was I wowed! Juicy, tender, perfectly seasoned, andperfectly cooked. The brandy mustard cream sauce is to die for. Honestly I will HAVE to get it again, and with a little extrasauce it was so dang good. The chef cuts the steak on a harsh bias in several slices making it incredibly tender and a loteasier to cut and eat compared to your standard steak. The plating allowed all the resting juices to be soaked into the (somehowstill crispy!) potatoes below so nothing went to waste, and every bite was a beautiful blend of rich, tangy, creamy, meatydeliciousness. I have no doubt I?ll be dreaming about it later tonight. For drinks we had the Odd Couple (not pictured) andSummer Water. Now frankly I do not love the taste of liquor, but both drinks accented them incredibly well. Summer Water wasperfectly balanced to help cut the richness of the dishes between bites and to cleanse to taste each other?s choices, somethingnice to sip alo Read more
Beautiful restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. Excellent food, wine and spirits. Unfortunately the service is sub-par. The server... brought the check before we were done eating and my wife had just ordered another drink. I wasnt afforded the opportunity foranother. Too bad. Could be a five star place. Read more
Chattanooga wknd, we heard whispers of this spot and decided to grab it for brunch after visiting Ruby Falls. Food was great. We... made a reservation in case, were seated early, but noticed it was picking up as we entered full lunch hours. Service was fastand friendly. Portions, decent size. Price moderate, depending on what you order. Fries were on point. I had the shrimp andgrits? lots of grits, I had to take them home. Getting used to the amount of grits they serve in the south takes some time.????. The only thing that bothered me were the tails of the shrimp were still in the shell which is frustrating to maneuveraround and makes for unnecessary mess. But everything was yummy. I particularly loved looking up at the Jenga ceiling. Fundesign. Enjoy!! Read more
EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!!! I never expected this kind of level of food quality in Chatanooga. The foods will be in your TOP3 in... your life time. The pork belly is perfectly cooked so it is not dry at the same time just juice enought. Small portion tho.Order it for your appetizer. The duckconfit blew my mind. Usually, your duck confit comes out very soagy on your plate from allthe sweet sauce. HOWEVER, this chef does his magic to harmonize the sauce, duck, veggies, and the sauce all together. I didnteven expect the flank steak to be good. I just ordered it for stomach filling. But, the sauce and the fresh veggies just tightlysupported the taste of the flank steak taste. I strongly RECOMMEND!!!! Read more
We had a really great brunch on Sunday. The service was fast and friendly. The food was excellent and meticulously prepared. The... selections were very unique and descriptive. The chicken and waffle featured perfect fried chicken and a fluffy waffle. Thebreakfast burrito was HUGE and stuffed with chorizo, eggs, potatoes, and cheese. The karaage was a unique addition with Japanesefried chicken over savory grits. The coffee was excellent and the Bloody Mary was well prepared. A very nice experience on thepatio. Read more
Yes to this hip restaurant with tons of seating and a menu with serious flair. We were happy to be seated right away on a Friday... evening at 8pm. Drink orders were taken right away. Wasn?t terribly impressed with my drink of choice but suppose I misspicked.ANYWAY - the menu. They encourage you to order a few plates and share as the plates will come out exactly when they are ready-no typical appetizer, main course structure. Our waitress, Emma, recommended we ordered 3-4 plates. We picked the Okonomiyaki,pork belly and the crack chicken or whatever it was called. All seriously crazy amazing. My favorite was the pork belly whichwas so fresh, nice big pieces with soft inside and crispy outside. I was amazed and don?t think I could ever order pork bellyanywhere else after that experience because I would be dissatisfied. All items had a Japanese or Asians taste which could havebeen a coincidence of our order or maybe not, but was very welcome. Only down side besides my cocktail was that after we got ourfood we never saw Emma again until she gave us our check without asking if we?d like another drink or if we?d like dessert. Thatwas disappointing and honestly a major turnoff after our awesome experience. Regardless, I?d go back and highly recommend thisjoint, but cmon Emma. Bar seating, outside area seating+ in a super cool and happening area. Read more
