Decided to try this place out on a Saturday midday since all our normal brunch spots were packed out with long waits. We were disappointed they weren’t still serving brunch so we tried their hummus, pepperoni pizza and the cortina pizza. The hummus was excellent. The toppings were a bit heavy for the crust on the pepperoni but it wasn’t bad. It actually became easier to eat after it cooled a few minutes. The cortina pizza was really good as the crust was perfectly crisp. The crust alone makes their pizza better than many pizzas I’ve had in the Chattanooga area. The prices were quite a bit lower than other places in the area which was a pleasant surprise. Recommendations: Serve brunch/breakfast later on Saturday. This will definitely increase your business. It was pretty dead at lunchtime. If you are out of something let the customer know ahead of time. We ordered two different appetizers and were told after we had put the order in that they didn’t have them. Use less arugula and chop up the prosciutto more on the cortina and it will be perfect.
Side note: Not sure why several people think it’s necessary to give a low review purely based on the fact that this restaurant is connected to a church. Seems tasteless and unfair. I’m not even a churchgoer. Reviews should be based on the food and the...
Read moreWent here on a whim, and oh yes am I glad we did! My son and I had time to kill in the area and decided to have lunch here. We had the whipped feta which is the BEST appetizer I have ever eaten at a restaurant. That is high praise! It has it all!! It is tangy, it has a hint of sweet, salty. It is served with warm fresh pita. I would travel several hours just to come back for this! I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup which was really good however, the soup was lukewarm which made it not worth paying for in my opinion, but the grilled cheese made up for it. It had sweet jam, apple slices and warm delicious cheese and perfectly toasted bread. Well done! My son had some sort of pasta dish that he really enjoyed. If you’re in the area I highly recommend. The kitchen is surrounded in glass so that you can see your food being prepared. The atmosphere is very cool vibes with friendly service. They bring you cute pitchers filled with ice water so that you’ll not be thirsty waiting on a server. I will say that the dessert we ordered was a fail. But that’s ok, there was a lot more good than...
Read moreSo this review isn't about the food exactly, but about the restaurant and menu. As of this writing, on their website they have breakfast, brunch, and lunch options, but they don't say exactly when they serve them. The breakfast menu specifically has some items that look delicious, but are not on the brunch menu. My wife and I made reservations for a Saturday morning, really excited to try some of the options on the breakfast menu, only to sit down and find out that they don't serve the breakfast menu at 9 a.m. on a Saturday, they only serve the brunch menu. None of those items were really appealing to us, so we chose to get up and leave without eating. I don't know why they do this, maybe they have a good reason, but I hope they start serving the full menu on weekends or at least clearly list on their website when each is served to avoid confusion. It was overall a confusing and disappointing experience. The staff did seem very friendly, but unfortunately that was all we experienced...
